~ Rayna ~
All the pieces of the puzzle finally fitted into place. The clues I got from the very first moment Mr. Windstorm and I met to the present all suggested him as the dragon. I would be stupid if I didn't figure that out this early in my employment with him.
It was a mind-blowing revelation, and honestly, I was still coming to terms with it, but I was sure of one thing: I wanted to see this dragon change into the man
~ Rayna ~Axel’s soft laughter echoed in my ears then. “Don’t worry, Rayna, I won’t let you fall,” he said as his other arm secured my waist. “I couldn’t wait to share the sky with you. I apologize, did it scare you?”I bit my lips as I stared down at his now-dwarf Breezy Point estate. I could see everything from my peculiar angle. I could see the many roads twisting and turning. I could see the beachfront, the ocean, and the hills filled with trees. These were the usual scenes I get to behold whenever I fly my planes, except that this time, I was not inside any four walls and I have no floor to support me.“I told you I am not afraid of heights, right?” I returned to meet his smiling gaze. “But this, this is different, Axel. This is insane. You are flying without using your win
~ Axel ~I felt Rayna's desire overflowing and throbbing on the surface of her skin. She wanted me, that was all the confirmation I needed, and I grabbed this opportunity right away."A union between a dragon and its mate should be done only after the mating ceremony, Rayna. I'm thinking I should ditch this tradition to fulfill your request," I stated, slowly unzipping her nightdress so that her breasts would spill for me.She didn't stop me. Instead, she encouraged more. "Ditch it, Axel. I want you now."This was the power of the mate bond working inside us, but I could tell she desired me as much as I desired her. We were simply two consenting adults lusting for each other, wanting to feel each other's
~ Rayna ~I honestly thought the bite spot would throb together with what I was feeling. Making love with Axel was the fulfillment of its craving...my craving to be kissed, touched, and filled in every sense of the word. But in the end, it became silent. Since the day of its creation, it had always bothered me. Finally, today, it gave me peace. I felt like it didn’t exist, so the entire time I was with Axel, my attention was solely focused on him.I could feel every heightened sensation, every clash of our tongues, every brush of his fingers as he explored my body, and every...thrust of his cock inside me... I felt complete, but not quite. I needed more...wanted more.So when we returned to his estate via his dragon magic, inside a new room that spoke of royalty no less, I listened to my inner
~ Axel ~“Ah, there you are!” Kelan, the younger of the twins, exclaimed once I opened the main door and invited them inside my chamber.“Finally, you show yourself,” Declan added, frowning a little, but he entered the receiving room anyway before Kelan could do so.“We didn’t mean to keep you both waiting,” I told them while closing the door. They quickly claimed the sectional sofa opposite the unlit fireplace, stretched their spindly legs, and bored their icy eyes on me.“Where is your mate, Su-Anateph?” Kelan answered. He was the happy-go-lucky of the two, with electric blue hair and obvious dimples. Declan was the opposite. His disposition was always gloomy, and he was easy to point out because of his metallic red hair.I stopped near the door to my bedroom and opened it.“Kelan, Declan, I want you to meet, Rayna Chase, my mate.”Rayna
~ Rayna ~Being called 'mistress' was one thing. Being called 'Your Highness and queen' was another. I mean, my father always told me I was meant for royalty; that I was made for a prince or a king. I always thought he was just joking; that he didn't mean it literally. Now, his words became a reality. I wonder how he would react if he found out about this.I guess meeting other dragons came with the package. The twin CEOs were charming men and they each have unique attitudes. They possessed this powerful aura too, just like Axel, but I guess this was a given.They mentioned something about a mating ceremony, which I shrugged off during the heat of moment last night when Axel also mentioned it to me. I didn't think about its implications, but now that Kelan explained it in a human-ish kind of way, I bl
~ Rayna ~Eating lunch with good-looking CEOs? Yeah, I expected it would feel overwhelming, but surprisingly, it wasn’t. They all looked like normal people munching their food, talking about menial stuff, and even pulling jokes—at least in Kelan’s case. Not in a single moment did I feel judged or discriminated. And not in a single moment was our lunch dull. I wondered if this was also the same when they hold their business meetings.Er...probably not.
~ Rayna ~“Axel!” I shouted just as I reached for his claw and hugged it before it could attack Lord Saxoni. I was surrounded in flames that instant, but it didn’t hurt me. In fact, I felt completely at ease with his golden fire.His angry eyes shifted to me and softened. From dragon pupils, it changed back into its normal human green-violet color.“No,” I whispered. “I don’t want to be the reason for his death.” Briefly, I stared at Lord Saxoni and found him awkwardly sitting on the ground with the other old man trying to support him...or comfort him, whichever was the case. His eyes were filled with fear, both of them were, and our audience? The CEOs? They looked at Axel and I with pride. Great pride.“His death is long overdue, Rayna. I would be happy to end his suffering,” Axel stated through gritted teeth. His attention returned to Lord Saxoni, and the fire
~ Eros ~“Fuck!” I exclaimed, quickly sitting up straight on my bed despite my blurry eyes. “Fuck, fuck, fuck.” Counting to ten, I huffed and chased the fogginess in my head away.It happened to me again. The dream... Or technically, a memory of my childhood showing how I got lost in one of our pack’s tents.As far as I could remember, I was a young boy back then, but already mature for my age and already exposed to the horrors of the war between the dragons and my race.Already without a mother in a sense that my father, for whatever reason, imprisoned her in an unknown location. In effect, he denied me of a mother’s care and love. It was due to this that I wandered around our pack’s territory looking for her until I found myself in a tent.Crystals, glowing beads and chimes hanging on the dark ceiling first caught my attention the moment I stepped inside. This should hav
AxelIt didn't take long before trouble appeared on King Raxelan's mountain, literally.As soon as he transported to his throne hall, a guard stationed at the watchtowers of Mount Ras Zubayr speeded towards him, knelt on the floor, and cried out, "My King! Werewolves and lycans spotted near Lake Bahrmoris and around the mountain. There are hundreds of thousands of them!"With the barrier he created, he was confident they couldn't easily find their hideout, but this much population of these mangy creatures was an issue. Power by numbers, as the old saying goes. King Raxelan hadn't known yet what they were capable of, what abilities they have, but he knew they could find a way through the barrier and attack them.'Good then,' he thought out loud. 'Saves me the energy to go to the capital city and destroy them.'The fact that they charged first only stamped his idea that they truly wanted war. It didn't matter what their reason
AxelKing Raxelan had rule over everything just like I do. He decides for his people and no one contests it. He had freedom and strength beyond question. He was above all as he should be as the dragon king. However, there was always one topic which he had to consult his people with.The mating.It was tradition and an absolute word that the dragon council needed inputs to.It would have been easy once mated. After all, no one argues who destiny pairs us with. But in King Raxelan's case, his mating with Herneith caused a serious problem with the council.They knew she was human, but moreover, they found out she was also mated to Alpha Eckon.'How the actual hell did they know about this?'my mind exclaimed as I played out King Raxelan's life again.Inside his throne hall filled with incense and entitled lords, he was about to burst this same question to them, but decided not to. Especi
- Eros - My lycan form emerged as soon as I jumped out of my seat. Bones crunched. Black fur grew at terrifying speed. Deadly claws dug deep on the marbled walls and floors of my pack house, and even the roofs of my subordinates as I leaped from one building to the next. It was probably the fastest run I had since the day I existed in this world—or Alpha Eckon's, for that matter. He didn't have the ability to teleport like I do, but his superior agility could almost be likened to teleportation. I reached the far edge of Mount Ras Zubayr in less than a minute. I sensed Herneith already underwater. Fuck. And heard her faint heartbeat. Without delay, I jumped in. My lungs expanded as I locked the oxygen inside. Bubbles surrounded me as my eyes adjusted to
~ Rayna ~"Saphira!"I wanted to run to her side, but the blood and the looming danger in front of me made me pause.My sights flew to the killer and my pupils constricted, realizing I recognized the man."Sakros!" I shouted. "Why?! Why are you doing this?"Dressed in the same knight armor of our capital, Sakros, the main guard of my father's special army, looked every bit like a human, but I sensed something odd in him, and I confirmed it after seeing his arms all wrapped up in dark red scales and his hands turned into claws.A dragon? He is also a dragon in a human disguise?He cocked his head to the side, gave me a grin, and he pulled his claw out of Saphira's abdomen like he was simply gutting out the intestines of an animal.I screamed inwardly at the sight when she fell to the ground. Her eyes glassy and lifeless and her mouth and nose trickling with blood."It is nothing personal, Princess Herneith.
~ Rayna ~Herneith's stay inside King Raxelan's chamber reached two days. It was a stay filled with nothing but bliss and passion. He treated her like a woman equal to him. He made her ascend many times in heaven, made her a goddess of sex and moans. It was a give and take relationship, plus more. There was nothing else in her mind except him, and he showered his attention on her in a similar manner.Not once did the thought of her friends, Una and Asiri, crossed her mind, or her family whom she left in the capital, or her duties as the oracle, or her bond with King Eckon.Nothing else mattered. Just the two of them. It was similar as to when Herneith bonded with Alpha Eckon. It was as if time stood still.For me, it was like falling in love with Axel all over again, and making love with him instead of King Raxelan. It was like a beautiful dream I didn't want to wake.Herneith hadn't expected she'd be mated to two men—k
~ Axel ~"Ra...xelan..." she whimpered as we laved her neck.A deep hum of approval vibrated our chest. "Yes, Herneith. That is good. Say my name again, or better yet, scream it for me."Using our power of teleportation, we appeared in another area inside the dragon mountain where no human had ever stepped foot. It was King Raxelan's chamber, specifically.There wasn't much in terms of furniture. There was a chair and a table in one corner, and a massive bed that could fit ten people in the center. The circular floor was made of marble. It was the size of a basketball court. Past its edges, a chasm awaited, decorated by waterfalls. There were slabs of rocks towering all the way into the ceiling—a ceiling where it showed a gaping hole. The
~ Axel ~Being inside the body and mind of my ancestor felt weird. Lady Kasa said we would travel back in time to see what happened before the war between the dragons and werewolves started, but I didn't expect she meant it like this: be in one body with my ancestor.I could literally feel everything King Raxelan felt and saw everything he saw.His dragon strength was undeniable. It was bursting out of his skin...out of his scales. It was the same as mine. I was a dragon king, after all. Only that his was considered the first of the first.The beginning of all dragon powers.Mount Ras Zabayr was his lair. His headquarters. But his people—our people—were scattered across the many continents of the ea
~ Rayna ~In the next second, something golden appeared in the sky. Its appearance was swift that before I could register what it was, I heard the pained screams of the two bandits.I looked down and saw their severed torsos thrown across the forest floor.My breath was caught in my throat. What just happened? My mind screamed. Then a noticed a movement from behind me. Spinning around, I saw a golden monster crouching down, with my reflection inside its diamond eyes.Heaven knows how much I wanted to escape, but instead of doing just that, I was frozen on the spot.“Hmmm...” A low growl rumbled from deep within its chest. In Herneith’s point of view, this was her first time seeing such a beast, so concentrated fear gripped
~ Rayna ~As the oracle and healer of the Kingdom of Eckhathnaten, or now called Ancient Egypt in the modern world, a lot was expected of me. One of these expectations was to fulfill the dance offering for the Sun God, Ra, in his temple on top of Mount Ras Zubayr.Together with my maids, we rode the covered chariot of my father. Its walls were gilded and carved with the many exploits of our family—or Herneith’s family, for that matter. Six wheels were attached to it and were pulled by four mammoths.Mammoths. Huh.I never expected of a day I’d get to see a mammoth in real life. But then again, so were dragons and werewolves.We had traveled for four hours already, leaving the capital city since dawn broke. I was
