Azura-“What made you think that this was okay?” The familiar sound of Jade’s voice pulled me from what felt like a dense fog.I wasn’t sure what was going on, but I knew that I was lying on a bed. The last thing that I remember was… Wait, what did I remember? I recollected lying down about to fall asleep, when… I tried to remember, but nothing came to mind.It was weird, but without opening my eyes, I knew I was in the bedroom that I had been staying in and that Jade was sitting on the bed next to me. With a little more concentration, I also knew that Kellan was standing at the foot of the bed. I could sense that he was glaring at Cyran, who was leaning against the wall next to the head of the bed.I didn’t know how I knew that, but I did. My eyes were undeniably closed, as I could not see anything but darkness. In a sense, it was like I could just sense them. I could also feel Cyran looking at me, but I couldn’t tell what kind of expression he had.No one was making a sound and I wa
Cyran POV- I wanted to wring that pretty little neck of hers. When I left her room, I started toward my room, only to alter my course. If I didn’t get as far away from her as possible right now, I was going to kill her myself. Making my way down the stairs, I went outside and in a fit of anger, kicked over the grill. “Hey! Why take out your frustrations on the grill? I bought it.” Kellan rushed to the grill and picked it up, examining it in the process. “Then buy a new one.” I spit out as I made my way to the pool. If I didn’t release some of this anger inside me, I was going to become destructive. “It is fine, nothing a little glue can’t fix.” I didn’t bother with a response. Pulling my shirt over my head, I tossed it to the ground, before unbuttoning my jeans. After pushing them off and kicking them to the side, I paused at the edge of the pool. Looking over my shoulder at the house, my eyes landed on Azura’s bedroom door. With windows making up seventy percent of the house, I
Cyran POV-Making my way downstairs, I noticed that Kellan had already made food and there were two plates on the table. Thinking that he made one for me and him, I sat down in front of one of the plates. As I picked up my fork and stabbed it into a carrot slice, I stopped when Kellan threw a paper towel at me.“You aren’t eating a damn thing until you bring Azura down to eat. Have you forgotten she hasn’t eaten in a few days?”Turning my attention to the plate next to me, I frowned. What did I care if she didn’t eat? If she was hungry, she can march her ass down to eat. It wasn’t my responsibility to take care of her. Rolling my eyes, I was about to eat the food on my fork but froze.Essentially, it was my responsibility. I was the one keeping her here against her will and I had also marked her against her will. Also, as the Guardian of the Dragon Stone, it was my duty to make sure that she was taken care of.Groaning, I dropped my fork on my plate and pushed away from the table. Tak
Azura-I wasn’t sure what I was more impressed with, the fact that I fell asleep on my own accord or that I hadn’t been drugged or something due to Dragons. After going upstairs, the only time I came out of my room was to use the bathroom, which I had to locate on my own. I spent the rest of the day reading Cyran’s books.There were fifty-four books altogether and I only managed to read part of the first book before falling asleep. This time when I read his book, I paid closer attention to the story he was telling. Now that I knew it wasn’t just a story he created in his head, I noticed more details.The first book didn’t have a female lead in the book like the others did. It told the story of his origins. About how he grew up and before he became the Dragon King. The story also talked about how there was a Legend about the Keeper of the Dragon Stone, which I paid extra attention to.All Dragons are told about the Keeper of the Dragon Stone, as it is the duty of a Dragon to keep the S
Azura-Forty minutes after Cyran went upstairs, he returned just as the woman set two plates on the table. It was a shame that Cyran returned with a shirt because I had to admit that the sight of him without one was enjoyable. I noticed that his mood had changed as well, reminding me that he was bipolar.“Come eat.” He ordered as if I were some sort of dog that would do what they were told.I thought about telling him off, but my stomach betrayed me before I could. To make it known that I wasn’t listening to him willingly, I grumbled as I made my way to the table. Sitting down at the table, I began eating immediately.“Well, that isn’t very nice. The least you could do is thank her for cooking before you start plowing food into your mouth.”With a mouth full of eggs, I looked up at Cyran who happened to be glowering at me. Chewing what was in my mouth, I forced myself to swallow. Gripping my fork tightly in my hand, as if I were holding a knife, I wondered if I could move fast enough
Azura POV-Working alongside them, I kept trying to think of a way to get away without them noticing. On occasions, I would glance at Kellan to see if he was starting to suspect anything. With his ability, I wouldn’t put it past him to start listening to my thoughts at any given moment.Noticing that it was only distracting me from thinking clearly, stopped what I was doing. “I need to use the bathroom.”Both Kellan and Jade nodded their heads, without looking up. I hesitated for a second, thinking that it had been too simple. Leaving them to pack, I made my way into my bathroom, making sure to lock the door after closing it.Since I really did need to go pee, I pulled my pants down and sat on the cold hard seat. As I sat there relieving myself, I looked around the bathroom. Nothing had been touched as if they didn’t plan to pack any of it or they hadn’t made it this far.Leaning back against the toilet, now that I was alone, I tried to think of a solution. It wasn’t like I could just
Cyran POV- “I swear, if we don’t find her or something happens to her, you will regret the day you were born!” Kellan stepped back at my threat, and I saw absolute fear in his eyes. When he came to the house and told me that Azura escaped, I nearly killed him on the spot. The only reason I hadn’t was because he said more than thirty minutes had passed before he realized that she was missing, and he searched the entire town for her. If she wasn’t in town, that meant she found a way to leave, which meant I was going to need his help to find her. Even if he fucked up, he was still the only Dragon I could truly trust to help me get her back safely. Even my Maid and Gardener, while trusted, weren’t as strong or as fast as Kellan. I could call my brother for help, but I didn’t want to alert too many that Azura was back. Until I knew what happened in that cave, I had to be cautious. It wasn’t like I didn’t trust my brother, but at the same time, he has been acting strange for the past ten
Dear Reader, Please forgive my absence for the past couple of days. I was taking a couple of days off, as I usually do, at the beginning of the month. I will be doing regular updates to this story, however. I hope to hear from my readers and let me know what you think. I know this is different from my werewolf stories, but I hope it is something you will all enjoy. Let me know if you want to see more stories like this. I plan to return to writing my werewolf romance soon. For my loyal readers, I will also be starting the third book in my trilogy series that some of you keep asking about. It should be at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. I also have another book that I am trying to finish, but this book will be my focus this month. Please be patient with me, as I do tend to get writer's block. My other book might slow down, but I will continue updating regularly if I can't daily. Sincerely, Author Raelyn Karson
