The Rejected Phoenix novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44.

Subtitle : his pregnant Luna.

*** Melanie's  POV***

I was damn tired of flying but had to keep up with the others.

It was the longest wing flight I've ever subjected myself to and the tiredness I felt was unspeakable.

"just because your tired doesn't make you weak phoenix..  Be fast, the four legged creatures are even faster than us! "

I heard the dragon mind linked me and I scoffed and looked ahead of me.

"how did you get into my head? "

I snapped and he chuckled through my mind again, I groaned and looked beneath me.

Ryker  and lulu were no longer near me,they were a long way ahead of me, I seem to be the last person trialing behind.

As I looked forward to concentrate on flying i couldn't see the dragon anymore.

He had left me behind, I heard a loud screech from ahead of me and I knew if was from him.

A few more kilometres and we will be back to the pack house.

I can then go back to my desert and have a little bit of rest with Latisha and my mom.

I gathered the little strength I had left and started flying at a quick pace, I soared high up and then started to flap my wing freely as I move ahead.

I soon caught up with the dragon who smirked at me and led ahead.

His eyes started to stare below and he slowed down which almost made me collide into him, I slowed down too and looked down also in confusion.

The whole land beneath me was burnt, there was smoke everywhere and the ground was covered in ashes.

I flew down along with the dragon and landed softly on the ground that was least burnt.

Lulu and the alpha king where both standing on the floor and had already shifted back to their human form.

I also shifted and stood besides Ryker who had a cold look on.

"whatever happened to this place? "

I asked him but he kept quiet,examinig the whole area.

"I can smell the dark magic, the witches did this...  How far have they gone with this assault of theirs?"

I heard the dragon asked besides me and Ryker growled at him and turned to face him with a deadly look on.

If looks could kill then the dragon would have being five feets below the earth due to the glare and growl he recieved.

"the witches?  Are you sure it was not you but the witches?

They were using you to destroy things and people around and you couldn't even control yourself, you just follow their orders and destroy lives and properties and now you are here to tell me shits about the witches being the ones who did this? "

Ryker scoffed and the dragon chuckled.

"seriously kiddo?  I'm a ice dragon not a fire breathing dragon! Of course I can use the fire magic sometimes but I don't use it, and I may be bewitched when I caused harm but it wasn't me who burn up this place, I still have a good memory okay.

Learn how to control your anger and not try to rid it on someone else or I'll kill you! "

The dragon snapped, he was also as angry as f*ck.

Ryker ruffled his hair and walked away.

"how many more kilometres till we're back at the pack house? "

I asked and tried to keep up with him.

"you must be tired,just twenty more kilometres.

I hope all this ends sooner. "

He sighed and held my hands as we walked ahead.

"Melanie! "

I heard a familiar voice squeaked in my head and I looked around trying to figure out where she is.

"Latisha!  Where are you? "

I asked and looked around in shock and surprise.

How did she find me here?

"up here! "

She muttered and flee right towards me, Landing softly on my shoulders.

"Latisha! "

I shouted with joy and robbed her hair, placing soft kisses over her smooth head.

"I've missed you so much!  How did you find me here? "

I asked her.

"is that your firebird?"

Lulu asked as she ran up to me taking a look at Latisha.

I nodded at her.

"mother was worried sick about you and wouldn't eat for days, she made me go on a long tour to look for you within the packs everyday, hoping that you'll return home, safe and sound.

I'm so glad your back, but damn, you've lost a lot of weight! "

Latisha said and I chuckled and rubbed her hair.

"I'm sorry for leaving without informing  the both of you, I hope mother isn't that sick?

Have you been lonely? "

I asked her and she answered with a yes.

I was too engrossed taking to her.

"Charlie have been keeping me company  so I didn't miss you much.

But I'm still glad your back! "

She said.

I faked being hurt as she told me she didn't miss me cause Charlie has being keeping her company.

"Latisha..  How are things back in the pack?  Is there any damage done in my pack or any other?"
