KemyMy eyes open in a wild surprise. That couldn’t be, I thought it was impossible. I felt Ember, I felt her communicate with the wolf within the man. “Ember, how could you reach him?” I asked in shock. Dragons could only communicate with their human counterpart and with other dragons when they both were in their reptilian form. I could feel her shuddering, she didn’t know how she could reach him either. She let me know that she sent him a mental image: the witch’s stones, known to humans as Stonehenge. It was one of our favourite places to play when I was young. I used to run around it, playing hide-and-seek with my sister, Mallory. Ember took her first flight there, or at least tried to since she ended up crashing her snout against one of the stones and falling on the ground, making Mallory fall on her back after laughing convulsively. My eyes watered at the sweet memories, those stones were near our home, before everything was destroyed and the Red Dragons captured us. When
HenryI headed to the border of the pack and took a plane to England without looking back. Father was wrong; I wouldn’t come back begging, I was an Alpha and I wouldn’t ever go down to my knees. If I was to go back to my pack, it would be to claim my birthright as their Alpha, with my fated Luna by my side. Knight barked in agreement in my mind.When I arrived in London, I knew things wouldn’t be easy and it would be hard to find her as unfortunately mate-bonds didn’t work like GPSs. “If only I knew her scent, I could track her to the end of the world,” Knight chimed in. “You are over-confident even for an Alpha! You are a good tracker, but your nose can’t cross oceans,” I replied, if I was to give too much credit to this wolf, he would become unbearable. How could I find her? I wondered looking at the grey skies of London. “Maybe we need some help from magic, get one witch or two,” my wolf suggested. “Good idea, Knight!”“I know; I am the brain, the claws and the muscles betwee
Mallory The very next day, I went to see my sister. I could run away from anyone and anything, my pain and fear—which were always coming back for me—but I couldn’t run away from Kemy. I had to bring her back, and save my little sister this time. Alessia roared with determination within my soul and I knew that we would put our own pain, our scarred heart aside to take care of Kemy, to give her our love and wake her up. “You will be back, Little Sister,” I muttered under my breath. I entered the room and took a seat by her bed, taking her hand in mine and squeezing it gently. My gaze roamed around Kemy’s pale but serene face. It seemed like she was indeed dreaming rather than having nightmares. I sighed in relief as she didn’t seem to be suffering. But she was dreaming for way too long, it was time to live, to come back to me and to this new family who welcomed us with open arms. Somehow, Daniel’s brief words had a much stronger effect on me that I could ever imagine, he restored
Henry “Niki, baby, get inside and ask Marion to teleport you all away. There is an insane mutt here!”He told the little witch as she looked between us, startled, pale, wide-eyed, I could hear her ragged breath. “You know that we won’t ever leave you, hot pants!” she replied after gulping hard. “He’s just one dog, I can put him down with ease.”While he was distracted talking to her, I ran through the door full-speed passing by the witch and making her lose balance and almost fall. My mate was all that mattered, and I knew she was in that room.When I entered the bedroom, my gaze fell immediately on her sleeping form. I didn’t need to look at her eyes to know she was mine; I was drawn to her, attracted by a magnetic, overwhelming force.“Mine!” Knight and I claimed in unison, our voice deep, guttural, coming from a primal place within my soul. I passed by a startled blond she-dragon and scooped my mate in my arms, sniffing her beautiful locks of light brown hair and breathing her
HenryI stood up and cleaned the sand off from my clothes after the f*cking reptiles shoved me onto the sand and teleported away, like cowards. It will have a payback! “If they hadn't used that toxic smoke, I would have shifted and shown them to their place!” Knight growled in rage, he was about to take control and shift in the middle of the beach, surrounded by humans when I pulled the lash of control and stopped him. “I have to go back there! Sniff her again, groom her,” he barked. He wanted to tend to his mate, as I did. It was only natural. “She was sleeping, Henry. Hell was breaking loose and she didn’t wake up, she didn’t even make a sound, she was like a still and beautiful statue. There is something wrong with her, maybe she is sick and that’s why her wolf… her reptile reached to me. We have to help her, now! I am sure that she will wake up, if I shift and groom her, I will lick her face, nuzzle her neck until she feels better again!” I exhaled sharply and rubbed my hands
HenryJust after I laid my head on the pillow of my rented hotel room in Marbella, I was pretty much sucked into a dream. I was in the meadow once again, walking in Knight’s form, but this time to my surprise it wasn’t empty, I could see something on the grass away from us. Neither Knight nor I could distinguish what it was, but we felt attracted to it. “I hope it isn’t a squirrel!” I told Knight, I knew he would feel drawn to them, but not to such an extent. It was calling for him and for me too, deeply, almost achingly. Knight ran in the direction of it and squinted his eyes, and soon we were able to distinguish the outline of the brown head on the grass. That was when her smell assaulted my scents. Amber and Lavender. The smell I loved and dreaded the most, my mate’s scent. Knight ran towards her and I knew that nothing could stop him, his paws were carrying him on their own accord. We both felt the urgent need to be close to her. She sat up and looked in our direction, her b
AlmaI took a deep breath just as Marion did, and I entered the room. I took a seat by Egan’s side and he squeezed my hand in reassurance. “We will protect Kemy, Little Ruby. You have nothing to worry about and you shouldn’t stress yourself out,” he said looking between my face and my double-baby bump, His voice was serene and full of certainty. He cleared his throat, attracting everyone’s attention. “We have to investigate that werewolf, find out from which pack he comes from and what are his intentions. He is her mate, he surely will come back for her. I fear he only wants to use her and will end up hurting her even further, which could be fatal due to her vulnerable state. But we won’t let it happen,” Egan’s voice was laced with protectiveness and determination. He would do anything to protect our clan, as he always did. “If he even dares to think about touching a single strand of her hair, I will…” Daniel’s voice was almost feral, he was in full-protecting-my-mate’s-baby-siste
HenryI woke up with a start and sat up immediately, gasping for air. “We have to get back there, get back to her,” I told my wolf. “For you to reject her?” Knight barked in my mind, he was very riled up and seemed like he wanted to pounce at me, if only that was possible. He didn’t want to do it, not now that we saw her, touched her, kissed her. I clenched my eyes shut, she made it very hard for me to reject her; her lips were so soft and she tasted so good. I rubbed the back of my neck and started pacing back and forth around the large bedroom, like a restless animal, a caged wolf. “Knight, I don’t know what to do!” It was hard for me to hesitate so much, it was something that went against my nature. Alphas didn’t hesitate, they either attacked, waited for the prey or retracted, although we mostly attacked. I continued with my pacing, hoping to get somewhere. My body, my soul, all of me was completely drawn to that woman, to that dragon-woman. “F*ck, Knight! I can’t do it and

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. Henry
DanielI stayed with Mallory for a couple of hours, and when I had to go interrogate the Red Dragon I hesitantly left her with Kemy and Marion. 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
MalloryA memory flashed before my panicked eyes as I stood still in front of the closed door.“It didn’t work this time, Lord Darion,” one of the Doctors said with an exhale.“We will try again in a few weeks. 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
