His Hope, Her king, Their Royal Hybrid Mates (Book 3)

Chapter Nine ~ Another Day at WRA!

            “Dad, what’s hotter than a wolf?” I asked my father.

            “Honestly son, there is only one species that I know of that is hotter than a wolf and they have been extinct for almost a century. That’s Fire Breathers or more commonly known as Dragons. But I don’t think…” Dad said then paused and looked at mom.

            “No, I don’t think either. One would have had to been in hibernation for almost a century then returned to its human form to mate with another species in her human form.”  Mom said looking back at my dad.

            “Is that even possible?” Angel asked with wide eyes.

            “When it comes to supernatural’s, everything is possible and until we figure this out, I want you to stay away from this kid. There isn’t a male species more protective and possessive of their mates than a fire breather. They are even more protective and possessive than wolves and they will stop at nothing to get what they say is theirs. Also, fire breathers can sense the soul of their mate when they are just three human years old. They are full grown at transformation and transformation for them is opposite than transformation for any other species. They are born in their dragon form and at three years old they shift into their human form. They can live for decades in their human form and are only required to shift twice a millennium for hibernation which is generally half a decade of sleep. If you are his mate, baby girl, he knows it already. Especially if he is already a teenager in human form.” Dad said looking at Angel then at me.

            “Okay.” Angel said with slight fear in her eyes.

            “There is nothing to be afraid of sweetheart, he will never hurt you. Dad is just concerned about the ways at which he may fight to get you.” Mom said and a small smile formed on Angel’s face.

            “I will be honest mom and dad, if this boy is a fire breather, I doubt he even knows it. Is that possible?” Amir asked with a slight smile.

            “Actually, it is, if he wasn’t raised by his biological parents then he would not have been told of that lineage and he won’t find out until his first human to fire breather shift which would happen sometime between his sixteenth and twenty first birthday. The first hibernation last, about a year, and it is forced upon the host.” Dad said and I looked at him with surprise.

            “What?” I asked and mom looked at me with soft eyes.

            “Just like a wolf could go eighteen years in human form never knowing it is a wolf, like I did. When a wolf turns eighteen it doesn’t ask permission to invade your body, it awakens and take over and on the first full moon after it’s awakening it shifts to its form, whether you give it permission to or not. A fire breather is very similar except, it is born in its dominant form and without permission shifts to its human form until it needs rest and rest happens whether its host or human gives permission or not. When it is ready to rest it shifts and almost instantly goes to sleep. There is no fighting it just like we can’t fight it either. For centuries it has been said that is why a human, werewolf, fire breather hybrid species could be created. They are called tri-hybrids.” Mom said looking at each of us.

            “I need to research this more; I’m a little uncomfortable knowing Angel is at WRA by herself, and her mate could be there also but to think he may not know what is drawing him to her is a little scary. Angel, I’m going to school with you tomorrow and you are going to introduce me to this kid. I need to find out what he knows about himself and even more of what he knows about you.” Cyir said and looked at me and I nodded in agreement that I would come with him.

            “Yeah, I’m coming back to WRA tomorrow also. Meanwhile, I’m going to find out what Christian knows about this kid.” I said looking at Angel and she nodded her head.

            After we were done talking, I went to my suite and sent a request to Christian to send me a video chat link when he was within satellite range. An hour later his link came through and I linked Cy to come to my makeshift office in my suite. When he arrived, I clicked the link and a few seconds later Christian appeared on my MacBook screen.

            “Hey Bro’s, what’s going on?” Christian asked as soon as there was a clear picture of me and Cyir on the screen.

            “Christian, what do you know about a boy at WRA named Dexter King?” I asked him and his eyes went wide.

            “What did he do? Did something happen to him? Did he do something to Angel?” Christian asked in a panic, and I quickly calmed him down.

            “Nothing that I know of, no, and not yet. The girls all met him today and he introduced himself to them and told them he knew you from when you were at WRA. He thinks of you as a friend and took your warning that Angel is off limits. However, what species is he? Has he ever told you that he is supernatural?” I said quickly and Christian visibly relaxed and exhaled deeply.

            “No, but I sense it the first day we had class together. I didn’t sense a known supernatural spirit in him though. He was a bit off, and I was only thirteen. What kind of supernatural is he?” Christian asked with a sigh.

            “We are not sure, but we do know he is a hybrid wolf and some other species. The girls say he has a protective nature towards Angel, and it appears he may have a crush.” I said looking at him intensely on the screen.

            “Crush definitely, do you remember when I came to Silver Moon with Cyir just before his Alpha wedding ceremonies, and I mentioned a guy asking about Angel and I told him she was off limits? Dexter King is that guy. He has had a crush on Angel ever since he first laid eyes on her. Could he be her…?” Christian asked

            “Mate? It’s possibly and that is what dad believes. Dad and mom also thinks he may be a fire breather.” I said and Christian eyes went wide.

            “As in a Dragon? I thought they were all extinct.” Christian said and I nodded.

            “Yes, a dragon and according to mom. His parent may have been in hibernation giving the illusion that fire breathers are extinct.” I said and looked at him.

            “What can you tell us about him Christian?” Cyir asked and Christian took a deep breath.

            “Only that he was adopted, by a King who was his father’s best friend, when he was around four or five years old and that he doesn’t know much of anything about his parents except that they are both dead. He’s very smart, loyal, and was a very dependable friend. I helped him in our data analytics class at WRA. His adopted sister is Princess Adaline, she’s a real hopeless case and evil as they come. He told me back then, he was only passing his time but as soon as he turns eighteen, he was leaving to go build his life somewhere else away from his adopted family. He’s sixteen months older than me.” Christian said looking at me sincerely.

            Cyir and I talked to Christian for another thirty minutes before ending the video call and joining the family for dinner. Dinner was a little quieter than usual, I think it is because we were all processing the information we received today. After dinner, I spent a little time with my wife and son at the family fun center on the Palace grounds and when we were all good and tired, I tucked Caelan in bed and ended the night loving a little on my wife until we both fell asleep.

            The next morning, I woke up and was dressed before it was time for everybody to get up for breakfast. I needed to think about how to approach this kid without possibly scaring him and making things awkward for Angel. When I got to breakfast Cyir and Angel were both there waiting a few minutes later the rest of the family showed up and breakfast was served. After we finished breakfast, Angel, Cyir, and I, all took a car to WRA.

            “Mr. Parks, it’s nice to see you again.” Giselle Temple, the headmistress of WRA said as Angel, Cyir, and I walked into her office.

            “Mrs. Temple, it’s nice to see you again also. This is my brother Cyir Parks and today we will both be visiting as speculators of Angel’s lectures. Can you give us both a day pass?” I said to her with a smile, and she smiled back.

            “Of course, no problem. Mr. Parks it’s nice to meet you. Let me get your passes.” Giselle said and walked into the main office to request our passes.

            When Giselle returned, she handed us our passes and requested that I stopped back by the office before Cyir and I left today and I agreed before we all left going to Angel’s first lecture. Unlike my first visit, this time I kept all my senses open so I could actually sense something unusual, and my senses went crazy when I walked into Angel’s first lecture today and apparently Cyir’s senses were going crazy also.

            ‘Can you smell that? Do you sense that?’ Cyir asked me through mind link.

            ‘Yes, but I can’t pinpoint it.’ I said looking around the room at the students which ninety-nine percent of them were full pure humans but when I turned around to look at the door, there stood a boy with long black silky hair and honey color eyes. There was a warmth radiating off of him and you could tell he didn’t know the wiser.

            ‘I think our senses are going crazy because of that kid.’ I said to Cyir and nodded my head towards the door.

            My suspicions were confirmed when I heard Angel finally speak to the boy.

            “I didn’t know we had this lecture together.” Angel said looking at the boy and he smiled a small smile at her.

            “Yeah, you always get here before me and sit up front. I’m usually the first one out when lecture ends. We have last lecture the same as well.” The boy said shyly.

            “Oh, well it’s nice to see you again Dexter.” Angel said then walked to the front of the class and took her seat. Cyir and I sat in the back behind the kid name Dexter.

            After the lecture, Dexter was out the door before the professor could say have a great day, but when we all walked out the room, he was standing outside the door waiting along with Angel’s friend Hope.

            “Umm Angel, I was wondering if I could walk you to your second lecture.” Dexter asked Angel shyly and she looked at me with pleading eyes.

            “I… umm… I don’t think that would be necessary because my brothers Christopher and Cyir are observing today and are walking me.” Angel said softly but avoiding eye contact with any of us.

            “Nice seeing you again Christopher and it’s a pleasure to meet you Cyir. Angel, I came to tell you I’m leaving school early today, just before quad period. I didn’t want you looking for me and thinking the worse. I have family coming into town today and my mom said I should only do a half day to properly meet them when they arrive.” Hope said with a small smile.

            “Yes, it is nice seeing you again Hope and Angel it’s okay we would like to meet all your friends. Why don’t you introduce us to your friend?” I said with a smile and Angel’s eyes softened at me.

            “Hope, it’s nice to meet you. I have heard a lot about you.” Cyir said with a smile at Hope.

            “Well, you both know Hope already, so that leaves Dexter. Dexter King, these are my older brothers, Christopher and Cyir Parks, Bro’s this is a new friend actually Dexter King. We met yesterday.” Angel said with a small smile.

            “It’s nice to meet you, Dexter.” I said reaching my hand out for a handshake and he shook my hand. His handshake was warm and the heat radiating off him felt like it was two hundred degrees.

            “Yes, it’s nice to meet you, Dexter.” Cyir said shaking his hand also.  

            “Nice to meet you fellas also. Angel all your siblings look so much alike. Your brothers could all pass for triplets because the way I remember Christian he looks just like these two.” Dexter said with a smile.

            “Yeah, we get that a lot. Wait until you meet our parents. We all look like a mixture of the two of them. Not that I’m planning on you meeting them, but they definitely spit all five of us out.” Angel said with a chuckle and a small blush formed on Dexter’s face.

                We stood talking for a few more minutes, until we all walked towards Hope class first dropping her off then towards Angel’s second lecture. After Angel’s second and third lecture, she had quad period which she led us to the library stacks so we could possibly speak with Dexter in private. When we got there, he was there as she expected.

            “Umm Dexter, is it possible, my brother’s and I can speak with you?” Angel asked him as we walked in, and he turned to face us.

            “Sure, what’s up?” He asked with a small smile.

            “Well, we were wondering, what you are? And if you know what we are?” I asked him point blank.

            “I know I’m different, but I can’t say I know what I am. I know Angel is different, but I have no idea what she is or you guys or even Christian is. I could sense he wasn’t like the others that’s all.” Dexter said sincerely.

            We talked with Dexter for the rest of quad period, but we were going to need Another Day at WRA to get to the bottom of this.
