Brayden's POV

"Mum? Is that you?" That was the only word I could utter. It felt like a dream till I saw Steve gawking too. She did not move but smiled. That smile was laced with bitterness but there didn't seem to be any form of regret, sadness, or sorrow.

"It's me. But I can't stay for long. I am only awake for a few minutes each day. Today, I reserved it all for you." I didn't understand what she was saying but I had this urge to hug her like I used to. I walked towards her but she disappeared immediately I got close.

"You can't touch me," She said immediately she appeared again at the same spot.

"I have passed on from this world but I can only appear to you because my life was cut shot. My soul is not at peace, and the underworld has rejected me. It's not as if I didn't know it was going to happen. I knew it but I still went ahead to do that which was forbidden and this is my punishment. I have almost finished atoning for my sins, after which my so

Sure thing ghost mom, let me run to a father who doesn't know I exist to help fight off a million werewolves without a full understanding of the powers I possess, then if I survive, come back to you for answers instead of my father, the Dragon Lord .... Seriously?

    Cora's POV As I was not used to sleeping in my bed during the day, it was great doing so today and I felt quite robust about it. The thought of last night was still wavering on my mind, no matter how much I tried to disregard it. It's not as if I want anything but I felt chemistry drawing me to him, the more I tried to forget him. It was something I had never felt. I suffered the urge to see him, for a reason I can't comprehend. I perceived going to that hotel again but what would I do there? What do I say to him? He was so mysterious that I couldn't discern what would befall me if I ever saw him again. Right now, I want to walk into that hotel and ask of him but it's a hotel and he might not be there. I just felt that if I didn't see him, I might go crazy, and if I saw him, I would run mad. Nevertheless, it won't hurt to check or maybe find out something about him. His name perhaps might give me a clue or a way of locating him. Hmmm...that receptionist might tell me

I have been waiting eagerly for her. I secretly sent my men to follow her till they were convinced she had reached home. She reminds me so much about her but I know she isn't the one - Yet, I can feel my wolf excited for the first time in ten years. I can see my icy heart begin to melt for the second time. This must be a second chance for me. The moon goddess must have heard my plea. She knows how much I loved her. Despite the unfortunate incident, she sent her back to me through Cora. Her beauty is extremely unique and even though she might look petite, she beats my imagination at how she could be so strong at a time like this in her life. This time, I will do everything in my power to protect her. I will never allow her to leave my sight. I can't lose her too. Ken had already giv

  • Secret Son of The Dragon Lord   Chapter 11 - Many things we don't know

    Brayden's POV As we got closer, I didn't have to look or ask for directions. I could feel and hear the ongoing pang of war from the sky and my heart sank when I got closer. I have lived a peaceful life for centuries, not knowing the atrocities faced by those of my kind. I could see countless wolves, as numerous as the sand, attacking the dragons in groups of twenty to thirty. The Dragons were getting weak and were also outnumbered. Merely seeing them made me understand that this war had gone on for so long and their bodies had not been able to recover before their engagement in a series of wars. In the nick of time, I hated my mother for keeping my existence a secret and keeping me from my kind. I felt guilty for my problem-free life as I saw their resolve in not giving up. Even in their state, they will not relent. They were fighting with whatever strength was left in them. They had defeated a great number of wolves but there were far more approaching

  • Secret Son of The Dragon Lord   Chapter 12 - The war isn't over

    Braydon's POV From the explanation the Dragon King gave, I was left with mixed feelings. I knew that he should be nothing less than three hundred years old. I couldn't bring myself to understand how my conception happened. I believed he was my father. But he didn't even have a clue. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that time was far spent and we had to move immediately. There was too much information to lose if my mother never appeared again. The Dragon King called back the people he excused and in the dead of the night, we shifted to our Dragon form, flying to my mothers' Cabin. Steve had been quiet the whole time and I wasn't surprised at all. He'd only release whatever he had bottled up after we got back to the city. We arrived at the cabin a little before dawn and shifted back to our human form. There were more than enough clothes in my mother's cabin and we immediately put some on. After a while, we made ourselves comfortable, the s

    Sawyer's POV I slightly cursed Goerge inwardly for the rude interruption but my anger was quickly replaced with concern when I saw the fearful look in his eyes. I knew he needed my immediate audience. I instructed Cora to report to the Accounts office and bolted the door securely. Since we were the only ones of our kind at the moment, I didn't want any surprises. "Talk" He shifted his gaze from the window and frowned. "There is bad news from the war front. Everything was going on well initially, before the appearance of a red dragon." As he was speaking, his focus changed and he was a little still. I knew someone was mind linking him. Shortly, he resumed focus but his face had drained of natural colour. "Bad news. One of our park members' mind linked to inform me that The Alpha of the moonlight Pack has ordered them to retreat from the war." Everything he said was ridiculous to me. The Dragons must be strong creatures but they were also

    Cora's POV At the accounts office, everything was going well, as Isaac introduced me to the accounts of the club and Inn. When he gave me my job description, I was extremely excited. Finally, I had my dignity back. I'm not going to be a stripper anymore. Sawyer might not be what I thought he was after all. This icy cold man has an internal, kind personality. I guess my mind was filled with too much-rubbished fear when he asked me to see him. I was only unhappy when I didn't get to complete my conversation with Ken. I wanted to know more about the mysterious man, but Sawyer came before I could ask the main question in my mind. Ken seemed to know a lot about this mysterious man and just like me, he was trying to know the reason for his sudden disappearance which would be of immense help to me. I found Sawyer very strange. He had shown me kindness but I haven't been able to expedient the intent of his actions. I keep thinking of why he chose to give me this job

  • Secret Son of The Dragon Lord   Chapter 15 - Recounting the Past

    Brayden's POV I was dumbstruck by my father's words. How could he talk like that? My mother clearly said the reason for the war was because of the gold. Now it seemed there were more secrets. I didn't know how long I could stay away from the city. I had to look for Cora, I had work and I had taken Steve away from his family too. I knew that his mate would be returning soon and I wasn't ready for any more surprises but I had to know the mystery lurking behind this traumatizing war. "What are you implying?" I couldn't hold back the anger in my voice and only came to my senses when Steve spoke. "Isn't that why we are here? What is the essence of going back, and leaving the puzzles scattered? If you are worried about my mate, then forget it. I agreed to help you and that means till all this ends. And I thought you wanted to know more about the mate bond since your DNA is peculiar. This should be a good opportunity, you know? I suggest we find somewhere comfortabl

  • Secret Son of The Dragon Lord   Chapter 16 - Sawyer is a good guy

    Cora's POV I resigned myself to dumbness, as I was swallowed by extreme kindness. But the forbearance of my old car having been scrapped had worked its way in me to paralysis. The utterances to express my emotions were completely misplaced. I tried to reason and take in the kindness which rather seemed to be a loss to me. Had I the conviction from the onset that he was serious when he mentioned scrapping it, I would have retaliated but it seems too late now. It was the only entity I had in memory of my old boy. I detested him for abandoning us but I can't also seem to completely disconnect myself or to part with him. Maybe my longing for him was what gave me the impression that I loathed him. Driving that car made me feel close to him. I was so upset that I just wanted to retire to a quiet place where I could battle alone in my thoughts. I had completely forgotten that I was in Sawyer's car till I heard his voice. It was as if I had gone through a trance.

    Brayden's POV "Breath, Cora, breathe. You are almost there," I encouraged her, as I kissed the beads of sweat formed on her forehead. With another loud and painful groan, the cry of our Dragon child fills the atmosphere. "Tell me, is it a boy or girl?" She was panting. "A boy, a bouncy baby boy. He looks just like you," I said with a joyfully laced voice. She smiles weakly and closes her eyes to the raging pang of sleep. It's been fifty years since I got mated to Cora. Well, counting from the wedding day, maybe. Our first child has just arrived. I intend to name him Colton Maddock if Cora agrees. It isn't easy to conceive a dragon child and we aren't an exception. However, not only did it not follow the human rule of nine months but rather twelve instead of ten. A lot has transpired since we got married fifty years ago. Well, Cora and I haven't aged in stature. We still look the same, thanks to the Dragon DNA. Even Steve and Isabella are still

    Cora's POV Everything that happened today, seems like a dream. The Ammyssian empire seems like a different world and who would have thought Serena was the end to the war? I don't regret any decision or action I have taken today. I think everything is worth it. Brayden and I saved each other. I got him out of the net and he was there in time to heal me when the rogue alpha knocked me out. He has stepped on so many toes. I've never seen a person who so desperately is a weapon of pain that everyone wants revenge on. Well, thank God everything has ended. I went to release Isabella from the hideout and Steve decided to stay with her till she delivers, which means that Bray is going to watch over his company for him but it's fine with me. Brayden and I left the Ammyssian empire the next day because of my school but I will never forget the little time I have spent there. The Dragon King is such an amazing person. I can't believe he helped me to discover

    Serena's POV Alas, I am free again. I couldn't watch Sawyer take all the revenge. I made a promise to Sarah and I had to keep it. I had to give her a chance to avenge her family's death. My only regret is not being able to get my revenge too. I hated the rogue alpha for everything he took from me - all the years I spent hostage away from my mate and my wolves. I loathed him. Death was not enough to wash away the bitterness I felt. I slept on the cold floor for years. I starved myself. I was griefed and never elated. For a moment, I thought I couldn't make it but Sarah gave me hope. When the rogue alpha hit Cora on the head, I lost it. I couldn't watch her suffer for no fault of hers. She even sacrificed her life for us by helping us escape while she faced him alone. I admit she has some mage powers. I envied her slightly. It's good to be more than what people expect you to be. The initial grudge I felt before when I saw her has dissipated. She was

    Sawyer's POV The days of training till death did not go in vain even though things didn't go as planned. The Dragons were well prepared and had taken down thousands of werewolves. We only succeeded in injuring a few but my anger escalated when I saw the red Dragon George talked about in the sky. George's army was down and he was helping to take care of the injured. That red Dragon was emitting both fire and ice. It was more powerful than any Dragon I had seen. I thought of how I could defeat it and thankfully, help came from the rogue alpha. Strangely, the dragon shifted to human form in the middle of the battle and went inside the castle. Then I realized it was Brayden. I Cursed him with my wolf and set a trap for him with the help of the rogue alpha. I told my men to stop searching for him after Cora chose Brayden over me. He strangely showed up today with the best help ever. He helped me capture Brayden in the fireproof net and mysteriously disappeared but I

    Cora's POVI have never seen a woman as enchanting yet, dignified as Serena. I perceive that she is hiding something and doesn't want to trust anyone. She said she was looking for the Dragon King but who could go to call him in the middle of a war. I wanted to tell Bray to get his father but she stopped me and for the first time, I had to hide the truth from him. She seems to need help and I desperately want to help her but I can't if she doesn't open up to me. Her friend whose name I didn't even ask, seems to be timid but she manages to speak when the need arises.I want to help her but there seems to be a wall of secret between us and I don't know how to decipher it. I am not skilled in psychology in any way. She wants to confess but suddenly, I hear a bang on the door. She can't hide her panic and I can see through her like glass."Is the person looking for you?" I asked Serena. There was evident fear in her eyes, which made me realize that whoever is b

    Third Person's POVThe duo followed the guard back to the battle. The weakest Dragons had already defeated the first batch of werewolves and Sawyer was furious. The next batch came with fireproof nets and unfortunately, one of the Dragons was trapped in it. With one fearful yank, the dragon was free and returned to battle. They were fighting in human form at the moment.For the time being, lurking in the bushes were two friends disguised. Serena found her way to the Ammyssian Empire and was able to make her way to the tunnel where she was once hidden. This time, it was much more secure than the first time. She did not know how to get in. It wasn't easy distracting the guards at the entrance but now that she was here, the door was locked."There should be another way right?" Sarah asked, furrowing her brows.Serena was deep in thought. "No, this is the only way.""Why don't we knock then?"Sarah's question slightly annoyed Serena. "Can't you

    Third Person's POV Steve left Brayden's penthouse, not long before he returned with bitter news. He wasn't sure what it was but it didn't seem to be well. "Brayden, I think the war has begun. We have to move now." Brayden was stunned. "You left just a few minutes ago. How did you know?" Steve's voice was gravelly. "My mate is panicking. I can feel it. She seemed calm since I left her but the panic now is continuous. I think there is a problem." Brayden knew better not to argue. He understood the strength of the mate bond. If he feels it, then it's true. "Cora, wear something comfortable. It's quite a long journey," he said, ushering Cora to the bedroom closet to get changed. "Not too long. I found a shortcut. We couldn't use it the last time because we didn't go straight away. We made a turn remember?" Brayden paused briefly but went ahead without a word. It was Autumn so the weather was turning cold. Cora wore jean

    Third Person's POV In a faraway land from the Alpha King's pack, lies a pack inhabited by rogues. The leader of the pack calls himself the rogue alpha. He never wanted to be in any pack because of his undying desire for power, which was denied him by wither packs. His inability to attain such led to him being rogue. Anyhow, he did not live there alone but was able to brainwash thousands of werewolves to join him in this pack and rule as the rogue alpha. His desire for power never ceased and yet, he had eyes on the Luna of the Alpha King, from the moment he first saw her during one of their meetings. Since then, the obsession has caused him to do the undoable and challenge the unchallengeable. Unable to win her love the right way, he captured her as his hostage. For years, he was unable to win the love of his hostage, the Luna of the Alpha King. Her love has only been for her mate, the Alpha King.

    Brayden's POV I haven't seen or heard from Steve for a few days. I call him to brainstorm with me on what to do about the attack of the werewolves only to be astonished by his first-hand information. How has he been in communication with my father when I haven't heard from him in a long while? Most probably after what happened with my mom? He does not realize the extent of my distress and casually continuous speaking. My muscles tense at every word that proceeds out of his mouth. "I returned from there a day ago. I'd wanted to come to you but thought otherwise." He smirks. Why do I have the feeling that he has something up his sleeves? "What did you do there?" A thin grin of excitement appears at the corners of his mouth. "My mate is pregnant and that's the best place for her to be cared for." I feel my muscles instantly relax but then, a gentle line of curiosity swept my mind."Your mate is pregnant and you never told me?"
