I once again drown in the feelings of my mate. Delicious, exquisite rapture.I know time has passed, I’ve seen the sun come up and the sun go down. I know that our emotions caused the elements around us to react, having seen the waterspout spinning around us, as if I was on the ground looking up at it. And then there were the flames that danced around the waterspout, heating me with steam that caressed my skin in the few places that Ancalagon wasn’t.Time passed and we might have returned back to the Academy already, but Ancalagon was worried about me getting pregnant.“Baby, you need to tell me if you’re ready to have my baby, because you are FULL of my sperm.”“I…”Do I want Ancalagon’s baby? Absolutely, the idea of carrying his child sends a different kind of pleasure rolling through me. Being able to bind myself to him like that, forever, is extremely appealing. But right now, we have a lot that we have to figure out. I’m still learning what it means to be a dragon rider. I’m still
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 65: Ancalagon
Playing with Eliane in her dragon form is nearly as much fun as having sex with her. Nearly. But now, it’s time to return home. I know Eliane said things won’t change between us , but I’m still nervous about what or how Iniko might get her to take his side in things. Since he can lie to her, he could tell her anything. I’m just glad that she now knows that he did lie to her and that I have always told her the truth.“Why is my dragon unsettled?” Eliane asks. She’s wrapped in my arms, exactly where I like her to be. I’d waited until she’d fallen asleep and shifted, then moved her into my arms so I could keep her safe while we slept.“It’s time. We’re right outside the academy,” I tell her. The dragons and Cedric’s werewolf patrols had sensed my presence last night, but since I didn’t announce myself, they stayed quiet.She rolls over to look at me. “It’s going to be okay, Cal,” she says, stroking my cheek. I sigh, feeling it in her mind that she believes it, so I will too.“Okay. Are we
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 66: Eliane
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my short life. Some were because I didn’t know or understand what it meant to be rider or a dragon. And some, I have to take full responsibility for. I can feel Ancalagon’s worry that I’ll shut him out again. After sealing our bond, our connection is much stronger. While I can’t read his mind like he can read mine, I can feel his emotions, and I know that it’s my fault that he’s worried.So, not only do I make a point of leaving my mind open for him to hear what’s said, but I also make a point of letting him and Iniko know that I intend to check in with him later. Iniko has manipulated me up to this point. Whether it was for his own needs, or because he truly thought we were mates, I’m not sure, but I now understand the difference between what a mated dragon-rider bond feels like and a straight dragon-rider bond. I still care about Iniko, I still love him, but I will never love him the way that I love Ancalagon.“Do you want to walk?” I ask him.He nods a

Eliane came to my room after talking to Iniko, just like she said she would. I felt her coming, so I opened the door and waited for her. She rushed right into my arms, kissing me.It felt good to hear her confront Iniko and to tell him that she knew that I would never lie to her, that everything I do is for her, and that if he pushed her to choose, she would choose me. I wouldn’t put her in that position, I know that’s not what she wants. So, just as she told Iniko, I will do whatever it takes for the two of us to get along, even if it means he gets time alone with her and I have to sit out.Eliane had stayed with me until Ajax had returned to the room.“So, you two are good now?” he asked us.“Yeah, we’re good now,” I say, keeping her tucked up against me on the bed where we’d been snuggling together.“Hey, how’s the girl in the hospital? Any change?” I ask him.“Emmi. She woke up and told us her name. She still…well, Doc is still running tests on her. He hasn’t figured out what she i

ElianeI’m so proud of Cal. I knew he’d come through for me. I knew he’d make the effort to work with Iniko. I wasn’t sure how Iniko would feel about it, but I’m glad that he’s also making the effort to get along.“Be careful with Kenzo, Iniko. He’s a sneaky little earth dragon,” Ancalagon says as we walk to class. He has his arm around my shoulders. It’s casual, but also a very clear display that I’m his mate. Since I am, and I want everyone to know it, I wrap my arm around his waist. I may have two dragons, but I only have one mate.“Shut up, Cal. Earth dragons aren’t sneaky,” Kenzo says.“Are you sure about that?” I ask, joining in the teasing. It feels good to have the dragons on my side again.“Not you, too!” Kenzo complains.“I guess we’ll see what Iniko says after class,” Cal says to him.“He’s got earth dragon, too!” Kenzo says, and all of us look at Iniko.“I’m much more like my mother than my father,” he says.“That does not matter. You’re part earth dragon, therefore, you ha
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 69: Iniko
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
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 70: Ancalagon
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
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 71: Ajax
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

Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Epilogue 2: Ancalagon
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
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Epilogue 1: Eliane
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.
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 75: Ancalagon
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
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 73: Eliane
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
