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
Henry“What are you doing?” Kemy asked me, her green eyes wide open and her hands on my chest as she tried to regain her balance. “I am dreaming, dreaming with you,” I brushed a lock of chocolate-colored hair off her face and flashed her my best smile, which had never failed me before. My hand roamed from her ribs to her waist and I brought her close gently. Knight released a howl of victory in my head, he was hyper to have her that close, in my arms. I was more than happy too. How could I have ever considered rejecting her? She might be a dragon, but she was mine and she would always remain that way. “Slow down, dude!” she exclaimed, sitting up abruptly and narrowing her eyes at me. A grin formed on my lips; she was indeed full of surprises, I never thought that my blushing mate could be so assertive.“She has to have an alpha attitude to be our match, Henry. And it’s so sexy!” Knight added. He was right, she was f*cking sexy. “Let’s enjoy it, it’s just a dream even though it fee
KemyMy hope was doomed. My sister wasn’t around and I probably was the only Golden Dragon alive, I didn’t have a home to return to. Tears of mourning and desperation burned in my eyes. I hurt for my past, the past of my kind and for my future. A soft sigh left me, Ember’s attempt to contact the red-head lady was in vain. I tried to calm down and stop crying, I had to be strong for Ember and for myself. For so long it had been only the two of us, and I knew we could do it; we could be enough. Ember whined, and I knew well what she meant: we could be the last Golden Dragon and had lost our family and our people, but we have him, Henry. And of course, Knight too, our knight in the shining fur. Maybe he couldn’t save me, or maybe he is already saving me for all I wanted was to stay in his arms.I sighed and snuggled further into his embrace, being close to him gives me some peace and some comfort in the middle of my pain and dread. It made me not want to give up reality and sink dee
Mallory“A piece of her—more precisely, of her dragon—was cut out. That’s why she can’t wake up, her dragon’s soul was mutilated. She is very weak and doesn’t have the strength to wake up,” Jen explained. I covered my face with both hands, wiping my tears and trying to settle my breath. We didn’t have time for me to have a panic attack now, we had to help my Little Sister. “I talked to Ember, her dragon, and I could see she is growing weaker by the day. If she dies, Kemy goes with her. They are closely connected, their souls are intertwined. Healing Ember as soon as possible is the only way we can bring them both back from this long sleep.” “Ember will need the piece of her soul back, or at least part of it. Otherwise, she won’t be able to wake up,” Jen sighed deeply. Her words were making my heart race in the somber rhythm of dread and desperation. It was all a huge nightmare. Alma placed her hand on her chin and looked at Kemy for a moment, “We need to find a way to make her

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
