view moreI sit at the foot of the bed, watching the storm. The bedroom lights are dim, and I can see the waves crashing onto the shore as the lightning flashes.My back faces the door to the hall as I stare out the window. “You’re not supposed to wear clothes in bed,” Taran says, causing me to jump. I didn’t mean to startle you,” he adds while walking toward me. He removes his clothes before sitting opposite me. Taran hands me a package wrapped in paper: “I brought you a present.”“Thank you,” I reply.I unwrap the package to find a magic book as Taran explains, “I know you didn’t get to practice a lot of magic in the last couple of years. If you are interested, I can help you.”“I didn’t know dragons could use magic,” I reply while flipping through the book.“You will surpass me in a few months, but I can use magic. Most dragons have a natural magic, and the royal dragons can use spells.” Taran shrugs, “We can make charms and potions too, but I’m not very good.”“I would appreciate any help y
A loud crash of thunder jolts me from my sleep. The lightening brightens the room momentarily, and I find myself alone. A dim light seeps in from under the door. As I sit up, the room begins to brighten. I open the chest where Taran got the dress out and find that it is full of sundresses. I pick one and go out into the hall.Taran stands in the kitchen, cooking. He is dressed in a cotton shirt and board shorts. “Hello,” I say awkwardly.Turning towards me, Taran shows no emotion on his face. “Hello, dove. How did you sleep?”“I slept great until the thunder. What about you?”Taran is back, facing the food. “I didn’t sleep, there is much for me to do.”“What are you making? Can I help?” I offer.“It’s almost ready. Why don’t you set the table?”I nod and start looking for plates and utensils. “What do you want to drink?” I asked.“Just water,” he replies.I find glasses and fill them. Taran brings the food to the table, and we sit down to eat. “It smells nice,” I say with a smile.Tar
His tongue gently touches my lip, asking for entrance. Without much hesitation, I allow my tongue to meet his. The kiss becomes deeper as our tongues begin to dance. Taran’s hand moves up my hip to my waist, and finally my breast. His thumb strums my nipple through the thin fabric of my dress.Pulling back a little, Taran helps me sit up as he pulls the straps of my dress down and exposes my breast. He gently puts his hand on my chest and encourages me to lie back. I feel Taran slowly pulling up my skirt. Without thinking, I spread my legs for him. There is a hint of amusement in his voice, “You glisten.” Taran looks into my eyes. “It’s very beautiful.”We go back to kissing. Taran nips at my lips, causing me to let out a moan. I feel Taran smile against my skin, “Are we going to continue pretending you don’t want me to touch you, little dove?”I nip at his lips and chin. “I don’t know what you me
I follow Taran into the bedroom. He closes and locks the balcony doors. “Why are you locking the doors?” I questioned.“The wind from the storm will open them if they aren’t bolted. Plus, if the door is open, the sirens take it as an invitation they can join us, and I’m not open to sharing you.” Taran turns to look at me. “Why haven’t you removed your dress yet?”Slightly joking, I reply, “I thought we could do some hair pulling and light kissing. You know…to get into the mood.”“I’m already naked,” Taran states.I nod. I feel so nervous. I haven’t enjoyed sex since I woke up in the pack hospital. Though there are the dreams of Taran, real-life interactions can be much different. I faked it most of the time with Bryan, especially when he tried to dominate me. Something about him being in control felt off-putting.Taran sits on the side of the bed and motions for me to come to him. Once I’m close enough, he pulls me onto his lap so I’m straddling him. I realize how big and strong Taran
I slowly opened the envelope. There seem to be more pictures of my father, nephews, and brothers. Looking at Taran, I say, “They all seem happy.” There are none of Cindy, but a few with Pat. I guess I did kill Cindy.“They are. Every need they have is met. I have them hidden away on an island not far from here. It is very similar to this one. Your family is safe from all creatures.”“Is my family in danger?” I questioned.Taran shrugs, “They were. Many want to get to you. Some want to kill you, others need you for magic.”“What about you? What do you want with me?” I asked.Taran smirks. “I am the dragon king. You are my destined mate. The only one that can bear me an heir.”“You want to have a baby with me?” I questioned.Taran nods. “I need an heir. You are the only one capable of producing another red dragon.” Taran pauses slightly, then says, “You are welcome to refuse, but my protection of your family and you ends.”“Bryan and his pack will protect me and my family,” I state.Tar
My eyes slowly open to find myself on silken sheets in a four-poster bed. A breeze flows into the room, swaying the curtains with the sound of waves crashing on the shore. Double doors to my right are open, leading to a large balcony. There is little furniture in the room other than the bed. On the top of the headboard, there is a carving of two doves and some vines.Sitting up in bed, I realize I’m naked. I use the sheet to cover myself. Looking around, I desperately tried to find my clothes.A noise catches my attention. I look towards the window and see the silhouette of the dragon flying. My heart pounds as I crawl under the bed.I can see the feet of a man as he lands on the balcony. The bed skirt makes me feel slightly hidden, but it also keeps the man’s face hidden from me. He walks into the room and pauses. I heard him walk towards a trunk and open it. Once he closes it, he exits the room. His movements don’t sound rushed or as if he is worried about finding me.I wait and lis
TaranWe arrive in Scotland after sunrise. Tru has trouble standing. I took the opportunity to look into her mind. It isn’t long before Tru collapses onto the ground. I wanted to check that Orson and Jonat would not find anything.Other dragons begin to arrive. Orson asks, “Your majesty, who is this woman?”“This is the sorceress that brought magic back into the world. The stone, the dragons, nothing would exist without her.” I reply.“Why did you bring her here?” someone asked.I take a deep breath, “The story of dragon mates is true. Not every dragon will have a mate, but those that do will dream about them. Since I awakened, I’ve dreamed about her. When her power fully awakened, the stone called to me. After retrieving the stone, she disappeared. I believe a wolf pack tried to hide her. They feared what would happen to her if a dragon found her.”“King Taran, I believe I should look into her mind, just to know if she is a threat,” Jonat states.“I believe you and Orson both should
TaranBrehm is putting the final touches on the home built for Tru and me to live in. There are still six council members, Jonat, and Henry, for me to kill. They are starting to turn on each other, which is fun for me to watch. Every day that passes, they become more paranoid.Tru seems to be feeling more and more uneasy each day. I am worried about her. I fear that she will try to leave Bryan’s territory. If that happens, I can only hope I get to Tru before the other dragons.In a few days, she will marry Bryan, or that is what the invitation said. Each day it grows closer, Tru becomes anxious. I don’t believe she wants to marry Bryan. It was my hope that things would be ready for her before their wedding, but that is unlikely.In the middle of working on the bench, I get an ache in my chest. Tru must be hurt. I need to find out what is happening to her. I don’t bother saying bye to Brehm or anyone as I fly towards the cave in Scotland. Upon arrival, I shift and head to the temple.O
I slowly open my eyes. There is one high window. The sun is shining. My body is stiff and won’tmove. I try to focus my eyes, but everything is blurry. I can tell that I’m tied to a chair.A figure walks to me, “Tru, just relax. I won’t hurt you.” It’s Bryan. What has he done to me? Why can’t I move? As if he can hear my thoughts, Bryan explains, “Tru, I was worried about you. You caused an earthquake. I didn’t see another option, so I gave you something to paralyze you. You can blink. Once you promise not to hurt anyone and calm down, I will turn off the IV. The medicine should wear off quickly and we can go home. Then, we are setting new ground rules. One is that I will not cheat again if you continue how you’ve acted in the last three months. If you can give me and the pack that level of commitment, then I will never cheat again. The second is that I will cause an accident for Sarah. I’d rather do it after the baby because I need an heir, but I’m willing to do whatever it takes for
In the late 15th century, a human stole the Dragon Stone from my people. For thousands of years, we lived alongside humans. We protected them from the dangers of this world: vampires, demons, werewolves, and other blood-thirsty creatures that would take too long to name.What did they do to thank us for our protection?They stole the source of our power and turned on us.Without the dragon stone, we lost the ability to transform, the ability to wield magic, and our ability to reproduce. The stone was a gift to the first dragon. The story is so old that it is unclear what the sorcerer's name was, but he cursed his former lover after she had an affair. He transformed her into a dragon. It said that she was so heartbroken that she jumped into the water, hoping to drown, but instead found peace in the water.Years later, she surfaced, desperate for human interaction, but found everyone feared her. After trying to kill herself, the sorcerer gifted her with a s...
