Chapter 35: Do You Love Her?
~ Willow ~
I was awakened to a door clicking shut. When did I fall asleep? I slowly opened my eyes to find a pitch-black room. When did it get so dark? Once my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I noticed Brax sitting on a couch. He had his head in his hands and I knew something was wrong.
“Brax?” I said in a low voice. I slid out of bed and made my way into his sitting area. I turned on his fireplace to give us a little light without things becoming too bright. Brax didn’t move. There was a heavy feeling in the room, dread blanketed my body. “Brax, are you okay?” I sat down next to him and placed my hand on his shoulder.
“Willow, I have to tell you something.” He said with a sorrowful tone in his voice.
Chapter 36: Sparkling Fingers~ Willow ~I don’t know how long I was on that cliff. It seemed like hours but maybe it was only minutes. I was in a sitting position when I heard the crack of a branch behind me. I let my senses guide me. The ground shook with a soft vibration underneath me. Whatever this is… it’s big. I didn’t turn around. I could feel the atmosphere thicken around me. A chill ran up my spine as I felt like a threat was near. My heart's pace picked up and my lip curled over my fangs in a smile. I am surprised at the calm feeling I felt. It was like the calm before a storm. This is what I need, a good fight would feel good. A strong odor slid its way under my snout, and I heard a grunt. Whatever was behind me seemed to be right up on me now. It’s time to turn around.I felt a breeze to the right side of me. I
Chapter 37: I Promise You~ Willow ~I am thankful for Brax’s oversize shirt. If it wasn’t big enough to tuck between my legs as I rode on his back on our way back to the castle, I would have never let him fly me back. We landed on Brax’s balcony in the highest tower of the castle. He opened the sliding door and allowed me to step in. I looked at my hands, feet, and arms. I must look like a mess. I am covered in blood. I turned toward Brax who was standing in his doorway looking at me. My throat went dry at the sight of him. He had removed his shirt and started toward the fireplace to relight it.“I’ll just take a quick shower.” I said.“Sure, help yourself.” He replied to me with a cheeky grin that set my body on fire. Trying to keep my hormones on a lea
Chapter 38: Give Me One Reason~ Willow ~A loud pounding sounded on the door. I jumped from the noise, but Brax groaned. He rolled out of bed. He took his time fastening his belt buckle like he was in no rush.“What!” Brax said to whoever was pounding on the door.“Brax, open this door right this minute!” It was the dragon king, Brax’s father!“Damn, I didn’t want to deal with this shit already this morning.” Brax said with a tone that told me he didn’t get intimidated easily. I bite my nails, a little nervous about the way that Brax’s father is going to react to me being in his room. The door creaked open, but Brax didn’t open it all the way.
Chapter 39: You’re Gonna Get Burned~ Willow ~“Why is that guy here?” I whispered to Mona.“That cocky bastard is Sky’s brother, Blaze. Let’s just say he and Brax don’t have the best history with each other.” Mona replied to my question. Oh… now I see the resemblance. Blaze began to laugh. All eyes moved to him.“I don’t know why everyone’s so angry. I mean it’s a win win.” Blaze started walking around us. Brax released me and stiffened. Tension was building in the room. It felt static charged. I looked toward Blaze and he winked at me. Is he antagonizing Brax? Brax clenched and unclenched his fists beside me. I rubbed his arm to try to calm him.“I wouldn’t pi
Chapter 40: Pain Covered her Beautiful Face~ Brax ~“I can’t believe that fucker tried to pull that shit with me.” I buttoned my white collared shirt and folded the sleeves up to my elbows. “I mean, does he really think he will be able to just walk in and take Willow from me if I become mated to Sky? That’s not fucking happening.” I spoke to Cam as the two of us were finishing up getting ready for the ceremony.“I don’t know, man. That guy has always had problems. He thinks he can have whatever girl he wants just because he is a dragon prince.” I huffed.“Yeah, he would have been dust at my feet had Willow not intervened.” I said, while running my fingers through my messy black hair.
Chapter 41: Man on Fire~ Willow ~Standing next to one of the posts holding one of the larger tents up, I bit my nails. At this moment I am scared more than I have ever been before. I listened as the elder talked about what we were to expect during the ceremony. If he thinks I am going to dance to please their god, they are sorely mistaken. I want nothing more than to dash that fire with water right now. I watched as the blaze spit little embers into the night sky. The elder took some type of powder in his hand and dashed it into the fire. The effect was like little firecrackers going off in all different directions. The colors blue, red, yellow, and green caused shadows to dance on the ground below.I couldn’t hear most of what the elder was saying as the couples sat on the ground. He must be calling to Typhon, their god. He tossed another
Chapter 42: Mate~ Brax ~My hands were tied to Sky’s as the circle was lit on fire placing a wall of fire between Willow and me. I looked into Sky’s eyes for the first time since this whole ceremony began and I started to feel something… A tug. Sky and I danced to a slow song only we could hear. My heartrate picked up as I realized that the ceremony was working, and I was starting to feel a pull from the mate bond.“Damn it! No, no, no! I don’t want this.” Sky looked shocked. I was breathing even harder now as I tried to look through the flames to find Willow. I was desperate to find her. I looked back at Sky. The tug was growing stronger.“Sky! I can’t do this!” I said frantically as I noticed the other couples hit their knees and markings began to be
Chapter 43: Tangled up in You pt. 1~ Willow ~I was lost in this feeling. Nothing in the world mattered but he and I. Shock, surprise, unexpected, all these words couldn’t explain what I felt in this moment. Brax is my fated mate. I looked at him. Hand in hand we were floating. The force of our flame was strong enough that our feet hovered just over the ground. We were covered in a beautiful royal purple flame. The combination of his blue and my deep red. His strong features looked exaggerated, and I didn’t think it was possible for him to become even more handsome, but here he was. Piercing blue eyes left no question as to how much this man loves me. Our love is so strong that our two gods blessed a Lycan and a dragon with a mate bond.Our feet lowered to the ground as we both let our flame dissipate. I felt such control over this flame, i
Chapter 56: Epilog - Meeting on Mount Olympus *** Mount Olympus *** All the Gods were called to meet in the assembly room of the palace. The dragon God Typhon walked in; the Moon Goddess Selene was at his side. They knew what this meeting was about, and they were prepared for it. “I wouldn’t walk in looking so content, Typhon.” Apollo sat back in his stone carved chair and crossed his legs. “I hope you know how bad a mess you and Selene have caused!” He spat out. “You must rid them of the new flame, Typhon! It’s far too dangerous for them to have such power. Something that can halt a God in his tracks is not a power that a Dragon, wolf, or Lycan should have.” Typhon crossed his arms as he leaned against the stonewall of the palace. Selene was still at his side. “Things happened the way that they had to Apollo! There was no other way around it.” Selene spoke with confidence. “Would you have rather shown yourself and fought Hades in person? The last time Typhon had to seal him aw
Chapter 55: Fate Had Other Plans~ Willow ~I nervously click my nails on the beautifully crafted oval table that sits in the middle of our new meeting hall. It is conveniently located on the ground floor of the new castle. To say I was excited to see my parents for the first time since the battle would be an understatement. It’s been three months of hell. Things were hard for a long time after the battle. Slowly things are starting to come back together.“I am not ready to pass the responsibilities of the pack over to Willow just yet, Gabriel. I believe we still have a good while before we are unable to manage things. Not to mention, our daughter is now Queen of the dragons and has a very capable mate by her side. If we need help, I am sure we can call them.” I smile at my mother.“Of cour
Chapter 54: Things Will Never Be the Same~ Brax ~The portal closed and the remaining demons went with it. They were sucked through the portal at the very last minute like a genie getting sucked back into its bottle. Their human vessels were lying dead. All strewn about as far as the eye can see. Willow hit her knees, clutching her face with both hands. Her body shook as she cried. Damn, I didn’t know the guy had a decent bone in his maggot body. I guess I should be thankful. I grabbed Willow and held her to me. She’s exhausted both physically and mentally. I think we all are, but her more so than others. Gabriel, Harper, Nix, Cam, and Mona ran up to Willow. Harper checked her for wounds. I stood just as my father made his way to me. He looks like shit.“Not as young as you once were, huh old man?” I joked. He slapped me on the
Chapter 53: Leaving it Here~ Willow ~“Wake up, Willow!” A familiar voice shook me awake. I blinked my eyes a few times, taking a moment to remember what happened. Everything hurts. “Willow, baby! Talk to me!” The voice pleaded with me to speak. Who am I looking at? When my clouded vision cleared, I saw his amber eyes staring back at me.“Drake?” I whispered.“Damn it, Willow! What the hell are you doing here? AHHH!” Drake screamed. He stood to his feet and fisted his hair. “Why the fuck would he let you be here!?” I could feel my broken bones beginning to heal. My Lycan abilities eclipsed the healing abilities of most mythical beings. Remembering Brax I threw my body upright. Damn the pain!&ldqu
Chapter 52: Chaos~ Drake ~The chaos surrounding me would taste sweet if I didn’t have to worry about Willow right now. She has to be here, hopefully she is tucked away somewhere safe until things are settled here. Maybe I can get her out of the castle before my father manages to kill everyone. Surely the dragon prince isn’t so pathetic that he would let her be involved in this fight.“You must be the famous dragon prince who wields the blue flame.” My father spoke directly to Brax. He growled back at my father, and I could tell they were both ready for this fight. My father, however, was in no hurry to end things. He wanted to enjoy himself by prolonging the suffering. Truth is, Brax has no chance of beating my father without the new flame. My dad is a deity, a God, none of these pathetic dragons have a chance.
Chapter 51: Sizzle~ Brax ~Every nerve in my body was screaming danger. The air was electrified, and the smell of something burning was thick, making it hard to breathe.“Fucking demons!” I hissed.“No!” Willow cried. “We aren’t ready!” I stood to my feet pulling Willow up with me. I looked out over the valley and noticed a horde of Demons stomping toward the castle. “Oh, god! There’s so many!” Willow screamed. Then an earth-shattering explosion erupted from the north side of the castle near the main entrance. It was so big that we could feel the tremors from here. I held Willow as the aftershock blew us both back and slammed us into the cave wall. My back hit the wall with a thud, the air was knocked from my lungs. I held Willow so tight, no
Chapter 50: Not Even Death~ Willow ~I felt excited as Brax, and I drifted out from underneath the forested area that covered the river. Not because our adventure was over, but because now we were floating through the mouth of a cave. The sound of rushing water was getting louder. Brax slid our tiny boat up onto a sandbar that was conveniently located near the edge of the cave, then he helped me out. The river was becoming more rapid, and the sound of rushing water echoed off the cave walls. I knew this meant a waterfall was near. A smile was plastered to my face as we walked hand in hand along the sandbar. I grew more eager with each step we took and soon misting water was tickling my cheeks. The full moon drew attention to the white water spilling down the cliff side. A magnificent moonbow magnified the sheer beauty of it all. My mouth dropped as I carefully made my way to the opening to gaze out. Bra
Chapter 49: Who Goes There?~ Willow ~“Will you ride me, baby?” He asked me with a tinge of amusement in his eyes. I couldn’t help but laugh at his dirty joke.“Just shift, Brax! You’re so dirty.” He laughed at me. In an instant, Brax had shifted to his magnificent black dragon. His scales had a shimmer of blues, greens, reds, and purples that appeared and disappeared depending on the direction the sunlight hit him. The spikes on the back of his neck stood at attention giving him a deadly look that was contradictory to the way he was acting right now. He gave me a huge toothy grin. Even though he was in his dragon form, Brax’s personality remained the same. The way his grin always turns up on one corner of his mouth is a characteristic that he does even in his dragon form. He lowered down so that I could climb
Chapter 48: Sexy a**hole~ Brax ~Willow knew exactly what she was doing when she stepped into this shower with me. Yeah, I had a bad day yesterday and I have a lot on my plate right now. I guess she could tell I didn’t wake up feeling like myself this morning. Leave it up to my little minx to turn the whole entire day right-side up, and the way she did it, damn. I mean, she just finished milking my cock until I pumped a huge load inside her but fuck, I could already go again. I look at her beautiful body standing under the stream of water in the shower. The way she washes her body taking her time with all her perfect curves. She starts on her hair and her whole body stretches as she lifts her arms to scrub her scalp. She arches her back and her ass looks fucking…Ugh, fuck! Is she purposely bending over in front of me? She looks back at me and shoots me a flirty smile. She is doing this on p
