Haha, I saved a jerk

I was careful not to dig right under one of them. I popped my head up out of the ground, hearing a screech. I glared at the boy thinking, my mate was hurt and stuck under rubble, leading me to have the embarrassment of my life.

I looked at the boy, he was holding Damon's head up, crying. I wrote on the ground with my claw:

I'm here to help, are you hurt?

He replied with a shake of his head, side to side, relief in his eyes.

If you aren't hurt follow closely behind, help me bring the Alpha into the tunnel.

I went back into the tunnel after the boy agreed. Soon after, the boy slowly lifted Damon down into the hole. I wrapped my tail around him and moved us up further so the boy could climb down.

After that, we slowly climb through the tunnel in order to not make Damon's wounds worse. The boy tripped over Damon's feet a few times, but we got out without a hitch. I could see the light seeping in from ahead, so I dragged Damon out of the hole. People cheered as soon as they saw Damon, while others helped attend to their wounds.

After that, we had to camp here for a few weeks. I guess since my emotions weren't under control, Esmon stayed in charge. He flew scouting the area sometimes or made me eat raw fish. Since I couldn't talk in human language, anyone who talked to me, I would spit fire at them. Then they learned to stay away. The parts of the day when Esmon didn't have full control, I would lay at the foot of the bed Damon was at. His hole chest wrapped in bandages. This went on for about a month.

One day when Esmon was scouting, Cody came running and shouting that the Alphas awake. I gained control and flew straight to his tent. I was muddy and dirty, but I just wanted to see him, hear his voice. Guess now wasn't a bad time to tell him I'm a dragon if the others hasn't already.

His tent was straight ahead, I was too excited and flew to fast. Trying to stop when the realization hit me. Too late I thought, preparing myself for the rough landing. When I didn't feel pain I peeked out of my eye to see what caught me.

Are you a dragon or a ball? A deep voice that I missed so much asked. I looked up seeing my mate smiling at me. I started licking his face when he pushed me away. No offense, but you smell like fish. Red spread across my face and I quickly got off him. Writing on the ground put of embarrassment and curiosity.

Are we going home soon? And are you okay with this side of me?

He looked at me like I was stupid and said, I don't care what you are, I just care that you're you. He then flicked me on the forehead saying, we'll go home today since my wounds are almost completely healed. I was excited and jumped into the backseat of Cody's car, waiting for Damon.

You act more like a dog than a dragon. He mumbled smiling at me as he got in the car. I laid my head on his lap while breathing in his scent I have been missing for a while now.
