Rise of the Phoenix Chapter 11: Emmi
I wake up in my bed in the temporary hospital having no recollection of how I got here. The last thing I remember was being in class and watching Ajax and Anala practice combining their elements.‘Ask Ajax.’ It’s like there’s a voice in my head that just spoke to me. I look around my room.“Hello?”The door to my room opens and Kaylani walks in. “Hey, there she is. How are you feeling?”“Umm, good, I guess.”“You guess?”“I … I sort of don’t remember anything that happened yesterday afternoon. I don’t remember coming back to my room or going to bed.”“What’s the last thing you remember?” she asks and I tell her that it was being in her elemental manipulation class.“Ajax is bringing you breakfast. He’s asked if he can be the one to tell you about yesterday.”“Something happened?” I ask, getting nervous.“You don’t need to be afraid. Several of us talked to your shifter yesterday. She came forward. But she talked to Ajax the longest. Wait for him. He’ll explain everything. We have a mee

I feel like I’m really starting to recognize when it’s Emmi the human versus Emmi the Phoenix that is forward. Besides the red that rims her blue eyes, and the higher pitch of her voice, there is also confidence. Phoenix is extremely confident in who she is and what she can do. Emmi isn’t there yet, but I wonder if that will change once she and Phoenix connect.I know that the elemental dragons were interested in getting more information about the coming war, but my goal was to make sure that Emmi stayed forward. If these two are going to connect, she has to stop going into her trance-like states. She has to stop pulling so far back that she doesn’t remember what is said around her. So, I tried to help ground her and keep her forward. While it seemed like she struggled to do it, she maintained some level of consciousness. And when I asked Phoenix to step back, kissing her to let her know that I was proud of her and appreciate her stepping back, Emmi came forward almost immediately.“El

I’m nervous about Ajax helping me with the Phoenix. While I’m glad that he seems willing to work with me, I wonder if his pull to her is stronger than his feelings for me.‘He didn’t have sex with me because he wanted you to be forward and agree as well,’ a voice says in my head. I’m not completely sure if it’s the Phoenix or my subconscious reminding me of that little detail.Ajax is still carrying me as we walk away from the old medical center. I guess we can now start calling it a dragon hatching ground since that’s what it will become. I can still hear the grunts, moans, and screeches from Eliane as she lays her eggs along with Ancalagon’s hissing, his wings flapping in agitation.Ajax sets me down near where the area where the dragons shift and use as their takeoff and landing spot.“Give me a minute,” he says, smiling before quickly pressing a kiss to my lips and jogging away to shift.When he shifts, he turns and looks at me, lowering his wing for me. Instead of walking up his w

The moment the words came out of my mouth, I knew it was the wrong thing to say. Phoenix already told me that Emmi is afraid of her fire, and yet, I was so mesmerized once again by seeing my body engulfed in flames that it came out of my mouth before my brain could stop me.As soon as she opened her eyes, they went wide as saucers, the scent of her fear spiked all around me, and she began screaming as if she really was burning alive.“Emmi! Emmi!” I say, shaking her, trying to help her focus. When that doesn’t work, I do what comes naturally. I kiss her again. She doesn’t respond right away, flailing as if she’s trying to get away from me, but I hold her steady, using my dragon’s deep, resonating rumble to help her focus.I hold her face with the hand that was previously holding her hand and when she begins responding, I deepen the kiss. I can tell the difference between their kisses. Phoenix’s kiss is more confident, more experienced. Emmi’s is tentative, unsure, but still willing. So

All that talk of mating has me very embarrassed. I mean, I understand the concept of how babies are made, but this is different. The feeling that I got from Phoenix was passionate coupling that will feel better than anything I’ve ever felt before.I did catch her feelings of her time with her previous mates as she was talking to Ajax though, which has me confused.‘How does that work? You had other mates, but now he’s your mate?’ I ask her.‘Every time I rise, I have a new mate, a new bond. My previous mates all died long ago and while I remember them, when I die, the bond between us breaks. I remember the love that I felt for them, but even if they were alive, I wouldn’t feel it for them now. In this time, in this place, Ajax is my mate. Our mate.’How does she not feel the jealousy that I feel?‘Because I accept that we are one, Emmi. Once you do, you’ll see how easy it is for our emotions and our minds to connect.’I think about that and how her fire didn’t burn me, but it still mak

I lead Emmi to the hospital where I’m sure my father and Kaylani are. My father has been running tests on Dion and Sena since the attack. I’m sure they struggle with that. Unlike the rest of us who had others to comfort us, no one wanted anything to do with them, not trusting them after they attacked us with The Mean Ones.Emmi’s idea of letting Phoenix tell us if they’re lying is genius. Phoenix does seem to have an understanding of things that the rest of us do not. I don’t know if it’s because she’s a phoenix and is, therefore, more attuned to the world, or if it’s because she’s lived so many lives, but she does feel and know things that the rest of us don’t.Once we’re inside, I follow my nose to where my father and Kaylani are talking to Dion and Sena. They both have earth dragon and elf, like me. So, both of them have access to the earth element. They’re both teenagers which, I’m sure, is why Kaylani wanted to help them. Well, that and we know how The Mean Ones did hurt others. B

“Do you have anything that you need to bring to our room?” Kenna asks me excitedly.“Uh, not really. Just a couple of outfits that Kaylani and Everett got me.”“Ohhh, we’ll go to the packhouse. They have clothes there. We’ll find some that fit you,” Kenna says, taking my hand and leading me away.“Breakfast at 7am, Kenna,” Ajax calls after her.I turn and look at him, but he just winks at me.“Did you heard that, Yhen?” Kenna yells at him.“I’ll see you in the morning, my mate,” he says, his voice as regal as his stance.“Hey, is what he found bad?” I ask her.“No, it’s interesting,” she says, looking at me. “I’ll tell you tonight, if you want to know. You may feel better hearing it if Ajax is with you, though.”Kenna confidently leads me to where her father has built a packhouse onto the Academy’s lands. I’ve only ever seen this place from afar, but I have a weird sense of déjà vu when we walk up.‘I was here with Ajax a couple of days ago,’ Phoenix’s voice floats into my mind. ‘You w

I quietly follow her while people nod at Tana and give me side glances.“Hmm, I think I understand why my daughter was getting aggravated. I’m getting annoyed at this group too. I’ll have Cedric talk to them," she says.When we get to the room, it’s like a huge closet with boys clothing on one side and girls clothing on the other.“Not all packs are wealthy enough to supply enough clothes for their wolves. When they come to school, we want them to feel like they’re equals. So, we collect clothing and periodically the packs will donate clothing,” she says, turning to look at me, her eyes going up and down my body.“We don’t have a lot of small sizes that aren’t in children’s clothing, but let’s see what we have. Do you have a preference? Dresses, pants, jeans, shorts?”I shake my head, no.“Whatever you have is fine,” I tell her.“Your eyes are a softer shade of blue than Cedric’s, but I think that this dress would go good with your hair and eyes. Why don’t you try this one on,” she say

Rise of the Phoenix Chapter 48: Zephyr
We all heard the scream, the screeching sound that I somehow knew was Phoenix. Most of my children were in the nursery, except for Kaze who is a teenager in his dragon form and Lyra who is only three months old. Kaze was in school, taking flight lessons this morning and Lyra is home with me.Ishir had taken Nova and Brooke on a run through the forest, both girls loving the time that they get to spend with their father. I’d just finished nursing Lyra and put her down for a nap when I heard Phoenix's warning and cold fear had rushed through my body. The witches are here.I grabbed Lyra and raced to the Big House. They have the nursery there and I know some of the older teenagers, like Enya and Aspen will be there. Unlike Kaze and the other elemental children with the dragon gene, neither of those young women were raised to fight, so it’s better for them to stay and protect the young.As I rush into the Big House to drop Lyra off, Everett is coming in from the medical center with the gir

I felt the rush of fear from Emmi a moment before I felt power unlike anything I’ve ever felt before flow through my body. That was followed closely by a burning fury that rushed through my veins as Phoenix’s mind snapped into my consciousness. I knew before I saw her that Phoenix had risen and that the battle was here.I raced out of class, rushing to her and had tripped when I saw her flaming body in the sky. She is utterly and completely gorgeous.Then, my own fear brought me back to reality as hybrids and laboratory dragons all shifted and launched into the air to fight her.“NO!” I screamed, watching Kenna fly up to snap at the dragons flying toward Emmi.I watch Daichi, an earth dragon lunge at Phoenix but Tana flies up to intercept. She bellows that them to stay back while Kenzo tries to tell the others to stop. Tesha, in her scaled Lycan form flies in front of Phoenix, trying to help protect her as wolves come rushing from every direction.“AJAX!” Ancalagon bellows, flying in
Rise of the Phoenix Chapter 46: Phoenix
Something didn’t feel right about the time it has taken for the witches to attack. I’ve kept my senses sharpened on the portal, waiting for the moment when the witch or multiple witches come through, but so far, nothing.It’s not sitting well with me. I’m here, and there’s a reason I’m here. They wouldn’t have put the portal beside the hatching grounds if they weren’t planning to steal the eggs, so why wait?‘I want Ajax to take us to the place where the others felt the magic and couldn’t find the witches. I would fly us, but I’m not sure you’re ready for that yet,’ I tell Emmi. I wish I could fly. I want to so desperately, but I know it would disappoint Ajax if I pushed Emmi too hard, too fast.‘I’m not sure we want anyone to see you yet,’ she says, but I can feel how terrified she is about flying.She goes to find Ajax and tells him what I said, since I still can’t mentally connect with him.“Phoenix, Ishir has been there multiple times. He has the best nose of any shifter out there.
Rise of the Phoenix Chapter 45: Emmi
Watching dragon eggs hatch over several hours should have gotten boring, but it didn’t, not for any of us. The entire school watched as eggs began to rock, then chip, then little baby dragons would fall out of their shells to be greeted by their parents.The green eggs, the earth dragons, came first. Then fire, followed by air and water. The last one was the single golden egg.“Why is that one gold?” I ask Ajax, but it’s Phoenix who answers.“She will be the Queen of the Dragons.”When Ajax tells me he doesn’t know, I tell him in our mind link what Phoenix said.He turns and looks at me and I shrug. “That’s what she said.”When she hatches, daintily falling out of her shell, I knew Phoenix was right. Unlike her brothers and sisters, the queen has multi-colored scales, just like Eliane. She has all four elements.Once they were born, I was surprised that Ancalagon and Eliane weren’t as fiercely protective of them. It was almost as if their need to protect diminished the moment the babie
Rise of the Phoenix Chapter 44: Ajax
Zephyr and Avani were able to convince Ancalagon and Eliane to move their clutch once the eggs hatch. Since there’s so much excitement about having this many baby dragons around, nearly everyone pitches in to help set up an area where the babies can live and where we can secretly make sure that they are safe.Classes resumed, but around the classes Emmi and I helped clear out the space for the dragon hatchlings, we helped to monitor the portal, we checked on the status of our house, and I continued to work with Emmi and Phoenix on their connection.I’ll admit that I use what works and what seems to work is me. When we’re together, that seems to be when Emmi and Phoenix connect the most.“Start with your fingers,” I say. She’s sitting in front of me again, but this time, we’re at our mountain. It’s been a long time since we were able to come out here but I wanted privacy to work with Emmi on connecting with Phoenix today.I kiss the side of her neck, moving her hair out of the way and n
Rise of the Phoenix Chapter 43: Banari
**Trigger Warning: Sexual ViolenceI’ve lost everything! Those fucking dragons have taken everything from me, my life, my friends, and my pride. I don’t mean pride in myself. Now that I’m part lion, I feel the need to have an actual pride of women to feast on any time the urge strikes me, which is all the fucking time. I know the others used to get annoyed that I killed so many and I was always looking for more, but it’s not my fault that I lose control like that. It feels so fucking good to be king, to be able to empty myself inside MY lionesses, that I tend to shift while I’m still inside them.It probably wouldn’t be as bad if I wasn’t also part earth dragon. But the two don’t meld well, so when I shift, my cock is fucking huge. And, well, most women can’t handle the size and while I’m blissed out on my fucking incredible orgasm, I’ve split more than one woman in half.Still, it isn’t my fault. I didn’t ask to be like this. I didn’t ask to be part dragon and part lion. But it has ma

After the new hybrids arrived, everything went back to normal. Well, almost. They put the three of them on trial which lasted nearly a week and Phoenix caught the scent of magic again.Thankfully, we were with Ajax and he was able to keep her calm. Rather than showing our hand that we’d found it and risk having the witches try again, we’d told the elementals. It’s difficult because no one but Phoenix, and therefore, me, can sense the magical energy. The elementals said they could probably feel it if they could get closer to it, but no one wants to risk angering Ancalagon or Eliane.However, the opportunity presented itself to Zephyr later in the week. She was spending time with Iniko who apparently still thinks of the hatching grounds as his home. He had waddled right up to Ancalagon and everyone had held their breath. However, both he and Eliane had accepted him and then allowed Zephyr to come get him before the hot ground burned his paws. He started going over there every day, so Zep
Rise of the Phoenix Chapter 41: Elio
In the end, there were only five hybrids who were adults and could act as peers to Gideoni, Iris, and Fordin. Ajax is old enough but because of his relationship with Emmi who was held captive, Merethyl and King Yhendorn said he couldn’t be impartial. Tesha, Keagan, Kano, Valko, and myself were the ones who were selected to be the jury of their peers.Enya, Aspen, Naida, and Drakon weren’t happy about not being part of the group, but they understood. None of them are yet eighteen, and I wouldn't wish this on anyone. However, they did petition to sit in on the proceedings and Everett and Kaylani agreed to allow it.A week after the others arrived, we held court. We followed the elvish ways rather than the human ways, although they are very similar. Each individual stands before us separately and pleads their case. The five of us decide their fate, three out of five is all that’s needed for a final decision.While Gideoni and Iris didn’t participate in collecting, raping, or injecting the
Rise of the Phoenix Chapter 40: Ajax
After finding Cedric and Merethyl and telling them what Ishir told me, I let them figure things out. I don’t want to take Emmi back there to face the people who held her captive.“Let’s go check on the status of our house,” I say to her.It’s been several weeks since Cedric’s pack members began building it. I have to admit, they are pretty incredible when it comes to building our homes and packhouses around the Academy lands. The elvish castle has taken the longest because the elves prefer that their home be made of stone and natural rock. Being part earth dragon, I understand why. The feel of something strong and natural surrounding you makes the magic inside you hum. Wood is okay, but it doesn’t feel the same.However, for our home, it doesn’t matter. Emmi and Phoenix make my body hum more than any element from the earth ever could. As long as I have them, I don’t care what our home is built with, so we opted for wood which makes it faster to build than if we'd used stone.“Wow, it’s
