Lucas
Being coddled was one of the things he hated the most. He was an alpha male. The King of Dragons. The ruler of magnificent and ancient beasts.
A puny in his queen's arms.
So much for his dialogue. One look from her, plus her not-so-subtle threat that he was sleeping outside their bedroom if he didn't comply with her wishes made him strip in a flash and let her bandage his healing wounds without so much as a murmur.
Damn! The Goddess had given him a tyrant for a mate. And he was eternally grateful. He wouldn't have it any other way.
Heavy lidded eyes watched her nimble fingers tend to him, stirring his urges. Her touch was so soft and delicate he quelled the urge to shudder in pleasure.
A celebration of a different kind forming in his mind.
"Maybe if you could sponge bath me?" He suggested innocently.

Her new sous chef, highly recommended by chef Nicolai from ICE was brought in to fill Indali's temporarily vacant position.-What's her name again? Joana. Oh, right.-"Thanks, Joana. And make sure we have enough ravioli for tonight. And check my baked lasagna from time to time." Rie went back to plating her delicate dessert for the evening. Aside from that she also prepared Lucas's favorite.Greek donuts with luscious dark chocolate ganache and cherries. Yum. Plus a surprise.This made her nervous. It was expected to happen though. So it wouldn't be much of a surprise for everyone but she would love to see her mate's reaction when she confirmed the news."Chef, a VIP is requesting your presen
The Three Sisters11 and A Half Years Ago"Rie, please don't forget Mish's vitamins. She will need that for her lungs. I will be out until lunch. When I get back, I'll bring us something to eat. Stay safe, sis."Her sister Anna pulled her close and embraced her lovingly, soothing her and at the same time drawing strength. Rie gave it without second thoughts. Anna bent down to kiss Mish's pale cheek. "Lock the door to our room and don't come out until I get back."She smiled and nodded. "You take care, sis. Don't worry about us. We'll manage." They always do.Anna smiled tearfully. She loathed leaving her and Mish by themselves but she had to work to feed them. At barely fourteen, she shouldn't be burdened with taking care of two minors -- she's a minor herself -- she does it anyway. Without reservati
Anna MariePresent DayThe ladies smothered her with hugs and kisses, her body jolted with their excited cheers and hollers.People at the school auditorium glanced their way -- some censorious and irritated, some genuinely happy -- none dared reprimand their boisterous celebration.Breathing became a huge issue from their loving embrace, despite that, a huge smile graced her lips.Goddess, she had made it. After eighteen months of nonstop lectures, demos, and apprenticeship, she finally graduated from ICE, NY. Top of her class. -Who would have thought?-Her family couldn't be more proud of what she had achieved.Alexander, her sister's incredibly handsome mate gave her two thumbs up. It was so rare to see a brooding man like him smile. But she guesse
The Dragon KingLucas VoskopoulosEighteen fucking months of deep excavation in South America and Egypt. Those were the possible places that the ancient book has referred to.Their hands remained empty. Not even a sliver of dust from the said tomb. It was a fucking needle in huge bundles of haystacks.To add more salt to injury, during his absence, there were raids and thievery on the kingdom's treasury.The renegades and rogues became bolder. Some managed to get away with bars of gold and silver. Though it did not dent his riches, it still irked. A nuisance and it grated on his nerves.Dragon vaults had been hidden for centuries. What riches they managed to rob from him at the treasury was nothing. What it managed to do was piss him off.If not for the ground troops Alexander
Anna Marie"The crab risotto is on the pass, chef, easy on the salt and pepper as requested."She nodded to one of her sous chefs. Fridays were busy nights. This supernatural restaurant was no different from a human restaurant.If there was a slight difference, these people love expensive menus.There was no sense in holding back from the expenses. She worked with the best ingredients money could buy and delighted her patrons with sumptuous delicacies. And charge them higher than normal.These folks were extremely loaded. So far, her cashier has not seen an ordinary card yet. It was all in black or red. The no-limits type.Vampires and Demons like blood on their wines, well they didn't have to go anywhere else for that. Cabernet Sauvignon 1992 and Château Cheval Blanc 1947 in type A. What more could they ask for? They were hooked for life.
Lucas-You are a fucking idiot, human! That he was. Why the hell did he do that and ruined his chances?This had been a shitty day overall. If he had to admit to himself, it had been a motherfucking hellish of a month.Constant travels to Draconian prides all over the world because the inexplicable larcenies from the hostiles had taken their toll on him.Add the fact that his dragon's strength has been waning during combats... He exhaled in a shaky breath.Abdicate.Over time, he had considered stepping down from his throne and choose between his commanders to hand over the kingdom.The twin brothers were a whole lot stable than he could ever be. Without his Argetlam, he was lost.His brothers flatly vetoed his decision and do not want to hear any of it. They gave him a lecture guaranteed to last
Anna MarieDamn that pompous ass! -Awww, thinking of Mr. Hottie.-Yes, she was. Not because she was attracted to him. -Are you sure, girlie?-Why the hell does her conscience mock her? She should be on her side.And why the hell did she dressed extra sexy today? Pft. Her outfit was perfectly fine, not that provocative at all. Her white skinny jeans and white tube top were perfect on a Saturday. It's the end of summer, so it was humid. Season's heat giving way to the breeze of Autumn."You going out like that, Rie?" Michael asked with raised brows. They were at the breakfast nook, enjoying the feast she prepared for them.As promised, after cozying with the puppy pile on her bed, she got up early and cooked for everyone. Even fed her energetic nephews and niece."Leave the girl alone, baby." Alexie enticed him wit

Anna Marie"No!" The distress in her voice carried through the black clouds above.Thunder and lightning illuminated the blurry ground below them. It was no longer flaming and she could no longer see Zachary's melting body.He was naught but ashes now. Though she didn't care what happened to that fucker. Knowing he was dead was enough for her."Little chef," the man she was holding for dear life whispered his plea once more. "We are going to fall.""Then we fall. Together. We die together, Lucas. I am with you all the way." She whispered with conviction, tears blurring her image of him, her eyes never leaving his.If this was the price of their love then so be it."I love you, little chef. Forever."He was saying goodbye. His glowing dragon's eyes were dimming. His heart, beating alongside hers was slowly fading.
LucasHe gritted his teeth. No one, no one owned his queen but him. They belong together. Forever.Wanting to finish the fucker once and for all, he commanded his beast to calm down and promised him retribution soon."Give us the children first. We have fulfilled our end of the bargain." Esmeralda demanded, raising her arms."Okay, little sister. I have no use for those brats anyway." Ruby clapped her hands and several slaves appeared with the pups.The powerful priestess immediately took the crying babies, soothing them. "I'll be back, Ruby." She warned before she vanished with her precious cargo."Lucifer," the gothic beauty enticed in a sickly sweet voice. They all felt like gagging when she tore the front of her black dress revealing her pale body with generous curves. "Claim me." She beckoned."No, bitch. You will never be my qu
Anna MarieThe hours spent making love had not eased the heavy emotions in her heart. By late afternoon, they decided to join their guests at the library. Hands joined and clasped tightly. She was afraid to let him go.To her surprised, Esmeralda and Lucifer were waiting for them.Anna Marie blushed. She didn't mean to be late. She and Lucas shared a bath then well..."Your Majesty, I am glad you heeded my advice." The priestess inclined her head. Though her face was unreadable, her palest of green eyes showed hope.Out of character, which surprised the lady, Rie closed the distance between them, embraced her tightly, and bussed her cheek.It took a few seconds, however, Esmeralda recovered and patted her back like a loving mother. A soothing sensation slithered down her spine. Anna Marie was grateful to the priestess.Then her attenti
LucasThey had yet to hear from Ruby, the evil mistress of the Dark Angel. Everyone was on edge. The realms on high alert.Esmeralda and Lucifer were due to arrive in the afternoon. And from there, they will have the whole night of planning until the exchange.Watching his Argetlam's tired face, he grimaced. Her transition had been tough and now they were facing the biggest challenge yet."If we could all retire for a few hours until Esme and Lucifer arrive?" He suggested to his friends. The ladies were about to protest but their men nodded in agreement. They too felt the need to take care of their mates.Before Rie could say anything, in a practice move, he swooped her in his arms, with a nodded to everyone in the library, who also had their ladies in their arms, he bade them farewell."Lucas," she squirmed. Her eyes flashing in annoyance.
AlexanderThe Lycan KingFuck! He shouldn't have left them. The events leading to this moment had been part of their enemies' plans. Creating a diversion compelling his presence so they would have the opportunity to attack the main house while he was gone.Anna May. His pups. His sister.-Alexander!Uncertainty course through his body, wishing he could run faster. Almost there, from the treeline, he could see his roof and smoke surrounding the perimeter. Lots of it. From the blast. He growled savagely.-I am coming, baby.No response. All he felt was pain. His heart squeezing. He knew then and there they lost something precious.-Be strong, my queen. I'm coming.A heartbreaking scene welcomed him when he entered their estate giving rise to his lycan's howls
Anna MarieFuck! There were too many of them. Wide-eyed, fear rolling in waves all over her body, she trembled."Lucas." She mumbled. Her throat was parched from the overwhelming scene below her. Alexander's wolves were being eaten by the hideous creatures. They were writhing and crying out in pain.What could she do to help them?Her sisters. The pups!-Be brave, my queen. He needs you.Her dragon spirit. She was his heart and his strength. He needed her. Just like she needed him. And she was no longer an ordinary human.It was so freaking hard but she commanded herself to relax. A herculean task. Taking deep and slow breaths, the beating of her heart began to slow.Anna Marie felt her strength arising. Energy. The source came from deep within her. Channeling her power to her beast, her round thighs tigh
