Page 8 of Dragon Untamed

Remy spoke up instead with all the excitement of a 3-year-old getting to ride one of their parent’s dragons for the first time. "Inside. All of us inside. There is wayyyy too much going on, and not enough has been explained. Let's go. Spill the tea. Discuss the drama. Unleash all the secrets!"

Kaida laughed as she made her way inside after Remy. She already felt relaxed being around her friends, but this was just the cherry on top. To have this amazing of a support system after losing everything was the last thing she thought she would find on this island.

Maybe I should stop thinking about what I lost and focus on what I have gained. Now, to tell them that I am moving out to live with my new mate and how his insane friends want tokill me… I wonder how this will go…Maybe it won’t be a total shitshow…

"Iwant every single detail you can possibly give," Adrien demanded as she plopped into a chair. Azulia's head feverishly nodded in agreement as she sat on the right-hand side of the couch. Remy was in the middle of the couch with her arms crossed over her chest. Sundrei just looked at her while her body was slightly leaning in on the left-hand side.

With all the focus on her, Kaida felt herself shift uncomfortably from foot to foot. Being the center of attention was not the greatest thing in the world, even when it was a positive thing to be telling her friends about the whirlwind romance that is currently dictating Kaida's life.

"Okay. So... I guess I need to start with being mated. That seemed to trigger the rest of the events."

"I cannot believe you are mated! How the hell did that happen so quickly? That is the most exciting part about all of this!" Azulia exclaimed and looked over to Adrien.

Adrien nodded. "I completely agree. I would have never guessed that you moved on from the prince so fast."

Kaida's heart skipped a beat at the mention of Enzo. No matterwho she was mated to and her soul belonged to, Enzo was still going to carry a small part of her heart with him. She opened her mouth to answer, but Remy cut her off.

"Who are you mated to? I hope to the Gods that it isn't Blaze. That dickhead can go fuck himself," Remy snapped, and Kaida could hear a growl coming from her at Blaze's name.

Kaida opened her mouth again, only for Sundrei to cut her off, "Girls! How about you let her talk?"

Everyone looked at Sundrei with a surprised look on their face. Kaida was happy that she wasn't alone in thinking that the Vampyre never talked. Apparently, Sundrei actually didn't.

"Thank you, Sunny." The words came out of her mouth before Kaida could stop them. She had no idea if Sundrei liked having a nickname. None of the other girls ever called her by a nickname.

Sundrei's eyebrows raised for a moment, and there was a slight frown before she recovered. Kaida gulped and feared that she had upset her. When Sundrei smiled at Kaida, some of her anxiety washed away.

"It's been a while since I’ve heard that name. Thank you, Kaida." Sundrei got up and gave Kaida a hug. "It was bittersweet but lovely to remember after thinking about it. And don't worry, you can call me that."

After she sat down, Kaida looked around and then back at Sundrei, "Did you want to talk about it?"

"No, sweetie. I want to hear from you. We can discuss me another time."

A rush of affection flooded Kaida for Sundrei. The Vampyre truly had a huge heart. Kaida could feel how that nickname brought up memories that Sundrei had pushed to the depths of her mind of which she dared not travel too often. If anything, Sundrei had been through a lot that she dislikes talking about.

I will give her time to talk about whatever she needs.

"Okay. Here I go. There is a lot to explain."

"Bring it!" Azulia and Adrien said in unison.

"Beckett is my mate. He was the only one who had even tried to accept me on this island and help. Well, I guess technically, they were all trying to help me unlock my dragon with all the training they had me do."

"More like trying to kill you," Remy deadpanned.

This one is fiery. I kind of like it,Kaida's dragon announced.

Let's hope we never make that fire burn towards us. I don't want to see what she is capable of.

Really? I do.

"Beckett wasn't trying to kill me."

Remy rolled her eyes, "I wasn't talking specifically about him. I was talking more about the others."

Kaida ignored her and continued, "Well, Beckett claimed me, and I saw our flames. It's the coolest thing, too. I saw my own, and it was so vibrant and purple! I should have taken that as insight that I did have a dragon. If I didn't, I wouldn't see a flame."

Adrien raised her hand, "Uh, sweetie, what do you mean? What flame are you talking about?"
