    Chapter 207: Confessions of Ss


    Ss.


    What the hell was I thinking?!


    The moment I entered the small cottage and saw Finn pleasing Cassie, I was ovee with the urge


    to watch her passion unfold. I didn''t want to turn away and even mustered the courage to be able to


    help participate.


    The way her body gave in to him, and the way she so willingly pleased him while I guided her head


    allowing her to only have what I wanted her to have… it made my c**k harder than it had ever been


    before.


    Of course, I was a dragon and it was typical for creatures like me to end up taking multiple mates but


    there was no way in hell that Cassie was my mate. There was no way in hell that any of this was f*****g


    possible. Yet, when she came and he filled her, it took everything in me not to im her myself and mix


    my seed with his to ensure she carried a child.


    It took everything in me to also make sure he knew she was mine, and only got her when I said he


    could have her. Dragons were possessive creatures, and it was only because of her I let him taste her


    to begin with.


    Anger boiled through me as I stormed out of the cottage and out into the evening air. My hand ran


    through my hair as I tried to calm the raging inferno inside me. Never had I been denied anything, and


    yet I denied myself the pleasure of Cassie.


    I let another man take what was rightfully mine.


    Thrashing out, my fist connected with a nearby tree and the splintering of wood echoed through the


    forest near the cottage. I promised Pollux I was going to control my anger, and that I wouldn''t shift here


    because of the humans that lived nearby, but at this moment I was finding it difficult for me to keep the


    promise I made.


    “Ss!" The sound of Finn''s voice was thest thing that I wanted to hear. However, I expected it after


    everything that just happened.


    “Leave me alone," I snapped, refusing to look at him. “Go back to Cassie''s side where you belong."


    Laughter escaped Finn, causing me to spin around in anger as I spotted him standing outside the


    closed door of the cottage with his arms crossed over his chest and a smug expression on his face as if


    what had happened was everything he had ever wanted. “Why are you acting like this, Ss? We


    talked about her before."


    He wasn''t wrong on that front. Not long after we had arrived here and she was spending time with her


    mother, Finn pulled me aside and exined to me why he had wanted to bring her here. That he was


    looking to get close to her because she was the one he was fated to, and he needed her to realize that.


    That she needed to realize she was his queen.


    The thought now irritated me. I didn''t want them to be together, but then at the same time, part of me


    did. The conflict weighed heavily on my soul and thought I was trying my hardest to be supportive. It


    was a challenge. “I''m not acting like anything."


    “Ohe on, anyone around can see that you''re pissed. So, why don''t you just tell me what is wrong


    so that we can move past this, and I can go back in there to my woman."


    “Your woman?" Clenching my fists at my side, I narrowed my gaze further and sneered, “You think


    sleeping with her like you just did makes her yours? That is an amusing assumption."


    “Jealousy isn''t bing of you, Ss, Prince of Draconia."


    Shock filled me hearing him call me by a title no one should have known. Draconia was a name I hadn''t


    heard in hundreds of years and the fact that Finn knew that bit of information put me on alert. I had


    been through a lot of things in my time, and hiding away from the title I once held was something I


    didn''t want to go through again.


    “How do you know that name?" I snapped, taking a step towards him, “no one knows that name."


    Finn didn''t even flinch nor did he seem surprised by the fact I was irate he had known my true title.


    Instead, he stood there staring at me as he was before but with a brow raised and amusement lingering


    in his eyes. “It''s my job to know things, Ss. Did you really think when you came to my kingdom I


    wouldn''t find out who you really were? Odin may have thought he was smart sending you as an


    ambassador, but it wasn''t."


    “What do you mean?"


    He scoffed, letting out a heavy breath as he shook his head. “Fae know everything. Plus, I have


    contacts that do their job very well at keeping me informed."


    Again, the irritation in me grew. He had purposely sought out to know who I was, but I wasn''t sure why


    he would go to such lengths. “What reason would you have to know who I was?"


    “The scent and aura of my fate lingered over you and intertwined with your soul. I guess in simpler


    terms, I was checking out mypetition. Though that is irrelevant now that I am quite aware of how


    this situation will y out."


    Standing there absolutely dumbfounded by what he was saying, I tried to understand how he would


    even know something like that. He was Fae yes, and I knew that their people had powers that theThis is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    majority of realms couldn''t even begin toprehend, but for him to know about my interactions with


    Cassie shouldn''t have been possible.


    “You seem speechless," Finn replied after the silence that filled the space between us. “Look, I know


    that you''re not pleased by everything going on, but it isn''t about you. We all care for her. Even Lucas,


    no matter how he tries to act like he isn''t deserving."


    “Yeah, because he f*****g killed her once," I scoffed in a bitter tone that made Finn''s lips turn into a


    smirk once more as he raised a brow in my direction.


    “Bitterness isn''t a quality a dragon such as yourself should have. Everyone makes mistakes, Ss. At


    the end of the day, it''s not about what we do or who we were. It''s about what we are willing to do now


    to correct ourselves and be who we are meant to be."


    I should have known that Finn would end uping at me with this kind of conversation. The Fae were


    known to be wise as they were known to be mischievous. Their whole lives revolved around


    knowledge, which made sense as to how he knew about me.


    “It''s not easy to trust someone whomitted a crime like he did," I finally replied, watching Finn step


    forward. His look of amusement shifted into one that reminded me of a scornful parent.


    “Yet, Anna forgave you in the end, didn''t she? After all, you were the main reason her mate had been


    killed—"


    “That was not the same!" I bellowed as rage filled me and the fires of my anger bubbled to the surface.


    “How dare you speak on something you know nothing about!"


    I had expected Finn to back down. To take back what he said. Instead, a dark force seemed to cloud


    his eyes as ck lines slowly crept over his face and the celestial blue of his eyes burned like a blue


    me.


    The evil side of Fae, full of rage and yet stillposed, ready to strike.


    I feared this side of him. Though I would never admit it.


    “Do not deny it, Ss. I know the truth about what happened, and I agree with the choices you made.


    Bjorn was out of control and would have condemned the human realm to chaos had he not been


    stopped. If Odin was able to forgive you as Anna did, then you need to be able to forgive Lucas. You


    are mated to Cassie, and though you deny it now, you can''t for long."


    Gritting my teeth, I continued to sneer as I shook my head. “I am not the man she needs to be with. I


    can do nothing to make her happy. All I will do in the end is bring her pain."


    “Fate!" Finn snapped, “has made up its mind already, Ss. You must fulfill the destiny and stand at her


    side as Lucas and I must do. This is the reason that Anna hase back. She and Cassie are one,


    and in order for Cassie to fulfill her destiny, this is what must happen."


    “Don''t say that," I replied breathlessly. The thought that what he was saying about Anna and Cassie


    being true was too much for me to handle. Granted, I had considered it so many times before, I just


    didn''t want to ept it.


    I had loved Anna with a passion so fierce it broke me when she was gone. I had wanted her to be


    mine, and though rejection was the only fate I had obtained in regards to Anna, it didn''t stop me from


    loving her.


    Cassie reminded me so much of Anna. The same fierce determination flowed through Cassie that I had


    seen so many times in Anna''s eyes and with it, it constantly brought me back to memories I had tried to


    bury away for a hundred years.


    “It''s time to stop ying games, Ss. She needs you and with us working together, she will finally be


    able to be the person that she is meant to be."


    Lashing out at him was pointless when I knew that he was right.


    Letting out a heavy breath, I ran my hand through my hair and over my face trying to collect my


    thoughts as to what I was going to do. I couldn''t deny helping Cassie, when not only was she my


    charge, but the woman I felt bonded to. The ce we were in, her home, was full of negative energy


    and perhaps that was why fate had ensured we came back.


    Not just because Finn had wanted to, but because we weren''t meant to.


    “Fine," I replied firmly. “I''m not going to say that I believe in fate or anything else because I don''t. Fate


    has done nothing but bring me pain over the years."


    “Hey… you''re making a step in the right direction," Finn replied cheerfully, making me scrunch my nose


    in disgust at how quickly he went from irritated to bright and chipper in no time.


    “Don''t start that s**t. I''m not agreeing to the mate s**t with Cassie and don''t you dare tell her who I am."


    Holding his hands up, Finnughed nodding his head. “Okay, okay. I won''t tell her, but we do need to


    help her. This ce is all wrong, and I trust in the visions she is having…"


    Rolling my eyes I groaned. “Don''t call them that."


    “Don''t call them what?"


    “Visions, Finn. Don''t—you know what, never mind." I sighed as I slowly began to walk back and forth.


    “Look, I went out and looked around the area. There is definitely a negative force, but it isn''t celestial.


    There is a witch in the area, and I have a feeling she is what is messing with Pollux."


    Quiet for a moment Finn seemed to contemte what I was saying as he looked off towards the main


    house and then back towards the cottage. “We need to tell Cassie. Perhaps this girl that she mentioned


    before has something to do with it. I mean it would make sense. Bitter ex-girlfriend happens to be part


    witch looking to take revenge. It''s kind of cliché but women tend to beplicated creatures."


    “Fine, let''s talk to her," I muttered as I made my way past him only to have him stop me before I


    reached the door with an arm slung over my shoulder.


    “Whoa, let''s not do it right now. It can wait till morning, Ss. No point in ruining an amazing evening."


    Finn chuckled, causing me to shrug off his arm and turn to him with a re.


    “Touch me again, and I''ll break your arm."


    Laughter echoed from behind me as I made my way back into the cottage. Finn found this all amusing,


    and though I wanted to burn him alive because he annoyed me more than anything, it wasn''t an option.


    Cassie liked Finn, and there was no way I''d be able to do anything to make her unhappy. Even if I


    wanted to… my heart wouldn''t allow it.


    Cassie had me wrapped around her finger, and she didn''t even know it.
