Samuels Pov"Mate" Xavier said, and all heads turned to her. My beautiful mate. My Jasmine. She was here and looking just as beautiful yet deadly. She said she had a plan, but she told me to stay away. She should have known we wouldn't listen. Not with too much on the line. She walked towards us with her eyes trained on Xavier only. Within seconds she had come close to him before Katie stepped in front of him. "Close enough", She growled, but Jasmine simply waved her hand and Katie went flying towards a tree and a plop was heard. A few of the demon herd went to check on her. "She is dead, my lord" one of them replied, and suddenly, all their eyes looked at Jasmine in both fear and anger. Xavier didn't even look fazed. He simply shrugged it off and held his arms out as he looked up at the moon, which was almost at its peak. Jasmine just stood in front of him, with her hands behind her back. Her eyes locked on Xavier only. "Did you enjoy seeing the ghost of your brother? I sent him t

Whoever took me blindfolded me, undressed me, strapped me to a cold table, and took away my hearing. A witch must be involved. I have this pain on the side of my neck where it feels like something has been feeding on me. A sharp pain in my arm feels like a needle is being put in. So quiet. I can't hear my wolf. This person found a way to cut my connection to my spirit, so I can't heal. I feel something cold trailing in my veins, and I shake. Are they medicating me? I feel cold. I feel numb. My body starts to shake from whatever drugs they are inducing me with. Harmon. My Harmon. My mate is probably burning up
Ava Pov ( Present time) Two weeks. That's how long it's been since we last saw Brandon and the last time I saw my mate, Atlas. The whole castle was on high alert. Snatched right from under our noses. Brandon is a fighter and, with his wolf, extremely strong, so how was something like this even made possible? Samael and Jasmine checked the security cameras but found nothing. No break-ins, nothing. Harmon wasn't herself. She spends most of her time scouring trees in other states, not returning any of our phone calls or answering any links from Samael, even though I feel like he knows where she is and isn't telling anyone. I didn't even know when I would see her again until she popped up here in the castle, clawing at her chest. " He's gone. He's gone" is all she kept saying. Her wolf, out of the two of them, in this situation was the most responsive, even though she was hurt as well. She told us how they were jumping through trees in the east of England when she felt the bomb between
Atlas Pov (Five years before the last battle from book one) Peace. What is that? There is no peace for a king who controls an entire kingdom. Especially when this beautiful kingdom has no Queen to help protect her. My beautiful kingdom of Draconis. We are the most powerful kingdom in our dragon realm that is called Shadows. I stood on the balcony of my red and black trimmed room. The view overlooks the kingdom all together as the black bricks of the 900-year-old castle stand over 300 feet tall, nearly reaching the yellow clouds. To any newcomer, the view here would be magnificent, and rightfully so. Surrounding my castle are the homes of the families close to the royals. Farther out are the extended families and friends. Farther out from them is Azure Lake. It is a mystical lake blessed by our god, Typhon, that allows our other half to heal if injured in any way. It stretches out over three miles, with many beautiful flowers surrounding it, courtesy of the planters my mother hired be
5 years earlier continued...........Atlas PovAs I approached, the big room went silent after everyone stood up from their chairs, as is custom for the King and Queen before dinner, and waited until I sat down at the head of the table before taking their seats. I always thought the custom was ridiculous but none of them wanted to change it, so now I just overlook it. The huge table had already been set with cutlery and a wide spread of food, as dragons consumed large amounts of energy and we were always hungry. I have been having dinner in my own room lately. I took note of everyone here.My uncle Ellis sat at the other end of the long table, since other than myself and my brother, he was the most respected. Not only that, he is my most trusted advisor and second in command of my army. Almost like a second father. None of us knew how old he was, as like my dad. Only his black hair and green eyes told his age, as they seemed to always look tired. Beside him on the right sat his wife,
5 years earlier continued...........Adam Pov The Witch kingdom of shadows. From far away, it would look like a black abandoned house, with holes in the roof and a few abandoned huts surrounding it, but for dragons, we could see it for what it truly was. Their black castle almost rivaled ours since they renovated it recently, thanks to their new queen. The grass was green and kept, most likely with their spells and such. Before the new queen's reign, we hadn't had many issues with them. The old queen kept the witches in check, and we even had an alliance with the witches, but then she passed away 13 years ago due to circumstances out of her control. Ever since, the witches have been out of control, becoming darker with their magic, and bolder with their attacks, especially with their new queen. Atlas was always under the impression that it was the witches who took our mother, but Sorena says there was no activity or plans that she heard of regarding mom, so I dismissed it. I landed
Atlas Pov (Present time) My thoughts played over and over as I continued my search for someone to help me get back to my kingdom. For three weeks I had been free, but unable to locate anyone that could help. This land was so bright and different from mine. I imagine it's very bright due to the five years of captivity I have had to endure due to that demon. It was made clear that it was the son of the Demon lord that resides in hell, which explains how he was strong enough to hold not only me, but Kai as well. The bars of that cell were made of the coldest neon crystals, which is not deadly to dragons unless pierced through the heart, but it can weaken us tremendously due to the coldness of its nature. The day was ending as I concluded my search. I headed back to the cave I had been staying in, flying high above the clouds so I would not be spotted. All I came across were werewolves, and none of them were too keen on helping me. I had considered going to Jessica, as I knew where she w
Ava Pov After another few days of scrying for Brandon's body, I came up with nothing. Neither did Samael or Jasmine. Every time I used my powers, I felt stronger and stronger. Where the energy came from, I had no idea, but I wasn't asking questions. I still have a mission. Dreams. I was dreaming, that was for sure, but this was more of a vision I was having. I wasn't walking anyone's dream, but a part of me knew I was witnessing events that had already come to pass, long ago. I was in a realm I had never seen before. The sky was red, with yellow clouds. There was a huge lake that reeked of unknown power. A woman was there, planting flowers. She had the longest black hair I had ever seen as it hung low to her waist. I approached closer and saw that her eyes were silver. Very beautiful indeed. She looked up as I approached her, and I started to introduce myself when I realized she was not looking at me. She was looking past me. I turned around, only to be greeted by a familiar face.
