“You were trying to gain power for yourself” King Theo shouted.
“Or Fenrir” Koda added “I doubt he acted on his own. Besides, if Maddie has this necklace, then how did you know she had it, there’s more to this story”
“Then we will get it out of him using pain” Jax said eagerly “I’ve been waiting a long time for this moment Jordan, thank you for finally openly f*cking up, I didn’t want to wait until I was King before you got what was coming to you”
“Jaxson enough” The King scolded him “We’re leaving, Madelyn, your guards will be back in place within the next few minutes”
“Thank you” I bowed, before he left the office.
“Get out” Jax ordered my personal guard, and Molly, who’d been standing silently by the door.
Once they were gone, Jax closed the door and looked at me “I know you weren’t lying about the note, as you have a tell when you lie, but I do know, that there is a necklace”
I nervously fidgeted with my fingers “Yes”
The twins looked at each other “Why didn’t you tell us about it?” Koda asked.
The door swung open, and the King looked in “HURRY UP!” He interrupted us, and I jumped a little.
“We will talk about this tonight” Jaxson told me “Stay with your guard”
Koda kissed my forehead “Link us, if something else happens”
I nodded, and Jax kissed me, before they both left, leaving the door ajar, and I sat down at my desk, trying to take in everything Jordan had accused me of.
“Molly”
“Yes, Luna?”
“Where are the books I had the day I was hurt?”
“Over here” She went over to a pile of books, and brought them over to me.
“Did you notice a note?”
“No”
“Thank you, please leave me alone, and let me know when Evelyn arrives.
“Yes, Luna”
JAXSON’S POV
“What do you think about this note bullsh*t?” I linked Koda, as we rode down in the elevator, with our father who was glaring angrily at the doors.
“I think there’s something off about Noland, and we both know it, and it’s about time we confronted him” Koda told me “If he’s not with Fenrir, then he’s her Keeper, there’s no other explanation”
“Or maybe he just has a crush” I said with hope that I could deal with.
“Yeah, right” He crossed his arms “If he is her Keeper, what are we going to do? We’ll have to tell Maddie about the golden thread”
“What if she does choose to give that connection to her Keeper?”
“I don’t want her connected to another man” Koda agreed, as the elevator opened, and we walked out behind out father.
“Me either” I told him, and we both fell silent until we were inside our father’s car.
“So, did you hear from the dragon King?” I asked my father once we were in the car.
“Yes” He sounded worried “His kid is dead, Fenrir killed her guard and her, and pulled several of her teeth and scales”
“Sh*t” I rubbed my face “The King was already angry that he’d lost a dragon when Scott bombed the building, but his own kid dying will destroy any relationship we had, we’ll have to deal with the dragons retaliating”
“I’ve spoken with King Jahmir” Our father told us “He has sent troops out to find Fenrri, and warned me that he we get in there way, our lives will be forfeit too, and if we find my brother first, Jahmir expects us to hand him over, so I don’t think we have to worry right now about an attack, his focused on Fenrir”
“So, we may be able to fix this” Koda suggested.
“Fenrir killed his daughter” I reminded him “I doubt fixing this will be easy, but kill her anyway. What’s so special about her scales and teeth?”
“His daughter was a golden dragon” My father said, shocking us both. I’d never heard of a golden dragon “Not a lot of outsiders knew that information. I have no idea how Fenrir found out”
“Did Jordan know?” Koda asked “He may have told Fenrir”
“Enough about Jordan” My father snapped “We have Troy to deal with, we’ll worry about Jordan after”
Koda and I exchanged and annoyed look, but fell silent. We both know our father’s attitude would be different if it was our mother being accused of an affair.
Troy was being kept in one of the torture cells, on the lowest levels of the prison, that resided underground, in the darkest and most dank levels. The only light that reached this level came from the dim lights.
My senses went into overdrive when I smelt the stale air and blood that lingered all around us.
I remembered the first time I’d been brought in here. I was 7 and my grandfather forced me to watch the interigation of a rouge who’d killed a young boy.
Two guards with masks on, pushed open the door for my father, and bowed to us as we passed them, closing the door behind us once we were inside.
Troy was sitting on his knees, with the cuffs still in place, and a shackle around his throat that was connected to a silver chain, connected to the wall by a silver manacle, and I took great satisfaction in knowing the silver chain was lying over his back, burning into his flesh.
His eyes were closed, as his blood dripped down his body onto the ground, but his face was contorted in pain.
There was nothing in this room except a rack of torture devices and a guard, Darcy, who luckily for me, hated werewolves, as his son had been killed by a werewolf rogue. There was going to be no mercy in this room for Troy.
“Hello again Troy” My father said calmly, as he walked over the stone flooring towards our prisoner.
Troy opened his eyes and lazily looked up at us, but there was a strange vacancy to his stare that hadn’t been there before.
“Why, your majesty” Troy smiled, showing bloodied teeth, I guess Darcy had already been beating on him before we showed up “I’m honored, who knew I’d be getting a private audience with the King”
“Shut up Troy” I snarled.
“I want to know where my brother is” My father asked calmy “How is he blocking the twin connection? I should be able to track him”
Another perk of being a twin, we could always track one another, no matter where we were, although when you’re playing hide and seek as a child, it was very frustrating.
“Miss him already ey” Troy spat out blood onto the floor by my father’s feet “All you twins, are so codependent”
My father threw a punch, and Troy’s head snapped back painfully, and two of his teeth fell out of Troy’s mouth as he coughed and spat up more blood.
“Where is Fenrir?”
