Chapter 59

~Aneth~

Aneth's blood burns with every beat of his heart as he watches Kamari walk out of the Forest. He knew he had felt something from Mael; it itched at his skin, and now it ate at his being. Aneth growls as he turns away from the window, his hands clenching the wood beneath.

"Is it another?" Nye asks, his voice tainted with bitterness, and rightfully so. Another Dragon could fight Aneth for a place in the pride. Aneth would tear him apart, skin him alive, and watch him bleed. "I assume so; Ryuu has better instincts than I thought."

Nye snarls as he looks out the window, watching Ryuu lead Kamari back into the Kingdom. "Have Koa stay; we'll eliminate the pest," Nye says between his teeth. Aneth digs his nails into the wood, eliciting a crack. Kamari wouldn't be drawn into just any Dragon Nye." Aneth can feel his chest aching; he hates it. He had never felt any jealousy, but now it pulsed through him. "I despise this human form."
