Anila’s POVA part of me wanted to go back to the school and make sure Damien was okay. The hurt look in his eyes, when he looked at Sarah, tore my heart out and ripped it into pieces. But there was an even bigger part of me that needed to calm Harley down. I wasn’t sure if he was in control yet or not, but I knew he was struggling since Sarah nearly killed me with that spell.I could feel the tension of his bear as we strolled through the woods. He was running for a short while, but then he slowed to a walk. I kept my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist, but I lifted my head from the back of his neck and
Anila’s POVI’m unsure when I fell asleep, but I woke up when the sun was still up, wrapped in Harley’s arms. He somehow transported us from the couch and into a bed. It wasn’t Xaden’s room though; no, this smelled like Harley’s room. But we were still in the cabin.His arms were wrapped around me, and my face was buried in his very naked and broad chest. I took him in, loving the view. He was sound asleep, light snores coming from his nose, making a smile tug at my lips.I kissed his chest gently and started to g
Damien’s POVWhen I saw Anila dangling in the sky, unable to breathe, and then my eyes found Sarah who was clutching her wand and pointing it at Anila, I was seeing fucking red. I had never felt anger quite like that before. I was usually the calm and collected one; I never lost my temper, but lately, Sarah had been bringing out that nasty side of me and all I wanted to do was make her suffer at that moment.I grabbed my wand and released Sarah’s spell on Anila before Sarah even saw me coming. I could see the fury in Sarah’s eyes as she stared at Anila, but then when I came into view and made myself known to her,
Anila’s POV“Tonight, we will be having class outside in the open field,” Professor Howl announced.Murmurs erupted around the class; excited whispers as everyone tried to figure out why we would be having classes outside. I looked at Damien who didn’t look as shocked as everyone else and something told me that he already knew what we were doing.“Professor Howl, why is that?” A girl asked in the back of the classroom; her hand was raised as she spoke.
Anila’s POVI knew Damien was yelling my name, but I couldn’t hear anything over the sounds of my own screams. I was going through the air so quickly that my entire heart was practically in my chest. Everything around me had turned into such a blur and I thought for sure I was going to fall off this damn thing.I gripped the broomstick so tightly with both my hand and my thighs. My entire body shook in fear as the broom zoomed around the perimeter of the school. I screamed so loud my voice had become raw.I could hear Professor Howl&rsqu
Anila’s POV“It’s not funny, Harley!” I said, folding my arms across my chest as I sat across from him at a table in the student lounge.We met up after I left the clinic; Damien agreed to help me with my flying lessons and prepare me for the challenges, but we weren’t going to start until tomorrow night. I’ve had enough flying for one day. Hell, I’ve had enough flying for a lifetime, but it didn’t seem like I was going to get out of it that easily.I just finished telling Harley everything that happen
Anila’s POV“So, what’s it like being bonded with two guys at once?” Becca asked, staring at me from across the library table with large and curious eyes.I looked up from my history book, frowning. We made it a whole 10 minutes of studying before she decided to ask me that question.“I thought we were here to study for our history test tomorrow?” I asked, slightly teasing.She shrugged.
Xaden’s POV“Where the hell have you boys been?!” Father growled as we walked into the Alpha house. “I called you two hours ago.”“We had to speak with Principal Rapport and get our affairs in order first,” I answered for the both of us.“When I call for you, I need you to be here immediately. This isn’t a joke. You are the future Alpha and there is a battle going on. The pack expects you to be present for them.”“Yes,
Anila’s POVI’m not sure how long I had been out, but when I woke up, I was no longer in the burning towns. I was lying in a fairly comfortable bed in a familiar room.“Oh, good. You’re awake,” Nurse Lorelei, the head nurse at Lunar Academy, said with a smile.“I’m back at school?” I whispered, my voice sounding unfamiliar and hoarse. My body was stiff as I attempted to move, but I didn’t feel any actual pain.“You were brought back a few days ago. You were sleeping ever since that battle,” she said sighing. “I heard quite the story about you. I must say, word had gotten around quickly.”My cheeks flushed at her words.Everyone knew what had happened? “Anila,” I heard my name from the doorway as Xaden walked into the room. “We could feel that you were awake through the bond.”I smiled weakly at him an
Anila’s POVEverything around me started to fade away as the battle continued in the sky.It was Ember and me, vs the Alpha King and about 3 of the dragons.The glow of the Dragon Stone was wedged in his chest, pulsating with each beat of his heart. That dragon stone was the reason he was like this… it was the reason all of this was happening in the first place.If only I could get it, I could put an end to all of this.He would be powerless.The King swiped at me with his large claws; he managed to get my arm, and I hissed in pain, grabbing the sore spot on my arm. For a second, I had a moment of panic. When Xaden got scratched by a dragon, it put him in a coma.But when nothing happened, I felt a sense of relief.However, I did almost fall off Ember entirely, but thankfully she prevented me from falling. I did get a good look at the ground though and I saw that people were still being ushered und
Anila’s POVThe house was on fire when I reached it. There was rubble everywhere and something was blocking the front door from opening. I barely recognized the place because of all the ash and rubble that surrounded the yard. I felt no attachment to being back at this house, nor did I feel any remorse over the fact that it was burned to the ground. I didn’t really care about any of that; it was no longer my home.My home was where my mates were and that was the place I longed to be at last.I gave up on the door and tried a window instead. Thankfully, it wasn’t locked, and I was able to get into the dark home. I nearly was choked out by the amount of smoke and soot in the air. Instead of staying in human form, I decided to strip out of my clothes, throwing them outside so I would have them later, and then I shifted into my wolf. Even in my wolf form, it was difficult to breathe, but at least I was lower to the ground my wolf&r
Anila’s POVEmber was going faster than I had ever known her to go. Then again, I’d never ridden on her before because the last time I saw her, she was only a baby. She also knew exactly where she was going without even looking at the other dragons. We weren’t riding with a saddle, which was also weird, but oddly enough, I felt secure on Ember’s bare back.Jaxon sat behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist and my back was pressed into his broad chest, so there was that extra layer of protection as well.“We need to protect the humans because they are defenseless,” I told him; he nodded in agreement.“We should get them under the ground,” he said. “If there are any sewers or anything. It’s safer for them.”I wasn’t going to argue with that; as long as the humans were safe, that was all that mattered. As we neared the human nation, my heart started to sink. I
Anila’s POVWhile I was engulfed in the dark woods, I grabbed my wand out of my boot and cast the spell for light to light the area up so I could see better. I had my wolf and bear sight, but it was still difficult to see the items I was looking for. I wanted to refrain from shifting right now because I wanted my animals to be well-rested and prepared for when I needed them the most.Besides, most of the others hadn’t shifted. Some of the bird shifters did, but aside from that, everyone was wandering around different sections of the forest in their human forms.“Don’t overthink it,” I heard Zach’s voice in my head through our mindlink. I paused at the sound of his voice and looked around, wondering if he was nearby. It made him chuckle which solidified that he could see me.“Where are you?” I asked him out loud.“I’m not near you. I’m still where you left me. But I c
Anila’s POV“The competition is in a couple of hours. What exactly are we going to do with a dragon?” Zach asked. He was now leaning against the wall on the far side of the dorm room, his arms folded around his chest as he watched the dragon intently.“Yeah, what are we doing with it?” Sage asked, narrowing her eyes at me.“Her name is Ember,” I scolded, rolling my eyes as I ran my hands down Ember’s head.“What are we supposed to do?” Penny asked with a timid frown on her lips.I turned towards Ember and pressed my forehead against her as I whispered, “Go find Jaxon.”She closed her eyes, taking in my words, and then without another word she turned towards the window which was still open, and she took off.“Be careful! Don’t be seen!” I whispered-yelled.“This is a really bad idea,” Sage said, folding her arms
Xaden’s POV“What do you think this is about?” Harley asked as we approached the conference hall for Alphas. It was outside of all territories and rarely used except for meetings that included all Alphas for both bear and wolf shifters. We only had a meeting that concerned everyone when it was an emergency.Whatever this was about, I knew that it wasn’t going to be good.“I guess we will find out,” I murmured as we approached the hall that led to the meeting room.“Where the hell have you two been?” My father asked as he stormed towards us. “We had been waiting for you.”“Sorry, Dad. You called when we were at school. Took us some time to get here,” I told him as we went towards the doors together.“This is an emergency, Xaden. You should have run faster in wolf form,” he muttered, then he froze and sniffed the air, narrowing his eyes at me,
Anila’s POV“Holy fuck,” Zach breathed, pushing me the rest of the way into the room and shutting the door behind us. The window was wide open, so I knew the dragon didn’t just walk in through the door.I was too frozen to say or do anything except gawk at the big dragon that sat in the middle of the dormitory. Sage and Becca were on the couch while Sadie and Sally were across the living room, staring at the dragon with big and worried eyes. Penny was the only one who didn’t seem afraid; she was standing closer to the dragon, and she looked a bit sheepish.“I can’t believe you let that thing in here,” Sally said, hiding behind her twin.Penny frowned and folded her arms across her chest.“She was wandering around outside. What was I supposed to do? Let her get hurt? The hunters wouldn’t let her live if they found her.”“Why do we care what happens to a dragon, Pen?” Sally asked, her frown deepening as she glared at Penny from across the room. “She’s a freaking dragon!”“And she’s harm
Anila’s POVI was so exhausted after taking all my mates at once that I nearly passed out after my orgasm. Once they were out of me, they cleaned me up and then cleaned up our mess from the picnic. I used Harley as a bed as I curled up against him, pressing my head against his chest. We were all still naked, except for Damien who had got dressed right after.I thought there would be a bit of awkwardness between them afterward, but there wasn’t. In fact, they all acted as if they were friends for a long time. Even Damien was joining them with some jokes and laughing. I was too tired to engage in conversation and Harley kept his warm arms around my body, pressing me further into him. His fingers traced my spine gently, sending goosebumps around my body.Once everything was clean, Harley stood, lifting me into his arms. We went towards Xaden’s cabin so we could rest for the night. I made it clear that I didn’t want any of my mates to go anywhere else. I needed them tonight because I had
