Jane I had my heart in my mouth when Gary stood next to me to talk to James and Philip. All I could see was his lizard head, and when he asked me to shake his hands, they were lizard hands. I shook him, hoping I was hallucinating, but I wasn't. They were rough and scaly. I almost screamed, but I did not want to embarrass the brothers with my actions, so I composed myself. I pulled my hands away slowly, and Philip touched my hand. It was as if he knew. When I looked at the man again, he looked like a human. All the lizard features were gone. I began to wonder why but I kept it to myself. He finished what he wanted to say and walked away. The moment he walked away, I released my breath. James signalled the waiter and requested they pack our meals to go. The waiter was afraid something was wrong with the food, but Philip pretended
James I had never been so scared in my life. I wondered what would give the governor the balls to chase us like that. Jane had passed out, and Philip and I were panicking. I had to do the only thing I knew how. We needed to know who was on our side and who was against us. We had been speculating for a while now, but It was time to draw the line. What Gary did was against the rules of the Order. Until now, we only complained to the Secretary about Gary and Austen's conduct, it was time to take it up a notch. The order was created to protect our bloodline and to help us keep order while the throne was vacant. The fact that we were yet to ascend the throne did not mean we were not the monarchs of Raygon. The shifter throne might be empty, but it wasn't vacant. Gary was a subject he had no right to hound his future queen like that. He had no right to attack us. Austen might try to because he was a dragon, but the lizard had no right to insult us. If the order failed to punish his transgre
James I returned to the room where Jane was and found Philip by himself. He was lost in thought, and I could only imagine what was going on in his mind. His love ran deep, and so did other emotions. Coming after our woman was an insult to everything we represent and stand for. Jane should be pampered and respected by all shifters, but instead, she is being hounded and hunted. I have to commend her for not running away from us. We brought a lot of chaos into her life. If we knew they would go this far, we wouldn't have pursued anything with her, just to ensure her safety, but it was impossible to stay away from our mate, especially if it took so long to find her. We just have to make things work. My movement snapped Philip out of his deep thoughts. His eyes were bloodshot. He was angry. " What did he say?" He asked me. " Pretended the Secretary didn't tell him anything, and he said he would look into our allegations," I replied, and Philip balled up his icy fist in annoyance. " The
Philip I couldn't believe Gary would have the balls to do what he did. After what James told me about his conversation with the Order, it was a no brainer that they were in on it. If not, Gary and Austen couldn't have gotten away with so much. Looking at things unfold, I realised that the lizards were becoming bold. I wanted to go to his house and beat his wife unconscious so he would know exactly how we felt. Now that we were manifesting, no one would dare to trouble us. We were no longer sitting ducks like before, and it was all thanks to Jane. I had suspected that the Order would not want us to ascend since it would end their era of relevance, now it was very obvious. Our plan was simple. We would arrive at the fundraiser as if everything was cool, and then when it was over, follow Gary to his house, deal with him and get our orb from him. Claim Jane, ascend the throne and force Raygon to accept her as queen. Playing by the book did not get us anywhere. It was now time to go rogue
Philip The event went smoothly. We made some pledges for the local orphanage and the youth art club in town. We liked to invest in things like that. Youth empowerment was crucial to keep the city safe from crime and disturbance, so we never hesitated to pump money into such programs. We got up to mingle with the other guests. I did not know when Janes's ex-husband Brad walked to where I was. The look on his face did not look friendly at all. If anything, It looked hostile. Before he approached, I wondered, other than being with Jane, why would he have an angry scowl on his face, then I remembered Jane had called him when the N.B.I arrested her, and we were out of town. He had helped get her stuff and move out of our apartment. I did not want to cause a scene, so I linked James to follow me. I moved to an isolated part of the hall where no one could hear our discussion. I honestly did not want to get into a fight. James and I would have to ignore it with all our might. " O'Connor's!"
Philip. We carefully searched his entire office and the rooms in his five-bedroom home. We found nothing connecting him to the shifter community. Soon we gave up and went to sit in his office. Luckily for us, lizards were not good with scents, so he would not know we were in the place. After two hours, I began to get impatient. I wondered what everyone was still doing at the fundraiser. James called Raya a couple of times, but she did not pick up. We did not have Condalisa's new number. We wanted to find out how Jane was doing. There was a possibility she was up by now. I felt guilty for leaving her to wake up and see strangers but what we were doing was necessary. If we did not stop Gary, he would attempt to take her life again. We can't be following her about the place, Jane deserved freedom. It will get to her when we have to follow her everywhere just to ensure her safety. " Should one of us go back?" I asked James remembering Jane did not like being away from us. " None of us c
Jane I woke up feeling better. There was a red-haired man in the room with me, and he was muttering in a funny language with his eyes close. I wondered how much time had passed since the accident. Then I remembered what happened, and I searched the room for my men. There was no one there. "Where are James and Philip?" I asked, and the man opened his eyes. I screamed so loud that my voice went silent. The man's eyes were blazing fire. The fire went dead, and his eyes were brown, but I could not unsee what I had seen. Someone opened the door to the room, and a middle-aged woman let herself in. She was pale and pretty, and I remembered she was the one that let us into the big building in the middle of the woods. "Hello," She greeted me. " I am Condalisa, and he is Alexi, our healer. You suffered a terrible concussion, but you are alright now. Prince Philip and Prince James will be back soon," She assured me. " Wait, are you two dragons?" I asked, and she frowned, which made me belie
James. We walked to the other street where we parked our car, to head back to the shelter. On our way there, Boris called my spare phone. Philip was driving, so I was free to answer. " Hello," I said, and he sighed. " Where are you?" He asked with a bit of respect which meant he knew we were manifesting. "On the road, why?" I asked him. " I got Gary's confession. I need you to know he would be dealt with accordingly, but we would have to be slow because he is entangled with the human government," he explained. " We will deal with Gary and Austen, with or without the Order. We only wanted you to have it on record because you said our accusations were alleged," I replied, and he was silent. " Thread wisely. I know you and your brother are manifesting, but you cannot rule without subjects," He advised. " A treacherous lizard and dragon cannot be referred to as subjects. And next time you want to know something, ask. Don't go discussing us with the likes of Raya." I warned him, and
Jane I sat by the window of my house. It had been a year and three months, and I had let go. My babies were growing well; they were six months old, adorable and peaceful. As much as I was heartbroken, they filled my heart with a different kind of joy. Sometimes I would tell them stories about how their fathers saved me from the evil green dragon. I knew they were too little to understand what I was saying but told the stories anyway. In those moments, I was happy. James and Philip might have abandoned me on earth, but I wasn't alone. They gave me two beautiful sons I would love with all my heart, and I was grateful for it. I was staring out my window when a strong breeze hit my face. I closed the window's glass immediately and soon heard a knock on my back door. Why not my front door? There was no exit at the back. Whoever was at the back had to have passed through the front, but I did not see anyone come through. The knock was incessant, so I went to check who it was. "Who is it," I
James. A full day had passed, and the committee was still deliberating on our request. I was very nervous, and Philip was apprehensive. Maybe we shouldn't have come. Jane would have given birth by now. I felt like a complete arsehole. How could we have left her pregnant by herself for this long? If only it were possible to go and come back, But our time did not work that way. We need to lend our fire before we return. If we returned without giving the fire through ascension, we would not be able to come back and save Reghan. This was bad. I wondered how Jane was managing without us. I knew how she got when we left her alone for too long. I did not know what we would have to deal with when we returned. What if she freaked out and decided to have an abortion? I wouldn't be able to fault her for it because we had been shitty by leaving her alone. It was her right, but I hoped she would hold on. I really prayed she would hang on for us. "Why is it taking them so long? Is Austen's head
Jane. EIGHT MONTHS LATER. I focused on my work. People at the office congratulated me on my marriage to Philip O'Connor. They asked me how the three of us managed even though I was married to the older brother. It was a weird explanation, so I didn't bother and let them assume what they liked. Every night, I would go home and sleep on an empty bed. Amrah did not spend much time with Nikolai, so she did not miss him like I did James and Philip. I would often cry myself to sleep and wonder when they would return. I stopped checking time and counting the dates so I did not sink into depression more than I had already. Somehow I began to suspect they might not return. When Philip said one year, I thought he was joking, but now that I was almost due, I feared they would be gone for over a year. Alexi had told me that the longer they were in their world, the longer it would take for them to return, and I cursed my heart for falling too deeply in love with them. Martha told me the most in
Philip. We left for Reghan in the morning. Using our orb, we opened a portal. Nikolai was with us. His bond with Amrah was strong, but their hearts were still learning to love each other, so there wasn't too much display of emotions between them. Jane could not hold her tears, and my heart broke at the sight of her pain. We walked through the portal, hoping that we would return in no time. I prayed she would still be ours when we returned. Knowing that time counted differently in our world, we needed to move fast. I did not want Jane to stay without us for too long. So we sent Nickolai to announce that we had arrived and set up a meeting with the committee for ascension. I could feel the imbalanced energy in our world. It meant we needed to move quickly and ascend the throne. "Do you think she will be okay?" James asked me, and I patted his shoulder. "We have to hope so for both our sakes. Leaving our mate pregnant and alone was the worst thing I have ever done, making me hate this
James Jane had asked us valid questions which we could not answer. This was a complicated thing to do. She had needs. It would be wrong for us to ask her to suffer. It might seem like a few hours to us in our world, but it would be months for her here. It was too much to ask her to bear, yet we could not take her with us to Reghan. She stood up and went straight to my bedroom. Usually, we slept in Philip's room together, she decided to go to my bedroom instead. I did not know what to do. "What can we do?" I asked Philip, and he was equally clueless. "Maybe we should take her along?" I asked, and he shook his head. "Austen has gone there with his treacherous friends; Gary has been sent there too. We do not know what will be awaiting us there. There is no way they would make it easy for us. She is safest here. There she will be in danger, especially from royals. Families with daughters they feel should be queen. Dragons will never bow to a human. We are going there to ascend and fig
Jane Nikolai explained everything about the dragon world to me and Amrah, who was slowly getting comfortable with the revelation. "Have they disbanded the order?" Nikolai finally asked me, and I did not know if it were safe to give him such a piece of vital information. If he were indeed a prince, he should know. He should be at the meeting. "Why didn't you go for the meeting?" I asked him, and he frowned. "I wasn't physically here until now. What you saw was an apparition of me. I was watching over you with hopes that you would be the one. You see, time was already running out for us to hold power, and we were desperate. It was paramount that the princes found their Mate, I could not come here physically, or there would be an imbalance of strength. That was why I could not interfere." he explained, and it seemed plausible. "I do not know what they are doing," I said in response to his initial question, and he smiled. "You will be good for Reghan. Queen Jane Algot," he said, and
Jane I felt a bit nervous about the moment the brothers left for the meeting. I was worried that something would happen and they would not return as they had promised. I was still yet to wrap my head around the fact that we were now connected. The mind communication was terrific, and I hoped I could figure it out. It would be really cool to communicate with my men privately like that. James had left me a phone for me to use. I had misplaced mine during the attack. I was yet to get a replacement. I knew Amrah's number by heart, so I decided to give her a call. If Brad could be so worried about my whereabouts, I knew Amrah would feel the same way. Calling her to keep her mind at ease was the best thing to do. She did not answer the call, so I sent her a text message informing her it was me and that she should call me when she could. I switched on the television after and tried to watch a movie. While watching television, I remembered what had happened and could not imagine what I ha
James. I haven't felt so much energy in my life. I woke up feeling on top of the world. Jane was cuddled in my arms, and I could not believe we had finally claimed her. After two hundred human years, we had finally found her. I remembered our first encounter with her and how we hated her. Then I saw her at the back of the club with a weirdo. We did not feel any pull to her, and I knew it was because of our missing orb, yet the universe had guided us to her and kept her in our lives. We would have missed out. The night we brought her home from the club, I felt a slight pull to her, and I believed it was because she was gorgeous; how could we have known she was our mate? Things heated up when we got to the resort, and once we got together, there was no going back. The three months away from her were like hell, and now I knew why. She was ours all along. I was grateful. I wanted to wake her up and make love to her, but I knew she would be tired. The claiming was draining for a dragon,
Jane. My life with the brothers was going fast. One minute we were having fun, and the next, things got serious. I could not believe I was pregnant. I was too eager to find out how far gone I was. I had a lot of questions. I secretly wondered if I would lay an egg. Dragons laid eggs in movies, and I asked if that was the case with my babies. If that was the case, I could not visit a human doctor. I had a lot of questions in my mind, but I knew we had to take it one step at a time. The brothers were so thrilled about the news that I knew without a doubt that they were serious about building a life with me. I wondered how it would be. They were public figures in my world and theirs. People would frown at the relationship on earth, and the fact that I was human would not sit well with their people. As much as I wanted to pounder over the matter, I knew it was only wise for me to take it one step at a time. Hopefully, things would sort themselves out. We spent a while in the bath. We di
