Dray Three days ago, we met with Jyquardini on the borders of our land. Drake had a feeling that Ty would be pissed when she found out and that we didn’t take her with us. He was right. She was pissed, and she had not talked to us since. She also has been sleeping in a room on the second floor. Neither of us has slept well since then. The two of us are sitting in the kitchen when her sweet scent filters in. I watch as she walks in, hugs mon, and kisses dad on the cheek. She walks right back out, and I hear the front door close. I am sure she is with Reyna, Elayni, Laryssa, and our sister. The five of them have become very close, and I am glad. They are in the process of rebuilding our school, but I doubt they will have it built on time for us to graduate. We are finishing the remainder of this year online. “Have you two tried talking to her?” Mom asked. “Yes, but she refuses to talk to us,” I answer. I see dad smirk, and I really want to ask what the smirk is for.
Travian I had to laugh at the three of them. Ty was pissed that we didn’t include her when we went to meet Jyquardini a week ago. It looks like twins are still on her shit list. I know they are sharing the same room again, but she is still giving them the silent treatment. I can tell they are done with this. Everyone has come up to the castle for this meeting. We have a few more attendees than normal. Elayni’s parents are still here. Her uncle Alpha Atlantico arrived yesterday for this meeting. He was very happy that she was found and that she had found her mate. I think he intimidated all the boys. I can’t blame them for being intimidated by him. The guy is massive since he must be close to 7’ tall and equally wide. The rest of us men are tall, but he makes us look small compared to his size. It was hilarious to see Ty stand next to him. She looks like a small child next to him. Killian, as usual, made a smart-ass comment about her being so short. I am pretty sure th
Ty It’s been a week since our meeting at the castle. The twins and I talked later that night. While I understood why they didn’t want me to come with them, I told them that they still could have told me what was happening. I am pretty sure they understood where I was coming from. They have promised to tell me everything from now on. Hashmeed has almost fully recovered. He is looking so much better. We have talked a lot over the last week or so. He told me that Ahmeed had found his mate not too long after mom, dad and I left. I did ask him if he felt like his younger brother was truly dead, and he said no. He told me that he and Ahmeed still feel as if the family link is there, but he can’t understand why no one is able to find him. He says he did feel as if he was close when he was a prisoner of Jyquardini’s. “I swear I heard his voice while I was being held there,” Hashmeed says. “Maybe they have him in a different room,” I state. “It’s possible but it sounded as if
Drazian I sift through all the pictures that my men have given me. I have no idea who all these new people are. There has been an influx of new dragons and one other guy that had shown up and visited the clan a week ago. I still can’t place what type of supernatural he is, though. I also can’t get over how much Chelsea looks like one of the new guys. I look up when my office door is wrenched open, and in walk Solar, Freeze, and Chelsea. I smile when she plops her perky little ass down in my lap. “Any information on who all these people are?” I asked. “Yes, the three younger ones are some dragons that they rescued from some of those creatures two weeks ago. I was able to finally find out their names. The girl’s name is Elayni and the two guys are Corvin and Ladau. The other guy that they rescued at the same time his name is Hashmeed.” Freeze answers. That name sounds very familiar, but I can’t remember why. I look at the pictures again, and I admit that the girl is very
Killian It has been eerily quiet for the last two weeks. After our meeting with Jyquardini, things appeared to go back to normal. Zarlon and Laryssa celebrated their birthday a week ago. I was surprised when Corvin turned out to be mated to Laryssa, but apparently, Ty was not. I guess she had noticed him acting differently around her. Alpha Quade was happy with the pairing, so I guess it all worked out. We are waiting for Aunt Elysia’s cousin to show up. She is relocating to our clan. I guess she lost her mate a year or two ago and wants a change. I am guessing her old clan holds too many memories, and she wants a fresh start. All Aunt Elysia told us was that she grew up here, met her mate, and moved to his clan. “When is she supposed to be here?” I asked. “Not until tomorrow. Cousin Rashinda was due to show up this afternoon but I guess a storm is going through where her clan is located and she probably won’t be able to leave until tomorrow.” Dray states. “She might
Hashmeed I haven’t left the infirmary all night. I think most of us have stayed close. I know that Zarlon and Orion have not left. I look down at the face of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, but Pylan was beautiful in her own way. I love Pylan but I never felt the bond as strong as she did. While I was sad when she died, it also didn’t break me like I thought it would. I still wonder to this day if her mother, who was known to practise magic, didn’t cast some sort of spell to make the two of us believe we were mates. Rashinda is stunningly beautiful. Her dark strawberry blonde hair reaches to her mid-back, and her smooth as-silk alabaster white skin is flawless. I can’t wait for her to open her eyes so I can see what colour they are. “She will be fine Elysia.” I say. “I just wish she would wake up so we could find out what happened to them. Those two girls are way too thin and they obviously have not been taken care of in a very long time.”
Grayston It has been a week since Rashinda, Amani, and Yamarna arrived. Travian was able to find out about their old clan, but sadly our council had already been notified and had gone there. We were told that everyone, including the clan that attacked and took over, was dead. We have no idea who is responsible, but I feel that Juquardini is somehow involved. The council members that spoke with Travian, Quade, Barston, and I explained that everyone appeared to have been either drained of blood or outright killed. We were told that a few of the people were missing, but they had no leads on who took them. “Bet it was Jyquardini and his little group of creeps. They are probably looking for new blood donors for their little science project.” Drake sneers. “Last time I heard them talk, they were hoping to start breeding those creatures.” Hashmeed states. “Has anyone told Amani and Yamarna that their whole clan was wiped out?” Silas’s dad asked. “Yes, I called Quade and he ha
Dray I sit against the headboard of our bed, watching my little jewel sleep. Drake is lying beside her. Her head is resting on his chest. I run my finger through her silky hair and let out a growl. She is sleeping thanks to the pain medication that the doctor gave her. I can feel my dragon coming to the surface when I see the large bruise on her side. I know that under the bandage further down is a fairly large wound that I know will be healed by tomorrow. “How did they even make it onto our land?” Drake asks. “From what the trackers could find out they came up the river. Their scent wasn’t detected because they kept downwind the whole time. That is how they surprised the girls. I am just thankful that none of them had been taken.” I answer. Earlier today, all of the women were again in town shopping for the holiday season when they were surrounded by some creatures and some vampires. Ty being who she is, protected them, but Elayni used her magic as well. We had no i
Ty I can’t help but laugh as I watch Dray and Drake chase our kids around the backyard. Kytalina is now three years old and growing like a week. She still has my eyes, but her hair gets darker and curlier the older she gets. The twins just turned two years old a month ago. Yes, that’s right, twins. That surprised all of us. We weren’t expecting twins since we only saw one child every time I went for an ultrasound. I had to have a c-section since they refused to turn into the right position to be born naturally. I thought Dray and Drake were going to faint when the doctor pulled the second baby out of me. I knew there was something different about that pregnancy, but I couldn’t for the life of me tell you what was different. We know now what the difference is. Dray and Drake got their wish, and we now have two boys. They inherited their father's eyes. One has liquid gold, and the other has liquid silver. Their hair colour is a mix of mine and their father's. They are bot
DrakeI can’t believe we are celebrating Kytalina's first birthday. I swear we just brought her home from the hospital yesterday. She has grown so much in this last year. Silas and Elyani’s egg hatched, and it was a boy. He looks like Silas only with Elyani’s eyes. He follows my little angel around everywhere she goes. Ty and Elyani think that they are mates. Dray and I weren’t thrilled when we heard them talking about it. I don’t want to think of my little angel with any boy, but if I had to choose a boy for her, Mason would be a good one. Reyna is due in a month. Killian told Dray and me that Reyna was on birth control because they wanted to enjoy each other for a while before having kids. I understand that.“Daddy.” Lina squeals.
DrayI never thought this day would come. It has been six months since all that shit went down. I am fucking thankful it is over. I look down when the little girl in my arms starts wiggling around as she lets out a whimper. I am sure I have to sappiest smile on my face, but I don’t give a fuck. None of us realised Ty was pregnant when all that shit went down. Drake and I never noticed a change in her scent. She seemed fine, but I caught her vomiting one day. She thought that she was something that pissed off her stomach, which was a valid thought until she kept vomiting for a week. Drake and I got fed up and worried, so we drug her ass to the doctor, who confirmed that my little jewel was pregnant. Since gemstone dragons birth to live young, we knew from our first ultrasound that we were having a girl. I know Drake and I were freaked o
It has been 24 hours since everything happened. The girls were taken to the hospital to make sure they were ok. None of them had any injuries, except for Ilyan, so that we could bring them back to the house. They were all just exhausted mentally and physically. They used an immense amount of power, and it drained them. I had the boys get checked out, but they were fine—a few minor wounds have already healed, and some bruising almost faded. The girls are still asleep but wake up to use the bathroom, and that is it. Drake and Dray have hardly left their room. Their mother had to threaten them to make them leave the room to eat and shower. They didn’t want to leave Ty. I understand, but they can’t stop taking care of themselves, which their mother pointed would upset Ty when she woke up if they were to make themselves sick because they wouldn’t leave her.
I didn’t like the idea of Dray going on a perimeter check with some of the guards without me. We always did shit like that together. We had talked that morning and decided that one of us should stay with Ty. She was still very upset about Royatalia passing and the babies being handed over to her cousin. I knew that she knew they would be safe with her cousin, but she had gotten attached to the twins. Dray and I have been suspicious that Ty might be pregnant as of late. Her scent hasn’t changed, but she has been more emotional than normal, and her appetite has increased. Shifters generally eat more than humans or other supernaturals, but Ty has been eating more than we have ever seen her eat. We had been told that gemstone dragons' scent would not change when they were carrying a child, so with her getting tested, Dray and I had no way of confirming our suspicion. Dray had been gone for
I am not sure why I am agreeing to help Ty with what she, Elayni, Amani, and Reyna are planning. This has a huge potential to go wrong quickly. I have watched Ty grow up. I was worried when she was younger because she was a little on the shy side. I am not sure if it was shy or more that she didn’t trust. I think it was both. Since coming here and meeting the twins, she has grown into a strong, confident woman. Now that she has complete control of her powers, she has grown even more confident. I have never met the triplets, but I know of them. I decided to tell Drake and Dray what was going on. They were pissed at first, but once I explained why we had to do this, they were somewhat accepting of the plan. “Why does she need to be the one to kill Orchid?” Dray asks.“Because she is the only one that can suppress Orchid’s powers. Orchid won’t be able to use her magic against Ty.” Mitch explains.“Ok, I understand, but what if this Teharan grabs her and jumps realms?” Dra
It’s been a month, and Firewalker and his band of jackasses haven’t made one move. Orchid hasn’t shown her face around here again, and there have been a few changelings spotted but outside of our borders. They are watching us, but they haven’t made a move. Royatalia and the babies are doing well. She wasn’t overly happy when she woke up after her emergency c-section, and she wouldn’t talk to anyone but Haskar. Grayston and Travian explained everything, but she still refused to talk. It took Cecilia talking with her to make her realise that Jyquardini’s father had done something to make her believe what they were doing was fine. Once the spell or whatever they had placed on her wore off, she was different. She still wasn’t very trusting, but I couldn’t blame her. Her life has been a lie, and even her mate wasn’t telling her the truth. No one is sure if Jyquardini knew what his father did, but I feel he knew. He may not have known to what extent his father went, but I believe
There is something about Teharan that has been bugging me for the week. There is still nothing happening within Firewalker’s complex. We had only known about him for the last week, but when I saw him in Amani’s little memory, she tapped into I got the weird feeling that I knew him. It has been eating away at me this whole week. I drop down into my chair and lean back. I don’t know why this is bothering me so damn much.“You ok?” Dray asks.He and Drake are standing in the doorway, looking at me like I have lost my mind. Fuck, maybe I have lost it. They come in and sit down while I mentally try to figure out what I will say to them. I know they’re waiting for me to explain, but fuck, I can’t even explain this to myself.&l
I could feel everyone looking at me when I told them there was another way. They know what I can do, but I haven’t used my powers like this in a long time. I haven’t had a reason to, but now I do. Orion can feel his hand on my back, telling me everything will be alright. Yamarna is the only one that knows that I can do this. We made damn sure that our old alpha and those who attacked and took us as slaves never found what I could do. I ask Haskar if he was where he was most of the time, and he says that he was around Royatalia but was permitted to wander around the outskirts of the clan.“Amani, what is it?” Ty asks.“It will be easier if I show you.” I state.I hate using my powers like this. It drains me, and I fe
