I knew it. I knew he’d tortured her, but to hear her say it, to hear Eliane sobbing with the memory of what must have been unimaginable pain….I couldn’t take hearing anymore.

I’d been right outside her door, listening in. I don’t care if she doesn’t want me to hear. She’s my mate. I need to know what I can do to help her. But hearing that, hearing her break down, it nearly broke me.

I raced outside, barely making it before my dragon ripped through me. I leaped into the air roaring my anger and frustration. Elio and Ajax are the first to join me, the other dragons joining close behind.

“Please, I just want to be alone,” I tell them.

It takes a moment, then they all fall away. All but one.

I turn and look at my best friend.

“Alone means by myself, Jax,” I tell him.

“I know. I’m just flying,” he says as if he’s not keeping tabs on me. I’m too distraught to care. If he wants to follow me, fine. At least I know he’ll keep quiet.

I fly high up into the sky, high enough that humans and even m

    This time when I wake up, I look around, not afraid, but not seeing anything familiar. My eyes land on the large, dark figure sitting in the corner of my room.“What are you doing here?” I know it’s him. He smells so good. He’s been here a while based on how strong his scent is in this room.“We need to talk.”“Did they find Iniko?”“Not yet. My father, Merethyl, Tana, and Cedric are still out looking. They’ll have to come back soon. They all have small children at home. But we’ll keep looking. I’ll send the dragons out to search.”“But not you. You won’t search for your own brother, will you?” Of course he won’t. He was willing to let Iniko die.“I would, I have, but right now, I’m worried about you,” he says.I snort. “A bit late for that, don’t you think.”“Listen, Eliane, I know you think I didn’t try to find you, but I did…”“Save it. I don’t want to hear your excuses. You always seem to have one. So, what is it this time? What dire emergency is keeping you from helping to find yo

    When my father, Merethyl, Tana, and Cedric arrived home later that night, I went to them and told them my plan. My father is covered in his children with his mate, loving on them and giving them a lot of attention since he’s been gone. Merethyl is holding the youngest one, an elf son, while my father plays with the other three. He’s always been a good father, even to me. I wonder if I ever have children if I’ll be a good father too.“Are you sure that’s a good idea, son?” my father asks me.“I don’t see any other way. Do you?” I ask.My father looks at Merethyl.“When do you want to do this?” she asks me.“Tomorrow. I don’t like the idea that she has explosives in her brain. Now that we know how the Mean Ones got the paralytic, I’d feel a whole lot better if they were out of her head.”“I understand, but it’s a risk,” my father says.“So is everything else that we do. This isn’t any different, it’s just that I’ll be the one taking the brunt of her anger if she lashes out, but I don’t t

    I knew the moment I smelled him that Cal was my mate. Everything about him is drawing me to him. I can feel my heart, already wrapping around him, loving him in the way that only a dragon can.I rumble happily as we fly, my mate whooping on my back excitedly, enjoying himself as he was meant to be, riding on my back.“Over there, Jewels,” he says to me, guiding me to the place he said he wanted to take me. I feel a wave of jealousy flow through me. No human could get up here. He had to come on a dragon. He has the scent of a dragon, all of the elements blended together. His scent is intoxicating, but now, I wonder if it’s because he’s been with other dragons. I did notice other dragons at the school. Perhaps…“Jewels, why are you getting hot? What are you thinking about?”I don’t answer him right away, but my jealousy is getting worse the more I think about my mate with someone else.“Jewels, what is going on?”“Who is she?” I growl.“Who is who, my beautiful dragon.” I can feel his ha

    I feel warm and comfortable, something I don’t remember feeling for a long time. This isn’t Iniko. He keeps me warm, but this is much warmer. And the smell all around me is delicious, making my mouth water. What is that scent? I feel like I’ve smelled it before.I move my cheek, instantly feeling the cool air around me brushing against the warmth of my face. I run my nose over the floor that I’m sleeping on. It smells SO good. I have a nearly insatiable urge to lick it. And that, more than anything, has me jolting awake.When I do, I lift up, and see Ancalagon’s glimmering eyes, smiling down at me.“Sleep well?” he asks, and I can hear the mirth in his voice. Please tell me I didn't lick him in my sleep!I scramble to get off of him. I can’t believe I thought he smelled good!“You’re alive. I guess my dragon didn’t kill you,” I say. I know I sound grumpy, but I didn’t expect to wake up laying on top of Cal and I certainly didn’t expect to like it.“No, she didn’t,” he says and the way

    I know Eliane is checking me out. I’m used to nudity. I’m an animal, clothes aren’t natural for me to wear. But she was raised as a human, so nudity for her isn’t normal.I may have been teasing a bit, especially when I caught the scent of her arousal. Damn, she smells good. The dragon in me wants to lick her body, finding where the taste is the strongest and then focusing my tongue there. I’m sure her entire body tastes like sunshine, crisp, clean, and fresh, but there’s also the daffodil scent and the forest after a rainstorm. I wonder if she could take my insatiable desire to taste her, every inch of her, until I’m satisfied. I’m a hungry, greedy dragon, and she smells like something I could spend my life enjoying. Well, she is my mate, she’s made for me, so I guess the answer is yes, she could take it. I can’t wait for the day when I can find out.I was frustrated with myself when she called me out about flying with other women. I hadn’t really thought that through with I’d brought

    I find myself drawn to this version of Ancalagon. This is the dragon that I remember from the laboratory, the one who was kind and sweet. Even though I couldn’t understand him back then, we’d found a way to communicate.So, when he leans in to kiss me, I don’t immediately pull away. I’m drawn in by his warm lips, his strong arms, and his scent. Oh, his scent. He smells so wild, so much like the elements that he manipulates, that I find it hard to resist him.When his tongue slides over my lips, I open my mouth, giving him the entrance he’s requesting. Unlike Iniko, there’s nothing tentative about Ancalagon. His kiss is gentle, but demanding and possessive.It’s the thought of Iniko that has me pulling back. I can’t get distracted while he’s still out there being tortured.“We shouldn’t,” I say, feeling the instant loss of his mouth on mine. My lips are still tingling from the kiss and I subconsciously lick my lips, tasting him on me. It’s almost enough to make me forget everything else

    I spent several hours helping to calm Morgan and talk to her about how to use her water element against Aithlin, who is an elf and will have the earth element.“Earth is so much stronger than water,” Morgan says.“Tell that to Kaylani who fought off an entire troupe of elves, Morgan.”“But he’s older, Cal. He’s used to using his earth element much more than I’m used to using my water element.”“You’re a dragon, Morgan. I know he’s your mate, but that doesn’t mean he’s worthy of being your rider.”I say the words to her, thinking of my own mate. I have a hard to believing that Eliane isn’t worthy of being my rider. She’s already a rider. I don’t even know if it’s possible for a rider to claim more than one dragon. I make a mental note to speak to my father about that tonight.When I’ve practiced with Morgan, using my earth element against her and having her use her water element with me, she’s much calmer.“When is the claim?” I ask her.“Two days.”“We’ll practice again as often as you

    I was exhausted when I got back from searching for Iniko with Ancalagon all day. I was glad when Kaylani told me she’d already assigned me a room.“I’m assuming you don’t have anything in the way of toiletries, right?” she asked.“No. Umm, and I don’t have a way to pay for them either.”“Oh, sweetheart, we’re dragons. You have so much to learn about how you are now, but just know that dragons collect treasure. There is no need for money here. Between the four elemental dragons and probably Ancalagon as well, I’m sure we could build fully stocked castles if we wanted to.”“What kind of treasures?” I ask her.She reaches out her hand as if she’s feeling for something in the air, and then she closes her eyes. I feel the ground wobble a bit underneath my feet before the ground opens up and a beautiful pearl is pushed up by a small water spout.“Like this,” she says, taking the pearl off the water, and letting her water element drop.“Wow!” is all I can say.“You’ll get used to it, Eliane.

    One Month Later.I’ve never been so exhausted in my life. An Alpha, especially an Alpha of Alphas, should never be this tired. But with twenty-two mouths to feed, it’s nearly impossible to keep up. I’m pretty sure that whoever said it takes a village to raise a family was a dragon, because if I didn’t have the help of nearly every dragon at the academy, I don’t think I’d ever be able to sleep.I can hear my little darlings screeching before I can see them. The four deer I have in my talons will only quiet them for a moment. By the time I’ve fed every one of them, the first ones will be screaming for more food again. And by screaming, I mean screeching. It’s an ear-piercing sound that makes my head throb.As I fly in, I see all of my half siblings in various stages of assisting with my babies. Thankfully, the younger kids enjoy helping out and they can oil and scrub my babies as they shed their skin, which seems like they do every damn day. I’d think I was over-feeding them if they were

    Three months later.“Iniko! Be careful!” I say to the little dragon, the perfect little white dragon. He hatched from his glass egg a couple of weeks ago and because I laid my eggs while he was still in his, he seems to think that my babies are his siblings. I don’t mind. I love that I get to see Iniko as a baby dragon.“Hey, little bro. It’s too hot for you to be here. This is a hatching ground. You’re going to burn yourself,” Ancalagon says, using his big snout to carefully move Iniko away from the hot area that used to be the medical center and is now a dragon egg hatching ground. Of course, I’m the only dragon producing dragon babies, and they had to put a barrier around my eggs since Ancalagon and I won’t let most people near our babies, but it’s still a hatching ground. Iniko hatched here and he’s one of the few that I let near my eggs.He’s always allowed to come see me. I’ll never be able to say no to him. He’s just as sweet as a baby as he was when I met him, sweet and gentle.

    The aftermath of the battle was tough, made more difficult by Iniko’s passing. Two of the people manning the harpoon launchers were killed, but no one claimed that they killed the third and by the time we went searching for him, he was gone.The two earth dragons refused to speak to us until I used my Alpha command to force them. Once I did, they told us how Galeus, Truda, and Banari had convinced them that we were the reason that everything had happened to them and that’s why they attacked. I still don’t trust Dion and Sena, the new earth dragons, but Kaylani has allowed them to move into the big house. At least there, we can all keep watch over them. To their credit, they’ve joined the classes and seem to be advancing quickly.The clean up took a while. With so many dragons crashing to the ground and the two new earth dragons rupturing the earth, it’s taken all of us to make sure that the big house is structurally sound for us to keep living in. The earth itself was easy to correct.

    As we rush towards where Zephyr continues to cry her dragon’s lament, we pass Iniko. My heart clenches, but I know we have to help the others first. As much as I want to go to Iniko, to let myself grieve for the loss of my friend and dragon, I need to help Zephyr. Iniko would have wanted that.When we get to her, Ishir has stopped outside the big house, holding on tightly to her as she cries her dragon’s lament in her human form.Ishir seems to be fighting his own tears and based on what Ancalagon told me, I’m sure he’s battling Zephyr inside her own mind. Nova and Brooke are with them, all of them have their arms wrapped around Zephyr, Nova and Brooke sobbing with her lament for Iniko.“Go get Cyrene. She’ll respond better if it’s you. I’ll help your mother,” I say to Cal.“Be careful,” he says before running inside the big house. I can smell a fire nearby, but that will have to wait until I can get Zephyr calm.“Zephyr,” I say, putting my hands on her body. Almost instantly, I feel t

    As I blow my elements onto my mate’s chest, submitting to him as his dragon and leaving my mark on his chest, I feel something inside of me heal, something snap into place besides our bond. Suddenly, memories come flooding into my mind, images of times in the laboratory when I was a girl, memories of helping Ancalagon when he was captured by the man who claimed to be my father, my father imprisoning me and torturing me to make me into the dragon I am now, my first shift where I destroyed the underground laboratory where my father kept me captive, shifting back because I was terrified of what had happened and seeing Iniko for the first time, helping him escape the laboratory. I remember being alone, being lonely, finding Iniko again, realizing now that he really did know that I was both the humanand the dragon, and that he and I weren’t fated mates. I remember seeing Ancalagon and having no loving feelings for him, being angry with him for leaving me and not coming to find me. I didn’t

    The moment the howls of alarm went up, I raced to the house, helping Zephyr get our kids and rushing them to the nursery in the big house. We have several babies on campus now, so we’ve established a safe room of sorts for the young kids with any mothers or assigned protectors going with them. I want Zephyr in the safe room. She’s getting close to delivering our next kitten, but I know she won’t sit this out. Two of her sons and her sister are out there fighting.As we rush to the battle, I hear the sickening sound of a harpoon launching. The sound brings with it the memories of fighting in the arena, of the days when the dragons were attacked. I thought the harpoons and launchers were gone, but obviously, some remained or have been rebuilt.I hear Avani scream in pain, the earth rumbling around us as he pulls on his earth element and tumbles to the ground. I know it must be bad if the harpoon brought him down. I heard in the past that he ripped a harpoon out of his wing and kept fight

    I’d been flying patrols, thinking about Emmi when I saw the strange dragons, two of them. I bellowed a warning, in case it was an attack and I’m glad I did. At least everyone had a few moments to prepare before all hell broke loose.It felt like harpoons were flying everywhere. Elemental dragons were getting hit and taken down quickly. I’m not sure if that was an intentional move by the attackers, or if the elementals are trying to protect the others. Either way, Avani and Kaylani went down fast.Zephyr is still pregnant, so she can’t shift, but Tana is up, blowing fire and protecting the packhouse where her pups reside.I realize that Merethyl was protecting their house, but once Avani got shot, she raced to him, working to get the harpoon out of his body. I stayed back, battling with the others against these new dragons. Since I was the first to see them, they’d attacked me together. Then Kenzo and Daichi, two other earth dragons, jumped in and we began throwing our earth elements ba

    This past week with Eliane has been amazing. Except for the times when she goes off alone with Iniko, sometimes even flying with him, it’s been incredible. I know I’m a greedy dragon, all water dragons are, but I want my mate to myself, all the time.Today we have mate bonds class. I love this class, not only because Iniko isn’t in the class with us and I get to have her all to myself, but it’s filled with other students who share a mate bond like we do.“Where are Tesha and Fenian?” I ask when we walk in. Those two are always in this class, Fenian wanting to make sure that he’s a good mate to his dragon, especially now that she’s about to have their baby.“Tesha went into labor this morning. She and Fenian are at the medical center,” Kaylani says.“Ohh, another baby. How exciting!” my mate says. I can’t wait for the day when it’s my mate going into labor, or maybe laying her eggs. We just have to get her connected to her dragon first.“I’m surprised that she didn’t want to go off into

    It seems like once Cal accepted me, everyone accepted me. Well, except the elves, but I was warned by basically everyone to stay away from them, Revalor especially. So Eliane’s first day back, even though she spent most of her time with Ancalagon in our joint classes, went really well. I guess being the Alpha of Alphas, what Cal says goes, or at least it seems so.If I’m not in classes with Eliane and Ancalagon, I’m in them with Ancalagon and the other dragons. There are very few classes that Eliane has without Ancalagon, but more that she doesn’t have with me, like mate bonds. Since she and I don’t share a mate bond, I’m not in that class, but she and Ancalagon are. I know that she’s learned a lot about what a mate bond is from that class. And while I know that she and I don’t share a mate bond like the others do, that doesn’t mean that I don’t love her with my whole heart.While the two of them are in classes together, I go to see my mother. I still feel the draw to her and even thou
