2021-08-12 04:07:11Catori took a shower, thinking that it would be her fault if her parents should ever split up. She thought she was the cause for their argument, since she never listened to her mother.
But what she didn't know was that Lucian was planning to leave Farrah. With every nagging word, it pushed him to want to leave more and more each day.
He had already fallen out of love with his wife, only to stay because of their children.
After Catori got done, got dressed in a silky red nightgown and laid down to read more of the book.
But the place spun, and it also became hard for her to breathe.
A small cry escaped her lips, not from pain but from something else she can't explain.
Catori opened her window to get some fresh air, only to notice orange and purple lights dancing in the sky, which held her attention.
She stared at them for a while, feeling drawn to them. It was as if they were calling to her, and so she followed them by climbing

Catori looked over to the enormous canopy bed, wondering if she made the right choice by agreeing to stay the night. Rydstorm took her chin with his index finger and forced her to look at him. "We don't have to fu*k on the first night." He said. Catori fought back a laugh. “Why do you have to say it so, so raw?" "I'm just being truthful." "Well, I'm a virgin. So we might not ‘fu*k’ at all." Catori said. Rydstorm gave her a look, "we will see about that. I need a shower. Care to join me?" Catori's eyes widen, "n-no." "Hmm, your lost. But the offer still stands if you change your mind. When Rydstorm closed the bathroom door behind him, that was when Catori sat on the bed, feeling on edge. She was in a total stranger's hotel room, in a sexy nightgown. This is what her mother warned her of, but yet here she was. After sitting there for a while and swinging her feet, she crawled to

When Catori woke, she was tangled up in the sheets and with half of her body on Rydstorm.She gasped, then sat up in bed, causing Rydstorm to wake as well."What is it?" Rydstorm asked, his voice low and sexy with sleep.Catori bit her lower lip, "nothing. I should go home." She said, after looking out the window.Before Rydstorm could gather himself, Catori rushed from the small hotel.The freezing morning air bit into the flesh of her cheeks as she hurried home.The few people that were already up and going about their day stopped to stare at her, whispering as she ran by."Catori!?" Leona called.Catori turned her head slightly to look at the pale skin girl with dark curly hair."Where are you coming from?" Leona asked, her brown eyes burning with mischief.Catori didn't answer, but she didn't have to. Leona already had an idea. She only wanted confirmation.Leona's small oval-shaped face turned sour as she scrunched up her broad freckled nose."You are such a whore! That man has o

Catori struggled with her trunk as she dragged it across town, despite the cold air biting into her cheeks. She still went on until she ran into Calian and Meztli.At first they only stared at her, while she ignored them to sit on the brown and brass trunk to catch her breath."What are you doing?’’ Meztli finally asked."Looks to me as if she finally lost it." Calian mocked.Catori gave an enormous smile, "don't worry, you and this village will get what is coming to it."She pulled the trunk behind her again, leaving the two stunned males behind.As Catori went on, people from the village gave her strange looks.She could see Sister Rose, in particular, who was shaking her head.When Catori finally got to the Grande Desolation, she pushed the door open, just in time to hear Rydstorm saying."I'm going to look for that girl."Then he paused, his mouth was slightly open as he was surprised.She let out a breath, dropping her trunk, causing it to make a loud thud sound on the stone floo

Rydstorm sat on the bed with a great sigh.''Are you alright? It seems as if the world is on your shoulder,'' Catori said, moving to his beside Rydstorm.''Just the burdens of being King. My people are now at a clash because some want to leave this disgusting waste land, while others want revenge.''"You could easily give them what they want, we could go and then let your people who want revenge take it.''Rydstorm gave a laugh.''You and Fang have the same idea, but it isn't so easy.''''Fang? And yes, it is.''"Aren't you worried about these people that live here, your friends and little bother and sister?''''The twins aren't real. The one friend I have, I would warn her. Apart from that, everyone and everything can burn. Besides, I think the nuns are planning something. They know about dragons, I think.''''Amica mea! That is no way to go. As much as I hate humans, I can't just go throwing my weight around. There are still innocent begins who don't know-''''Well, when I get my dra

Catori let out a contented sigh, now with a full belly and feeling as if a burden had been lifted."So, what are we going to do today?'' She asked.When Catori turned to face Rydstorm, he felt his body jerk as her feminine scent invaded his senses. He didn't understand why it was so strong suddenly.''You are so close, I can almost taste you,'' Rydstorm told her.He imagined her in his arms, making love to her until she cried from pleasure."So stare at each other then.'' She nod.Unexpectedly, Rydstorm's lips covered hers.He growled softly when she leant closer to him. At the same time, Catori could feel her body coming alive with an unfamiliar sensation.Catori tried to pull away, but Rydstorm grabbed a fist full of her hair to hold her in place, making her clutch onto his upper arms.His tongue drifted out, licking her lips, but with her inexperience, she didn't know what to do. But she did something that surprised him and sent chills all over his body.Her soft hands held onto th

The soft snow falling made everything seem even more surreal.Catori couldn't believe that she had finally left Desolation, and that this was where she'll be living from now on."I already love it here already." Catori smiled."I can imagine. This is a place our kind needs to be. Open, fresh and with those that are of our own."''What is it like living in a house full of dragons?""Palace." Rydstorm corrected. "But it can be chaotic, a lot of snapping, growling and going for each other's neck. But we can’t kill our own.""Your people try to fight you?" Catori's eyes widen in shock."No, they are more sensible than that.''"So, there is no danger to worry about, then?""Mostly not. We haven't had an attack in centuries." Rydstorm told her truthfully."Apart from your sister, who else do you live with?""Four sisters and one brother. I'm the eldest. You will know us different because our blue hair and height sets us apart from everyone else.""Do they live here?"Normally Rydstorm would

"Rydstorm, sir. Your sister Winona is requesting your presence." The man that seemed to materialise out of nowhere said."Why?"His eyes drifted to Catori, and it was clear he didn't want her to hear."Galveston?""The same problem from a month ago, the unusual spotting close to the peak." He finally said.Rydstorm's jaw ticked."Very well." He told the man.With a sigh he addressed Catori, "you are free to explore. I know you like the air garden.""What is happening?" The ever curious girl asked."Nothing for you to worry about. I'll be back to you before you know it."He ran a finger down her cheek before leaving.Catori watched as they leave, the man in the silver breast piece glanced back at her and she swore his face changed and so did his eyes.After watching until they disappeared around a corner, Catori stood where she was for a while, wondering where she could go.She walked around aimlessly until she was at the bathhouse.This time it was empty, and she used that as an oppor

The next morning, while Rydstorm and Catori were having a private breakfast.Catori brought up the issue with Fang and Nita."Did you know that Fang treats Nita like she is nothing?"Rydstorm looked up from his plate."I'm aware that he rejected her, but I didn’t know he mistreated her."Catori recalled the encounter they had.Rydstorm cut her off in the middle of her story."He didn't see you naked, did he?"''No, and that's not the point.""Catori, Fang is of a different breed of a dragon than you and I. His kind is more barbaric. They live in caves or forgotten towns. Their only purpose is to serve families like mine-"It was Catori's turn to cut him off."That still doesn't give him the right to treat Nita the way he does.""Please let me finish."She nodded."Centuries ago, his people were cursed to be savages. To be uncaring, even to their own. The only people they are loyal to are kings and queens, along with the royal's immediate families. Until that curse is broken, Fang will

"Wait, that bitch was one of them? No wonder why I hated her so much," Fang said after Alice was done explaining."Yes." Alice nodded."And you, where the hell do you get off calling my sister your mate?" Rydstorm glared at Fang.Alice moved before Fang. "Brother, let me explain. Nita was the one to cast the spell on Fang. Remember, it happened the day she arrived? They both recognised each other as mates, but he hated her and that was when the "secret" of the spell was conveniently revealed to us. At that time I was too young for him to recognise me, and vice versa, but now that she is dead, the spell is broken."Rydstorm glares at Fang, who didn't seem fazed by him one bit."But you are a man whore." Winona was the one to speak up now."Yes, that was the past. I have my mate, and I..." Fang trailed off because Alice cupped his face."You don't have to say it," she told him.Fang shook his head. "You are my mate, and just as I have been protecting you all these years, I will still pr

"Catori, your father--"She pushed Rydstorm away when he tried to comfort her. "My father is dead. Just leave me alone."Fang let out a laugh. "Trust me when I say that the old man isn't dead. It takes a lot to kill such an ancient dragon. Obviously, the youngling didn't know that."Catori was about to tell him off until she heard her father coughing, then saw that the hole in his chest was closing fast. There was a gasp from him before he sat up with a laugh."Dad?"Lucian gazed at her with almost vacant eyes. "My child, my sweet, sweet child. Sorry if I had you worried." He got to his feet and stretched. "That was a workout, I have been out of shape for so long." He groaned.Catori hugged him without saying a word."Aww, my youngling, no need to cry. I'm not going anywhere for a long time." He then turned his eyes to Rydstorm. "You did a good job, boy."At his words, Rydstorm got down on one knee and bowed his head to show his respect for Nightwing. His fellow dragons did the same.

"Amica Mea, I know you haven't been a dragon for too long and all this is new to you. But with you already here, it will be best if you transform and help us fight." Rydstorm took her hand.Catori nodded."Just stay close to me," he told her.With another roar, Akara allies began to transform. Causing more people to scream and run around, seeking a place to hide.Catori silently called upon her dragon. She felt as if she was floating and not before long; she was a twenty-foot tall dragon that had to be careful to not trample the humans that were running about.Something slammed into her, but with her body being so large, the force didn't knock her over.She turned around to see a blue dragon growling at her."I have waited a long time for this," it said in her mind."Calian." Catori growled.He rammed into her, and this time the two of them tumbled over. They rolled around on the ground, with Calian getting the upper hand. He purposefully flicked his tail so that it hit a human who wa

The two girls glanced at Leona, not wanting her around to hear anything they had to say."What?""Can you give us some privacy? Because nothing in our conversation as has anything to do with you," Catori told her.She frowned. "You little bitch, just because you went away with that mountain man, you think you are all that? But you are not. You are still that ugly girl that no man likes." Was Leona the wisest retorted."I have no time for you. All you do is try to compete with me, but it is useless.""Compete? There is no competition here, you are-""Can you just shut up and go!" Halona yelled. "Neither of us wants you around. We don't like you."Leona's mouth fell open at those words. "You both will be sorry, and just know that when those mountain men are all dead, you won't have a place to run to, Catori."Leona walked away at that, but for some reason she stopped, span around and tried to slap Catori. But she caught her hand easily with a smile."You were always jealous of me." Leon

Catori walked beside Rydstorm as he hurried from their room and through the castle."What do you think is going on?" She asked."I don't know, but whatever the reason, I'm sure a Stone is behind it.""Of course. I remember something, even though it seemed so long ago. Akara Stone had said that there were dangerous people that lived in these mountains that were preventing Desolation from growing. He wanted them out because he had said the land belongs to his ancestors and he wanted to turn it into a ski resort."Rydstorm let out a laugh because he wasn't expecting the outcome."Belong to his ancestors, huh? That man truly is something else.""No, it just goes to show how backwards those people are. They think they are high and mighty, while they say things like this to dumb down the population. Like that woman who pretended to be my mother all this time. It is like a disease and now I see why most of them didn't like me, it was because I refused to placed on a certain level. I would al

Catori looked didn't know if anything had happened, because she didn't feel any different. So when she opened her eyes, she was shocked to see that Rydstorm and the others were so small all of a sudden. She also noticed that she was seeing them through somewhat of a red haze.''Am I a dragon?'' She asked, but her words came out in a roar, which accidentally shot fire from her mouth.''Wow,'' she heard Alice's voice saying, sounding loud as if she was right at her ear.Catroi glanced at one of the reflective walls to see that her body was large with red scales with clawed feet, and huge purple and green wings growing from her back.''Good, now that you have done that. Let's see if you can transform back into your human form,'' Rydstorm said up to her.''Now how do I do that?'' She questioned herself.''Just picture yourself as human again,'' her dragon counterpart told her.When Catori did as she was told, she felt another rush of wind. Watching as things went back to normal.''That wa

Not long after, Fang informed Rydstorm that they had evaded the threat.''Catori, can you please stay here?'' "No.'' She shook her head. "I want to come with you. I want to be a part of the meetings.''''I don't want you to get hurt,'' Rydstorm told her.''I won't be. You are there to protect me. So are Fang and everyone else.''With a heavy heart, he nod then lead his bride to the war room where many were gathered in anticipation. They all raised to their feet and bow, then waited for Rydstorm to take his seat before they sat again.Catori stood to his left with her hand behind her back, feeling awkward and looking all over the room.After realising that his mate didn't have a seat, he got up and offered his to her.''Please, have my seat.''Catori smiled at Rydstorm but shook her head, ''I'll be alright, you are their king.''''And you are their queen. Besides, what kind of king or man would I be to have my mate standing?''When she was about to counter again, Rydstorm lift her up

Fang looked taken aback when he entered the room shortly after"What's going on here?" Rydstorm asked.Catori pushed the tied up nymph who fell to the floor."I was interrogating her. I have suspicions that she might be working with Lilith."Fang fell upon Raven instantly, grabbing her by the neck.He snapped his teeth in her face. " You dare to bring harm to my king and queen.''The nymph struggled in his grasp.Rydstorm turn to his mate. "What raised your suspicion?''"I don't know. I just had a feeling one of them might know. When I spoke with the group, she was the only one to act suspicious.''Rydstorm pulled Catori closer to him.''Please don't do anything like that again. You could have been hurt.''''But I'm not, and I was right.'' She tried to pull away from him. Rydstorm sighed. "Leave her to Fang. He will get the information we need out of her.''Catori frowned up at him, knowing he was hiding something, but his face gave nothing away.Before she could say anything, Raven

Catori stir in her sleep from loud shouts and a booming sound. She shifted to her side, then the shouts came again.They caused Rydstorm to jump to his feet and rushed out of the room, which in turn woke her up.Not long after, Rydstorm came back from wherever he was, then pulled Catori to her feet."I need to get you somewhere safe." His voice held urgency, as he stop pulling her to lift her into his arms."What's happening?"But he didn't have to answer. The surrounding chaos was enough, they were under attack."Is it Lilith?" She now asked."No, wyverns. They followed a soldier here when he came back from returning with his mate.""What?" Catori’s eyes widen.Rydstorm didn't answer, as his only priority now was to get her to safety."Alice, take her to the safe room." Rydstorm said, putting her on her feet."But-"Rydstorm cut her off with a kiss."Amica mea, please. I want you to be safe. It would kill me if anything was to happen to you."Alice's eyes widen as she saw a gust of w
