(Hunter's P.O.V.)
My jaw dropped when I heard that Elizabeth had a brother. She never spoke of him and never showed me that he was there. I mean I had heard of Damos from the council but not that he had siblings. He was a ghost dragon meaning he could disappear whenever he needed to but I never expected him to be able to come here.
"You know I can't betray Richard, Elizabeth, I would be killed. What do you want me to do stay with you? The last time that happened I damn near got killed as well as you. I don't have the luxury of dying and coming back to life. It isn't safe to follow you and you know it," Damos remarked.
"That's where your wrong, Damos. Do you not remember why Micah did what he did? He tortured me so I would reject my mate because he knew that if I didn't whoever followed me would become immortal and impossible to stop. Damos, I found my mate and I didn't reject him. Hunter is my mate and I didn't appreciate you ordering him around like he was nothing more than a common dragon," Elizabeth replied angrily.
Wait, did she just say immortal like never die. That's a lot to process. Her dad wanted her to reject me. The fuck was wrong with him. I wanted to bring him back just so I could kill him.
"Calm your thoughts please Hunter. You are overloading my brain with your emotions. I can't think with you acting like a damn bat-shit crazy lunatic. Relax before I put you to sleep dear, I can't concentrate with your thoughts running wild," I hear Elizabeth thoughts in my head.
"Your mate is nothing compared to me so I can boss him and order him around like a common dragon if I so wish! You need to learn your place among our family, you are nothing compared to me and the rest of us. You never have been, you were a mistake that mother made all those years ago," Damos spat out at Elizabeth. You could physically see her getting angry at him. Her eyes were starting to go to the deepest shade of purple I have ever seen.
"Either stop insulting me or die. You have no idea what I am capable of Damos. My father is dead, I killed him and if you don't stop you are next. Do you want to take your chances? I will not hesitate to kill you," Elizabeth growled out. Damos smirked and ran outside before shifting and roaring a challenge at her.
(Elizabeth's P.O.V.)
Damos had just challenged me making my dragon come to the surface. She propelled me forward out the door before shifting. I roared making the walls of the house shake. My dragon was pissed off at the thought of this puny piece of shit challenging me for my title. She wanted to kill him for it.
Damos charges at me going for the easy defeat. I moved out of the way at the last second before swiping my paw across his face leaving a trail of claw marks across his snout. He came at me again, more cautiously this time but with the same result. I swiped my paw across his back descaling over half of it.
I lunged at him grabbing his right wing in my jaw before ripping it off of his body. He roared in pain. He lunged at me but slowly because he was in pain. I moved under him and grabbed his tail, swinging him into the sky. I flew up and grabbed him by the tail dragging him higher into the air before digging my claws into his side and diving toward the ground. I pushed him in front of me so he hit the ground with me landing on top of him. I ripped his other wing off before tearing his tail from is body. Damos was weak and shifted back to human with me towering above him.
"I will never submit to you. If you kill me you will declare war on everyone. Do you really want the death of millions to be on your conscious," Damos asked me weakly. I knew his strength was waning. I could feel it pouring out of him as he looked at me in fear.
I shifted to human and said to him, "You insulted me, there is no going back from that." I tore his head from his body, killing him. I shifted to my dragon and roared in victory before roaring and sending a challenge to the council declaring war on them all. They had let me suffer for years and now it was time for them to suffer at my hands and know that I was not to be taken lightly. My thunder came to me and roared with me before we all took to the sky to head to the field to train for what was coming.
