Aria's POV
As I ran from the clearing and into the woods I could hear my heart pounding in my chest, my feet hitting the ground but all I could think
I walked through the maze of people in the station holding my bag close to me. I had no idea where I was staying or where I was going but for once I felt free and happy.
After a few more hours hanging out with the guys, my eyes started to feel heavy and I yawned I decided it was time to head up to bed. "I'm gonna head up goodnight" I rose from the couch and made my way to the stairs, as I got to the second landing someone grabbed my hand I turned to see Drake holding my hand in his I looked at him a tilted my head to the side waiting for him to say something. "Aria I just wanted you to know you are safe here no one can hurt you anymore, and don't worry about your dragon it doesn't make you any less of a person" I could see the sincerity in his eyes swirling around, I smiled up at him while he was still holding my hand after a few more seconds of standing there I slid my hand from his. "Thank you, Drake, I feel safe here, you guys mean so much to me already and we haven't even known each other that long but you guys make me feel
Dragus POV It's been 6 days since we found out that Aria had left 6 fucking days and I was going crazy my dragon was constantly pacing both me and Darian were on edge we couldn't understand why were we feeling the way we were towards her. Two days after she left we were both woken we the same dream, a dream of us in the clearing with her she was standing in the middle staring up at the stars she looked amazing just standing there we could see her from the darkness of the trees she turned and looked at us staring right into our eyes when we made our way over to her I couldn't keep my eyes from her, I had the sudden urge to touch her so I lifted my hand and stroked her face the sparks that flew up my arm were unimaginable when the breeze that surrounds us picked up her hair whipping around her I heard a voice whisper "MATES" and then it ended I woke up in my bed my sheets soaked from the sweat that had come from my body I could still feel the tingles
Aria POVIt's the day before my birthday and to say I'm nervous is an understatement, the guys have been super supportive and have tried to keep my mind from wondering if I'll get my dragon or not. I lay on my bed staring up at the ceiling in my room my mind wondering about the dream I've been having since I left Azira the one with Dragus and Darian each time its the same thing and that voice in the wind saying the same thing "MATES" I wonder if it's true I mean I wouldn't mind any girl would be lucky to have either of the twins as a mate but there's little old me that may have both of them. I'm startled from my thoughts when a knock at my door pulls me away from my wandering mind, I lift myself from the bed and pad my way over to the door of my room I swing the door open and find Landon and Duncan standing in the hall both smiling at me as I stand there taking them in I cock my head to the side and raise an eyebrow at the pair wo
Darian POVDragus and I made our way across the street from the train station towards a hotel, we entered the hotel and checked in we made our way to the elevator once we were inside the doors started to close before someone jabbed their arm between the doors stopping them from closing. A girl rushed in with a guy and stood in front of us and started chatting. "I think she's going to love it I mean she's not had a proper birthday" "Are you sure she'll like it Dana you know how Ari gets being centre of attention" "Yeah well in the dress I've got her she will be the girl's fire she just needs a little shove to realise it" "So where are we going again?" "Tavaz so you guys will meet me and Aria there at 8 pm, make sure the others aren't late Landon and her friend is coming tonight as well so we girls we get ready together"
Aria POVI woke up early the sun was just coming up the colours danced across the floor in my room and I just laid there watching out the window as it slowly started to rise. My mind started wandering I wondered if I would meet my dragon if I had a dragon what they would look like and finally if I had a mate. I mean all the guys had mates and Duncan had just found his in Ariel I was happy for them but a small part of me that tiny part of my heart was jealous, jealous that I didn't have that connection with anyone, jealous that Ariel had found the one person that was made for her as I lay there stewing I felt a calm come over me banishing my jealous thoughts and replaced them with the thoughts of Dragus and Darian. I huffed at myself in the silence of my room why does my mind keep wondering to them, is my mind trying to tell me something or have I finally lost it and gone mad? With all these unanswered questions swimming around my head, I forgot it was m
I could see the lights from behind my closed eyes flickering as I could hear the raised voices in the room. I willed myself to stay still while I listened to the noise around me.
