The Princess And Her Dragon Mate

Answers

*Astrid’s POV*

When I saw the guard had peed his pants, I felt some satisfaction. I grab Maximus’s hand and look to Dekker and Jake, and Mason to follow, and we set off to the ballroom. The princess can not be late for her party. When we get to the Doors, I push them open and walk in, followed by my guests. I walk straight to my mother and stepfather. When mum sees me, she looks mad. Then she sees Dekker behind me and goes pale. I walk up to her Hello mother, thank you for the party. I'm so surprised. “Astrid, can we talk alone?” No, Mum, right here is fine. I would love for you to meet my Mate Maximus and his Father Mason, and you have met Jake, oh and Have you met my Father Dekker? As I put my arms around Dekker to hug him, he affectionately kisses my head and rubs my back. He then holds his hand out to my mother but is left hanging. Dekker drops his hand, mother that was rude! My mum grabs me and pulls me out of the hall.

I look back to Maximus to follow. He understands right away, and they all follow us out of the hall. The guests are looking at us. When mum stops dragging me, she spins around and slaps me across the face “what do you think you are doing bringing Dragons here? Don't you know the Danger you have brought in? And why don't you have your contacts in to hide your eyes, and why are your hideous wings out? Have I taught you nothing, and that man you called a father is not your father? He is a mere thief I met before you were born, and no daughter of mine will choose a dragon as her mate. Do you understand me?” I chuckle. Are you done, mother, because that was quite a speech, and I assure you Dekker is my father Ingrid told me so? I will have Maximus as a Mate the Goddess has chosen we'll work for me, and as for hiding my wings and eyes, well, now that I'm 18, I can do what I want this is who I am a mother I will not hide that because you are ashamed of your past and that will be the last time you hit me! I love you, mother, and I don't want to lose you, but when will you tell me the truth about who I am?

“Astrid, it's true that man is your father, but he is a grifter and scum. I was ashamed I went slumming, and when I met your stepfather, he thought you were his, so I went along with it, and as for the wings and eyes, I have spoken to doctors. They said it was a mutation that we can have fixed now that you are 18. Don't ruin your life by taking the advice from strangers,” I laugh. Dekker comes up behind me and stops my mother from saying any more, “Willow, that's enough. You didn't know who I was when we met. You are the one who pushed for us to do what we did, then you found out was friends with mason. My dear, slumming isn't what I would call it” Dekker takes out his contact lenses and pulls out a necklace that has two purple dragons and a ruby in the middle of the pendant. My mother swallows and looks at the charm, then at Dekker and whispers “, Goddess Dragon” Dekker smirks, “oh, you have heard of us, willow.? Mum nods “yes, I have heard of them, but it can't be the king has been missing, and they are waiting for a female air to take her place so who are you, Dekker?” I look between my mother and Dekker mum. Let me introduce you to my father, Dekker. He is the King of the Goddess Dragon’s. This time, Dekker holds out his hand, and my mother takes it. She doesn't speak. She looks at me, then at Dekker; then it hits her that I am the air mum gets mad and goes to hit me. Maximus grabs her wrist before she shot lands on my face “with all due respect, ma'am, but I would appreciate it if you keep your hands off my Mate. I know she is your daughter, but that does not mean you can hit her now if we are done here. I do believe that we have a party to attend, and the guests are waiting!” mum looks at Maximus wide-eyed “ Mate, fae don't have mates, so please stop referring to my Daughter As a mate because she is Fae!” I giggle. Uh, mum, maybe we should go to my garden. I have something I want to show you then we can go to the party, okay? My mother nods and walks off to the park. Maximus holds me close, and Dekker, Mason and Jake follow when we get to the garden, my mother sits down on the seats, and the men Join her. I go behind a tree, and I feel Ingrid take over. I quickly strip out of my clothes and shift when I come out from behind the tree and go to my mother. She is looking at me in fear; Dekker holds her still, and I drop down and put my head on the Ground Dekker slowly walks my mother to me, and she puts her hand on my cheek. “Astrid, is that you?” Decker whispers to my mother, and she looks up at me and begins to sob, “oh my baby, I'm so sorry for all these years I belittled you and told you your eyes were ugly when you are the most beautiful creature I have seen will you ever forgive me?” I look down at my mother, and then I feel Maximus come over to me and kiss my big cheek. He whispers, “Go shift back, baby, so that you can talk to your mother. We will keep her here. I get up and walk back behind the trees. I turn around, and I quickly get dressed when I walk to my mother, she bows her head. “Astrid, forgive me; I should never have lied. And I will support any decision you choose to make, but tonight it is about you to go to your party? And we will talk after and Mason and Dekker. Can I please have a word with you both? I believe I owe a huge apology. Maximus, Jake and I walk back to the great hall, and Maximus whispers Baby, that was hot. I love it when you go all glittery, Dragon. How long until this party is over?

*Maximus POV*

Watching Astrid shift and show her mother precisely who she was with no fear was terrific. My mate is strong. She will make a great queen. I want to get her alone, but I know we have to do all the formal things that happen at these parties. I wrap my arm around Astrid’s waist, and we walk into the hall. I see a girl run up and hug Astrid, then look me up and down “so Astrid, do you have a Name for me, tall, Dark and Dreamy?” I chuckle, and Astrid Laughs. “Cassandra, you are so naughty. This is my mate Maximus, and his Best friend Jake” Cassandra's mouth drops open. It looks like Astrid and i “Mates” I laugh and hold out my hand, pleased to meet you, Cassandra, yes, we are mates, and this is Jake. I nudge Jake, and he starts at Cassandra; when she notices him, she stares right back. I look at Astrid, who is amused by their reactions “do you think they are mates, max?” I chuckle. Well, if they are, that’s great because I can have you alone, and I kiss her head. I then nudge Jake, and Astrid nudges Cassandra to snap out of their daze; Jake walks. To Cassandra, and they lock lips. I guess that answers that question. Astrid leads us to the Dance floor, and then we get food. I meet a lot of different fae, and. Near the end of the night, Astrid's mother comes on stage and calls for Astrid and me. When we are upon the Stage, my father and Dekker come out. My Dad looks worried, as Does Dekker. I walk to them, and my Dad, “whispers, get Astrid out of here. Once the Speech is Done, we have a problem, and I don't think that willow will be able to fix it” I look at my dad, puzzled, yet I nod. I walk back to Astrid and wait for willow to begin “welcome everyone from near and Far to wish my Daughter Astrid a happy 18th birthday today; we look to the next leaders of the thrown. However, I have been keeping secrets, and I have told some lies to you all.

As you can see, Astrid has wings and purple Eyes. I have been keeping secrets from you all, and my daughter Astrid is the next in line to succeed me. Still, you all should Know Astrid is not only the future Queen of all the fae and the lands, but she is Also a Goddess Dragon Princess. Her Mate is Prince of the Dark Dragons. Now I know I have said that dragons are horrible and will eat fae, but that is a lie Dragons are quite the opposite. They are here to protect fae and to work with us,” I hear murmurs of the people. Some look angry, yet they are not pointing their anger at Astrid or me. They are focused on Queen Dekker goes up to her side, and I look around for the King, and He has left the stage. Astrid stands closer to me and jumps when an older woman clears her throat. Then, in a raised voice that hushed the crowd, she looks to Astrid and me. “Princess Astrid, first of all, Happy birthday, child” Astrid smiles. “And secondly, is it True that you are the Daughter of the missing King Dekker of the Goddess Dragons?” Astrid looks to Dekker, who walks to us, and then he takes Astrid’s hand and leads her to the old Lady. When they Get there, Astrid smiles. “It is accurate, and I don't mean any harm. I want what my Father wants, and that is peace” Dekker looks the old lady in the eyes, then he removes his contact lenses, bends down and hugs the old Lady. Her face lights up as Dekker steps back. “Margret, is that you?” The old lady Nod’s “yes, Dekker, it is me. I have been waiting for you to come out of hiding so I can bring our people home. I must say your daughter is stunning, and I have watched her grow up. She will make a fine queen!” when I look around the room, I see that more than half are at their knees in front of Dekker Astrid looks shocked and looks back at me. I nod and walk to her, and take her hand. I feel her relax. Dekker smiles; oh, so you have been hiding here, my people. You may stand” Astrid clears her throat. You can All go back and enjoy the festivities for the evening. The king will be back Home tomorrow, and I will be with him” the people nod, and then I look around the room again, and I see a lot of our people here. I look to my dad, and he smirks. I Lead Astrid to the stage again, and her mother finishes her speech as we were all going to leave the scene. A group from our right start to run at us. I grab Astrid and leave the hall baby, where is your room? Astrid takes my hand and leads me to her room. When we get there, I shut the door and lock it. She chuckles “what was that about?” uh baby they are the people who are not happy about the dragons being here or that you are a dragon! Astrid frowns “how can we fix this?” I chuckle. Dekker and dad are fixing it with your mum; I just had to get you out of the way, and I'm not complaining because no, I have you alone I can do this. I pull her in close and kiss her. She wraps her hands around my neck, and I deepen the kiss. I pick her up, and she wraps her legs around my hips, and I walk us to her bed. Just before I lay her down, I hear a knock at the Door. “Astrid, Max, you have to get out of here now”, I growl. We are busy the door gets banged on this time it's my father MAX get out of here now you know where to go Astrid looks up at me with fear in her Eyes I smirk pack a bag baby we have a dragon castle to visit Astrid jumps up and piles clothes into a bag she throws the balcony door open and I am right behind her just as we shift Astrid’s door is broken open, and a plum fae points at us GET THEM!
