My name is Ember Haiven. I’ve been alone and on the run my entire life. Everything changed when I became Kieran’s surrogate in exchange for his protection. I had no idea that I would fall in love with this dragon shifter and enter a world that I believed existed only in my dreams. “Is that what you want?” he asked. “Yes…” I said feeling myself go breathless in his arms. “I never thought I’d be able to touch another person like this and now, I just don’t want this feeling to end.” He kissed me sweetly, pulling me closer and then rested his forehead against mine. I could see the color drain from his face and his shoulders sag like I’d ripped the heart from his chest. And maybe I had. It felt like my own was trying to claw its way from my skin. He moved to take a step forward but then thought better of it. Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon is written by Claire Wilkins, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Alisha pov :
" Walking on this plain ground, while the cool Breeze is hitting my skin and making chills wherever it touches my bare skin , it is sooting all my nerves.
Its such an everlasting feeling making me wanderer in this vast, cold and yet beautiful universe ...................................... .............,.............................................................I was writing my short story when the door of my room suddenly knocked by my mom.
"Alisha baby are you gonna eat some food or you will be in your room whole day without eating any food" My mom asked me with hint of anger in her voice.
"Mom I will eat of course, but after completing what I want to write.. " I said to her with a smily face.
"Yes baby of course, but food and health first, Now get up and eat then you can do your writing things as long as you want.." My mom said to me while Handling me a plate full of eggs, roasted chicken and my favorite cabbage salad.
When I see the food on her hands, my stomach grumbled immediately. My mom smiled at the sound of my stomach, I take the food and started eating.My mom is one of the best things that happened to me. She is the most supportive, active mom I could ever ask. She loves me a lot, moreover she understands me a lot.
So, how about your studies Alisha, she asked me while I'm eating, well mom as you know I applied for Cambridge University to do masters in English literature so I'm just waiting for the updates of my application whether I selected or not..! I told her with a casual tone.
" Ok dear, that's cool I'm sure you will get selected, don't worry..," she said to me with a hopeful as well as cheerful expression.
No mom, I'm not worrying.
"Ok dear I got some work to do and I'm running late to school " with those words my mom went out of the room hurriedly.
My parents both are teachers. My mom Mrs.Lara Heathway is a biology teacher in Inglewood public school.
My dad Mr. Calum Heathway is a correspondent in Inglewood public school and he also teaches physics and mathematics.
My dad's childhood dream is to start the best school in our so called small village in England called INGLEWOOD.
He studied well and married my mom after he completed his graduation in both mathematics and physics. You know like most of the students moving to cities and settles their career in cities but my dad chooses different, He came back to his hometown and established a new school with all the facilities he could provided to the children and youngers in our village.
Our's is a small beautiful town called Inglewood, it is located on the west coast of England, maybe it doesn't have the tall buildings and luxury things as like most of the cities, but it has all the comforts and needs one can ask for .
The additional point of our village is , it has more calm and peacefulness, it has a few old castles with lush greenery, and the sunsets from our village is the most beautiful scene one can ever see in their whole life..!
It's 2 pm now, I did my lunch and went to kitchen to wash my plate. I'm the only one in home who has nothing to work since my school was completed over a week ago. I'm hopefully waiting to join in masters in Cambridge University.
I went back to my room with a cup of yogurt , my mom and dad will come to home at 5pm everyday.
And I had an younger brother who is studying 8th grade in Inglewood public school.
He is a game struck kid, and he is curious about many things. He go to school by school bus cause my dad insisted him to take school bus and get mingle with other classmates.At 5pm both my mom and dad came home in our suv car, its a daily routine for me to greet my dad and mom hows their day, my dad came to the hall and grab a bottle of mint juice while talking to me, I told my dad that I forget my phone in my room so I went there and took my phone, there is a new email notification lighting on my phone, I opened it and the email was from Cambridge university.
I opened it and it shows that " Dear Ms. Alisha Heathway your application is approved for doing masters in English literature and class works, commencement dates can be shown in the below table "
I'm madly happy right now, like literally my face is glowing like a thousand watt bulb.
I don't know why there could be many reasons , but i always wanted to be a writer from childhood. I don't know the reasons behind my dream clearly.
But the thought of being a writer made me to think, feel , every moment of life. I wanted to put it on a paper every moment of life. It gives me peace and makes me to think more intuitively. Every one can do a job they like, but only writers can get a chance to create an imaginary world with their fascinations to the perspective of the world or outer world.It is the pure form of Art, from the beginning of the universe to the depths of the ocean, all takes birth from the probabilities to the possibilities lies in a man's Thinking and creative capability.
I came to downstairs and yell at my mom and dad that I got selected for doing masters in Cambridge and I had to go to London on Wednesday.
They both are very happy and hugged me with happy tears reflecting in their eyes. Their eyes are shining with happiness.
I'm the happiest than my parents cause I am excited to see the city atmosphere from my childhood also, I dreamt of living in a city mostly for working. I want to publish my writings and I want to open a publishing house like my own. Going to London is like a ticket to my dreams.
I want to share this news with my best friend Amanda who is living in London. She is doing a job as a financial assistant in Hamilton enterprises company. She is from Inglewood , just like me she had her dreams to pursue in London. She went a year back to London. I decided that I want to be with her in her apartment. I don't want to stay in those dorm rooms in university, cause I want to hustle more in my dream city London.
I called her but she didn't pick up her phone, I guess she became busy these days , she is barely talking to me. Maybe she will text me back or call me after she saw my messages.
My brother came home, he is the cutest of our family. His name is Adam Heathway. He is studying 9th grade in Inglewood public school. He is always interested in sports.
He sits on the couch drinking his favorite lemonade , I walk a couple of steps to go near him and sits beside him telling that I got selected to do my masters in Cambridge University, in London.
He stopped drinking and looked at me with his eyes popping. I can't understand that he is happy or not , his expressions are confusing now. He first congratulated me and later he looked at me with sad eyes indicating that " I don't want you to leave from here.. I feel kinda bored without you and it's hard to admit but I'm admitting that I'll kinda missed you Alish..!! " I can't believe he said those words cause we always quarrel but we are attached though.
My brother came a quit bit emotional by saying these words.. We both know that we always quarrel about small things, but at last we are bounded to one another even though we fought for everyday.
Although it's a bit of sad for me to leave my family for the first time.. But I have to inculcate to live by my own.Iam wondering how will be my days in London, but it's new for me to leave my family behind here, and yet at the same time I'm feeling excited to go to London. I'm hoping that I'll make some new good friends in university.

yours truly athena_may ;*Ember*The day finally came where we were able to welcome our baby into the world. The way I felt about being able to give birth in my new home and kingdom felt truly special. I had come to view the Burning Isles as my home, too. In the days leading up to the baby's birth we had fixed up the castle to it's former glory with everyone's magical touch and expertise. We redecorated with Kieran’s emblem, one that he had newly created to represent us both. We patched up the walls and hung more lights in the halls. The colors had changed, the castle seemed brighter and happier than it had been when we first arrived. The throne room had transformed into different sections to include tables filled with maps, another was filled with plans for beautifying the farmlands with different crops, and the other was contracts with different merchants selling in the castle courtyard. Life was restarting here, and to see Kieran really step into his role as a leader was inspiring. I was so grate
*Kieran*Ember was truly glowing after she returned from the trial near the Tree of Life. I was thrilled to have her back. No… I was elated. I wanted to celebrate the great news that she could continue to stay here in the Burning Isles.I brought her to the master bedroom telling her about how we helped settle the refugees into rooms of their own. Yarin was helping delegate tasks to the refugees, giving them jobs around the castle. I promised all of them ample compensation and shelter here at the castle as long as they desired. If one day they wished to leave, I guaranteed they could leave whenever they'd like. My uncle had forced the servants and mages to stay here at the castle against their will. There would be no more dictatorship here. I wanted the people of the Burning Isles to have full amenity over their lives. Freedom was the most important thing to these people now, and I intended to make sure they had it.I sat on the bed watching Ember explore our bedroom that we w
*Ember*I stared up into Kieran's eyes wrapping my arms around his neck."What do you want me to promise?" I asked looking deep into his eyes."Promise you'll come back in one piece, and stay by my side forever? Help me raise our kid? They'll need to hear all of your awful jokes and puns." Kieran teased booping my nose with his. "Wow," I said, shaking my head at him. "Thanks for the pep talk. I'll be sure to run back so I can get started on that."He smiled at my sarcasm, "No problem," he paused as his smile disappeared. "Seriously though, just come back to me.""I will," I said, pulling him in for a kiss. After saying goodbye I walked away from Kieran and Yarin who were starting to help refugees find rooms, the castle was so large it made sense to share it. I couldn't help but wonder how it would turn out, and I couldn't wait to get back to see it. I found my way outside the castle and found the back stairs that took me down the mountain side. I could see the field bel
*Ember*We were watching the large group of refugees from Yarin's camp congregate into the throne room, eager to help give them a place they can call home. I felt privileged and extremely honored to watch this monumental moment in Kieran's first few days as king of the Burning Isles. He seemed quiet and I looked over at him to observe a small smile curling the corners of his mouth. There was a sparkle in his eye as if he had something on his mind."I have an idea," he said, turning to look at me as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder."Oh?" I asked, raising an eyebrow."We can ask Yarin for help with the spell. She may know of a way to either reverse the spell or tamper with it. She's a very powerful mage, and since we are helping her people she may be willing to help us with this," Kieran said, pulling me close against him. "We could be together, with our child like we are meant to be."He placed a hand over my stomach, brushing slightly with his finger. I swore I could
*Ember*Changing back into her human form, Cassidy looked worse for wear with sweat dripping down her forehead and her makeup smeared. She breathed in heavily, holding her hands up in defeat. With a smirk she said, "You win, little one. Fair and square."I narrowed my eyes at her as I extinguished my flames. "That was not our agreement. You didn't follow through with your vow.""Oh Whatever… you're a fire mage… you were strong enough to maim me. Thanks for those burns by the way. You did well for a human," she whispered before Yarin and Kieran's footsteps came running down the sandpit toward us."You did it, Ember!" Kieran shouted excitedly pulling me away from Cassidy and giving me a big hug. He pulled away from me and looked Cassidy up and down with a judgmental look. "Ember, you defeated her dragon form too.""Yes, great job!" Yarin clapped nearby offering me a kind smile."Ember Haiven, you have won Kieran Dzianis' hand in marriage fair and square in a duel with me,"
*Ember*I fumbled around reaching for his hands, "Kieran, how do you think I felt when I saw you up in the air fighting your uncle?""Point taken, but I am still worried," he said."We are going around in circles with this discussion. For now, let’s get some sleep. If I don't rest, I won't be at my best for tomorrow," I explained."Can't have that," he whispered and we pulled the sheets over us, holding one another close."Kieran?" I asked as our breathing slowed. My eyes were drooping with sleep and exhaustion. "Yeah?" He asked."You did great today. Let's not forget how you just vanquished your most formidable foe. I am proud of you," I said sincerely."Thank you, Ember, you’re right. He's finally gone," Kieran sighed, like it was finally hitting him that it was over. "Good night."I answered back as I kissed him on the cheek before falling asleep, "Good night."The next day I was able to actually take a look around the castle without feeling impending doom. W
