"We were too late to realise what she had done, Xenon was far beyond reasoning. Dark magic clouded our bond, I could not even reach into his mind... none of us could." King Jian recalled painfully.
"I do not know if you understand, what it means to a dragon to have his mind controlled by another...to defy his life sworn oath against his will, to betray his own kind..."
"I do not know if you understand why a dragon would willingly choose to be cuffed and consider the one thing we loathe the most a better fate..." King Jian trailed off.
Neveah's heart dropped at King Jian's words, the dragon king was never so expressive, never so emotional about anything or anyone.
Yet as he spoke of Xenon and what Misha had put him through, Neveah saw a side of King Jian that she had never seen,
She saw the pain and regret in his tone, the potency of his hatred for Misha, and the purity and absoluteness of his love for his brothers.
