King Asher blinked at his statement. "What?" Azriel's throat was dry thus the question was forced. Dean drew a smile on his face and said nothing more.
"I know you're trying to protect your mate but lying isn't helping." Luca finally cut through the silence. Dean chuckled, "funny you think I'm joking."
"What...wh-" Azriel took a deep breath in, he was boiling. How could his son say such a thing with so much calmness.
"Just tell Micco that the mark on my neck is irrelevant so me and him still have a long way to go." He winked playing the whole thing off.
"Ohh no!" King Asher suddenly exclaimed. "Forget Micco, this is now a crime." King Asher continued.
"You ket a girl mark you even though you knew, she's not your mate!?" Dean could tell he was upset by the tone of his face.
"My King please calm down." Azriel tried to calm him but King Asher shot him a serious look and he immediately clamped up.
"I didn't let the person mark me, it just happened." Dean had a bit of an attitude.
"You mean she jumped you and then marked you?" Now King Asher was boiling over. "Give me her name immediately, she must be punished!" The was authority in his voice and that made cold sweat run down Dean's spine. He swallowed hard and responded with nothing.
"Azriel!" Azriel knew that King Asher was commanding him to handle his son or things will not end very well.
"Momo who is she?" Azriel looked at Lizzy like she was still a suspect. "No!" Lizzy immediately refuted reading Azriel's thoughts like they were put on speaker.
"I'm sorry." He apologized but he just couldn't help it.
"Dean!" Lizzy put some fear on him.
"Don't do that, it doesn't work on me." He shook his head in disappointment.
"Who is she?" Lizzy asked.
"It doesn't matter." He shrugged. "The person is not my mate, but we were fooling around so I guess inabitions went high and here I am." He sat back down feeling overwhelmed talking about this.
He hadn't even had a chance to talk to Kylo about the mess he had created and now he was stuck in it and he was taking the heat and where was Kylo? He was nowhere to be seen or heard.
"What did you just say?" Hunter suddenly said something after all this time.
"You were fooling around?" Dean nodded carefully seeing that should he even show the slightest presence of attitude Hunter would be super pissed.
"How do you let someone who's only sleeping with you, MARK YOU!" The last phrase he said he growled and that made Dean jump a bit.
"I'm sorry." He was careful with his words and expression.
"I don't want an apology, I want a name!" Dean was about to apologize again until he heard what was said then he swallowed his words and bit his tongue.
Hearing his silence Hunter hit the table and exclaimed, "Momo!"
"I'm sorry I can't say....." in a hushed voice Dean apologized.
"Momo you-" Kai started speaking but King Asher disturbed him by shouting, "Enough!" He cut everything off and all eyes were on him.
"Dean, since you're protecting the girl who committed this crime, I have no choice but to imprison you." He spoke with a loving voice while everybody's eyes except those of Dean were filled with panic.
"I understand." Dean nodded.
"You understand.....?" Deans response caught him offguard but he immediately accepted it.
"Take him." He instructed the two guards that were with him and they went and restrained him on each hand.
"Please...." Azriel started to beg but the King's face showed no place for negotiation. "If he tells me everything then he will be free to go." Azriel shut his eyes in pain and the boys looked away as Dean was being dragged away. He didn't make any noise, just let himself be dragged away.
Dean was thrown in a cell in the Palace dungeon and he sat there quitely nothing in his mind, he started meditating. King Asher stood there for a moment watching how calm the boy was and it intrigued and bothered him at the same time.
This young man was a human. But he held on far too strong than the actual lycans in this pack. For eight years the boy has been hunted by his own father and that's like more than 50 full moons and he was still loving his father and treating him with respect and would never look at his father differently.
He thought he owed something to his father and he was making payments without even a single complaint.
The sound of a metal hitting the floor woke him up.
"Didn't think you could sleep in such a place." He bent over to pick the cover of the food.
"I didn't know prisoners get these kinds of food." He accepted the plate being handed to him.
"Shhh. You'll raise a riot from the other prisoners." The guy looked from left to right as if they were actually committing a crime. Dean rolled his eyes.
"I heard you were imprisoned." He said.
"Yeah well, carrying a mark that doesn't belong to your mate tends to land you in jail." When he said that Kylo smirked.
"Are you so sure that I'm not your mate?" Dean immediately choked on the food and started to cough violently.
"Wh- what di- did you just say?" His eyes were red and wet from the violent coughing.
"I'm saying you sound so sure that I'm not your mate, even though you bear my mark." Dean didn't have a comeback as his mind was processing. It was true that he had no way of knowing if Kylo was his mate since he wasn't a lycan but there was absolutely no way that Kylo was his mate.
"You're not my mate." He refused shaking his head even though his eyes were betraying him showing that he wasn't confident in what he was saying.
"Are you rejecting me?" Kylo raised his voice.
"Wait. You can't, I have already marked you." He blew him a kiss.
"You can't run away from me Dean." His face had changed, it had turned dark and his tone made Dean feel uneasy.
"Why did you do it?" He asked.
"I told you. You're mine." He blew him another kiss and winked at him.
"Fine, since we're mates, I'll just tell your dad that you're the one that marked me." Dean smiled at his smart approach but that didn't move Kylo one bit, he seemed as playful as ever when he said, "fine. I'll call him for you." There was no fear or uneasiness in his face as he said that. Dean said nothing.
"Fine let me mind-link him and tell him you want to talk." He smirked and started mind-linking someone.
"Stop!" Dean stopped him and he looked at him.
"Honey, I'm in charge." He winked and walked away.
Dean finally understood that son of bi*ch had him right where he wanted him. It's not that Dean was protecting Kylo. He was protecting himself by not saying who he's been messing around with. Because publicly Kylo was Lizzy's boyfriend, yes Lizzy who is his ex girlfriend. It was a long story and him and Lizzy were best friends after their break-up with Lizzy coming to him for relationship advice and any problem betwee her and Kylo.
