Chapter 10

Ryu

"Where is she?" The King asks as we run through the forest, knowing we won't be detected so easily, "I trusted you, Ryu."

"We were ambushed, there was nothing that I could do." I tell him, already feeling like shit enough than to hear it from him right now, "Blaine is a dragon, so he was able to see through the glamor. I'm sorry that it happened that way, but I don't think that she is in any danger right now and she will be okay until we can get to her. I think that we more so need to worry about now is what'll happen next when we are able to get to her. Don't you think? We're going to have a fight on our hands."

I know he wants to scold me, but he knows I'm telling the truth. There's just nothing that we can do about it, and I have no clue what'll end up coming next. I feel weird about this entire thing, like nothing is making sense but I also know that this isn't all of my fault. I'm going to figure it out one way or another, but he is going to have to trust me when I tell him that this is just what is going to end up happening for now. I mean, how else are we going to be able to save her?

"We need to save her, Ryu." The King murmurs and I can see the fear on his face, "I can't live without my daughter, I'm sure you know this."

I understand completely how he feels and I'm able to track her down because I know her scent the best. It is due to the bond. Standing outside is Blaine and the hunters, knowing this isn't an area for us to shift. Since I am now prepared for this, there is no way that I'm going to let him win this and I'm going to make sure that he regrets messing with me because he should have known that I would retaliate the minute that I learned he was fucking with the woman that I care about.

"Blaine, I suggest you hand her over or we won't have any choice but to kill all of you." I murmur coldly, my heart thumping in my chest, "I'm not afraid to show you what happens when you mess with me and my family."

I should have known that Blaine would be as snide as usual as he folded his arms across his chest, "Don't even try with me, Ryu, we're going to fight to the death. May the better dragon win."

I charge at him as the rest of the warriors run with me. Blaine is mine and I think everyone knows this. There is no way they are going to stand in my way, and they know that I'm not going to put up with this shit any longer. I hate that he thinks it is going to happen this way, but it is pissing me off that it has even come down to this. I couldn't believe that everything had happened this way and it made me feel a bit sick to my stomach. As I rush towards Blaine, I just know that I have to protect my woman at all costs.

My fist connects with his face, him probably thinking that I was going to hit him with something else but I'm not so nice. He stumbles back but manages to straighten himself back up as he lunges back towards me, not even attempting to hold back. It was a bit scary, making me wonder what would come from it because there was no way that I was going to let him win. I made sure that he knew I was not going to be holding back, throwing punch after punch as I hit him, making sure to do my worst.

I know he is attempting to fight back but is failing miserably. It's not really his fault because it's just not something that he is able to handle. He isn't like me; he doesn't have the reason or will to win because he truly isn't fighting for anything. I'm the one beating his ass and I'm trying to save my woman. He did the wrong thing to fuck with the person that I care about and I'm going to make sure that he knows it as well. The minute my fist connects with his face again, he topples to the ground.

It shouldn't have been so easy, and I see him attempting to do his worst. Instead of giving up and giving him a second chance, I dig my nails right into his neck and slash his throat open, showing no mercy. He choked on his own blood, probably having thought that I would let him go but there's no way I would have let that happen. It pisses me off that he would even think it to be possible, just staring down at his body as he dies.

It shouldn't have been so easy, but the hunters are next to die, and no one on our side was killed either. I think we just had a big motivation, knowing how there was no way in hell that I was going to let Avalon get hurt. I didn't care what happened to me so long as she would be safe, and I think that is the biggest thing. I was slightly worried about what would come from it, but a dangerous game is being played now and I don't know what to make of it. I guess only time will tell what else might come through.

I walk into the cabin, afraid that she will be hurt. When I see her worried blue eyes, I relax and rush over to her, crushing the chains so she would be free. Leaping into my arms, she kisses me which I didn't expect but I loved either way. I don't know what this woman is doing to me but I'm okay with it, loving every moment of what is happening between us. Oh, fuck me, just what have I gotten myself into with this beautiful woman?
