Kai and Apollo were busy cleaning his wounds while Hunter was busy cleaning the front porch. Luca had gone out to seek his father, he would be somewhere naked and beating himself up for catching Dean and almost killing him.
Dean was still unconscious and his brothers were gently wiping his back, trying their best not to wake him. "Micco hasn't found him for two years now, what happened last night?" Apollo asked Kai worried.
"Only he knows. And I'm hoping it's not because he let himself be found because Micco had been bothering dad by always not being able to find him." A tear slid down Kai's face. Knowing their little brother he might have just done what they were thinking.
"What the hell is this?" Kai furrowed his brows when he got to Dean's neck. Apollo came close to look at what he was talking about, "is- is that a mark?" Apollo was surprised.
"Who the hell marked him?" Kai asked Apollo as if he had the answers.
"Lizzy maybe...?" He guessed. "But they broke up and that bi*ch is dating Kylo. No?" This is the story they knew. How come had Lizzy marked their little brother after dumping him, what gave her the right?
"Lizzy marked Dean?" Hunter came in holding the mop he had heard them when he came in so he came in to see with his own eyes.
"Yeah!" Both Kai and Apollo nodded.
"Cool, our brother found his soulmate." Hunter clapped his hands as he let the mop fall on the ground.
"Hope little prince Asher is doing okay. He lost-" before he could finish talking in came Lizzy and Luca balancing Azriel, one on each side.
"I really am sorry." Lizzy was apologizing profusely as the walked.
"What happened?" Hunter rushed to help them.
"You want to tell them?" Luca looked towards her.
"Last night.... Micco went crazy and attacked me." Lizzy turned around to lift her shirt and show them her slowly healing back that Micco had scratched.
"What the f**k?" Hunter's eyes widened, it was a mystery as to what the hell happened last night.
"Woah cover up." Kai shielded his eyes as he walked into the dining area seeing Lizzy almost half naked. Lizzy rolled her eyes with a big sigh.
Azriel woke up a little disoriented and looked around. Kai threw him a wet towel which startled him a little bit.
"You hurt Momo." He said in a cold voice, "and me!" Lizzy added in a high voice.
Azriel looked towards her, "are you okay?" He asked looking sorry.
"No! What the hell was that!?" She yelled. Azriel looked down and sighed, he was so tired of Micco's bullsh*t that he didn't know what to do anymore.
"Dad....?" Luca prompted for him to explain.
"Micco has given up on hunting Dean." When they heard that everybody stood still. It was good news but they could tell that bad news were soon to follow.
"But....?" Kai gave him a headstart.
"He's now into hunting Dean's mate." As soon as those words left his sorry mouth, Kai and Hunter looked at Lizzy who looked back at them with confusion.
"What's that got to do with me?" Lizzy didn't understand. "Yeah dad what's that got to do with Lizzy? She broke up with Dean." Luca said the last sentence gritting his teeth. Was he still upset that Lizzy broke up with Dean? Yes. And he wished he could have kicked her a*s into tomorrow but Dean told him that beating up a girl would ruin him, which he should have understood on his own if he was ever rational about anything that ever came close to hurting Dean. None of them were rational about things that hurt Dean.
"Well she marked him, clearly they are back together." Azriel explained. "By the way I always knew that you and my son were made for each other." His face drew on a little smile of approval.
"What?" Lizzy was confused. This was the first time she was hearing of this.
"Don't worry." Azriel raised his hand to stop her from talking. "I will now be putting Micco down and I know Dean won't stop me this time." He nodded.
"He loves you way too much to sacrifice you." He winked at her giving a positive tone to his statement. Lizzy didn't know what was happening and her face was clearly showing it.
"You seem confused." Taking note of her face Kai spoke up.
"Yeah I am." She turned to look at Azriel and said, "Mr. Nyko I didn't mark Dean."
The room fell silent, everybody had a questioning look, followed by confusion.
"Then who the hell-" before that question was to be finished king Asher walked in, "Azriel!" He screamed walking in followed by two royal guards.
"What?" Azriel turned to him you could hear the annoyance in his voice.
"Lizzy's parents have lodged a taming complaint against Micco for hurting their daughter." He explained.
"They what!?" Lizzy questioned the king. "Why would they do that?" She was exasperated.
"Well Micco did attack you, correct?" He asked and Lizzy nodded.
"Im sorry Azriel vut we have to take you in." King Asher stopped talking to Lizzy and looked at Azriel.
"When this was just about your family, I let it go per your request but now...." He shook his head indicating that it had gone out of hand.
"Yeah. I know. It's just that Micco is now going after Dean's mate. I think I should be put down." He agreed.
"Ohh, Lizzy is Dean's mate? Weren't you dating my son?" He seemed to have put two and two together pretty much quick.
"I was... I mean I am." She hesitated a little bit.
"You haven't broken up with him even though you marked my brother!?" Kai seemed furious too quick.
"What? You have already marked him. Way to go." King Asher gave a few nods of approval. "I'll tell my son for you, it's always nice when young people find love." He smiled.
Lizzy shook her head violently, "I didn't mark Dean!" She yelled trying to be heard.
"Then who...?" Hunter didn't dare finish that sentence as if it was some kind of taboo. If Dean wasn't seeing Lizzy then it would be possible for him to see someone else, but how come they didn't know who it was when their relationship has already reached the stage of the person marking Dean?
Lizzy shook her head to indicate that she didn't know so that they ask her no further questions because they were all looking at her as if she knew something.
"Wake him up." In a stern voice Azriel instructed seeing that it would be the King's next order.
Apollo came in carrying him like a sack of potatoes over his shoulder because bridal style wouldn't work since his back was injured.
"What?" He asked without a care in the world.
"Who-" King Asher stopped Luca from talking as he wanted to be the one to question him.
"Dean." In a low tone King Asher called him. Dean looked at him.
"Whose mark do you bear?" When that question left his mouth Dean looked around the room and all eyes were on him. He opened his mouth to speak but not a sound came out. He closed his mouth and took a deep breath in.
"How do you know about my mark?" He asked.
"Momo, we're trying to solve some issues her so please tell us who's your mate." Dean shot him a quick glance and asked, "why?"
Lizzy lost her patience, "because Micco attacked me last night thinking I'm your mate!" She exploded.
"It's not you." He answered carefree.
"I know that, but he doesn't!" She pointed at Azriel.
"Why did Micco attack Lizzy?" Dean turned to his dad.
"Didn't you hear me!? He thought-" Azriel cut her off.
"Micco has now changed tactics, he now wants you to feel his loss. So he's going after your mate and not you." He sounded defeated.
"I don't think you should tell me the name of your mate, that might just put her in danger. It's good that you're not telling us." Azriel nodded in approval thinking that this would solve everything.
"He can't hide her forever, they are mates and newly in love. That girl is going to do everything to be with him. I'm surprised that she's not here yet after you being hurt." King Asher looked around and outside in case someone was coming.
"Azriel I think we should just take you in now." He nodded softly showing his empathy.
"You have seen them grow up." He reassured, "and we can keep you in the palace dungeon that way they can come visit you and you will finally get to see Dean's mate without shredding her into pieces, and the rest of your son's mates." King Asher gave him a soft look. He had a soft spot for Azriel since he save his life all those years ago and knowing what their family went and still goes through all these years he was really sorry but he couldn't endanger someone's child just because of that soft spot.
Azriel nodded in understanding and stood up to be captured.
"Wait!" Dean stopped them, "dad won't hurt anyone else." He released a breath ready to tell the truth.
"Momo didn't you hear him? This time Micco is aiming to kill, not just to hurt you." Luca interrupted. Everybody nodded in agreement with him.
"Micco can't kill the person who marked me." They looked at him with pity thinking he was in denial.
"Momo...." Kai came close to comfort him but Dean stood up and immediately winced in pain realizing he had stood up too fast which aggravated his wounds.
"Dad. Tell Micco he can't kill the person because the person who marked me isn't my mate."
