Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 10: Iniko
Eliane’s questions to me answered mine about her feelings for me. She doesn’t feel the mate bond for me like a dragon does. That’s okay. She doesn’t seem to understand that I’ll never leave her to go looking for my mate. She IS my mate. In her human form and her dragon form, my love for her is unending and undying.She also thinks I’m ticklish. I’m not. It’s her touch that makes my body shiver like that. I love when she runs her fingers over my scales, touching me gently. And yes, my body responded to her touch. I hadn’t meant to embarrass her, but I’m glad that she realizes that I’m aroused by her. I want to have everything with her, the life she talked about, a home, love, baby dragons, all of it. I hope that when I shift and we can talk about it, that she wants those things too.I love laying in the sun, listening to her dreams for us. Even when she talks about me going to find my mate, it makes me smile. The things she expects me to do and have with my mate I do want, with her.Wh
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 11: Eliane
Once again, I jerk awake from dreams of being attacked. Only this time in my dream, Snow wasn’t anywhere around, it was just me facing off against the Mean Ones and some other new ones who have joined their group.The first thing I notice when I come awake is that Snow isn’t here. I start to get up, needing to make sure he's okay, but I find myself pinned down by an arm; a warm, large, masculine arm. My eyes widen and my heart rate speeds up. I turn and look behind me seeing a man, a very naked man, sleeping with his body curled up around mine. He has the same wintery scent that Snow has and as I watch, his eyes open, flashing like opals before settling on a bluish color.“Good morning,” he says as if I’ve woken up with him every day of my life.I jump up, ready to run.“Elaine, no! It’s me. Don’t you recognize me?”I turn, anger blazing in my blood. “What did you do? What did you do with my dragon?” I growl, the earth underneath us rumbling. I’ve never been quite sure what my father
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 12: Ancalagon
After getting ready, I make my way to the hospital ward where I know I’ll find Doc Everett. If he’s not home or in class, you can find him pouring over some poor schmuck’s DNA or blood work. Lately, the poor schmuck has been me and I know the Doc takes it personally that he can’t figure out what that fuckhead Oliver did to me.Doesn’t matter. What we all know is that Eliane will fix it, and since she is my mate, having her at my side should heal me. Unlike Everett and the others, I don’t feel the need to be claimed to be fixed. I just need her away from my brother and at my side.When Everett and Kaylani moved to their new home up on the hill, they also moved the hospital so that it’s between their house and the school. Now, what was the hospital is where Everett teaches classes to anyone interested in learning more about the inner workings of dragons, shifters, and even humans. I tend to skip his classes more than I attend. I could give a shit about shifter biology unless it’s going
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 13: Iniko
Now that I’ve shifted, I can finally, finally be with Eliane. I know I need to tell her about Jewels, but not yet. For now, she’s already overwhelmed with the idea that I have a human form. How overwhelmed would she be if she knew she had a dragon form?I watch her as we eat. She’s deep in thought, trying to assimilate all the information I’ve given her. She must feel the mate bond. She must. If we’re mates, she would feel it, even if it’s only in a human way, and I know she's drawn to me. She's told me she loves me multiple times.As I begin to speak to her, I realize that once again, we have the language barrier. There’s a way for us to get past that, a way that she could always understand me and I would know exactly what she was thinking all the time.If I submitted to her, I’d become her dragon. She already calls me her dragon, so I know she wants me. She’d be my rider and no one could ever tear us apart, not the Mean Ones and not Ancalagon.The thought of the dragon who calls hims
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 14: Ancalagon
I had intended to go see my father, but Everett thought it was important to call a meeting about Eliane right away.“So you think she’s the one?” Ishir asks Everett.“I do. I think Oliver planned to make her powerful but under his control, and then make her Cal’s mate so that she could control him. We’ve guessed at this before, but the more I hear the more I feel confident that this is what was going on. The problem is, he didn’t get to finish what he started,” Everett says, making me growl.“You mean he didn’t get to finish torturing her?” I snap.“No, Cal. Of course, that’s not what I mean. But based on what you’ve told me, she’s…unfinished. She’s two beings in one body that don’t know the other exists. She’s a split personality but with two truly different forms.”“And you don’t know if you can fix that?” my mother asks softly, her hand coming to rest on my arm. For her sake, I try to calm myself, although it’s not easy.“I won’t know unless we can bring her in.”“Well, Iniko won’t
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 15: Eliane
When I wake the next morning, I feel warm, warmer than usual and there is something hard pressing into my back.It takes a second for me to realize that it’s Iniko’s human form that has me so warm. He has his body practically draped over mine. And then my eyes go wide as I realize what is poking into my back. He may not be in his dragon form, but I’m pretty sure he’s aroused just lying here with me.I shift, trying to maneuver away from him. When I do, his arms wrap more tightly around me, his face burying itself in my hair.“Iniko,” I say quietly, not wanting to wake him up rudely. Instead of waking up, he presses the hard rod into my back, moaning softly.“INIKO!” I shout, jolting him awake as I leap out of his arms.“What? What….what happened?” he says, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.“You were practically laying on top of me. I couldn’t move,” I say.“Sorry,” he says, shaking his head. “I was having an incredible dream,” he says, smiling up at me.I look down. “Yeah, I can guess
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 16: Iniko
Maybe I was a little sneaky about getting Eliane into the water, but really, I’ve seen her naked many times. Granted, she’s right that I didn’t have a human form then, but now that I do, it’s better. We can be together as we were meant to be.We spend the afternoon bathing. I know Eliane is afraid of the water because she says she doesn’t know how to swim. However, she has control of water, it's one of her elements. Once we’re able to tap into that element, she won’t have to worry. But for today, I use her fear of the water as an excuse to hold her close, letting her wrap her legs around my waist as I take her deeper into the water.In her bag, she’s collected lilacs and flower petals. They give her daffodil scent a slight change for a short period of time, but they smell nice, so I use my earth element to grind them up and then I have her lean back in the water to wet her hair before massaging it into her hair and scalp.I love watching her as she closes her eyes, letting me shampoo h
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 17: Eliane
I have no idea what happened, no clue what Iniko saw in my mind that made him run away from me like that. I’d felt his pain, as if I’d stabbed him in his heart. I love him, I do. How would I even know if I loved him because of a mate bond or just because of who he is?Then I’d heard his dragon’s lament begin. I’d felt every emotion he’d been feeling, agony, betrayal, regret, fear. Fear for what he'd done. That, more than anything, caused me to sob as I listened to him crying.Then, something had happened, and it felt like he’d begun to numb our connection, like he did something so I couldn’t feel him any longer.“Iniko!” I called out, hoping that he’d hear me, hoping that my call would bring him home. But it didn’t and not long afterward, I lost all connection to him and his emotions.I cried myself to sleep, so horribly sad to have hurt my dragon like that, sad that I’m not what he thought I was. Hopefully, when he returns, we can talk about it so I can understand what I did wrong.At

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.
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 74: Eliane
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
Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon Chapter 72: Ishir
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
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 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 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
