The Dragon King
Chapter 19 ~ Put It On My Tab

Draco’s POV ~

It was a little over an hour before I heard a knock at the door. I opened it with a finger to my lips. I whispered to Naomi that Aurora was napping. I man hugged Caleb and shook the hands of the others.

I poured the four of us guys a Jameson.. a large one for Anderson.. offering one to Allison, to which she screwed her nose up at me. A thoroughly unpleasant woman! I see where Amelia gets it.

Aurora and Naomi joined us, and Aurora climbed into my lap. I whispered “Did the meds help your migraine?” She shook her head no.. and snuggled into me.

Caleb asked “She still gets those? She used to get them so bad sometimes when she was little, I would rock her to sleep.” I nodded and said “We believe them to be stress related and today was a cornucopia of stress for her.”

Allison said “Why do you lie, Caleb? She never had a sick day in her life! I would know!” Caleb snarled at her and said “How the fuck would you know!? Your head was so far up Amelia’s ass you wouldn’t have known if Aurora was dying!”

Aurora said “Caleb! Don’t argue. That was the past. There is no changing some things. Just be an Elsa.” He laughed and sang “Let it go.. Let IT go..” she nodded at him. Then she looked at Anderson and spoke softly “I want to tell you I really am sorry! No one deserves what’s happening.” My girl! A heart as pure as the driven snow!

I said “I have gotten the room code for the keypad on Amelia’s door. If you’d like, we can head over there now. I’m sorry, Anderson.. but surely, you had to have known the type of person you mated! A tiger doesn’t change their stripes!” He nodded, looking miserable.

Allison said “What are you talking about? Amelia has always done her best to be a good girl! She is loving! Compassionate! You do Not know my daughter.” And Draco lost his temper. He snapped “Hold your tongue, you infernal woman! You know NOTHING of the woman you praise so highly! I imagine she is how she is as a direct result of what you’ve taught her! Which makes you as bad as she is. Utter one more word out of that mouth.. One. More. Word and I will shut it for you!”

We all walked quietly.. thank Goddess.. down the corridor to Amelia’s suite. I punched in the five digit code, and pushed the door open. Stepping into the apartment, we could hear the sounds of what we knew was happening. I slowly pushed the bedroom door opened, and once we were all inside, I hit the light switch.

As naked as the day she was born.. the little skank was perched upon some guy’s one eyed Pete.. going to town. Her mother was the first to say anything.. of course.. “Amelia! Get clothes on! What are you doing!?” And Caleb snickered “She’s riding the baloney pony.. good Goddess Allison! Are you so old you’ve forgotten.?” She swung to slap him and Naomi grabbed her wrist… shaking her head no.

Anderson walked out and sat down at the table. He hadn’t spoken a word since they arrived.. I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes.. But, he needed to know. Where he goes from here, is strictly his call. Caleb walked over to him and said “Whatever you decide, buddy.. I got your back!”

Chancey and Allison sat on the sofa.. while Naomi and Aurora stood by the front door. I leaned against the kitchen counter. The man came out of the room and walked past all of us.. with his head down.. straight out the front door.

Amelia was taking her time.. and I knew she was trying to think of a way to lie her way around this mess she’s created. When she emerged, it was shrieking.. walking straight to Aurora “You fucking bitch! You had to call MY mate and tattle didn’t you! You backstabbing pathetic.. “ and Aurora throat punched her… snarling “Enough! You pitiful excuse of a woman! You had a good man! You ruined him! I bet if I checked your handbag, I would replace his balls! Nothing you have is ever good enough! You are a curse! Everything and everyone around you pays a price! You destroy everything you touch, you malicious, sickening piece of shit! Get off the floor.. and beg! Beg like you never have before.. and pray! Goddess knows you need religion! Pray your mate replaces a way to forgive you.. because Goddess knows, he should throw you out, like the trash you are!”

She whirled on Naomi and said “Come on, sister! I need a fucking drink!” And walked out. Me? Well, I’m stood here so full of pride I can barely stand still. But, note to self.. never piss my Luna off.

Anderson said “I want to hear your reasons. When you speak, do so without raising your voice.. if you do, I will slap you. Do not blame anyone else, I will slap you.. Do not make pitiful excuses or lie.. if you do, I will slap you! Now, sit your ass down! Caleb, will you pour me a drink?”

I gotta hand it to him.. he seems calm. Not sure I would be.. but to each his own. Caleb poured everyone a drink.. even Allison this time. Amelia sat down at the table..across from Anderson.

She started to say “Andy, it was just once.. it was an accident.. I didn’t mean it.” *SLAP* He asked “what did I just say? It was not just once.. this is not the first time.. and it is not possible to fuck on accident, dumbass.”

She snarled “Fine! You don’t have sex with me! What!? Once a week? That’s not enough! How is that enough!? You sent me to this stupid place to learn stupid shit I already know! It’s boring!”

Anderson grinned “You already know? I don’t think you do. You don’t know how to nurture the pack.. how to be compassionate.. to offer comfort. What you DO know.. is how to bully.. throw tantrums.. and spend money we don’t have.. on shit you don’t need.. because Goddess knows, if Amelia doesn’t have the tightest.. brightest.. shortest.. sheerest dress known to man.. or the highest heels in every color WITH matching handbags then everybody in the pack pays for it! By you belittling them.. insulting them.. punishing them.. and bullying them! So, start explaining yourself before I do decide to reject and banish you!”

She whimpered “Momma.. make it stop! You and Daddy know I’m not like that. Please.. make him listen like you used to!” Chancey said “All I feel in this moment, Amelia.. is shame. This was an eye opener for me. I have been blind.. listening to you and your mother cost me my other two children… and all I feel is shame in myself for allowing it to happen!”

Allison snaps “Chancey! You can’t turn on your daughter now! Not when she needs us most!” He said “Shut up, Allison! She’s proven time and again she needs no one! She just wants.. she wanted her sister’s mate… so she set out to get him! When she thought her sister was with her true mate.. she decided she wanted him.. the only four people who saw through her bullshit were Bridget, our son and daughter.. and her true mate! We have raised her to be the monster she is and I am ashamed of that… and of her!”

He stood up and asked me if there was a bar in this place.. he felt a good drunk coming on. So, I told him where to go..and put it on my tab.
