It wasn't a second later when the front door opened and Azian walked in with his head bowed low, his golden locks pulled back when he looked up.
He was not surprised to see everyone in the kitchen, he had already sensed their auras way before he walked in, the ugly puddle of metal staring back at him too making him inwardly groan.
"Where were you?" Abigail asked eyes coming into contact with his.
He sighed noticing Ena and Maria were here which meant the meeting Anna had talked about was about to commence but not before a good lecture from Abigail.
Alpha growled in irritation, this was not appealing at all to him. Being summoned him like he was some baby.
He was a King and Kings were not summoned.
More powerful than any of them combined and he was tired and irritated at the moment. He decided for all three of them at the moment that whatever Abigail and her little gang had decided to say could wait till morning.
Kaya’s POV I woke up to the sun shining directly into my face and someone shaking my shoulder gently, I groaned squinting my eyes to block out the suns burning rays turning to find Ally's concerned face hovering over me. A look of relief washed over her face, "Good, you're up,” she huffed, taking a calming breath out, “I was starting to think you had died on me. Come on, get up, we're going to be late," she cooed, giving me a push which sent me rolling off the bed. I landed with a thud on the floor and groaned but pulled the blanket down with me creating my own little space on the floor, my hand reached up feeling for my pillow before grabbing it and pulling it down to me. I curled up on the floor and sighed closing my eyes in satisfaction before the blanket was ripped from me. "Kaya wake up! We’re going to be late!" "I'm not going to school, it's a Friday. Who cares about Friday? Let the weekend commence already!" I retorted.
Kaya’s POV The wind blew through the half-drawn car window, allowing me to take in fresh gasps of fresh air I so desperately needed. My heart was beating harder the closer I got to school, and I couldn’t stop my fingers from tapping so nervously on the side of my chair as Ally drove towards it. She turned to me, glancing down at my hand before I could feel her eyes on the side of my face, "Look, if you really feel like you don't want to be here, we can just go home. Like, if all this mate thing is too much on you…." She trailed off when I gave her a look, shaking my head. ”I'm here already and it's just like every other day, I can do this,” I stiffed back a reply, “.All I'm going to do is pretend I don't notice him as usual and he won't pay attention...as usual" I finished replaying the sentence in my head. "And...This is Azian we're talking about I suppose?" I gave her a glare and she chuckled, "I'm just messing with y
Kaya’s POV "Finders are the closest things to being completely human, in fact, I would say they are human. They only differ slightly in scent. There's is a little more unique than the average human." "Alright, so. What are these finders?" I asked, readjusting my position to listen better. "Well, they are practically descendants of old species. Most likely in the last two hundred years, they had an ancestor who was a part of the supernatural community. Mostly, these are witches in particular who decided to mate with humans. Sometimes Magic dies in family lines, especially when they continuously mix with those that are not their kind, in this case-humans. Blood is forgotten and they and their descendants fade into nothing. But of course, magic can never really be completely gone, that's why once every other generation from the descendants of every forgotten ancient blood, a finder, a glimpse, or a hunter is born." "What are those?" "It's not any
Abigail placed the last plate on the metal puddle they used to call a counter."I think we should eat in the dining room today,” Anna suggested taking the plates off before they could slip off the disfigured counter, with a sigh, before walking towards the dining room disappearing from view.Abigail sighed, folding her apron as Anna came back, "they're still upstairs?" Abigail asked but was interrupted when Alessia came strolling down the stairs with a bag pack slung around her shoulder.Anna folded her arms watching her daughter descend the stairs, "Alessia, did you forget we agreed on no school today?" She asked as Alessia kissed her cheek then Abigail's before taking a seat next to the melted countertop."No, of course not. I just thought since we're training all day, I should bring an extra pair of clothes, you know, just in case Azian decides to burn or Drown Khloe and we get scorched a little or wet in the process. I would like to be prepared,
Azians POVWe stared into her concerned pleading eyes.Alpha wasn't for it at all. He didn't like the plan and honestly neither did Omega and me. It seemed easier to just do away with her. Just one blast of fire is all it would take.But deep inside, all three of us knew that Abigail was right.She was much older than us and therefore, wiser. We needed to learn to think a little more like her. She was striving for a more long-term solution than the one of impulse rattling through our skulls at the moment.We really did have to think more of Kaya than of our rage. We were doing this for her.Edwin had taken it upon himself to spend the last two hours trying to discuss things over with me about Kaya and the plan and I had gotten a total of three things from his little lecture.Firstly, Abigail knew I had been seeing Kaya. I wasn't really surprised about this. It just seemed logical that she would have found out sooner or later.
AZIAN'S POVBefore I even had the chance to reply Omega had taken over, my eyes swarmed electric green as I came into eye contact with Abigail, her face morphing into shock as if she could read our minds.She probably could, Omega always left some sort of open connection between the two of them.The ground began to shift softly at first as if it was barely anything, then it began to shake, and shake it did. The trees began to sway as the wind began to blow fiercer.‘Agh well Abigail did say the air element as well right?’‘She did.’ Alpha replied not caring in the least about what Omega was doing. He seemed to be enjoying it actually.The birds began to fly away in flocks dimming the sky, with every shake of the earth. Then the ground cracked..."Uh… Azian!"" Abigail called her face in panic mode.‘Oh she didn't have to worry, she was perfectly safe. I eased rel
Azians POVI stood opposite Khloe.Don't kill her.She smiled at me.‘Do it.’ Alpha growled loudly.‘Yep, we're doing it.’ Omega purredTwo against one? Can't beat them join 'em right?"Alright! It's just simple one-on-one combat," Abigail announced sending me a glare that meant she had tracked Omegas's thoughts.She turned to Khloe, "thanks dear for stepping in against Azian. You are the only one who has a somewhat decent chance of going against him,” she let out a nerve-wracking chuckle, "don't worry dear, he won't hurt you because you're his mate. His dragon won't have the decency of doing anything to hurt you-" she eased.Khloe looked nervous.I wonder why.I threw her my best smile, "don't worry love, I won't hurt you. I scolded Omega and he feels really bad about what happened earlier," I expla
Azian had completely frozen in position for a total of thirty seconds, causing the rest of the gang to stare off in confusion. Abigail called out his name a few times but when nothing happened she walked toward him worriedly but took the same steps back when he suddenly burst into a fiery glow. An unearthly sound suddenly emerged from what seemed like nowhere, so high yet so shrill and loud. It reminded Abigail of the first time she had met Azian when he first froze time. His skin was glowing and underneath, much like the previous night, his veins began to glow, starting from his hands all the way up to his neck swerving around his closed eyes. Abigail gasped pulling Alessia behind her protectively watching as they glowed brighter underneath his skin. Khloe took a shaky step back, away from him, his heat swerved around him in waves. "Something is definitely not right!" Ena exclaimed her heart thudding as suddenly Azian was nothing but
------TEASERMy eyes traveled around the dark shadows of the throne room, aware of how of the steady beat of my heart, thumping deep inside me. My hand gripping the helm of the fire sword tightly.She is here. Alpha Stated anxiously on edge, Omega spread his magic around us feeling every corner of the stone walls, and the large pillars that held up the throne room."Azian?" A familiar voice whispered, but loud enough to leave an echo, causing my eyes to strain through the darkness, my golden lenses scanning the room until it rested on the outline of a rough fallen figure covered by crossing shadows as it sat at the feet of the throne."Kaya!" I called out immediately wanting to reach her, "Don't!" She yelled back her hand stretching out into the straying moonlight, and I faltered back when I saw the dark veins whispering inside her like poison, as she immediately pulled her hand back, a slight whimper escaping her lips.Edwin's hand c
Edwin watched Azian pace up and down in the kitchen worriedly, his frame was rigid and his jaw was clenched, worry lines all over his face. He had tried to speak before but Alpha had made it clear they didn't want to talk. He was seemingly still mad at him for not telling him about Legion. "Will you stop worrying? Kaya will be alright. You know Abigail knows what she's doing right?" He asked him. He only received a growl from Alpha completely shutting him up, his fiery golden eyes daring him to say another word. Edwin looked down at the counter, holding his tongue as Azian went back to pacing but it was only a few minutes later when he spoke again, "Seriously, you're giving me a headache, stop with the pacing, try to relax. " he tried again this time instantly regretting it. "DO NOT ASK ME TO BE CALM!" Alpha barked, his eyes glowing brightly. "Okay, okay, okay," Edwin replied quickly. Alpha pausing for a second before Azians t
Lillian paced in Kaya's room watching as Anna fluffed Kaya's pillow, relaxing her in her bed, the light burn on her shoulder, glowing brightly before disappearing as the dragon snorted. The doorbell suddenly rang and Aunt Lily froze, "that's her, that's got to be her,” she said full-on panicking, "what should I tell her? She won't believe anything I say! I'm screwed!" She grunted biting her lip, "if I tell her about witches and Lycan and dragons she will know I've lost my mind! And she wouldn't be far from the truth because I feel like it-" "Relax," Anna said rubbing her shoulder, as the doorbell rang again, Liam stood up, “Let’s just tell her Kaya isn't feeling well that’s it, she doesn't need to worry herself too much, at least not now," he said walking toward Lillian, "Come on, Gabrielle’s waiting." He said before heading out the door in a calm cool and collected manner. Lillian watched him shocked for a moment before she turned back to Anna, "you
"It's official," Liam began as he walked into the house with Lillian and Ally by his side, meeting the blank stares of the witches before him. "She's gone, poof! No trace of the witch! Not even her daughter! It's like she never was, even the pictures of her are missing,” Lillian said, "Good Morning,” she added looking around at the group, her eyes falling, and voice tripping at their expression, "no sign of Kaya and Azian yet?" She asked. Ena shook her head, "two days and still nothing,” she paused glancing over at them, "and of course Stephania won't be found, I'm sure she was gone long before we thought of her. She might not even be in this realm anymore." "Realm?" Liam echoed. Abigail ignored the question standing up, "Two days and no sign of Azian or Kaya, I'm getting worried." "W-what if they never come back?" Ally said, finally voicing the one fear she was afraid of "Don't say that, they’ll come back,” Lillian snapped back gl
The air seemed dark and stale, every Lycan in the vicinity had made themselves as scarce as they could if not called upon by their King. It was a dark day and no one wanted to be in the presence of Zerth at the moment. King Damian looked down at his son, his jaw clenched at the state of him, watching as he laid there unconscious, no sign of recovery in the long run, as would have happened had it been a mere cut or a stab like before. This time his face stuck in a painful expression that even if he hadn’t as much as opened his eyes yet, King Damian could feel Xeric howl deep within Legion, the pain a tingling sensation in his ears, his fists hard and clenched tightly, unable to take his eyes off the state of his son. The Dark covers were laid above him, stopping just below his shoulders and the large curtains were drawn to shield him from the sun. No one was allowed to see the Feared Prince of Lycan in this state. King Damian feared even he was never meant to see his
KAYA'S POV I gasped out suddenly realizing I had barely been breathing through that whole ordeal, "w-what was that, Azian?" I asked slowly, my heart beating soundly. "It's our bond" he began softly, "or do you mean that it's a dragon?" He asked again a little confused obviously. I turned to him sharply, overwhelmed "what do you mean bond?!" I asked my voice rising by the minute. He raised an eyebrow as if accepting some sort of challenge, a slight smirk on the corner of his lips "Bond Kaya, You like me don't you?" He asked. I huffed out at the sudden question, before shaking my head, "Azian I don't understand any of this! None of it is making sense to me? Why did you bite me?" He rubbed my shoulder, leaning forward, his lips skimming my neck causing my heartbeat to rise, his h
Kaya’s POVI shot up gasping for air, my head a buzzing mess and my heart thumping fast like it had just run a marathon. I tried to adjust my breathing, blinking fast as the blurry world around me suddenly took up a better shape.Light Blue walls came to my vision, my headache clearing slowly. I blinked again as if in a haze, eyes trailing around the room. It was very large which made me think it was definitely not my room.My eyes came into contact with a shadow by the window, running out of breath for a second, the sun's rays blocking his face from view. My breathing was low as I stared at it before a figure crossed my mind and a name to match it."Azian?" I whispered, my eyes squinting to see the form.It moved only slightly, its vo
"MOTHER!" Khloe screeched super speeding up the stairs, "you won't believe- Mother?" She asked as she spotted her mother lying on the floor. Panic flooded through her as she raced toward her, black dust covering the floor her mother was lying on. "Mother?!" She repeated as she crouched beside her. She was completely motionless. ***********Stephania suddenly woke up to find herself in a chair, her eyes shooting open, her gaze landed on her daughter. "Thank heavens!" Khloe said putting down the Smokey piece of sage she had in her hand. "T-The Spell, it g-gone" Stephania said looking at Khloe "What happened to your mother?" Khloe asked as Stephania rose to her feet. "I was over the box the one with the soul spell and it suddenly began to leak, blood, " she began looking at herself in both wonder and shock before turning to her daughter, "Then it just exploded and I felt like, it had taken some power out of me, with one strong punch, I
Liam listened to it all like it had been a movie at the back of his mind, memories flashed back as everything was explained. He had been used, taken away from those he loved, without a second thought. But that wasn't the worst part, his daughter, his life, had been taken from him. Lilian had held his hand through it all and he was glad she did although it looked like she was this close to bursting. "He's a dragon? The boy who was dating Khloe.” He repeated trying to let it sink in. "Yes, "Abigail replied,” dragons are shifters, they have a humanoid version unless of course the cursed ones or rogues simply put" she explained noticing his confusion, “And he was only dating Khloe because he thought she was his mate. Much like you, he was also under a spell, only one much more powerful," Abigail explained to him as Lillian took a sip of her hot coffee. "And a mate is more like a soul mate?" "In the
