CHAPTER 45

I stood there looking at Layla for a long while realizing that she believed that this was also a realm. I knew that she needed to know the truth, I was just dreading having to be the one to tell her the truth. I was about to turn her world upside down.

And she looked so innocent about the whole thing.

“This isn’t a realm.” I say as gently as possible. And she stared at me like I had grown two heads or something.

“What do you mean?” She asked very innocently and confused.

“This is a piece of land that is cloaked by some sort of spell done by a witch or a powerful fae or something. But your ‘ realm’ is still on Earth. It’s not a different realm. He’s just made it look that way.” I explained to Layla. And she stood there looking completely speechless.

“He lied to us. The King has been lying to us?” She asked.

“Yeah. I’m sorry about that. But he has been. Now, where is this castle? I’m going to go and find my mate.” I insisted.

“I can show you the way. But I can’t be seen at the castle. I’m now considered a traitor.” Layla says.

“That’s fine. We can take it from there.” I say.

“Alright. Everyone, stay here. I promise that I will be back as soon as possible.” Layla tells the outcasts.

“Find out about Stefan for me. He lives in the castle. He’s my brother.” A guy said to

“Why is he important?” I asked.

“Because he’s Taylor’s friend. But he was acting like he betrayed her and led the warriors here. I don’t believe that Stefan would do that. Please make sure that he’s alright. And don’t kill him.” The guy says almost pleadingly.

“If he’s hurt Taylor, then I make no promises.” I say turning around and leaving.

Layla took us back into the woods and she saw the number of wolves that were there and stopped for a moment to take it all in.

“You don’t intend on losing, do you?” Layla asked.

“I never intend on losing. Now, about that damn dragon.” I say. And she looked at me smiling.
