A/N: I posted five new chapters, 13-17, so make sure you're reading them in order to avoid any confusion

...

Ignoring Draco's constant protests, I went back to my tent. Only when I walked out did I realize I was actually in their tent.

No wonder it was so big.

I quickly did my morning routine and got changed.

----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------

"You sure you want to wear that? We might go through the forest again and your legs won't survive that." Lyla said while I was putting on my sneakers.

She was wearing long pants which were from a similar material like my outfit and a white cropped tank top.

"I'll be fine." I said and got up.

"Your choice I guess." She said, shrugging her shoulders.

We walked out and sure enough all three of the Lombardi brothers were waiting for us in front of the tent.

"Ready?" Blaze asked and then placed his arm around Lyla's shoulders.

We nodded our heads.

"Then let's go!" He said excitedly and started to walk.

Tharion and Draco moved to my sides and both took each of my hands in theirs.

"As much as you look stunning in that, we'll be going through the forest. Maybe you should go and change into something else." Draco said with a grin.

Ignoring his first statement with blushed cheeks, I looked at him.

"I'll be fine." I said stubbornly. "But why are we going through the forest again?" I asked.

"You see..." Draco began with a grin.

"This mountain is actually ours." Tharion continued.

"What?!" I whisper-yelled.

"Mhm... And our lair is right inside of it." Draco said proudly.

"Your what now?" I said in confusion.

"Our lair. We are dragons after all. It's expected of us to have at least one lair." Tharion explained.

"And we're taking you to see it. Once our relationship strengthens a bit more, we'll be living in there." Draco finished with a big smile.

My mouth was probably wide opened.

They expect me to live in some dark cave in the middle of nowhere? No fucking way!

"I know that look and it's not what you think." Draco said with a chuckle.

"Our lair is not a cave." Tharion added with a grin, proving my thoughts wrong.

How did he-

"Then what is it?" I asked, ignoring the fact they were able to read my thoughts.

"You'll see." They said with big smirks.

...

"Are we there yet?" I asked for the ninth time.

Lyla groaned and the three brothers laughed.

"She's worse than you." Blaze said with a chuckle.

"I am not that annoying." Lyla grumbled.

"Yes you are. But Katie surpassed you big time." Draco said with a chuckle.

I glared at him. He in return gave me a goofy grin and then squeezed the life out of me.

"Let go." I mumbled in pain.

"Nope." He said and in the next second I was sitting on his shoulders.

"What the-"

"Much better." He interrupted me. "You couldn've just said your legs are hurting. No need to be stubborn, you know?" He added playfully.

I blushed within seconds.

How did he know?

The moment we walked into the forest, every two steps something would scratch my legs. But I refused to admit it because then they would be right about my outfit. I mean, they were already right, but I didn't want to admit it to them, so I stubbornly continued to walk and tried as hard as I could to not hiss every time something scratched me. But I guess Draco saw right through me.

"We'll have to get some ointment for these scratches." Tharion said and gently traced my legs.

"Or we could just lick them." Draco suggested.

My eyes widened.

"I'm sorry, what? Lick?!" I asked in surprise.

"Since we're mates, our saliva has healing powers. But it only works between mates." Tharion explained.

"Ew, gross. Don't expect me to ever lick you." I said in disgust.

"Oh don't worry. You will be licking. Just not our wounds." Draco said with a smirk making me blush a deep shade of red.

"You-"

And in the next second, a small, but thick branch was flying his way. Luckily, Tharion caught it seconds before it hit Draco's face.

"Keep it in your pants perv." Lyla said in annoyance.

All three brothers roared in laughter. I looked down and hid my face with my hair.

Can the ground just open up and swallow me?

...

We stopped walking and I looked around.

"Are we-"

"Yes! For the love of God! Yes! We're here!" Lyla yelled in frustration.

I grinned from ear to ear and started to jump giddily.

"Woah, woah. Calm down. Let me put you down first." Draco said with a chuckle.

I completely forgot I was still on his shoulders. And of course, now I'm blushing like a madman.

"Sorry." I mumbled shyly.

He put me down and I started to look around again.

"So... Where is that lair?" I asked curiously.

"Right this way." Draco said and ushered me in front of a big bush.

"Uhh... What am I supposed to-"

Tharion and Blaze grabbed the bush and moved it to the side. A big brown door greeted us. My eyes widened.

"Woah..." I whispered in disbelief.

Blaze knocked slowly four times and the door opened. A young girl was right behind it. Once she saw us, she smiled from ear to ear.

"Welcome home Your Majesties." She greeted us and bowed.

I looked at Tharion and Draco in shock and confusion. But they just smirked at me and slowly led me inside.

"Oh my God..." I mumbled in astonishment.

----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------

This is the most beautiful hallway I have ever seen...

There were a few people walking around in hurry and every time they passed by us, they'd bow their heads and greet us.

I, on the other hand, probably looked like a mind-blown kid or something with my widened eyes and opened mouth.

"You live here?!" I screeched lowly.

"Yup." Draco said with a smirk.

"Well, we'll leave you to your sightseeing. We have some... business to attend to." Blaze said playfully.

And then he threw Lyla over his shoulder and headed somewhere.

"Blaze!" Lyla squealed and started to hit his back.

"Lucky bastard." Draco mumbled.

"Come on. Let's go to our room." Tharion said and intertwined our hands.

"W-what?" I said in embarrassment.

"We have to change Katie. This is a dragon lair. We can't walk around in these clothes. It's inappropriate." Draco explained.

"Why?" I asked as they led me somewhere.

"We have our own clothing that we wear around here." Tharion answered.

And then I remembered seeing those people in the hallway in some weird clothes.

"We have to wear those clothes?" I asked and discreetly pointed at a woman that just passed by us.

"Oh no. That kind of clothing is worn by our personnel." Draco said.

"We wear a different kind of clothing." Tharion said.

"What kind?" I asked.

"The royal kind." Draco said with a smirk.

My brows creased and I looked at him in confusion.

"We're kings Katie. Owners of this lair and leaders to the horde of dragons who live here." Tharion said with a proud and powerful voice.

I halted, making them stop too.

"What?!" I screeched.

They just grinned at me proudly. I continued to stare at them in disbelief.

They're kings?!

"Come on. We're here." Draco said and gently pulled me with him.

And now we were face to face with a black and gold double door.

I have a feeling my jaw will be on the ground very soon. Again.

"This is our room." Tharion said.

Then they opened the door and I was yet again flabbergasted.

...

And, I don't know if I said this in the previous note, but

for now, but I hope I'll be able to go back to my previous posting schedule soon.

That's it for now!
