KemyGolden Dragons: the strongest amongst all the monumental reptilians that dared to gain the skies. We had an empire, and now we only have each other. Once upon a time, we were thousands, but now there are only seven of us. Our population was wiped out in a treacherous war. The Red Dragons lured and attacked us in our sleep, killing all of our elderly and young. This was the first battle, the one that we couldn’t fight, for it happened covered by the dark veil of night and the sneaky schemes of lies. We watched our people die, and some of us — like my sister Mallory and I — lost more than our families and friends. We lost our freedom. My sister and I were set apart and taken to laboratories, becoming our enemies’ prisoners. We would have died there if the Great Golden Dragon spirit, the original golden fire that created us and reunited the souls and the songs of all Golden Dragons, hadn’t found its way back to Earth.The spirit made its home in the soul of a young witch.

KemyI was in a field of daisies, the same place I’ve ever been since I can remember, ever since my life became this endless dream. Being alone with my Dragon, Ember, waiting for many eternities whilst trying to find words in the silence of my mind, seemed to be my destiny. . Or at least that was what it felt like on the days I didn’t see him. His presence brought me some comfort, making me feel less lost inside myself, making me feel more real. I’ve dreamt for so long that I started feeling myself like a dream as well. A smile formed on my lips as my gaze found the wolf’s silhouette appearing on the far horizon. Although he was only a shadow outlined by the sunlight, every time he seemed to be a little bit closer; maybe, one day, he could reach me. Perhaps if I could touch him, touch reality, I would wake up. Of course I wasn’t only waiting, planted here like a tree. I tried to run towards him, but it didn’t help at all; it was the same as trying to reach the sun or the stars. M
Alma“I’m still learning about my powers; to listen to The Great Golden Fire and let it be one with me, be one with my soul, my consciousness, my dreams, and even my body. Now I can see that there is a thin thread of light, invisible when one has their eyes opened, connecting me to all the Golden Dragons. We can follow the light, follow the fire and see where it leads to, and find Kemy,” I explained to the rest of the Golden Dragons in our clan as soon as Egan and I came back to the clan’s mansion in Marbella. We interrupted our honeymoon after I dreamt about Kemy, after her Dragon communicated with me and let me know that she was alive but unwell. I looked at everyone’s surprised faces as it was indeed a great surprise, another miracle. Without wasting any time, Marion used her unique ability to transport us to a safe place in London, more specifically, the back of the Warlock Society building. They were our allies and quite powerful, so threats such as the Red Dragons and Meghan
Henry I exhaled sharply and looked at the starry sky and white night. An odd sensation was burbling in the back of my mind.I didn’t know why, but even late in the evening, I couldn’t stop thinking about that stirring sensation. Since we felt it, my wolf has been restless, and I have been feeling almost the same way, though it didn’t prevent me from sparing all day long. As the future Alpha, I had to be prepared for anything; our packs had many enemies among the other packs in North America and even other beings such as Warlocks and Dragons. I was trying to keep any distractions at bay and focus on myself and my future, but it wasn’t an easy task at that moment. The Gamma tried to kick my legs and make me fall, but I moved fast. My knees flexed as my feet jumped back, dodging his attack and stood firmly, one foot in front of the other, taking the fighting stance. “We have to be prepared, always,” Knight barked in my head. He was right. As my father and Alpha always said, the stron
Kemy My gaze found the wolf’s silhouette on the horizon, a majestic shadow within the golden sun. A smile formed on my lips as he took a few steps closer— would he finally come close enough? My heart skipped a beat as he kept walking. He was close enough for me to see more than a mere outline while the sun illuminated his snow-white fur; he was beautiful and huge. Maybe I could have a pet and feel less alone. I sighed happily. I heard Ember’s protest in the form of a roar. We were so close and entangled here alone in my dreams that I could understand her well, just as if she could use words and not only feelings and instinct to communicate. Besides that, our connection was so great that sometimes I could see her form in front of me and even caress her muzzle. Those were my happiest moments: that and when I saw the Wolf. She didn’t think he was a pet, not at all. I had to agree with her whilst my mouth hung open as the huge white wolf changed his form slowly, and a very naked man
Henry I fell asleep almost immediately. Only when my eyes closed, the light sank in. I looked around myself to find that I was in a meadow, walking in Knight's form. There was nothing there besides some flowers, but I could feel a presence, a call; an invisible force was drawing me here. “I often dream about this meadow,” Knight told me. “Really? I thought you only dreamed about your mate and chasing squirrels,” I taunted him.“You are the one dreaming about squirrels,” the nonsense Wolf teased me back. It was quite an odd dream. I wasn’t ever able to communicate with Knight in my dreams before. “It’s because this is my dream, and you are intruding in it. I can’t even have my own space anymore,” he barked at me even though I was in his mind. Suddenly, I felt the stir in my chest once again. It was strong, stronger and closer than the first time. The stirring sensation compelled me to shift to my form, and I couldn’t control or even help it. I stayed there in shock, looking at my
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

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
