Thera and her husband, Ethan, sat across from where the twins and I were sitting. It was completely silent save for the sound of Ethan's scribbling in his notebook while he studied my form cuddled into his sons' arms. Thera had an icy glare in her eyes and a scowl on her face as she faced Dian and Ian in one body. My beloveds were boiling inside with anger, but they had an icy calm facade in the forefront. I was honestly very impressed.

We were currently in another sitting room. It had more modern furniture in it with rectangular, cream-colored couches with metal legs and a metal coffee table with cream-colored metal inset swirls. I'd been really surprised half an hour ago when a servant came in with a trolley to deliver tea and snacks to the coffee table between the two silent parties. But the servant had booked it out of the room moments after Thera glared at him.

The snacks did look very tasty, but I didn't want to interrupt my beloveds' thought processes until I was actually hungry. The tea smelled very pleasant, too. My stomach suddenly growled and everyone flinched.

"Oops, sorry." I whispered, then giggled when Ian cupped my head and kissed my face. He was extremely happy when I managed to plant my lips on his own.

Afterwards, Dian reached for a plate and put snacks on it, then leaned back. I grasped the plate and kissed his cheeks. He blushed and smiled, then his pupils enlarged when he began watching me nibble on the food he'd given me. Dian pressed his lips to my forehead, then deeply inhaled and slowly exhaled as he straightened again.

"Let me get straight to the point." began Dian, saying the first words I'd heard spoken in the last forty minutes since he had told his parents that they needed to talk. I was extremely impressed by everyone's patience.

Thera clenched her fists and Ethan set his notebook aside, although he seemed to be regretting it when my tail wiggled. Dian was about to say it when I inhaled and got a piece of cookie stuck in my throat. I wasn't thinking straight while I coughed harshly, but thankfully Ian managed to pour a cup of tea and I gulped it down.

"I really am sorry," I said again, but they stared at me in silence for a few seconds and then began to laugh. Ian returned the cup to the table and they both kissed my head again. At least they weren't mad at me for interrupting again.

They whispered in my left wolf ear, "Thank you, Anwyll."

I didn't get time to ask for what because they pushed a sandwich corner into my mouth as they leaned back again. Dian and Ian clearly spoke together this time.

"You are two of the most garbage parents in the world."

Thera's eyes widened and Ethan choked on his own tea, which he'd quickly poured for himself while I was choking earlier.

"Wh-what—?" angrily spluttered Ethan, then held his tongue after my line of sight flicked over to him.

"Maybe you don't think of yourselves as being as that bad in comparison to some other parents, but you were absolutely horrible to us." stated Ian, his lips pulling back in a snarl. "And because you were horrible to us, everyone else treated us so much worse. As the leader of a clan, Thera, surely you should be practicing good habits when it comes to children—especially your own."

Thera's lips pulled back in the same way as Ian's lips, her fists crumpling her multi-layered dress. "I gave birth to one mutated bastard. It's a scar to my name and birthright of the Obsidian Knights."

Ian sneered, "Mutated, huh? I guess you would think of us like that. But you weren't powerful enough to see the truth."

Thera's face turned bright red and her jaw clenched. "Who the hell would that be—?"

Her gaze drifted down to little innocent me with the big, violet eyes and a silver ring around my pupils. I grinned over at her, just as her icy blue gaze met mine.

"You really wanna know how much of a bitch you are and how much pain you caused again?" I asked with a smirk, curling my fluffy tail around my beloveds and myself, snuggling deeper into their arms.

I heard something crack and turned my head to see Thera holding her hand, the sight of her broken fingers making me grimace. "I thought you would have learned not to attack me from our first encounter, Thera. I guess you really are dumb."

She screeched, her draconic roar shaking the room. I snapped my fingers and she was back on the couch, bound with her arms behind her back. A muzzle was also wrapped around her head, which made the prideful, arrogant woman flush with fury and humiliation. I giggled, smiling when Dian and Ian kissed my cheeks.

"Now that our dear mother has been silenced for now," they murmured, their gaze moving over to their father. "With all of your supposed 'genius intellect' and magic research with dragons, you couldn't even figure out that your son was actually two."

Ethan gaped. "Y-you're joking."

Ian glared at him. "Joking? Do you really think I would crack a joke at a time like this—at any time around you fucking idiots?"

I rubbed his chest, so he sighed and crossed his legs. I winced slightly when my rear end was moved, but I settled down again very quickly.

Dian came forward again. He said, "I am the original owner of this body, Dian."

"And I am Ian, the twin that merged with him inside our mother's womb." stated Ian, his tense jaw relaxing ever so slightly after I kissed his chest. "As soon as we were self-aware, we realized what had happened. But neither of you believed us. And this was after the results came back that we were not a full-blooded dragon. Have you realized why yet?"

"Surely you've already realized, Ethan, since you're such a genius." sneered Dian, cupping my head.

Ethan clenched his fists. "Then one of you is the pureblood and the other is the human, is that it?"

"Wow, so he isn't a moron!" exclaimed Ian, laughing after his mocking remark.

Until this point, Thera had been enraged and still trying to free herself from her bindings. But she stopped and properly looked at her sons—probably for the first time since before the blood test.

"You saw what we went through. My precious person made it happen. You saw and felt everything that we did. You have no right to claim that we are not your children. We have every right to claim that you're both shitty parents. Even if you come to that realization on your own and come to understand what you've done to us—to this clan with your selfishness—we probably won't ever accept your apologies." firmly stated Dian and Ian, standing up.

They set the saucer onto the table and I removed their mother's bindings without a word, clutching onto their chest as their nose buried in my hair. Dian and Ian lifted their head again, staring fiercely at their stunned parental units.

"Without him, we never would have come here again and told you the truth. Without him, you would have never known that you tossed away children who will never let you back into their lives, even after we become two separate people. You won't have an heir in us, regardless of which one of us is the real dragon."

Dian and Ian's voice was filled with emotion, but they managed to stay strong. I glanced at their parents' confused and stricken expressions. The former was from Ethan and the latter was on Thera's face. Dian and Ian inhaled deeply and marched for the door, then didn't look back as he opened it.

"Farewell, you fucking nitwits."

They slammed the door behind themself, then began to cry silently. I carefully shifted around a bit, then cupped their wet cheeks and gently pecked their lips.

"Let's go home, Dee, Ee." I whispered, and they nodded.

"Please," they whispered.

Just as I readied myself for the teleportation, the door reopened and a frantic Ethan reached out for us. But it was too late because the teleportation was underway. Then I felt my tail being yanked. I cried out in pain as I was ripped away from Dian and Ian. Their shocked cry echoed in my ears as they vanished in front of me.

I could easily teleport back home, but now I was pissed off. I rolled over onto my hands and knees with a furious glare in my eyes. Ethan didn't let go of my tail, however, and played with it a bit.

"Let go of me!"

"Your tail is so fascinating. It almost has a life of its own."

Now I was seething. I slapped him hard and he released my tail, holding his left hand to his left cheek. I eased my lower half's pain enough to stand, then glowered at him.

"What do you want?"

Ethan stared at me blankly.

"Are you that much of a pervert that you want me to hit you again?" I asked, sharpening my glare.

The older man flushed. "N-no, I just had a question."

"What, exactly? How I'll be separating Dian and Ian?"

Ethan nodded with a curious gaze. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. I backed away from him and my tail swished behind my legs. I really want to punish that bastard for hurting me and frightening my beloveds. But I decided to hold back for now. There was an angry Thera in the background.

"I won't tell you. Feel some regret, anguish, and despair, and then learn from those, you idiot." I snapped, and then teleported myself. In slow motion, an evil grin appeared on my face as I watched his curiosity fade to panic and desperation appeared moments before they became fuzzy from the teleport.

My feet landed on the floor of Dian's and Ian's room just as they rushed back inside with my daddy. I stared up with an innocent expression at their stunned faces and then grinned.

"I had the satisfaction of watching your old man suffer with no answer to his burning question." I said with a big smile, my tail wagging behind me.

Dian and Ian exhaled harshly, dropping to their knees. I limped my way over to him and hugged his neck tightly as I knelt down in front of him.

"I'm sorry for worrying you both, but I am super strong, remember?"

Dian chuckled. "I keep forgetting because you're too cute."

Ian agreed and kissed my cheeks. "I'm happy you're safe."

"Me too, Ee, Dee." I replied quietly, then blushed when they picked me up again.

Daddy petted my head and gently pecked my lips. "I am also pleased that you are safe, my baby boy."

"I'm sorry for worrying you too, Daddy."

He smiled and ruffled my hair. "It's okay, sweetheart. Come say goodnight to me later, all right?"

"Absolutely!"

I watched my daddy leave with a chuckle on his lips, so I was relieved that all was well. But then Dian and Ian left their hole-y room, heading over to Waltz's room across the hallway.

"Are you sure now's a good time?" I asked quietly, now noticing that the hallway was dark. Time had passed by really fast at Dian and Ian's home, I guess.

My beloveds nodded. "Now or never," they murmured.

Dian rapped his knuckles on Waltz's door, then waited for a few seconds. We heard thumps on the floor and Waltz opened his door while he rubbed a towel over his thick ash-blond hair.

"Dee and Annie? What's up? Need some extra lovin'?" he teased, then noticed our somber expressions. "Wait, what's wrong?"

"Dee has something to tell you, Alt." I said softly, then asked, "Is it okay if we intrude?"

Waltz chuckled and ushered us inside. As he closed his door and locked it he said, "You two are never intruding. I love you both so much."

Dian and I blushed. I had to look away when our Emerged faerie began pulling on a pair of clean underwear. Why is he so erotic?

"Aww, thank you, Annie. It makes me want to gobble you up."

My face turned beet-red. "D-did I say that aloud?"

"Yep," replied Waltz. "Now, if only you said my middle name again..."

I whined and he began to laugh, then shooed us over to the bed. He ventured into his closet and came back out in pajamas, then sat down in front of us on his bed.

"Just sit already," grumbled Waltz. "You're making me antsy."

Dian took a seat and settled my achy rear end in his lap. He hugged me tightly and took a deep inhale of my scent, then slowly exhaled.

"Zee, I have a twin."

Waltz made no move for a good ten seconds, then he shrieked, "Wha—!"

Waltz quieted himself and asked, "What? What do you mean? Did you see him recently? Is that why you've been down?"

Dian shook his head and ruffled my hair. "Annie confirmed our suspicions."

"What suspicions? What's going on? Stop beating around the bush, Dian!" exclaimed Waltz, pounding his bed with his fists.

He calmed down when he noticed me asking for a kiss. He leaned forward and our lips met for a quick chaste kiss. I giggled quietly, then Waltz's wings appeared and became very sparkly while they fluttered behind him.

Dian smiled, then steeled himself. "My twin merged with me inside our mother's womb. We are an Emerged dragon because either Ian was meant to be the dragon and I was meant to be human or vice versa."

Waltz reeled in his shock. He flopped back and covered his mouth with hands. "Holy shit—!" he shrieked a few moments later, although it was indeed muffled.

I looked up at Dian and smiled. "Not so bad, huh?"

He nodded, then flinched when Waltz suddenly sat up and shot forward. "Z-Zee?"

"You said your twin's name was Ian, right? Can I meet him? Does he love me, too? Oh, I hope he does! This is so cool! And exciting!" exclaimed Waltz, hugging Dian's neck.

"Yeah, I love you. I love you so much, Zee." whispered Ian, burying his face into the crook of Waltz's neck and shoulder. "Shit, you smell amazing like Wyll."

Waltz sat back and cupped Ian's cheeks, his hazel eyes reddening slightly. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? We've been dating for a couple years, haven't we?"

Ian shook his head. "Dian and I were too scared of what you'd think. It was frustrating, though. I often took out my anger on the walls and floors of our room, and I'd even done my best to hurt Dian. I was the same one that hurt Wyll when he first came here, too. That wasn't Dian."

Waltz was a bit in shock, I'd say. But I was a bit surprised when Waltz lightly slapped Ian's cheeks and frowned at him.

"You won't hurt Annie anymore?"

"Of course not! I love him," whispered Ian. "Just as I've loved you all this time."

Waltz's gaze suddenly turned heated, but Dian and Ian wanted to tell him what my plans were all about. Waltz sat back even more and lifted his jaw with his hand.

He looked straight at me and asked, "Are you sure you can do this?"

"I will take extra measures to ensure their safety, Alt. I love them."

Waltz smiled. "I know. But you'll have to focus."

"I think I'll be connecting my mind to theirs so I can duplicate everything properly. Otherwise, I am concerned I'll do something outrageous with my magic again."

Waltz chuckled and cupped my cheeks, then gently pecked my lips. "Thank you, Annie. I'm super excited for this, really."

"Why is that?" asked Dian, so Waltz grinned.

"Now I can get double-teamed and we can have a foursome with Annie!"

I could immediately sense Dian and Ian's embarrassment and mortification from the last part. But they had been overjoyed before that, which made me super duper happy.
