I nearly cried when I finally saw the island appear on the horizon, blurred slightly by the sting of salt and exhaustion in my eyes. Relief crashed over me like a wave — sharp, sudden, almost disorienting. My body was screaming. Every muscle ached, my legs were stiff and cramping, and my back felt like it had been locked in place for days. I hadn’t expected the pain to be this intense. Just sitting still, hour after hour, had become a kind of quiet torture. I kept thinking about how easy it could have been, if I could just shift. How natural it would have been but no – we couldn’t wait for my strength to be replenished.But worse than the physical pain was the relentless worry gnawing at me. I couldn’t stop thinking about the eggs — so delicate, so vulnerable — and even more, about my own children. If I’d known this trip would drag out this long, I would’ve at least prepared them better. I would’ve held them tighter, said something more… something to let them know I was coming back, e

We flew in silence for a couple of hours before Scales spoke.‘Why are you still angry with her?’‘You know.’ I huffed‘I think your being stupid.’ He declared‘What! Why? Wouldn’t you be mad if you received an ultimatum like that?’He was quiet for a moment; I could sense that he was thinking. I was confident that I knew what his answer would be, and I started to relax but he surprised me with an unexpected answer instead.‘Honestly, no I wouldn’t. Maybe before I met Mira, I would understand your point but since I have met her, have been with her and we completed the mate bond I don’t…’‘It is your secret she wanted me to tell her!’ I interrupted him.‘No need to get al agitated, I am well aware, but she was not. You also left her before thus I could understand the fear she felt, knowing that you had a secret that you did not trust her enough to share it with her.’‘Now you’re a relationship expert?’ I asked rhetorically; the sarcasm was clear in my tone.‘I believe my questi

Fuck me! It was not in my plan to fuck her, but my beast took over. As soon as we landed, I could smell her arousal and that just pushed me over the edge. I fucked her like I have never fucked her before, and I thought that she would complain but she loved it and that made me love her even more. As she snuggled into my side, where she belonged it reminded me that she wanted to leave me because I wasn’t willing to share my secrets. I wasn’t one to grovel and I wouldn’t have gone back if we didn’t need another pair of hands but when I felt her pain it tempered my rage. For a moment I feared that I might lose her forever and at the moment I felt the secret wasn’t worth keeping if I do lose her until that moment outside of the new house when I sensed her withdrawing again. It didn’t look like she noticed that she was doing it, but I felt it. I felt bad leaving my parents with all the work with them being in pain, but I needed this over with. Yes, it was selfish of me, but I cou

I think he might have sensed the change in my mood because he looked down at me and sneered. He suddenly turned to dad and led him away from us, leaving me where I was standing. Mother followed, her curiosity getting the best of her. He spoke to him in a hushed tone. Father seemed to disagree with what he was saying but after a look my way mom intervened. Touching fathers’ shoulder, she agreed to whatever was said between them. He looked at mom, trying to figure something out but eventually with a shake of his head and a scowl on his face he stalked towards me.“Come” he said before changing into his dragon form.He stood there waiting for me to get on. I looked at mom, and she nodded in approval.I got on him even though, I felt guilty for leaving mom with the kids and packing the house out. I looked back to the house, I was certain that mom heard my thought because I heard mom say, “I will tell them.” She smiled.I blew out a breath I didn’t know I was holding and before I

It was time to break this bond. We send the kids with Maria to our new house to start decorating their new rooms. They didn’t need to see what was about to happen and they were not part of the community yet, so their presence was not essential. Luckily, they were very much for the plan of starting to decorate their own rooms. Since the human world they haven’t had that and even there we never really made the house a home because we knew it was only temporary. Or I knew it was only temporary, and I must have manifested the feeling onto them. My father, my mother and I stood at the border of Dragon Shifter Territory. When my father started reciting the traditional lines to break the bonds, I noticed that he altered it to include his entire blood line, not one individual. We finished the incantation at exactly 12 O’clock, I know because the piercing pain that toppled me to the ground came when the clock struck in town. As the clock continued to toll the pain intensified, taki

It felt like major déjà vu standing in front of the Elder council. Once again Siracussa was blabbering on and on and on. Her loser of a son sat there with a shit eating grin on his face, and it left me baffled how the Elders could be so blind to these two idiots’ actions. It always amazed me how he was allowed in Elder meetings and proceedings when no non-members were allowed.I wanted to ask so badly and was about to blurt out my questions, but I bit down on my tongue until I could taste blood. My father asked for us to be quiet. So, I will. I glanced over at my mother and could see that she was struggling to stay silent as well. My father was patiently waiting."Those two are a disgrace to our noble kind! They have no respect for the law and that one has no respect for her Elders!" She continued ranting. It looked like my mom slapped her station out of her because she couldn't seem to find her, holier than though, stride again."That is quite enough." Eros, one of the Elders
