I am the dragon Chapter Thirteen
I pushed myself away from the wall as Stella and Chris exited my room. I felt my heart sink at the look on their faces, it was grim. I had sent everyone else away and waited alone.“She’s asleep,” Stella said.“How bad is it?” I asked her.“She was beaten rather harshly, I found a lot of bruises all over, some cuts and…” she said.“And?” I pushed her.“She has bruising between her legs,” she said and looked down, “I’ll come by and check on her again tomorrow.”I just nodded my head as I looked towards my room. I heard Chris talking to Stella as they walked down the hall and I vaguely heard the front door. I stood frozen on that spot for a few more minutes before entering my room.I pulled a chair closer to the bed and sat down. She looked small and frail and I felt that familiar anger rising up in me.“What the hell happened to you Rylee?” I asked in a whisper.Her eyes remained closed and her breathing was even. At some point during the night I fell asleep in the chair as I watched h

I ran up the stairs to my room and opened the door. My bed was made and a folded letter lay neatly on my pillow. I knew immediately that she wasn't here. She wasn't even in the house and I dreaded to pick up that letter."Dear LucasI can't stay here, not just with you, but here in Aurora. A relationship between us would never work, especially after what happened to me. You seem like a good person, to me at least, you deserve someone that can give you everything. I have nothing to give you. Reject this bond and move on with your life, I'm sure a chosen half would be much better suited to you than me.Take care,Rylee."Rev stood in my doorway and walked over to me as I held the letter up. He read it quickly and put it down on the bed next to me."She's afraid," he said."She didn't want to tell me what happened to her but Stella said she had bruising. I think she was raped," I said to him."You should talk to Hannah," he said."Why?" I asked him."She sees and feels things," he said a

It was the last week before graduation and I didn't really see the point in going but I went and the only thing that was different was that Rylee wasn't there. Carson and JD still glared at us and I saw that they got their dragons too. I caught a glimpse of Carson's indigo dragon and JD's green one.He must be so pissed off that he didn't get a blue one since he was Carson's second in command. The look in their eyes said that they thought my own gray dragon were beneath them and I only smiled to myself with that realization."Heard you got rejected," Carson said as he pushed past me in the hallway."Heard you bonded with another guy," I said to him and his eyes widened."When did you become such an asshole Lucas, we used to be friends," he said to me."Yeah used to, so glad my eyes opened up," I said to him."What's your problem man?" he asked."Did you know your mother isn't your father's bonded half but a chosen one?" I asked him."That's a load of bullshit," he said."Whatever make
I am the dragon Chapter Sixteen
A lot has happened in the past six years. Chris and Jax had gotten married and Preston had met his bonded half, funnily enough she was human but she had taken the news of dragonkin well and they were well suited. She didn't take any of his bullshit and he had changed from a player to a caring and thoughtful boyfriend.Rev had been charged with aggravated assault, possession of an illegal firearm and obstruction of justice. He had also been found guilty and he was currently serving his time at the Federal Prison in Chicago. Hannah had taken it very badly and most nights she screamed as she felt Rev's pain. Rev had also refused any visitors and none of us had seen him in six years.I reached out to Tirsynth on a weekly basis and he confirmed that Rev was doing all right, sometimes he'd tell Baz that Rev had been hurt but mostly I already knew that through Hannah. I kept tabs on him and made sure that he always had money in his prison account and we sent him packages weekly.Rylee had fi

"So that's it?" she asked me, "you're just going to walk away?""Isn't that what you want?" I asked her.She looked down and then her eyes found mine. I closed the distance between us and I picked her up and kissed her. Her back found the wall and I leaned in and pressed myself against her. She wasn't fighting me, she was kissing me back with her own urgency matching mine.I could feel Baz in my head and I knew my eyes would be yellow if I opened them but I did anyway. I moved to the bedroom and I lowered her to the bed and hovered on top of her. Her hands went up to my shoulders and I shrugged my jacket off as she unbuttoned my shirt.I could feel the bond pulsating between us, giving me an euphoric feeling of happiness as she touched me. I lifted her dress and pulled her underwear off as she unbuckled my belt. I pulled her up and unzipped her dress and pulled it over her head."Rylee," I whispered against her neck. She arched it slightly as my teeth grazed her and she wrapped her le

I knocked on the door right across from my suite and looked into Colin's face as he opened the door. He smiled briefly at me before his face became questioning since my expression was serious."Sire Lucas, what brings you to my door?" he asked."Cut the bullshit Colin, I need to speak to Rylee," I said to him. Rylee appeared next to him still looking like shit."I need you to accompany me to the conference room to meet with the Elders," I said to her."I'll accompany Rylee," Colin said and he stepped forward but I moved in front of him as Rylee stepped into the hallway and blocked his view."You're not invited," I said to him.I turned and nudged Rylee with a hand on her shoulder towards the elevator. She didn't say a word and I was glad. I couldn't talk to her right now, I was still too angry at her confession. There was probably nothing wrong with Colin except that she loved him."Lucas, can we talk please?" she asked me when the doors closed and we started going down."There's no p
I am the dragon Chapter Nineteen
I was busy with my tie when a knock on the door interrupted my thought process. Our lawyer had given the go-ahead to sign the contract in the morning and I felt pleased that at least one thing had gone according to plan this weekend. I opened the door and Colin stood there."Can I come in and talk to you?" he asked me."Sure. Drink?" I asked him and he nodded.He followed me into the living room and stood in front of the big window looking out over the city. It was a pleasant view although I preferred to be back in Aurora where I could see the woods from every window in my house and experience the quiet of where I lived."Lucas, I'm just going to be very straight forward with you," Colin said as he took the glass from me."I expect nothing else," I said to him and sat down across from where he stood."I love Rylee," he began and I instantly glared at him to which he laughed, "I'm also gay.""Your what?" I asked him not sure I heard correctly."I love Rylee like a sister. When I met he

“If it isn’t Rylee Christianson,” JD said as Rylee walked with me to the bar. She stiffened and my protective instincts kicked in.“Fuck off JD,” I said as I stood in between him and Rylee.“I see you still have the mark of a whore on your neck,” Carson chimed in as he joined JD.My eyes flashed yellow and I had both of them pinned against the wall with a hand around their throats each. I squeezed as Baz roared in my head. The music had lowered and people were watching us. They tried to get out of my grip but I only squeezed harder.“Lucas, they’re not worth it,” Rylee said as she placed a hand on my shoulder. My eyes returned to their normal green and I let go of them as several other Sires stepped forward. I turned away from them and took Rylee’s hand which she didn’t resist.“We’ll be seeing you around Rylee,” JD said loudly and I felt fear coming from her.“The Grey lair officially declares the McIntyre lair our enemy,” I said as I faced him again. There were a few gasps and I kne

I am the dragon Epilogue
Timothy had followed Baz’s scent to the house and ultimately saved our lives. I was furious when we arrived back at the house because everyone was fine except Tom who had been killed in the basement when Joseph’s men broke Carson out. Nobody had even realized that they were in the house or that Rylee was missing.They realized that shit had hit the fan when Jasper, Brandon and Rev arrived back at the house and Timothy took off in a hurry leaving behind just the rustling of leaves. We couldn’t find any evidence of Joseph having any other children and I had to assume that he had lied about Carson not being his only heir.The new Elders took notice of the deaths and listened in silence as I made my statement and they made notes and announced that the McIntyre line was now dead. I was vindicated and in the end we took in about ten of the McIntyre members who had nowhere else to go.Rev and Hannah got married two days after her eighteenth birthday in a small ceremony at the house which we
I am the dragon Chapter Sixty
We drove the thirty miles to Broadview in tense silence. We all had our own reasons for wanting to do this. Brandon started out doing it because we’re friends and he’s always game for a good fight but now it was because of Kimberley. Rev hated anyone that I hated and he’s always had my back, not matter what or who.Jasper has been my older brother of sorts, I wouldn’t say he was a father figure to me but we were so involved with each other’s lives that no matter what happened we’d always be there for each other. He had become invested in finding proof against Joseph even though he wasn’t close with my father.Me on the other hand, I had every reason in the book to do this. Those bastards took my parents, ripped my family apart and then tried to ruin me as a Sire, make my life a living hell and thought they’d get away with it all.The house was located on the outskirts of Broadview and we stopped the car a mile away from it. There were a few guards walking the perimeter of the mansion.

Timothy sat at my desk and I sat across from him on the sofa as he opened his laptop and looked at me. I took the letter from my jacket pocket and handed it to him. He read it and I saw his eyes widen as he folded the letter and handed it back to me.“This is…” he said.“I know,” I said to him as he shook his head.“What are their names?” he asked me his expression still stoic.“Gareth Wineston, James Hitchenson and Peter Phillips,” I said to him.“Bastards,” he said as he started typing on the laptop, “this might take a while, I’ll come get you as soon as I have something.”“Thanks, there’s something I need to do anyway,” I said to him.“Take your time. I have a program running down their names for any property owned and then I’ll start searching for their faces wherever they’re located just to make sure they are in fact there,” he said and I stood up.I nodded and left Timothy to do his thing and headed back to the bedroom as I sent a text to Stella. Rylee was in the shower and I co

I spent two days searching the office before I found the hidden panel in the wall behind the filing cabinet. There was one envelope inside, wrapped in plastic and I took it out. I unwrapped the plastic carefully and opened the letter.“Lucas, when the time is right I pray you find this. I know you’re smart enough to figure the truth out on your own and I know how this will end. You’re too much like me and I know the need for vengeance will drive you and you won’t stop until you’ve accomplished what you want.Joseph McIntyre is poison and if you allow him in he will destroy everything you try to build up. The truth of everything is that Joseph was jealous. He loved your mother to the point where he rejected his bonded half for her but by that time we had already met and I marked your mother two days after I met her.You came along nine months later and then Christina and then Hannah and we never looked back. Joseph was furious of course. He tried to kidnap you right after your birth bu

“Welcome dragonkin of my lair,” I said as everyone settled down.“I met with our new Elders this morning and I know you’ve all heard a lot of rumours and most of them are probably true. Yes, I disbanded the previous Elders by killing off their dragons. Yes, we have Carson McIntyre in our custody. I have also been granted an execution warrant for Joseph McIntyre as proof have finally been found that he was responsible for killing my parents,” I said and had to stop talking because of the cheers and clapping.“The McIntyre lair has officially been disbanded as of today and the whole of Aurora is now under our protection and you are all free to move through lower Aurora. Tonight we’ll decide Carson’s fate and I’ve already taken the stance that no McIntyre member will join our lair,” I said.“Kill him!” I heard the shouts coming from my lair members.Rev stepped out from the shadows pulling Carson behind him. He joined me in the front and kicked the back of Carson’s leg and forced him to

“How do you know Beckett Lawley?” I asked Rylee as I stood in the doorway of her bedroom.“Why?” she asked me and I could see that she had stiffened when I mentioned his name.“You’re living in his apartment,” I said.“How do you know that?” she asked me.“The Elders told me, so it’s true?” I asked her.“I met Beckett about three years ago at a function that Colin had at his house,” she said.“I’m sure he just jumped at the opportunity to take you in,” I said.“We became friends,” she said.“So how do you see this working?” I asked her.“See what working?” she asked me.“Us,” I said to her.“There is no us Lucas. I meant what I wrote in that letter,” she said.“So why are you here?” I asked her.“Closure maybe and I felt guilty for you taking my punishment and I wanted to help you heal which my presence did,” she said.“So you intend to leave again?” I asked her.“Yes,” she said.“Don’t,” I said to her.“I know you don’t want them and I’m more than capable of looking after them myself
I am the dragon Chapter Fifty-Five
After dinner I followed Rylee up the stairs and she stopped on the third floor and turned to me. I didn’t really know what to expect because I had treated her like shit yet here she was and I didn’t know what to say other than sorry which wasn’t really good enough.“Well this is me,” she said and turned to walk down the hall.“You’re sleeping in the guest room?” I asked her.“Well I am a guest here,” she said and my heart sank.“Okay,” I said and turned towards the stairs again.“We should make some time to talk,” she said.“We should,” I said to her.I lay in bed and thought about everything I wanted to say to her, everything I should say to her but knowing she wasn’t staying kind of ruined all that, not that I could blame her. I was surprised she was even here now.I woke up as Rylee put a cup of coffee down on the bedside table. She was already dressed and she looked good, she was glowing and she looked happy.“Morning,” she said with a smile.“Hey,” I said as I sat upright and too

I was vaguely aware of beeping machines deep in my subconscious. My limbs felt too heavy and I couldn’t move them. I knew I was dreaming or hallucinating as I smelled Rylee’s scent close to me and I could swear someone was holding my hand.I felt tired and I hurt and for some reason I couldn’t open my eyes or speak. This process repeated itself about four times and I had no idea how much time had passed. This time when I came to my senses things felt different.I still struggled to open my eyes and I was aware that I was on my stomach and I could smell her again. It was like she was right there with me, stroking my hair with one hand while the other one was entwined in my own hand.I felt her hand move and I gripped it tightly, “please don’t leave me,” I whispered and I could feel her breath on my face.“I’m not going anywhere,” she said in her soft voice.“Is he waking up?” I heard Hannah ask.“Yes,” Rylee said.“I’ll call Stella,” Hannah said and I heard her footsteps as she left th

“Coming!” she yelled at the knock on the door of her apartment.She opened the door and stood frozen as she looked at Hannah and Rev. Hannah smiled slightly and Rev just grunted as they all stared at each other.“Hello Rylee,” Hannah said.“How did you find me?” Rylee asked her.“I have friends,” Hannah shrugged.“Does Lucas know where I am?” Rylee asked.“No,” Hannah said, “can we come in?”“Sure,” Rylee said as she looked around.She opened the door wider and let Hannah and Rev enter. They walked through to the living room and Rylee showed them each a seat.“Something to drink?” Rylee asked.“Coffee for both of us,” Hannah said as they sat down.Rylee walked to the kitchen and absent-mindedly her hand went to her stomach. She was now almost four months pregnant and living in Joliet. She was slightly worried that Hannah had found her and she was itching with curiosity as to why they were here.“I assume this isn’t a friendly visit to see how I am,” Rylee said as Rev took the tray fro
