The Assassin Chapter 17: Zephyr
I don’t know why Ishir’s dominating personality is so sexy to me. I’m a dragon, I should be the one dominating, but for once, I don’t have to be in control. I can let go, and just allow myself to feel, to be. Maybe if I was stronger, he wouldn’t have been able to overwhelm me so easily, but between his scent, his growling, or maybe now it’s purring, I’m not even sure anymore, I'm overwhelmed. All I know is that the dragon in me is thrilled that Ishir is deep inside me, stretching me, filling me as he pins my hands over my head and insists that I continue to tell him that I’m his. After the first few orgasms, I begin to feel whole again, begin to have more awareness of my mate and begin the feel the strength of having this powerful man between my legs. I’m not sure when the switch goes off in my head, but when it does, I growl my dragon’s growl and before Ishir knows what’s happening, I have our positions reversed. Now I’m on top, leaning over him and holding his arms above his head.

While I’ve become accustomed to being in Zephyr’s mind, it’s still strange hearing that prick, Oliver, through her mind as he talks to my mate. I can feel Zephyr fighting me when I tell her walk away, but I know terrorists and Oliver is nothing more than a low-level terrorist. I’ve had enough of him running the show and bullying my dragon into doing things that she would never have done on her own. When he calls Zephyr back, I feel her relax, and I can feel through our bond that her trust in me increased. I need that, I want that. Eventually, I want her to believe in me and listen to what I have to say because she trusts me, not because I’m forcing it. We’re not there yet, but we’re getting there. I’m on the verge of bursting into the room to get her out of there and away from him, when thankfully, she listens to me and walks out. It would not be helpful to Ancalagon or Zephyr if Oliver realized that I was alive and Zephyr was no longer under his control. One week. That’s the timefr

It feels like longer than normal since I smelled my Sunshine and heard her sweet voice. I hope she didn’t get punished trying to get to me. I miss her and I try to keep track of how long it is between times that I see her, but once they pump me with whatever they are putting in me, I lose all track of time. I’m struggling to stay calm, needing to smell my addiction, my sunshine, when I hear my mother’s voice. “Ancalagon!” He told me my mother was dead. He said he sent her to kill her mate knowing it would kill her because I was close to being ready. Ready for what, I wasn’t sure. All I know is that they’ve been pumping me more frequently lately, and my mother, who I thought was dead, is alive. When my mother tells me to hold on once more, I tell her to hurry. I truly don’t know how much more of this I can take. I’ve been strapped down too long, the only scent of fresh air that I get is from my Sunshine and I don’t remember the last time I saw her. This time, I hear the microphone

We found him, we finally found Ancalagon! I don’t understand why my son smells like all of the elements, but I don’t care. I’ll worry about that once I have him away from here and safely with me again. Ishir told me to stay with him and thankfully, he’s hunting Oliver and going after Ancalagon. The three of us, Avani, Merethyl and I, follow Ishir through several tunnels, finally getting to a steal door that is locked tight. Ishir puts his nose in the air, and I connect with his mind, smelling the scents that he smells. Hunters, scientists, Ancalagon and other scents, the scents of shifters and supernaturals, but the scents are off. Very, very off. This must be another lair where they have been doing experiments with shifters and supernaturals. He turns and looks at us. “Are you ready? Once we go in, the fight is on.” “Ready,” Avani and I say together. Merethyl nods and Ishir turns back to the door, his giant hands turning into paws with huge claws, and he slams them against the do

Ancalagon’s lament is breaking my heart. I’m not sure what happened or why he’s lamenting but we have to get him farther away from the city. We already had six dragons and a fiery inferno in the middle of the city. His heartbreaking cry will only attract more attention. ‘He needs to rest, he is hurting,’ Zephyr says in my head. ‘We can’t stop, Zephyr. We’re too close to the city, we have to get away before the humans see us. And since Tana, Kenna and Kaylani are still there, trying to help the others, we’ll only put them at risk,” I tell her. ‘He can’t go on, Ishir.’ ‘Zephyr, if Oliver isn’t dead, or there is another hunter or scientist that survived, they could get to another laboratory and they could blow the explosive that we know is in Ancalagon’s brain. We are under a time crunch here. I know you’re upset, he’s obviously upset too, but we have to keep moving,’ I tell her. “Just follow me, Ancalagon. We’ll get you someplace safe.” “I can’t. I can’t. I killed her,” he cries.

I turn from Avani to look at my son, my eyes wide. Four explosives? “Then, we’d better start getting them out,” Ancalagon says quietly. ‘So much stronger than his mother.’ ‘She’d never have survived what he has.’ ‘She’s worthless, can’t even protect her own son.’ Ishir’s snarl snaps my attention back to him. He pulls me to him, putting his mouth to my ear. “Focus, Zephyr. Ancalagon is safe and we’re going to keep him that way. But I need you to stay focused and be here with me,” he says. I tuck my face against his neck, inhaling his exotic, earthy scent. When I feel settled, I nod and step back, suddenly realizing that everyone has stopped and is watching me. “I’m okay. We need to focus on Ancalagon,” I say. Ancalagon leans his large head over, nudging me. “Are you sure you’re okay, mother?” I slide my hands over his snout, laying my head on him. “Yes, my brave son. I’m fine. Let’s get those nasty explosives out of your head.” “I just want to repeat, it’s going to be painful

We convince Ancalagon to rest overnight. Zephyr and I have never been to the ranch where Everett and Kaylani have been bringing the juvenile dragons that I’ve helped save. Kaylani shows Ancalagon where he can rest, having created places that are high up on a mountain, places inside a cave and even some places that are out in the open, so each shifter can choose their preference. I stop, looking around after we get Cal settled. I lift my head back and take a deep breath. “It’s very peaceful here,” I say softly, keeping my eyes closed and smelling the scents of multiple dragons, hybrid shifters, and wild animals that live nearby, but otherwise, I smell nothing but some far off firepits and fresh, clean air. It’s a huge difference from being in the city. “My sister has always been much calmer than I am, much calmer than all of us really. Maybe it’s the water, I’m not sure, but everywhere she goes, she brings peace with her." I can hear the dragons calling to each other as the sun sets

The next morning, I go out to spend time with Ancalagon and the other dragons. I realize that their abuse at the hands of Oliver and The Chief may not have been the same as mine, but they are all suffering in their own ways. I let Ancalagon know that we’ll be checking out the space where we found him tonight and he immediately asks to join us. I really don’t want him to come, I want to protect him, but Ishir told me that he needs this. So, I tell him yes. I follow Kaylani and Everett around, checking over the dragonlings. Some are younger than others and some are getting closer to the their fifth birthdays when they will finally shift and get their human form. “How do you feel about having some of these little ones having your DNA, Kaylani?” I ask her. My sister as always wanted a child, but she was never able to have one, not even with Avani. “Mixed feelings I guess. It’s nice to know that I have what you could call true children, and that the water dragon line won’t die with me,

The Assassin Epilogue 2: Zephyr
Three months later I’m in the kitchen of my new home, my daughter in a swing out of the way but where I can still see her and my newborn son in a bassinet in the next room. Having two children four months apart has been a challenge, especially when you add on that our house was being built and the surprise that we have planned for today. It’s a big one and I’m so nervous that I feel sick. ‘Easy Zephyr. Everything will be fine, you’ll see,’ my mate coos at me through our mind link. I tap into his mind and realize that somehow my mate snuck in, and my daughter is now strapped against his chest while he’s outside setting up the fire pit for the dragons. We decided to cover up our surprise with an ‘open house’, inviting everyone so all of our friends could be here ot witness the event today. “I can’t believe you had another baby before I had mine,” Merethyl says coming in with Terra, their little girl, another dragon. “Tiger and dragon gestations are similar so I’m only pregnant 3 mo
The Assassin Epilogue 1: Ishir
One month later “Take a look at this, Ish,” Cedric says to me. He and I have been hunting the hybrids that we know are out here, but so far, they are adept at evading us. However, they leave their trail of devastation behind them. “They’re getting more violent,” I say to him. “Yes, I’m starting to be able to distinguish between the two groups. The first group of hybrids seems to kill to eat and they clean up everything but the blood. This group…” “They’re starting to enjoy the kill,” I finish for him. “And they’re upping their game. It’s as if they are practicing, almost like they are planning on attacking something larger, or stronger,” he says looking at me meaningfully. “If they come for our dragons, they will meet their match, and their end,” I say. “If they come anywhere near my children or my pack, I’ll destroy them. I was willing to help them before and maybe we can still help the other group, but this one? I’m not sure they want our help.” “This is the group that had a
The Assassin Chapter 65: Zephyr
When we couldn’t find Sunshine, we went back for Oliver, only to find that he’d been killed and eaten. “Hybrids,” Ishir had confirmed when we landed and saw the blood everywhere, more blood than when we’d left behind. Through our combined senses, I could smell them. “Should we go after them?” I ask him. I stay in my dragon form in case I need to quickly attack or defend, as Ishir is kneeling on the ground near the blood. “Zeph, this is violent. There's a lot of blood here. I mean, you and I are used to violence, we’re animals, but this is something else, this is vicious. I don’t want you near this,” he tells me, standing. “Ishir, I’m a dragon. I can handle vicious.” “You’re my dragon, Zephyr and you’re the mother of my kitten. You may be a strong and powerful dragon, but you have a soft heart. Let me protect you from this. I’ll get Cedric and we’ll go searching for them. You’ve suffered enough violence at Oliver’s hand. I’ll take it from here,” he says, stroking my snout as he ta
The Assassin Chapter 64: Eliane
I lay here, strapped to the bed, like I have been for what seems like forever. It’s been a long time, two weeks, if my calculations are right, which is questionable since there are no windows in this room. But if I’m right, it’s been two weeks since my father was here. I’m not sure which is worse, the pain or the hunger. It only felt like a couple days after he left, that the man who gives me the injections left too and he hasn’t been back. I was okay for awhile because I had the IV fluids dripping into my body, but that dried up over a week ago. I’ve relieved myself multiple times and now everything in here smells terrible, the area between my legs feels raw and I'm worried it's getting infected, which it probably is. I hear the pitiful sound of the creature in the other room. He sounds so much like Ancalagon. I have no idea if it’s him or not, but I hope not. Once again, we’re trapped underground. “Cal, if you can hear me, I’m here. I know, I’m hungry too. I’m sure my father will
The Assassin Chapter 63: Oliver
I hadn’t expected them to be back so soon. They’ve never returned so quickly after finding one of my laboratories. In fact, the last time, they burned it down, releasing all my subjects. This time, my subjects had escaped on their own. I had been watching from my personal laboratory since my lead scientist told me that the shifts were imminent. He wasn’t wrong, but what we didn’t expect was that they would grow to sizes that burst through their cages. They had become wild, killing the scientists before helping the others escape. The dragon and the tiger wouldn’t have known that some of the humans that had been laying on the ground, had become snacks for the vicious creatures, as they fed on their way toward freedom. Once again, I’ve been thwarted because my scientists don’t seem to know what they are doing. Thank goodness my “daughter” and her future mate are both still under my control. Eliane has been responding well to the treatments, almost as well as the dragon. I’m hoping tha
The Assassin Chapter 62: Zephyr
The voices in my head have started screaming again, only this time, they are telling me to do something, anything to help the children that this monster is killing. I’m stronger now, so I shut my mind off from Ishir. He is helping that boy, helping Everett and Kaylani try to save him, and while he does that, I go to Cyrene. I know what I have to do even if it kills me. I pick her up, kissing her and smelling her sweet, exotic scent, a mix of mine and Ishir's. “Zephyr?” Nova’s quiet voice asks from the doorway. I take one more deep breath of my daughter’s scent, then put her back in her crib before turning to Nova. She’s breathing heavily and there are tears in her eyes. “What’s going on?” “I have to go end this Nova. I can’t let Oliver and his men hurt you or any of these children any more. It will never stop while he’s alive.” Her lips quiver and she rushes to me, wrapping her arms around me. “Please come back to me. You’re the only family I have, Zephyr, you and Ishir. I love
The Assassin Chapter 61: Ishir
I pick up the boy, which is about all I can tell about this poor creature. He shifted and his body didn’t take it well. Whatever his primary DNA is, it isn’t elf or dragon. “Here, call Everett and let him know we’re coming in with one," I say, handing Zephyr my phone. "Did you check the other rooms?” “Yes, the others are dead, but he’s alive,” she says as she dials and heads outside. I race back to the office, grabbing as much as I can carry in one hand including the computer, while carrying the boy with the other. I don’t have time to rip out the cameras, so it’s possible Oliver will see that we were here. Hopefully, I can tap into the feed online and block it, but I need to take care of this boy first. I run outside, picking up my phone where Zephyr left it before racing up her back. I’ve barely gotten settled before she’s lifting off and flying faster than she’s ever flown before with me on her back. “Hang on, buddy. We have a doctor that can help you. Just hang on until we ca
The Assassin Chapter 60: Ishir
‘Have you ever been to this city?’ Zephyr asks me in the mind link as we fly. ‘Just once,’ I say hesitantly. It was when I was searching for the assassin, before I knew that it was her. ‘Oh,’ she says. ‘So, anything in particular I need to know about this city?’ ‘It’s smaller than the one where Tana’s penthouse is,’ I tell her. ‘So, hopefully it will be easier for us to find him?’ she asks. ‘Let’s hope,’ I say. We land outside the city and once again, I take in the gorgeous view of my mate in her dragon form. She is spectacular. I missed seeing her while she was pregnant. I stroke my hand down her chest and under her wing. She turns her head to watch me as her body quivers at my touch. “Truly, I have no idea what I did to deserve such a beautiful, wild and fierce creature like you,” I tell her, opening up to her so she can feel my love for her. At times like right now, it hits me like a freight train. “Sometimes, I love you so much that it hurts, Zephyr,” I tell her, leaning ag
The Assassin Chapter 59: Zephyr
After Ishir told me that the hybrids must have been close when we were there and that they came back and finished off the animals that they had started to eat, I knew we needed to get back out and start looking for them again. Avani took Merethyl to his cave of treasures. He has done that with all of her pregnancies because his DNA in their child mingles with hers and she begins to talk and act like a dragon. This time seems a bit easier than what I’ve heard of the first two, or maybe Avani is better at reading the signs and getting her away earlier. He took her early this time, so they will most likely be gone for two to three months, meaning we've lost one of our search party. He told Ishir that he will continue to search for the hybrids near his cave of treasures, but he won’t leave Merethyl for long periods of time and once she is completely overwhelmed by the dragon DNA, thinking she’s a dragon, she won’t leave the cave until she delivers. They’re having a girl this time, anothe
