My cheeks burned with heated embarrassment and I swear to the Gods, it was hotter than fire. I sounded and behaved like a completely insane person. Worse than that, I couldn’t take my eyes off him and the droplets of water going down his strong chest and sculpted abs.

He looked intently at me, his thing growing visibly hard and up automatically. I gasped, moving my eyes back to his face.

“Of course I do, Mallory.” His words took me by surprise, as I forgot how to breathe for a moment. Strangely, his non-denial paralysed me and all my confusion and embarrassment were replaced by fear and anxiety.

Why was I more afraid to be accepted and desired than being rejected by him? I guess that being rejected would be easier, and it would only confirm the way I already felt about myself. But to my utter shock, this incredible, handsome and kind man wanted me. Me.

Daniel turned off the water and to my relief wrapped a blue towel around his hips, hiding the proof of his desire from my s

    KemyI couldn’t say I didn’t miss it too. To feel his weight over me, his touches, his kisses and his hardness pressing against my thigh and making my body melt for him. My blood became molten lava as warm moisture was already gathering in the juncture between my thighs: my body was already ready to receive him. No, it was eager, feverish to have him inside, my inner walls were clenching around nothing, missing being filled by his thing.He pressed his lips on mine, and I licked his bottom lip, but before I could kiss him properly, his tongue invaded my mouth; he nibbled my bottom lip and sucked it slowly, taking control of the kiss, making my body mushy and my mind hazy. He pulled the hem of my dress up and I jerked my hips , helping him to remove my dress and place it under me.He took his shirt off and I couldn’t stop looking at his strong chest; it had some hair, which only made it look more manly

    Kemy “What is it, Henry?” I asked again.My stomach was churning and my blood was cold with dread. “They told me that if we don’t heal Ember soon, you will… we won’t be able to wake you up. If she dies, you will be lost forever in your dreams, Kemy. But we won’t let it happen,” he reassured me, cupping my face gently. My breath trembled and I sobbed, trying to swallow the lump that had just formed in my throat. My poor Ember. She couldn’t die. I couldn’t lose her. I couldn’t stay here caged forever in this soon-to-be nightmare completely alone. If I wouldn’t wake up anytime soon, I wouldn't want Henry to come, to have his heart broken and a life that was no reality, only an eternal suffocating dream. I couldn’t do it to him, he wanted a Luna, someone to rule alongside him, to live with him, and this dream-limbo was no life. I couldn’t drag him to my cursed life. I tried to push him away and sit up, but he only pulled me closer to his chest. After a few seconds, I snuggled up and

    AlmaI saw Alev head to the door and followed him as fast as my belly allowed me to with Egan right behind me. We could hear Alev’s words and I felt the surge of angry testosterone lifting in the air. I could even smell it. It was even mixed with Axe body spray. Men, I shook my head.“Alev and Niki just arrived from their party trip and we still didn’t have the time to update them, Henry. And Alev, Henry is here because he kind of lives here now,” I told them and Alev turned around to look at me, without moving from the front of the door or letting Henry in.He had a huge frown, even bigger than Daniel’s on a bad day, and his eyes were gleaming in a gold shade. He really hated werewolves and having a tall, hot and tanned Australian werewolf flirting with Niki a few months ago, really didn’t help him to like wolves any more. They were really too much. “Enough, Alev! Don’t look at my wife like that!” Egan intervened calmly but firmly, placing his protective arms around me and pulling m

    HenryAlma’s words sank in heavily and deeply like a stab. We didn’t have time, only a couple of days. I was about to lose my mate or at least to be condemned to only have a ‘life’ with her in our dreams. Half a life, in which I couldn’t give her all she needed and deserved: our pack, our pups, a real life together.I laid beside my mate and pressed her against my chest, wrapping my arms around her and exhaling deeply.Gloom made my blood cold in my veins. Without her, life was cold, dry, a stupid struggle to survive in a pack calloused by silence, frost and blood. Kemy was what motivated me to claim my life and my pack. To fight to have a good life, and give a good life to the wolves of my pack.She didn’t have time and I didn’t know what to do. Not even the Golden Dragons’ powerful magical instruments and relics could help her now. No f*cking

    Henry After laying in ‘my’ bed with Kemy, and cuddling with her, I could finally calm down and fall asleep to our dreams. I ran towards her as fast as I could and took her in my arms, pressing her against my chest like a desperate man. I was afraid as never before, afraid and pained for her, for me, for us. She deserved so much more than dreams, than this sleeping curse.“Henry, is everything okay?” her voice was muffled by my almost-crushing embrace. “Sorry,” I muttered, loosening my hold on her a little. My gaze was fixed on her worried eyes and I breathed deeply before I told her everything. I couldn’t keep it from Kemy, it was her life and her future and she needed to know it, “Alma said that Ember is almost dying, we only have a few days to wake you up. We can do it, I have an idea. It will work, it must work.” I babbled, without even stopping to breathe. “Henry,” she sighed deeply and gulped hard. “I’ve been thinking about it and concluded what must be the solution: mate

    Daniel After breakfast, Mallory and I started our flight. It would be good for her. Besides gaining confidence, she would reconnect to her dragon in a way only shifting allowed. Plus, she could use the distraction. She seemed very hesitant at the beginning as Alessia moved her wings slowly, not wanting to leave the ground of the mansion’s ‘flight track’ we improvised at the back of the garden. Aelred nuzzled Alessia’s side gently encouraging her, and she released a sound of contentment, her light caramel eyes fixed on him. Alessia was a beautiful dragon, small and gracious. She was also a young dragon, around thirty-three years old, only a child in dragon age. “You can do it, Mallory. Just give Alessia’s complete control and let her instincts take over,” I mind-linked her. She only needed a sliver of confidence to start flying. Alessia whined in response and flapped her wings faster, took a few steps back to gain impulse and ran forward, gaining the skies. I smiled inwardly; she

    Mallory Alessia and Aelred woke up after a few hours and started nuzzling and kissing each other again. He enveloped her much smaller frame with his wings embracing her, as he covered her face with sweet licks, making her rumble happily. Suddenly, she did something she had never done before, pushing back and shifting to my form. What was this funny dragon doing? I shook my head and she only hummed in my mind in response as I stood there in front of Aelred. He was a very large dragon, even for a fully-grown adult male, and was towering over me. His gentle deep golden eyes were fixed on mine and he leaned down slowly nuzzling my shoulder and lowering his head for me to pat him. A smile formed on my face at his sweetness, and I laced my arms around his neck, planting a kiss on his cheek. “Aelred, you are so beautiful,” I beamed as he rubbed his head against my hand, almost purring like a cat. Maybe that was what Alessia wanted, for me to be close to Aelred, to bond with him as wel

    Alma“My Love, everything is going well,” Egan’s voice filled my ears. He had a nervous smile on his face and a look of absolute love in his hazel and blue eyes.Marion was right behind him, a white bundle on her arms. “Alma, this is your son,” she beamed as tears of joy slid down her face. She brought the little bundle closer to me and an insanely huge smile formed on my face as I saw his little red one, his perfect little nose and his big open eyes looking intently at me. “I love you so much, my Ruby,” Egan pressed a couple of kisses on my head, and reached to take the baby from Marion’s arms to show our baby boy to me.As she was about to give the baby to Egan, even though I shouldn’t be feeling anything in my downtown area, I felt a scorching burning sensation that made me scream out loud. I was on fire, literally. I couldn’t really discern what was happening, everything was blurry and hazy. All at once, I heard yelling, sobs, baby cries, Doctor Emily saying something and Egan

    HenryAfter Mallory left to go to sleep, I laid on our bed and took my Kemy in my arms.“How are you, Sweetness?” I caressed her face, brushing a stray lock of her light brown hair behind her ear.A sigh left her juicy lips, but it was soon replaced by a small smile, “I am fine. It might sound crazy, but I am less afraid now. What happened today showed me that I can manage to stand on my feet and face the challenges that might come my way, even when at first I fail or hesitate. Besides, knowing that the doctor isn’t around anymore, makes me feel safer.”“The others told me that the rest of the Red Dragons don’t know that the doctor and his gang came here. You are safe now.” My arms tightened around her as I pulled her into my chest.“We will always protect her. Her and Ember,” Knight roared in my mind and I couldn’t agree more.Our mate was safe now, in her Dragon and human form. I wished all the danger and challenges were finally over, but I knew our battles were only beginning, and

    KemyAs soon as we learned about the chip implanted in the nape of my neck, Marion gave me a pain-killer concoction made by Niki and removed the chip from my skin using a sterilized knife. Henry held my hand through the small procedure, even though it didn’t hurt as much as I expected, having my mate by my side made it much easier. Marion didn’t waste time and melted the microchip using her fire.After a couple of hours, Mal came to my bedroom. The corner of her lips were twisted down and her face was contorted with something deeper than sadness as she sat on my bed by my side.I had so much to tell her, that I didn’t know where to start from and I could feel she also had something to say.

My dragon grumbled in my mind, releasing a grumpy roar, he didn’t want to leave her, neither did I. But I needed answers and I needed that bloody doctor dead soon.My legs marched to the dungeon, and the pathetic coward flinched as soon as he saw me. He could surely see his approaching death in my eyes.My fist was already in flames before I even reached him. Without losing any time, I punched him in the face over and over again.“Tell me their bloody names. Tell me the names

You should increase the dose of drugs and hormone injections. Find a way to make this woman able to conceive my children!” he yelled at the doctor, cold rage radiating from him and making my stomach clench.He was a monster and there was nothing I loathed more than having him inside me.

    DanielI held Mallory’s hand as we walked down to the basement where Egan had a small dungeon built with only a few cells. When one has as many enemies as our clan has, this kind of place comes in handy.One of the Red Dragons was chained to the wall, surrounded by Egan, Alev and Adrian. My gaze moved to my mate, but she seemed surprisingly unfazed by the scene unfolding before her eyes.“He was the doctor responsible for experimenting on Kemy. We still have many questions to ask him, before he becomes ashes. So far he had only told us that no one else knows where we are.They came here without telling anything to their Lord.” Egan said firmly and calmly, looking between us and the chained prisoner.Mallory’s heart q
