He felt a push in his head before a female voice asked, “Are you really the King of Teals?”
“Aye. Before we had to send the dragons away to keep them alive,”Vaughn answered.
“You should’ve wiped out those mortals,” said a deep, male voice. “Eurwen and Brandr have made it so the humans here willna try the same things.”
Vaughn understood their anger, which had most likely been handed down by past generations. Dragons lived a long time, but only Kings and their mates were immortal. And the only way a Dragon King could be killed was by another Dragon King or Queen. “I’m happy to hear it.”
“Are you here to be our King?”
The young voice shocked him. Vaughn wasn’t sure which of the dragons it was, but he heard the wariness in the tone. “We’veonly recently discovered that you found a home. We’ve been trying to find you. I can no’ begin to describe the ache of missing all of you on Earth. It’s our home.”
“Your home,” said another adult female, her anger palpable. “This is ours.”
With that, the Teals flew off in a different direction. Vaughn watched them, wondering if he should follow. In the end, he decided against it. Hopefully, he’d have time to speak to his dragons again later.
For the moment, his thoughts were on a particular woman he’d believed he would never find.
