Here you go, lovelies.
MADDOXI had been over the fucking moon when it came to being offered a slot at Inkfinity.Having a future and a dream was never something that I could allow myself to hope for as I got older. I had convinced myself that nothing good would ever happen to me. It was one reason why I sought instant gratification in all things.Everything changed when my path crossed with a certain green-eyed beauty. She came into my life like a cyclone, twisting, and turning it all upside down. It felt like I had always seen my life through frosted glass, but she buffered it so that I could see clearly.I remembered a quote from John Joseph Powell that really fit the shift in my life.‘It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.’Looking down at this amazing woman that I was lucky enough to be fated to, I would never be able to thank the Goddess enoug
MADDOX “Like you would ever let me forget about you,” she deadpanned. “I’m in need of some information that apparently only you would have. What do you say from leader to leader? Would you be willing to help out?” she asked hopefully. He hummed in thought and let out a soft chuckle after a moment. That made her pinch the bridge of her nose. I grabbed her hand and placed a kiss onto the back of it. That caused her to flash me a sexy smile. “I know what answers you need. I’ll come and give them to you, but I need you to do something for me. Keep your mate from destroying my handsome face. I’m still searching for my mates, and I don’t want the goods damaged. You never know when they will turn up. See you in a few.” She stared at the phone curiously once the call disconnected, clearly confused about his request. How did he know that she had met her mate, and why the fuck would he be worried about me attacking him? I was hotheaded at times but never attacked unless there was a good fu
KALENWho would have that that Kalamar would be intertwined in all of this already?Kalamar and I had met randomly one day, but perhaps it was fate after all. The Supernatural Council had get-togethers where leaders and future leaders of any species could attend and build connection.He stood apart from all of the rest. Some people had tried to speak with him, but I was the only one that he had opened up to. I had immediately deduced that he was a dragon, a powerful one at that, but I did not speak to him simply because of that but because of his personality.Kalamar was a perpetual flirt with certain individuals. I was one of them, but he knew that I was waiting for my mate. He had a short list of people that he could stand, and I was thankfully on that list.I knew that he was a dragon hybrid, but I never knew what type he was or his rank. Rank was never a concern of mine. He was going to become the King of his kind, bringing his people back into the light and out of the shadows. The
KALAMAR I was not the most personable individual. I cared about those who were close to me and who were genuine. I detested fakeness with a fucking passion. The day that I met Kalen, I knew that she was special. Not only was she genuine, but I could tell that she would be important in my future. Dragons often had a sixth sense. Mystic Dragons had an even stronger sense. I knew what was going on the moment that she called me. Our paths were converging in the most unexpected way. Maddox Stark, son of the illustrious Calvin Stark, was someone that I wanted to help but fate warned me against intervening. He would be freed when the time came all because of his mate. Santuario del fuoco was where our people came from. It was Italian for ‘Sanctuary of Fire’ and lived up to its name. My ancestors’ thunder was a home for those who needed it no matter what their species was. A dragon’s fire was one of the most potent defense mechanisms that it had. That was how the name came about. Our nu
KALENA lot of shit has happened lately. It seemed that there was always something drawing our focus, something else needed to be dealt with.Draxthi and Calvin needed to be dealt with, but we had to develop a concrete plan where we had the advantage. Each component was placed onto a metaphorical gameboard. It was necessary to figure out which ones needed to go where.Kalamar told me that there were fourteen dragons, six powerful witches, and three vampire/dragon hybrids that would be fighting along with us. That was great news because dragons were really damn lethal. Mystics would increase that lethality a lot. Plus, they were trained harshly because their lives were filled with danger.One vow that I made to the universe was that these people would find the peace that they deserved. I would do everything within my power to make that happen.Mystra’s thunder would also aid us. There were ten dragons from her thunder who would stand with us. There were many females who were expecting,
MADDOXI had a satisfied grin on my face as we made our way back to the suite.She was blushing her ass off, but I could feel her own satisfaction running through the bond. There was a naughty little minx inside of her that was gaining freedom the longer that we were together.Beauty always had to be in control at all times, knowing that she would become Dark Moon Alpha one day. There had been a heaviness that always pressed down upon her shoulders. Being a female Alpha made it necessary to develop a thick skin but also guard herself tightly. Now, she was learning how to spread her wings and fly, knowing that I would be right here to fly beside her. She was no longer alone. Yes, she had plenty of people growing up, but she never had a soul connection like we had – someone who saw all of her, accepted all of her, and loved the fuck out of every single bit of her.This was not the first time that we had been overheard and no doubt not the last time either. Could you really blame us thoug
KALENOur blissful break from school was over and done with. I would love nothing more than to test out of it just to escape the tsunami of rumors and drama. I had never been someone who enjoyed that type of chaos.Plus, there was plenty already on our plates to deal with. We had a homicidal lunatic on the run who was teaming up with demonic scum. They shared the same goal – total carnage so that only they remained on top.I was certain that Calvin was only a pawn to Draxthi and would kill him where he stood without a single fuck to give. However, that honor was reserved for either Maddox or me.Goddess, I could slice Calvin’s throat for what he had done to my mate over the years. Maddox never saw his strength. He felt broken and weak, which was exactly what Calvin wanted him to feel like because if he was then he would be pliable. He would be the perfect pawn to utilize when dirty work needed to be done. Only a strong warrior could have survived everything that he did.Since Maddox wa
MADDOXNika had opened up her mind to Neo when Kalen was confronting the dipshit bimbos because she knew that we would get a kick out of it. He had then opened up his mind to me as well. Goddess, it was so fucking satisfying to watch.They had been lying off of their asses. First of all, I had never gone down on anyone at this academy except for Beauty.I really hoped that she would enjoy the date tonight. I had put a lot of thought into it, and Neo gave his input. I would wine and dine her at some point, but our very first date was going to appeal to her competitive nature. It was not just paintball because that would be too easy. Nah, this was nighttime paintball. I had actually never played paintball, but I have heard that it was a lot of fun. Adding in the nighttime part of it all would make it even more interesting.I was talking to Cooper downstairs at the packhouse while I waited for Beauty to join me. Ever since that night at dinner, Cooper had warmed up to me because he came t
