Hearing Jenifer’s voice saved me from my rampage. “W-what did you say?” I asked still in shock “Your eyes were glowing,” she said “almost like a dark violet She finished speaking in a low focusing on her and noticed her eyes were big as saucers, She studied me up and done, and before I could ask her any more questions, a teacher pulled me by my arm. “Ms. Preston, you need to go to the office. We don’t condone fighting. “I’m in trouble, but I didn’t care or feel bad about it. She got what was coming to her. We walked down the hall to the front office. Following Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Parker was sitting at her desk. She shot me a proud look and mouthed “Sorry” as Mrs. Crawford pushed me into the principal office. “Do you understand? Sit down and don’t move. “She threatened. Mrs. Crawford thought Mariah couldn’t do anything wrong because she was one of her many admirers. Mrs. Crawford was short and stocky and always kept her hair in a bun. She never smiles. She reminded me of a statue. I
I stood in utter shock, debating whether to turn around and leave but I felt an intense pull to open the trunk I wanted to know no I needed to know what was in there, why was I feeling the pull as I lifted the lid, I noticed there were pictures and a bunch of letters and a purple wooden jewelry box.I picked up a picture of two babies being held by a man and a woman with similar features. As for me, the woman had long raven black with hints of purple Jade colored eyes with a hint of green she was beautiful the man had short black hair with blue eyes and both of them had mocha skin. A bunch of questions plagued my mind, and I wondered if this was connected to the weird things happening to me. Who was this couple? And the babies? Was one of them me? And who was the other baby? I turned the picture over, and it had only one readable name: " Isabella." The other names were smudged. I was unable to make anything out; I set the picture back down and picked up one of the letters I opened it
"Repeat to me what you saw !! " I shouted slamming the cup I was drinking out of against the wall and smashing it into little pieces I was sitting in my study "iii saw her eyes glow purple master" stuttered one of my warriors, I had sent undercover to watch the princess see if any changes were happing to her and I was correct as predicted her powers were awaking as well as her dragon at long last I had found her,"Are you sure? " I asked." You better be sure because we need to know if it is her, that she is the one. After all, you and your incompetent friend have made too many mistakes ." I growled. Glaring at them with fury radiating off me both of them cowering down in fear, " YES, sorry master I am sure I have seen it with my own eyes. "Perfect," I growled in satisfaction. " We need to keep an eye on her because she needs to have her first shift, and then her powers will begin to appear, and then I will be able to take them for myself... I have waited for so long for this opportuni
A week passed and everything was very uneventful, I and cassie and Ron decided I would just observe Zayla to see if, in fact, she was the person the council was looking for and that we would deal with as it came.Ron suggested I go out for a sport because I was going crazy just going to school. I decided on track, and I made my way to the locker room to take a shower and get dressed in our team’s uniform. Someone was watching me and I had an uneasy feeling. I scanned the hall but saw nothing.Trying to shake off the weird feeling I opened the door and made my way to my gym locker Still having the uneasiness I tried to push it down, I opened my locker put my bag inside, grabbed my uniform and a towel, and quickly headed over to the showers jumping in and out toweling myself dry.I got dressed in my uniform then went to my locker, put my clothes back, and hung up my towel and all sudden someone slammed my door shut and jumped back.“Well hello, friend how’s it going?” As I stared a glare
It’s been a week since the fight between Zayla and Mariah, and Amanda and I haven’t heard a word I was wondering if she found out about what she truly is, she wasn’t supposed to find out until her 18th birthday You are probably wondering how I know and why I wasn’t too surprised with her hair changing and the way her eyes glowed and the rage building whenever she got angry, she never was that way before considering the things Mariah put her through over the years. I’m quite surprised she has managed not to completely lose her shit.But that is where I come into my family are protectors, I am aware of the supernatural because I am one of them we are fae one of the strongest of our kind, fae, and dragons rarely got along we used to live alongside each other but fighting broke out and only some of us stayed in dragon realm and others end up starting their kingdom in a different realm, my family is all warriors but only two of us would be picked to protect the royal family and I was chosen
When I came to, I was still lying on my closet floor. I had a tremendous headache, so when I finally got my barrings, I stood up, put the medallion back in the box, put it back on the shelf, made my way over to the bed, and laid down still reeling over everything that happened I remember hearing a voice saying hi to me.I put my hand over my face. I am losing it. Maybe I need to talk to my parents about talking to someone or something because all these things that are happening are unbelievable.“Well, you must believe them,” said a gentle voice.I jolted up to a sitting position, searching around for the owner of the voice, but it was just me.“He-Hello? I asked, “Hello Zayla,” the voice said again. “Who are you?”“My name is Ariana Ari for short. I am your dragon,” she said.“What dragon? “I whispered nervously.“I’m your dragon.” My dragon? “I asked, confused.” There is a lot; I don’t know that they kept it from you for your safety, but all will become obvious soon.”I just sat in s
As we finished giving Zayla a big hug, she pulled back with a shocked look on her face, adding, “How? ““How what?” I claimed in confusion.“How are you, the guardian?” My mouth was open in surprise. How did she know? “Um, let’s go inside. We need to talk. ““Yes we do,” said Zayla visibly upset She opened the door wider letting us in, We made our way over to the living room and sat on the couch Zayla sat down opposite of me I sighed collecting my thoughts because I knew she was going to be very upset when she finds out everything she wasn’t supposed to know anything until after her birthday she was going to be eased into everything.To prepare her for everything, to find out everything that she has known as being a lie would be overwhelming for her, hoping she will understand and be open to listening and not be upset. As the silence becomes very awkward and unbearable, Zayla clears her throat and says "Explain" with frustration.“Okay, “I say “First I have to Start at the beginning fo
As we wrapped up lunch Jenifer and Amanda headed home ensuring they come by in a couple of days with Jenifer’s parents to speak about everything Jenifer also provided me with Liam’s number we also spoke about how I would plan to meet up with him to see if we could get some answers about who he was and why he had a sudden interested in me.I opened the door to let out Jenifer and Amanda, giving them a quick hug, thus closing the door behind them. I headed over to the kitchen to call Liam. I was nervous.When I called his number, it rang a few times before he answered. “Hello?” His voice was deep and husky...“Wow, he sounds sexy as hell,” Ari purred. “Yeah I know but, We need to remain alert. We don’t know him at all, and stop acting like some horny teenager,” I said. “I won’t. She moved to the back of my mind and said there was no harm in admiring. I chuckled and realized I had my work cut out for me.“Hi, Liam, it’s Zayla my friend mentioned you were inquiring about me?”I asked. “Yes,
It has been weeks since I lost track of that flying rat with wings and the wannabe fairy. They somehow managed to avoid me, and they ended up capturing Alex. He wasn't the brightest or the toughest soldier, so if they tortured him, he wouldn’t say anything—he better not if he knew what was good for him. I really don't want to eliminate him like I need to do with Liam. Actually, the council wants him brought in for questioning, but I've decided to get rid of him once and for all and blame it on those fire-breathing idiots. That way, no one will question me. My phone rang, and I looked down at it, irritated because it was Henri—the idiot the council put in charge of caring for the other rat with Wings’ sister. He had been undercover for a long time, placed in the queen’s royal council to watch their movements. When the war started, he was assigned babysitting duty. I would have eliminated him long ago if this man had not been the leader's brother. I answered the call, and he sounded
The kiss ignited a brilliant flash of light, and Alex gasped as the curse that had shackled him for so long shattered like glass. That I wasn’t even aware was there. He felt the energy coursing through him, a primal force awakening his true self. The transformation began almost immediately; The ominous cracking and splintering of his bones echoed in his ears, mingling with the harrowing screams that left his lips as his body shimmered like heat rising off the asphalt, stretching and expanding in a mesmerizing transformation. Dark blue and iridescent scales caught the sunlight, sending shimmering reflections dancing across the clearing as he morphed into his majestic dragon form. The air was thick with astonished gasps from the onlookers. "I can't believe it!" Amanda I then heard a clearing of throats. It must be Zayla's Dad as he said, “Well, I guess we need to teach him how to fly, “he said. I nodded my massive head. “How? “ Jenifer finally managed to get out. I just snorted
I shook off the eerie feeling creeping up my spine. My instincts about Liam were right; the anger helped me piece everything together. When Alex told me the truth, I suddenly realized Liam was still chained to the chair. I made my way over and unlocked his chains. As my hands moved over him, I felt a tingling sensation coursing through me. He gasped slightly and turned towards me, his brown eyes looking at me with so much adoration.“Thank you,” he said.“You're welcome,” I replied, starting to back away a little, needing space because of the incredible heat building between us. “We need to make our way upstairs,” I called out, referring to the meeting with my parents, Bella’s, and Zayla’s parents. However, without Liam to help us figure things out, I thought this was the best course of action. I wouldn’t let Zayla and Bella know just yet. Alex agreed reluctantly, and I grabbed his hand as we headed upstairs, tingles shooting straight up our arms. Alex sighed contentedly, which broug
We were all gathered in the dimly lit dining room, a sense of tension hanging in the air as Bella called the meeting to order. Her gaze was serious as she shared the burden of what she had overheard from her mother—the startling news that her mom had been apprehended and was now confined to the basement where Alex was held, waiting for us to decide her fate. Jen spoke up, breaking the heavy silence. “Dad, Layla, I truly feel for what you’re going through, but you must confront the situation with your mate before we face court again. We’ve done everything we can to question him, but he insists that he only speak with you.” I groaned in frustration, burying my head in my hands. A familiar warmth enveloped me as my mom stepped forward to embrace me, her comforting presence a small refuge amidst the chaos. When I glanced at Tim, his eyes met mine, filled with a pained expression that tore at my heart. I knew this was hard for him, but I reminded myself that our safety depended on mak
"Henri, get in here now!" I shouted as I slammed the grimoire I had been looking at shut. Frustrated at the incompetence of my men, I watched as two of them brought in Henry and threw him to the floor. "Get up!" I commanded as he scrambled to his feet, glancing nervously at me. "Remember who you work for," I growled, making him look down. "Where is the girl?" "They're together," he mumbled. "What do you mean they're together? You were supposed to bring me the one you had, not let them be together! You know what happens when they are together!" I yelled. "The two idiots you sent after Zalya screwed up and forced her first shift change. We had to bring them together so they didn't die!" "Are you serious?" I screamed, slamming my hand on the desk and cracking it in two. Henry fell back in fear. "Never mind. We can still get one of them before they reach full power. Get out of my sight and bring me the girl!" I shouted, turning my back to him. "Get out now!" I seethed, making it cl
As the morning sun peeked through the tattered curtains of the cabin window, I covered my head with the duvet and groaned. Zayla cleared her throat. "Bella, it's time to wake up." She giggled as I huffed and rolled onto my back. "I love you, Zayla, but I will not be happy if you don't let me sleep." She giggled some more. "That's not an option. Her parents won't let us.""I brought you some coffee," she said. I suddenly sat straight up in a singsong voice to take the steaming cup from her hands. Taking a big whiff of the delicious heaven in a cup, I took a drink, moaning as the hot liquid hit the back of my throat. "This is good! How did you know how I liked it?" I asked her.She giggled again. "We are twins, remember? I just guessed because this is how I like it." She laughed, "Be sorry to make you get dressed. We have training this morning. Ari and Katie are here."My dragon perked up at the mention of her name, and I felt the excitement of her being able to shift again. I must admi
It was great to find my other half and connect with yours. Looking at Bella was like looking in a mirror; she resembled me except for her hair, which was black with a bluish tint, and her eyes, which sparkled with a blue hue in her irises like shiny gems. We were having a wonderful time getting to know each other and discovering our likes and dislikes; it seemed we had much in common. Suddenly, a sad thought crossed my mind: we could have had this connection without being separated for so long.Bella stood up and came over, sensing my sadness through our strong twin bond. Now that we had finally met and shifted, she hugged me and whispered in a low voice that only I could hear, "I know how you're feeling because I feel the same way. But at least we have each other now, and we will never be separated again." Pulling away, she added with a grin, "Plus, we are now badass dragon princesses!"As everyone began to leave, a voice cleared and said, "Okay, everyone, we need to head to bed. It'
My parents and I were chanting a spell to help protect Zayla and Bella as they began to shift. Their screams echoed in the night air, and the sound of cracking bones sent a shiver down my spine. My heart ached for my best friend; seeing and hearing her pain made me incredibly sad. I wished I could take away all her suffering. As our chanting slowed, I looked over at Zayla and Bella. They lay panting, holding each other's hands as their face started forming now and horns towards the back of her head, and then her amazing black wings unfolded from her size as she made it onto all four legs; she stretched out her wings and let out a massive roar that shook the ground falling behind with her sister Bella was just as massive as a dragon should be. Her scales were solid black but glistened with a blue hue in the moonlight, resembling a beautiful jewel. Both she and Zayla had eyes that shone bright blue and purple. My dad cleared his throat, catching my attention. “In my bags, there are
As Zayla’s mom descended closer to the ground, she opened her wings and seized another demon with her long, sharp black talons. With a swift movement, she tore his head from his body and set his remains ablaze. After pulsing his body away, she went after more enemies, causing much-needed destruction. We advanced on the remaining demons, and as one charged directly at me, I sliced through it, watching it fall to the ground lifeless. I then focused on the dark witch ahead. As I got closer, Jen followed closely behind, taking down two more demons. "I'm going to try to use a standard immobilizing spell, so whatever you're going to do, do it now," she growled. I nodded in response and signaled Zayla's dad just as Jen started chanting. He swept down towards Bella while I approached the dark witch. "You will pay for this!" she shrieked, but she found herself immobilized. I raised my sword and plunged it into her chest. She screamed, and suddenly, she vanished in a cloud of black smoke.
