Chapter 25 I Want My Ring!

• Mariah was shocked at what she heard. She turned sharply at Alaric but to discover that the man was staring at Jon in surprise. Hold on, could it be? Mariah wondered, but…dragons were said to be a myth, no one had seen one, not even Vertimon the oldest demon alive. So, how could it be? Then she remembered what Alaric had said, he was locked up for ten thousand years, could it be…could he really be? Her eyes were locked on Alaric, details of when they first met flashed in her memory, she could remember how she had pondered on what he was, even Asher was still trying to figure out his identity till date. Then if possible, then could it be, could he really be…one?
• “Go on, answer me, I want to know what I am doing. I want to know if I should be claiming my price as the new family head, answer me!” Jon demanded as he aimed his crossbow at Alaric. “I see,” Jon nodded. “You won’t say anything, you are neither confirming nor denying. Then, I wonder what would happen if we do it this way,” he shifted his crossbow to Mariah, “the shot from this straight to the heart would kill her instantly. Want to know why? Because it’s coated with wolfsbane and Garuda flower, the most dangerous things to wolves. You can ask her if you don’t believe me.”
• Alaric turned to Mariah sharply and he didn’t need to ask, he could see it as clear as day in her beautiful blue eyes that the man didn’t lie. Now, finally understanding the situation, his eyes glowed softly as he turned back to Jon.
