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 woke up feeling tired. I tried to recollect what happened, but my mind was slow. Soon the memories of what was happening began to rush into my mind, and I started freaking out realising I had been kidnapped. The room was dark, but slowly my eyes got accustomed to the dim light. I was in a cage, and there were chains on my arms and feet. I was afraid. Whoever could do this to me had no value for humanity. I felt like an animal in a cage. I began to tug at the shackles, glad to be alive but scared that my joy might be short-lived. Soon when I realised the chains won't give, I started crying, hoping James and Philip would come to my aid. Someone entered the room and turned on the lights. I looked at him, and to my surprise, it was Doyle Walsh, the same asshole that had attacked me at the resort. I looked at him in disbelief. " You?" I asked, and he smiled at me. " Yes me. I am glad you have a good memory." He said and sighed, " You would anyway, after all, you are a doctor," He
Philip It was time to pay James ex, Raya a visit. I had always known she would be trouble. Often I had heard her try to convince my brother to ascend without me. She tried to convince him that we would never find a mate that would suit both of us. She was wrong. Dragons usually used nature to choose mates. Fire will pair up with water or ice, Earth will pair up with water, Wind only paired up with wind. That was why we could not find a dragon mate because no dragon had two natures. Being with Jane made me realise the paring system was wrong. Here Jane was, an awesome human with no superhuman powers or nature, yet her scent and touch could cool James' fire and warm me up. It was love that made the pairing not nature, and that was why we had a lot of unhappy dragons. With love in the equations, nature wouldn't matter. There would be no restrictions when finding a mate. This rule was something James and I were bound to change when we ascend. Having experienced love with Jane, I believe i
Jane Doyle was a sadistic bastard. After spending hours being tortured by him. I figured he was not going to let me out of there. I still did not understand why he didn't just kill me. If his issue was the brothers, killing me was his best bet. I had repeated the same thing over and over again without changing detail, and I knew it got to him. " String her up," I heard him say, and my heart began to beat fast. " What do you want from me?" I yelled. My body ached from the beating that I had gotten, and I knew he was being careful, yet I felt like I was in hell. He had made vine whip from the plant he grew and had used it on me several times. By now, I had accepted that the brothers wouldn't find me, and I was truly dead. " Are you in love with them?" He asked me with a sinister grin. " Yes," I answered without thinking. There was no point lying about that particular detail. Not everything I told him was a lie. In fact, I told him nothing but the truth, leaving out the hallucination
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
