Gaia POV.I hate knowing things that I shouldn’t, but what do I do? Do I tell her the truth or just leave her to find out on her own? I groan as I pull my hand down my face. Sitting on top of the mountain looking out over the world.This place is my sanctuary when shit hits the fan. This is where I like to come to think and release the thoughts that plague my mind. Mainly the situation with Asteria.Rosa and Charlie’s situation well ties in with Asteria’s. Why is this so complicated?“I don’t think we should tell her.” I sigh. Is she for real right now?“Explain why we shouldn’t. Asteria is our family, maybe not by blood, but still. Wouldn’t you want to know the truth? What about Rosa?” I say to Kodiak, who sits beside me as we look out at the calm world below us.“I think Lycaon is right. Asteria needs to fall in love with this human first, then she will see they are not all bad. She needs to give him a chance before she condemns him and his species to death. As for Rosa, once Asteri
Gaia POV.Walking towards my father’s office, I still don’t know what he wants to talk to me about. So I am utterly clueless and don’t know if I need to approach with caution or if he is just being a dick. Either way, I will not let it show that this is making me nervous.Knocking on the door, I know he isn’t alone. I can scent Helios and Xander in there with him.“Come in Gaia.” I gulp and take a calming breath as I plaster a smile on my face and open the door. Walking in, I see my dad sat at his desk and Helios and Xander are sitting in front of him. Nicholas is sitting on the sofa. Why didn’t I scent him? Oh, the sneaky bastard was cloaking his scent. Why didn’t I do that? Stupid Gaia.“You said you wanted to speak to me? So what is it, dad?” I say as I stand there, watching him as the knuckleheads turn and smirk at me. Oh, fuck no!“Come and sit next to me,” Nicky says through the link, and I move to sit next to my twin brother. He smiles at me before turning his attention back to
Calista POV.The thing I love about pups is that they are always eager to learn and have fun. That is what we try to do when we train them to defend themselves. Here and at Venom Fang, they start young. Some would say too young. Well, I disagree. You are never too young to learn.Gods, when I was younger all those many moons ago, we weren’t taught like this, no we were thrown into a pit and made to fight to survive. They were savage times back then, and I’m glad none of these little pups will ever have to endure that. I will always remember the smells and the sounds of being inside the pit. I shudder as I look out over all the pups as they run and play with a small smile on my face. Times have changed and I’m grateful they have.When my pup is old enough, he will be trained in the same way as these pups but something is telling me he will need training early and it will be need to be more vigorous than what we do now, we will wait and see though.The pups start when they are five, how
Gaia POV.The pain rips my stomach apart at his words as I pant my fangs elongated as he called Rosa a mongrel. I stand up as I crack my neck as I look at him. Blood trickles down my leg and my nose.“As you wish. You have just sentenced the pack to death. When the war happens, you are on your own. As for always bailing me out. Don’t forget it was me who saved your fucking life when we were pups. I should have let you die.” I spit on the ground as I lick my lip.“Come on. We are leaving.” I stagger, holding my belly when I fall. Just before I hit the ground, I’m hauled up in Leo’s arms and we turn and leave.“Gaia, wait, please. Don’t do this. Let us make sure you are ok.” My mom runs towards me as Calista takes Rosa from her and we open a portal. Fuck this.“I’m sorry, mom. I love you. Take care of Sofia.” I say as I nod as Leo walks with me in his arms into Hell.“Gaia, stop. You are breaking the laws. If you do this, then I can’t help you.” My dad screams as my other dad holds him
Gaia POV.“Ok, that’s the last of it.” Gabe says from the hallway in our new home. Selene and Xena went to Dark Moon to collect are things. Mainly clothes and our ID. The mansion is beautiful.The mansion is a blank canvas. The walls are white, sleek, and modern. The flooring is white marble with swirls of black on each slab.The living room is fully furnished with comfy, soft chenille sofas in a pale grey. A large 75 inch TV is hung above the fireplace. Area rugs in grey on the floor.There is another living room across the hallway with the same furniture but without the TV. The kitchen is my favourite place so far. It has all the modern gadgets and gizmos. A large full range cooker and oven. The counter tops and island are all white quartz with flecks of glitter in them. The fridge freezer is huge. Then again, I suppose, being a dragon’s mansion, everything is massive.There are seven bedrooms and two bathrooms, all the bedrooms have en suites. Xena said we can do what we want with
Leo POV.We have been in the new house a few days now and I will say this; it is beautiful and peaceful. The neighbours don’t seem too bad and we are going to a BBQ that the neighbour called Nancy invited us all to today.It will be nice to meet other people and to get to know the dragons. It’s strange, as we are the only wolves that we know of here. But then again, shifter species aren’t just paired to their own, so we never know there could be other wolves here and if there are, then we will need to inform them that they are not to let any others know where we are.Gaia needs to rest and the drama with Nicholas has really upset her, not that she will admit it, but we all feel it through the bond. She told us what went down and why, and I wanted to go to him and tear him a new asshole for what he did. I agree with Gaia, though he is a hypocrite and not because she is my mate, but because it’s the pot calling the kettle.Total asshole.At first we could understand why he lost his cool
Gaia POV.“I have known Jonah since I was a pup. Your king, Dragus, is my uncle. The battle we just fought against Morgana, Jonah was there with other dragons.” I say to her as I look at my mates from the corner of my eye and they breathe a breath of relief. Well, Calista doesn’t, because he knows Jonah too.Oh, sweet mother of mercy. They thought I was going to say I’ve slept with him! So much for trust.“Ohhhh, wait. King Dragus is your uncle? You’re not a dragon.” I smile at Nancy as I nod my head. I go to speak when Calista does it for me.“Dragus is mated to Xena who is family to us through Gaia’s father. That is how Gaia knows your king and queen.” I wink at him with a small smile as I look at the other three and they look ashamed. So they should.“Oh, who is your father?” she asks curiously as she looks at me closely.“Fenrir is my father.” I tell her and the noise stops and I feel like I’ve said something wrong.“As in the God Fenrir? The twin of the Moon Goddess?” she asks in
Gaia POV.“Look Gaia, I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry.” Leo says so a sorry is going to make this better, ha he is delusional if he thinks that will work.“Sorry doesn’t cut it. If you didn’t mean it, you wouldn’t have said it. So it seems that you can’t handle my past? That’s fine. You all knew what I was when you all accepted the mate bond. So what changed? Could it be that what Nick said is true and you agree with him? Or is it the fact that maybe you where expecting your fated to be pure and a virgin? Well, newsflash, I was neither and I wouldn’t change it if I could.” I say to them and Leo looks pissed off but screw him. He wasn’t pure either, so it looks like I’m dealing with more hypocrites and they can seriously fuck off.“Ok, you want to do this. Then fine. Tell me, Gaia, how many people, shifters, whatever have you slept with? What about the three warriors this afternoon? How many times did you scream their names? Come on.” I chuckle, shaking my head. Oh boy. Is he in for a shoc
