First Dragon: Blood Ties Everything
Kal’s POV Spending time with my children was an incredible, out of this world experience!!! I wish it did not come under such dire circumstances that they were attacked and fought for their lives though. I wish I did not have to pretend as to whom I was to them. I wish their mother were alive!! Ever since I realized they were my children, there was something that has happened to me. The sheer thought of them both elated me and petrified me at the same time. I missed out on so much in their lives, and I swore I was not going to miss out on another second! And I would die making sure they were safe! “Nobody can hurt them now; our babies are under our protection!!!” Beast’s voice boomed as if daring somebody to try. He was right. I would sacrifice everything to protect my children! There were no two ways about it. I remember the times I teased my siblings and their devotion to their born offspring. I completely understand it now, and then some! Every time I saw Emma, she looked more

KAL POV “Everything??? Isn't that a bit of a broad-spectrum statement Mom???!!! Are you overstating???” I chuckled and laughed at her words, but I was concerned because everything from my mother’s perspective, was exactly that. EVERYTHING!!! My mother literally knew everything given that she created the world, so what was everything that she wanted to tell me???? Anxiety and fear grappled me as I looked into her eyes, studied her face. She looked around my office, as if she were seeing it for the first time. It was always kept impeccably clean and decorated with the latest styles, although I liked to keep a thing or two from the past. Spacious windows were looking over the Los Angeles skyline and the ocean in the distance, casting a beautiful image.“It looks kind of bare here…”, she observed. Priceless art was hanging on the walls of this space, including some of the original statues made by famous creatures and human artists. I was not sure what she meant. “I assure you a lot of car

Kal’s POV “This is not your decision to make, my dearest child”. “I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LEAVE!!!”, I roared now. I am the First Dragon, ruler of this realm and, mother or not, you will have to listen to me!!” I knew the power she wielded, but I also knew that she willingly submitted herself to my authority, making sure that there would be no division in the ranks, no factions, that my rule would go unchallenged by any of her supporters. I knew that - she knew that. She never meddled much, but I looked to her for advice and guidance on a regular basis, especially after Catherine died. She was there to bring me back from the depths of depression when that happened. A small smile crossed her face. “You were always fierce, my son! Always loyal to those you love. I knew you were so very special, the first time I laid my eyes on you, all those years ago, on this very beach. Do you remember it?” I knew what she was doing. Ever so gently, she was reminding me of her powers, and of the fac

Cassius POV My mate’s smell and kiss were still driving me crazy, even after I left him… I was picturing his eyes, his gentle smile, touch of his hand, and all I could do is think of him and pine over him.. I never knew mate bond was this strong. I never realized how empty and lonely I was, how shallow my life had been before I met Leo. But also, with Marcus’ new revelation, I was concerned. Dragons – born ones, did not have to abide by the mate pull, or quite frankly any rules of our realm. Considered apex of our species, the rules did not apply to them. The only other kind that rules of mate bonds were different for were Tribrids, but they were even more unique and hard to find. Most other creatures, including dragons made, followed and were bound to follow the mate bond and all the expectations that came with it. Dragon born, had a luxury of knowing a mate bond, but having an option to follow it or not, deny it or not, without any pain or consequence if they opted not to choose the

Kal POV Mother was still skipping happily around the beach, looking like a little girl, with not a care in the world. I was overwhelmed by emotions, confusion, and a sheer sense of impending doom of some kind. Something else was wrong and I could not shake the feeling. Thoughts of Mother not being on this plane were petrifying me. I did not know how and what to think of this, and ever since she said it, it felt as if somebody grabbed my heart with an iron fist and was not letting go, squeezing the life out of it. The knowledge that she had of my marriage to Catherine was new to me. I thought it was a well-guarded secret. We took every precaution, I thought to myself – apparently, I was wrong. “You know Mother knows everything”, Beast said softly. “She knew of our children, even before we did,” he continued. Not making much fuss, Beast was unusually quiet upon realization of all Mother and I discussed earlier. I expected him to roar or act out, yet he was quiet, which was very strange

Amelia POV The trip to see my father did not go exactly as planned. I felt as if everybody could see through me, as if everyone knew of my betrayal. After my recovery with much help from my sister-in-law, Lady Nasrin, I did manage to have a much-needed discussion with him – the main reason I wanted to see him. I recalled the prophecy – the prophecy of born dragons, born of human – twins. The prophecy also spoke of the great danger. The twins had ability to destroy our world, and everything in the process, and based on the earlier vision, I was afraid that this is exactly what was going to happen. In addition, prophecy spoke of love and the three-fold energy that would usher the time of peace, stability and finally bring balance to the species, and happiness to the realm. I did not know why but I felt that had something to do with First Dragon and his interest in two humans. Father did not seem phased or really surprised. He listened to me carefully, but somehow, I felt his eyes were

Lord Alwyin POV Watching my precious daughter leave on Ying hurt my heart, yet again. Knowing that she betrayed us was painful. It was almost unbearable, and I was, in a way, grateful she did not stay long, as I was not sure how much longer I would be able to continue this charade, how much longer I could keep up the pretense. “My Queen???”, I mind linked my mate and wife, Lady Sahar – Amelia’s mother. “I am in the drawing room”, she said, expectantly. After all this time, this woman knew me, loved me, and was excited to see me as I was her. She was my one true love. One of my powers was teleportation – I could move through space and at that moment, I did not feel like seeing anyone but my wife, so I decided to shimmer to the drawing room. I needed her scent, her soft embrace, her eyes, her smile. And I needed to talk to her.. I needed to break her heart and confirm what her prophecies had foretold – that our own child would betray us – that she would be the downfall of the supernatu

Emma POV The voice in my head and conversations with her have started becoming more frequent, almost like a regular thing – a few times a day at least. While I was initially apprehensive, I grew fond of this voice, of her advice and friendship. In all fairness, somehow through it all, she became my sounding board in the way. However, I was worried. The voice appeared after the explosion, and I did not know if I was suffering some serious medical issue – hallucinations perhaps, or was it because of the medication I was on. I was simply concerned, even though I appreciated her, I was still struggling to understand if she was real or not. Her advice was yet to be wrong. . She was encouraging, as a mother or friend, and I was starting to get very attached to her. Was I bipolar??? Did I have a split personality disorder??? And if so, how come these things did not happen until now??? I was confused, fearful and very scared. Leo was sitting across from me, reading a magazine. I decided to t

First Dragon: Blood Ties My Name Is Tariq
Leo POVThe night with Cassius was beyond words.. Beyond comprehension. I had never known love like this was possible, never knew that I could open up my heart to that extent. I did not even know that I had room for such love, that I was capable of such love. The only love up to this point in my life, the only belonging I felt was to my only family – my sister Emma. However, now, I understood that there are different kinds of love, that different possibilities existed within me, that I was capable of more, worthy of more, able to do everything, powerful enough to balance my life, and finally, my whole self. For the first time in my life, I felt complete. I did not know how to explain it. Being orphaned, Emma and I always missed that familial connection, that Sunday lunch with family, those kisses and hugs from your mom or dad, the way your parents smell, the way they smile at you.. The ways you will mess up and they will pretend to scold you, only to teach you about life, yet love you
First Dragon: Blood Ties Going Somewhere?
Emma POVThese people were crazy! Totally and absolutely bat-shit crazy!!! There was no other explanation – no other possibility. Somehow, when I accepted the job opportunity with Mr. Locke, I somehow walked into a world of crazy people, a world of strange events and strange individuals, a world which almost seemed like an alternate reality. I should have known that all of this would have been too good to be true - regardless of their obvious support and well-wishes. It has become clear that whomever mysterious Ro is or was, that she was likely onto something, and her warnings obviously warranted. I should have listened when I had a chance, I really should not have been swayed. If only I had trusted Ro and Myra, I would have already been gone, safely somewhere with Leo, away from these crazy, cult-like people. Dear God, what did I get myself into???I felt a great sense of frustration, unease and felt completely stupid for trusting them, trusting them with my brother, trusting them wi
First Dragon: Blood Ties HE IS WHAT?
Angela’s POV “Was she going into heat??? Or shifting???” Celia asked the same questions that were stuck in my mind as well. The three of us were sitting in a lounge sipping tea after Emma’s episode. She was strong, much stronger than we anticipated and in a state that we did not understand fully. Dr Sina was thinking. He had this habit of rubbing his chin whenever he was in deep thought, and by the looks of his behavior, he was definitely going to rub some skin off his face. Looking at us both with his soulful, wise eyes, he nodded at first, getting up and starting to pace around, obviously stressed out. “It is possible. It certainly felt as if she was about to do both, and had we not injected her, chances are she would have become a full-blown dragon, likely leveling the hospital down, killing everyone in it”, he replied gravely. The confirmation did not surprise me. However, things were not adding up. Usually, she-dragons would go into heat once she found her mate. Dragons went int
First Dragon: Blood Ties What Kind Of A Dream?
Emma POVThe anxiety and heat within me subsided gradually, but the sense that I felt complete, where I was discovering something new stayed with me – even in the darkness of my dream. However, I was not sure if I could call this a dream. Once Dr. Sina injected something into me, the darkness claimed me. However, I did not sleep. Fully alert as if I was awake, I started moving toward a sensual scent, a scent of pinecone and berries, a scent that was pulling me in a very specific direction. All my senses were enhanced, and I could feel everything around me.“There you are!!”, I heard the now familiar voice of the mystery man in my dreams. His strong arms were wrapped around my waist tightly, while he pulled me to him from behind. I still could not see his face, but his scent, and the sense of familiarity, sense of knowing this person, and sense of belonging were overpowering me. It felt right to be in his arms. I felt happy.His warm breath was on my neck, his soft, warm lips gently ki
First Dragon: Blood Ties Darkness
Emma POVMy heart was full for Leo. He had found him a man, a person to love him the way he deserved, the person to hold him, wipe his tears away when the skies go dark and cold, the person to make him laugh. He found his true love, or as the voice of my other-self within me said – his mate. Somehow, in my heart I knew this from the first time I ever saw Cassius. Everything within me screamed family, screamed recognition, screamed belonging, and the clarity hit me - as if I could see their life before them, their love and their day unfold. When Cassius called me to get advice as to how to set up a romantic date and dinner for Leo, I was only too happy to oblige. Plus, planning a romance took me away from dark thoughts about Mr. Locke, dark doubts and fears that were currently plaguing my mind. I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, as Leo suggested. I knew that life sometimes turns good people into bad ones. However, all that I have seen in the files could not be justifie
First Dragon: Blood Ties He Was Gone
Lord Alwyin POVSo.. It was true. The prophecy of Amelia’s betrayal had come to pass. My wife and I had held on all this time, and tried our very best, including extreme measures to somehow offset and change her fate. Alas, what Lord Krimus had reported was dire. Aramah was back. And not just Aramah, its Queen Witch, Verena. I felt like I was in hell, betrayed by those closest to me, namely my child. I knew that in her own mind she held justification of what had happened, justification I could not negate, given that she thought her mate Darius was dead at my hands. When I saw her last, I could sense her anger and hatred towards me. At this point, she had hated me so long, that it was likely hard to pinpoint the origin of when that had begun.Xidna was a whole other story, her demands and her threats something completely else. I knew that I failed her, and whatever she had planned for us, was entirely my own fault. In truth, I should have known better. I should have known that she wou
First Dragon: Blood Ties City Lights
Leo POVI had no words for what just happened. I had no explanations, no prior understanding, just the raw unbridled emotion cursing through my body, pure pleasure and euphoria. And another feeling which dominated every ounce of my being. Cassius was MINE!!! MINE ALONE!! I heard the grumble in my chest, the determination of those words. I had not spoken them as of yet, but my whole being was screaming that this was my guy, my person, and my love. MINE. And MINE ALONE! There was something that happened to me the moment he kissed me, the moment he fell on his knees. The moment of recognition of some kind, somehow, someway, I knew, without a shred of a doubt, that he was my soulmate, my everything, and the only person other than Emma that I would give my life for. The veracity of those feelings hit me unexpectedly, yet not irrationally. Right before he showed up in my life, things were different. And now, with him here, and what just happened, I found myself in a vortex of emotion, stood
First Dragon: Blood Ties Date (Part 2)
Cassius POVI wanted tonight to be perfect. I called Emma in advance to learn more about Leo’s favorite foods, what he liked to drink, even what kind of flowers he liked. I realized that they came from humble backgrounds, and I desperately did not want to be a show-off, but at the same time I wanted to give him the world – everything I had, my heart included, already belonged to him anyway. I also had a surprise help from an unexpected source. His friend Theo, who worked at the garage with him, was there when I went to see Albert and asked discretely about him. Somehow, he overheard our conversation and decided to chime in and share that Leo’s dream car was a Mercedes G63, and I decided to buy him one as a present. The car I drove tonight was Leo’s and I hope he liked it. I was going to give it to him at the end of our date as a gift – I did not want to have him apprehensive during dinner. “We do not need to throw wealth in Leo’s face, Cassius. He is not like that”, Marcus advised. I
First Dragon: Blood Ties Date (Part 1)
Leo POVCassius’ phone call was exciting. He said he had planned a special date for us, and I felt as if I was walking on clouds. My stomach tightened just at the sound of his voice, and I grew weak in my knees thinking of his plump, gentle lips, his chiseled jaw, and body the Gods themselves would be jealous of. My favorite thing about him was his smile. When he smiled at me, I felt like the only person in the world. That smile reached into the depths of my soul and touched my heart. Every time I heard his voice, my stomach and chest would both flutter as if dozens of butterflies danced around it. Timing worked out great - with Mr. Locke rescheduled the dinner. I had time to have my date with Cassius.Emma’s words and files I read weighed heavily on me. However, somehow, I was willing to give Mr. Locke the benefit of the doubt. Somehow, the timing of all this seemed too perfect, and too coincidental, and I was not a man that believed in coincidence. Moreover, the voice, my inner voic
