I am the dragon Prologue
For hundreds of years we have lived in secret. We no longer live in fear of humans or hunters, witches have magic and we have strength, but like any supernatural being, we try to live in peace with all beings even when they’re no threat, we still don’t relish revealing ourselves to everyone.At the age of seventeen your beast awakens, on the first blood moon after your birthday a ceremony is held and only the Elders are present to witness which beast chooses you. It is a sacred ceremony that we all look forward to. Our senses awaken from the age of fourteen with enhanced hearing, eyesight, smell, healing and strength.Up until the age of seventeen we are all equal and depending on the beast you get your rank within the lair will determine your future. Sires usually get an indigo beast and rarely a violet one. A violet beast is the strongest one and you are feared and revered when you are blessed with one.Blue beasts are usually a sign that you will be a good second commander or just

“Morning Martha,” I said as I descended the stairs.“Happy birthday Lucas,” she smiled up at me.Martha has been our cook and oversees the running of the house from before I was born and she’s like a second mother to us. Reeves was the butler and he’s also been part of the household since before my birth.The main house of the lair was divided into two separate parts of the same building. The house had four floors with two separate entrances. The eastern side was reserved for my family and our personal staff while the western side was reserved for guests from other lairs. They were exact replicas of each other with two staircases that led from the ground floor either to the eastern or western side.The ground floor had a large dining room, restaurant standard kitchen, an office for meetings, entertainment room and the library that was open to family, staff and guests alike.The second floor housed all the staff which included Martha and Reeves, Jane and Janet, the two cleaners and the

“You should keep your dog on a tighter leash,” Michael yelled from his table as we entered the cafeteria.“Oh boy,” Jax said as Preston laughed. Rev eyed Michael as we walked directly toward them skipping the lunch line completely.The look in Rev’s eyes told me everything. He was going for Michael. They were laughing at us and more of his cronies joined in. Other students stared at us in fear and Carson chose that time to stand on his seat and point to me.“Did you beat up more juniors?” he asked loudly.“Unlike you Carson, we pick on people our own size,” I said to him as Rev launched himself at Michael and tackled him off his chair.They landed with a thud and Rev wasted no time in slamming his fist into Michael’s face. I could smell the blood and I heard his nose crunch as Rev didn’t make a sound. Girls were screaming as Jax and I tried to get Rev off of Michael. Preston stood with his back to us eyeing Carson’s friends and making sure nobody could take a cheap shot at us.“Rev, l

We entered through a side door into what seemed like a closed off foyer. Two men guarded the wooden door and they bowed their heads as the Elders stepped through. They gave me a curt nod and bowed their heads at Jesse.“You may now take off your jacket and shirt,” Elder James said to me.I took my jacket and shirt off and Jesse took them and hanged them over the back of a chair. They indicated another chair for me to sit on and I sat down slowly taking in my surroundings. The walls were gold inlaid with intricate carvings and all the different types of beasts were represented on the walls.This place was rich with our history and heritage and I bet that anything you wanted to know about us could be found in here. It would also be heavily guarded at all times to preserve our secrets from outsiders.“Lucas Grey, you are the first born son of Geoff Grey, late Sire of the Grey Lair?” Elder Peter asked me.“Yes Elder,” I confirmed as I stood up.“Do you swear to treat your beast with the r

Jax found a movie on the television and I closed my eyes for a few minutes as I lay back on the couch. Five minutes later I felt a small body land on me and I groaned. Hannah had a way of hitting me exactly in the solar plexus driving the air out of my body."I'm sorry," she said softly in my ear and I opened my eyes to look at her."It's okay princess," I said and smiled."You smell like oranges and coffee," she said."You smell like roses and cotton candy," I said as she slid off me and sat down next to me as I moved up to make space for her."Okay Shakespeare what're the plans for the rest of the weekend?" Jax asked me as I wrapped Hannah's hair around my fingers."Money collections and sleep," I said as I closed my eyes again."You promised me a tea party," Hannah said and folded her arms across her chest."And a tea party," I added and I knew she was smiling."You can come too Rev," she said sweetly and I turned my head to see him nod.Rev especially had a very soft spot for Hann

I was standing at my locker exchanging my books when I saw her walking towards me. She didn't look at me and opened her locker. She was about five lockers away from me and the hallways were pretty quiet although we weren't completely alone. It was a week later and I had seen her a few times but I hadn't gotten a chance to talk to her again after she flipped me off."So are you going to tell me your name?" I asked her."Why?" she asked me as she looked at me."I'm asking nicely aren't I?""You couldn't be nice if your life depended on it," she said."Ouch, do you like hurting my feelings?" I asked her."Why are you even talking to me, I have a boyfriend and we're not exactly running in the same social circles," she said."Your boyfriend's an idiot," I said to her."And why is that?""If you were my girlfriend I wouldn't give someone the chance to talk to you like I'm doing now," I said to her."Are you flirting with me?" she asked and laughed suddenly."Why do you sound so surprised?"
I am the dragon Chapter Six
We had a few outstanding payments that we needed to go collect. I hated it when people paid late because it meant that I had to go see them personally and collect my money by any means necessary which normally just involved threats but sometimes we had to get physical.Darwell Montgomery, a notorious drug dealer, owed me fifty thousand dollars. He had made the loan as a start-up for his nightclub and he'd paid back almost all of it except the last fifty grand. The last time my men were there he had produced just excuses and his time was up tonight.I still had some pent up anger and I decided to gee see him myself tonight. One way or another I'd get that fifty grand. I checked the rest of my emails and worked for a few hours, going over paperwork and financials.At eight pm we left the house and took one of the SUV's and drove to Darwell's night club. I had already gotten word that he was upstairs in his VIP section sucking face and drinking. Jax parked the SUV and we climbed out."Ev

"Lucas," she whispered my name as I stared into her eyes. I don't know how it happened exactly but one minute I was looking at her and the next minute I was kissing her.She kissed me back and goosebumps followed as her hands trailed over my shoulders. She pulled me closer and I was half on top of her my hands tangling in her hair. It was like being in a trance when I felt my hands move under the t-shirt and then I pulled it off.She looked at me and before I knew it my hand found her underwear and I pulled it off. I spread her legs with my knees as she tugged on the waistband of my sweats but her hands stilled as I slipped my finger inside her and she closed her eyes.She started rubbing her hand over my erection and I knew that if she kept this up I wouldn't stop, neither of us would and maybe, just maybe, she would regret this in the morning. I pushed myself away from her and she lifted herself on her elbows.I wanted to ask her if she was sure but instead I just kissed her again a

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

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

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
