217-The Stolen Treasures.
Author's POV:
Years Ago:
"May you have an amazing stay here,' Elex bowed in respect before the weredragon King and Queen after helping them settle in the hotel Moritar.
"You are Elex Garcia?' the gorgeous blond weredragon queen asked him. She had heart-shaped lips and sparkling blue eyes. Her voluptuous body was to die for. Nobody could guess she had given birth. "Yes, Lady Melanie Dismay,' Elex responded with another bow.
"May I ask something?' she mumbled, gently playing with the crib near her.
"Anything," Elex felt like he had never seen someone so gorgeous before.
"Did you really see our dragon grandpa attacking hikers?" she asked, as this was the reason she had to travel here with her Weredragon King and all the members of their Lair.
I-did," feeling guilty for lying, Elex continued with the story.
She only stared at him for a few minutes before letting him go.
Elex rushed out of the hotel and then called Lord Vasquez to inform him about the arrival of the weredragons in the hotel.
"They are here,' he whispered, briskly walking away from the hotel and panting.
"Good! But what happened to you? Why are you wheezing?' Lord Vasquez noticed something weird about Elex. He sounded like he was having trouble breathing.
It's Lady Melanie Dismay," Elex responded.
"I hope you didn't look too much into her eyes,' Lord Vasquez sighed.
"Why? I mean, I did, but she is in her human form so-," Before Elex could finish, Lord Vasquez interrupted him.
"It doesn't matter. These freaking weredragons are stronger even when they are in their human form. Especially if they are weredragon King or queen!" He explained to Elex why he shouldn't interact with these two. "HI stay away from her then," Elex nodded to himself, still standing under the hotel but a little far away now.
He could see the image of the king and the queen in the window, playing with their children.
"Remember Elex! We have to get it done," Lord Vasquez reminded him. TH call a meeting in an hour, and when they leave, you get into the room and grab the twins." Lord Vasquez started explaining the big theft of their lives to Elex once again.
"What about the guards and the babysitter?" Elex inquired nervously. He had seen some babysitters in the room. How in hell was he going to get past those two?
"Don't worry about them. I sent you there so that they could get used to someone checking on them every few hours. I have already prepared something forthat. The bedroom we gave them is a honeymoon suite, but I have personally added a secret door to it. My people will distract them for a few minutes, and in those few minutes, you will sneak in and get it done," Lord Vasquez said, watching Lady Sofia hold their little baby in her arms and rock him anxiously.
She feared he would die anytime now.
"Alright!" Elex reluctantly nodded, and soon he was left alone to perform this heinous act.
He wasn't sure if he would ever be able to get out from under the burden of this crime, but he knew he had to do it.
His kids were sick at home. He needed the money and care that Lord Vasquez had promised him in return for this theft.
After exactly an hour, Elex sneaked into the backrooms and then through the secret door into the bedroom where the crib was. The babysitters had to go to the door and fill out a form when Lord Vasquez's warrior appeared and asked them to introduce themselves in writing.
The babysitters weren't too worried since the dragon babies usually wouldn't wake up past their bedtimes.
Elex did the deed and then hid in the secret room, making his way out of the hotel and sprinting into the car he had parked near the woods.
He was breathing profusely and sweating in the winter.
He knew somewhere in his heart that what he did was wrong, but life itself is a game of survival of the fittest. He had to do whatever he could for the sake of his babies.
After rushing away from the scene, he did receive alerts that the babysitters hadn't found out about the missing treasures yet. They were in the living room, not wanting to disturb the treasures in the room, who they thought might be sleeping.
Elex went straight to the home he had rented with his sidechick.
"My love!" Scarlet walked out of the house, but Elex rushed past her and entered the living room with an enormous basket in his hands.
"Did you-," she asked, watching him nod.
"It's alright. You needed to do this. You owe it to our daughter." Scarlet tried calming him down, but he was panicking.
"It's not something normal. I'm going to feed a weredragon baby to a werewolf baby. It's not fucking normal. I will forever be cursed for doing this to another infant." Elex put the basket down and sat on the sofa with teary eyes.
"It will be alright. We have to do this for our daughter." Scarlet had tears in her eyes when she mentioned her own daughter. "Sadly, we are not even lucky enough to do the same for our daughter. Imagine if we could- she paused, watching Elex look her way in bewilderment, "Don't look at me that way.' She turned her face to the other side and mumbled, "I wish we could feed this baby to our daughter and save her life."
Elex was shocked, but then again, how could a mother not want to go overboard to save her daughter?
"How is Bea?" Elex asked, feeling bad for his daughter. He was devastated to save her, but he wasn't rich and powerful enough to do anything for her.
"She is dying," Scarlet said, steadily peering into the basket and wondering why she couldn't feed this baby to her Bea and save her life.
"What if we we feed one of these to our daughter? There is anyway two of them,' Scarlet suggested as she saw the two weredragon babies sleeping in the basket.
The treasures of the weredragons.
