I wake to find myself on the couch with Tru. Checking the time, it’s around four in the morning. I pick Tru up and take her to bed. The lighting crystal gets my attention. Picking them up, I ask, “What’s wrong?” To my surprise, they both flash red. Surprised, I ask, “Is Tru in danger?” They flash. “Was someone lurking around here?” The crystals flash twice.
Okay, so no one is physically around trying to hurt Tru. “Is she cursed?” The crystals flash twice again. “Are the answers in my cove?” They flash once. I nod. It’s time for me to go and figure out what’s happening.
I write Tru a note, telling her how much I love her and return tomorrow. Then I head towards the place I typically shift. The sun is just starting to rise, so I know that I must hurry. After shifting, I quickly flew towards the area of my second home, my hiding place.
My mind races with questions about

The Dragon's Stone Familiar
I wake up and notice Taran is gone. Letting out a sigh, I slowly get out of bed. At least I didn’t have any nightmares.Not knowing what else to do, I begin looking through dragon folklore. Though Taran and I have gone over things many times, I can’t help feeling like we are missing something. My searching doesn’t uncover anything new, so I look at one of the books Taran brought when flying me home.The book has spells and summarizes who, why, and when about the spells. I look at the summaries and find a name that sounds familiar. “Lyse Galno”I search the name on my computer and find nothing that matches. The name feels so familiar like I heard it in a story or something as a child. Would my mother know?I call my mother and am surprised that my dad answers the phone, “Hey princess, your mom is getting her treatment. Is everything okay?”“Yeah, everything is fine. I was trying to remember a bedtime s

TaranTru and I arrive at her parents. I do my best to seem present, but my mind is elsewhere. How do I reassure Tru that there is only her in my heart? If this girl does exist, I don’t know her or remember her. I never should’ve told Tru about what I found. I told Tru about the visions and journal because I feel there is a connection between someone knowing Lyse Galno and what I found. All the knowledge of the supernatural world is gone, yet someone knew of Lyse. The person spreading the stories of Lyse and the person behind what I found may be two different people, but I believe both will give me clues about what happened to the dragon stone.Tru and her dad go to organize something for Alice. I am sure Tru will take the time to ask her father about the stories of Lyse. I hope whatever she finds will help us find the stone and prove that the other girl doesn’t exist.“Taran?” Alice’s voice pulls me from my thou

I help my dad go through old boxes in the attic. Mostly it’s tubs of things my parents kept from when Mike, Dave, and I were children. As we go through the unlabeled boxes, my dad asks, “Tru, how does Taran treat you?”I smile as I think about Taran, “He’s very good to me, Dad.” My dad nods, but I see the hesitation on his face. “What’s wrong?”My dad sighs, “It’s just that the two of you are moving very quickly. Two months ago, you were dating Bryan, then immediately started dating Taran. Your mother and I tried to do some research on him, and we couldn’t find anything. We haired a private investigator, and they didn’t find anything on him. Nothing about his pilot's license, his title, or even his date of birth. How do you know he isn’t a criminal?”I take a deep breath, “Dad, I know you are trying to protect me, but there are things I can’t tell you. I know ev

TaranSarge’s barking brings me out of sleep. I quickly race to Tru’s room and find her curled into a ball with Sarge whining at her. He looks at me and then back to her. I quickly grab Tru, “Tru, wake up.” I try to keep my voice calm. Tru doesn’t respond. With a little more force, I shake Tru and tell her to wake up again.Tru’s eyes open, and she clings to me. Holding her close, I try to soothe her as she trembles. “You’re safe. I wouldn’t let anyone hurt you.”“When you went into my mind, did you see my dreams?” Tru asks.I pause for a moment, “I didn’t. I saw your daydreams, your desires, and your plans for the future, but I didn’t see the memories of you and the doctor or what you dreamed.”“Is that typical?” Tru asks. She is still wrapped in my arms and finally stopped shaking.“I don’t know. Since you don’t rem

Taran and I sit across from my parents. My father and Taran stare at each other strangely. “My mother made up the stories about Lyse Galno.” “Tell me about them. I find it odd that your mother remembered stories that no one else does. The name Lyse Galno doesn’t show up when you search it.” Taran says in a low voice.My father tenses, “What are you implying?”Taran relaxes a little, “Lyse Galno stories are from my country. No one remembers anything about me or my people, but your mother did. I need to know where she got the stories from so I can solve what happened to my family.”“The stories passed from generation to generation,” my father sounds annoyed.Taran looks skeptical, “So your grandmother told your mother?”My father nods, “Yes, stories about Lyse Galno the powerful, William Galno the great, and Gesina Galno the gentle. My grandmother loved the na

TaranTru drops me off with the suitcases, and I quickly put away the extra clothes. After a quick shower and a shave, I decided to do a few things to set the mood for us. Going into the kitchen, I pull the ingredient to make Tru’s favorite dinner. Since Tru said you shouldn’t cook naked, I throw on a t-shirt and pair of shorts that I can easily pull off later. Next, I start cooking by roasting potatoes first. I season them with oil, rosemary, and salt. Then I mix breadcrumbs and spices for the chicken breast. Once that is done, I coat the chicken in an egg mixture before covering it with the breadcrumbs. Finally, I put the chicken in the oven and began prepping the asparagus.After everything is in the oven, I go to Tru’s room. I have the lighting crystals glow dimly, almost like the room is lit by candles. Next, I set the table. Looking around, I try to think of something else I can do to impress Tru.The timer for the oven goes off as Tru en

I wake with a parched mouth. Taran is holding me close to him, and I debate whether getting water is worth leaving his arms. The feeling of my tongue sticking to the roof of my mouth has me slide out of bed.Since Taran and I plan to spend most of our time in bed, I get us a pitcher of water and two glasses. I take a big drink, then refill my cup before walking back into my room. After placing the water down on the night tables, I cuddle back in bed with Taran.I feel a rush through my body as my skin comes into contact with his. Taran must feel something too, because he groans. Reddish-orange reptilian eyes open, and before I can blink, Taran is on top of me. We spend the morning tangled in each other. By the end, my body feels both heavy and light. I am not sure my arms or legs will move any time soon. Taran’s arms wrapped around me when I finally catch my breath; I tell him, “I brought us some water.”Taran lightly runs his fingers down my b

Taran and I land outside the cave in Scotland. It’s dark and cold, so he quickly pulls me inside. Taran has me wait in the council room as he gathers things from different parts of the ruins and the cave. Sitting on one of the benches, I begin reading a book that I packed. The lighting crystals flicker oddly. Looking around, I try to find something out of place, but I notice nothing.“Is everything okay? Why are you all flickering?” I ask.They stop flickering and glow brighter. Smiling, I say, “I’m happy to see all of you again also. I always love coming here.”I go back to reading my book and soon fall asleep.My eyes slowly open as soft music plays. I look around the empty room and notice how dark the crystals are. I call for Taran, but there is no answer. Standing, I begin walking towards the sound of the music. Walking out of the room, I follow the sound to the door to the dragon temple. The entry is activated, but

The Dragon's Stone Jail break
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
The Dragon's Stone Not your blood
It’s a few days before Bryan and I get married. Last night, Sarah came over with a positive pregnancy test. I was surprised she had already taken one. It doesn’t feel like jealousy, but I don’t feel comfortable around Sarah. I tried talking to Bryan, but he didn’t feel the same way.As I walked by the clinic, I noticed Sarah going inside. It is too early for her to see the doctor and she is supposed to inform Bryan and me of every appointment.Curious, I followed her into the clinic. She meets an obstetrician. I wait outside the clinic. When she comes out, I call to her. “Hi Sarah. Is everything okay?”Sarah looks surprised to see me, “Yes, everything is great. I just wanted to see the doctor…. I needed another shot.”Sarah just took a shot two days ago and they are once a week. “Didn’t you just get one?”Sarah seemed nervous. “Yes, but they didn’t have enough for a full dose, so I had to get the rest today.”I can’t explain it, but I know Sarah is lying. Maybe if I make her feel more
The Dragon's Stone Sarah
I stare at myself in the bridal gown. The dress is a ballgown with lace sleeves and high neck. This doesn’t seem like a dress I would pick, but something Bryan’s mother would choose. Even with Bryan’s protests, I have let Charlotte help me plan the wedding. I don’t think Bryan realizes how hard this is for me since my mother is gone.“Where is the veil?” Charlotte asks the attendants.Looking nervous, the attendant explains, “We don’t usually put the veil on for the fittings.”Annoyed, Bryan’s mother tells her, “She doesn’t remember this dress. Go get the veil so she can have her bridal moment.”Looking at the time, I tell Charlotte, “We need to hurry. There is a pack meeting tonight, and I need to help organize the meal with the omegas.”Charlotte nods, “We will have you there on time.” She pauses for a moment, then says, “You have become a good luna. I know the conversation we had two months ago was a lot, but it makes me feel that it was worth it to see you being a good luna.”“I’m
The Dragon's Stone Peter
TaranI place the stone on a large table in the temple. “Please, show her to me,” I whisper. I’m given of vision of Tru cooking. My heart aches. Two years ago I left Tru under the protection of Bryan’s wolf pack. Everyday I miss her. There are nights I dream of her and I feel at peace in that moment.Tru never feels happy or excited anymore. At first, I questioned if I wasn’t feeling her emotions because of our bond, but after seeing her in the stone, I realized she isn’t happy. I wish so much to go save her. Soon Brehm will finish our house and I will fly to her. Once I killed all the dragons that wanted to harm her, we will never part again. Until then, I will hide her.My vision of Tru ends. I wait in the temple for one of the council members. When Peter arrives he seems anxious. “My king, I heard you requested me.”I nod, “Is there anything you wish to tell me?”Peter looks puzzled, “I don’t believe so, your majesty.”I turn towards the lighting crystals, “Did you know they change
The Dragon's Stone The dragons awaken
TaranI flew to the island where I took Tru’s family with Brehm and building materials. This island will sustain them, but I know they miss modern life.Brehm seems to panic when he sees Bill. I introduce them but don’t bother explaining to Bill that Brehm killed Tru in the past or ease Brehm’s nerves by explaining that Bill has no magical abilities.While unpacking the building materials, Bill asks, “How is Tru?”I pause, then say, “Tru is still asleep. Once the dragons and I rid the hunters away from Bryan’s pack, I will wake her. I don’t want her magic to be noticed, so I want to leave no excuses to return.”Bill nods. Softly, he asks, “What do we do if the dragons come here?”Easing his concerns, I explain, “They won’t. There is no magical pull to this place. Brehm will help you build more stable housing. This island has natural vegetation so there is plenty of food. I will find a way to give you entertainment. Here are some lighting crystals. This way you won’t always need a fire
The Dragon's Stone Ice Caverns
TaranI gave Tru to the wolf. The deal is that he is to make her laugh every day, never tell her the truth about me, and keep her safe from the other dragons. I used a spell to hide her in his territory, then I will tell the other dragons we hold a treaty with Bryan’s wolf pack. Bryan will keep Tru safe on his land. If they wish, they can marry and build whatever life together they wish until I return. Then Tru can choose to stay with him or come with me.Tru and I are still connected, but I gave Bryan a special herb to put into her tea once a month to keep my symbol from glowing. As long as he administers it to her monthly, she will never notice it.Bryan told me that if Tru fell back in love with him or if they got married, I was to leave her with him. I agreed. I doubt our mate bond will allow her to fall in love with someone else, but on the chance it happens, I want Tru to be happy.I’m not sure what Bryan told her, I explained to him that she wouldn’t remember me. He seemed over
The Dragon's Stone Heartache
Bryan’s mother gives the tailor a disapproving look, “Can’t you make her look a little more regal?”The tailor looks at her, “We can elongate the coat to make her seem taller and use a skirt instead of slacks, or we could try a dress?”“No, the straight dresses make her loose her shape. Her body is just so awkward. I’m not sure how to dress it. We need her to be seen as a wise and regal leader. No one will think that is she continues dressing like a broke college student.”The tailor nods and goes into the back to find more clothes. Looking at me, Bryan’s mother says, “Next, we need to work on your hair. It clearly doesn’t matter how often we go to the salon; you can’t style it yourself.”“Charlotte, I will never live by your standards. It doesn’t matter how many outfits you have, the pack makes me, or how many times you do my hair. I will always be this way.” I tell Bryan’s mom.She lets out a sigh, “I’m only trying to help how you are viewed.”“You’re trying to turn me into you,” I
The Dragon's Stone Worse than death
“Tru? Are you home?” I hear Bryan call.“I’m in the office!” I reply. I’m stacking small rocks that I turned from paper. It is about twelve rocks high when Bryan enters.“You ready to go….” Bryan looks around, “Tru, is there a little green guy helping you? Are you wearing him like a backpack?”My concentration breaks and the rocks fall. “Look if that were the case, I would go find the dragons and say, this isn’t the sorceress you’re looking for.”Bryan smiles, “You are fighting against an evil emperor.”I pause for a moment and think, “Is the Dragon King evil? You never talk about him, no one does. I heard he got rid of the hunters and most of the vampires. Doesn’t that make him good?”Bryan shrugs, “He killed a lot of my friends. Have you forgotten that they killed your family?”The truth is I had forgotten. It isn’t real to me that my family is dead. Somehow, I’m lying to myself about it. I missed everyone’s funeral and Bryan won’t take me to the cemetery, so I have nothing to prove
The Dragon's Stone Welcome home
Bryan and I head to a private elevator and take it up to the top floor. I notice Bryan looking slightly anxious, but he doesn’t say anything. As we reach our floor and step out, Bryan looks upset. I hear him mumble, “She better not do what I think she’s doing.”I am about to ask what he means as he opens the door to our home and a group of people yell surprise. I freeze and look around. None of these faces look familiar, yet all look happy to see me. A banner hangs reading, “Welcome home Luna”. Bryan’s mother suddenly appears, she hugs me tightly and welcomes me home. I am not sure what to say or do. Everything feels overwhelming. Who are these people? Why are they here? Why does nothing seem familiar?Bryan looks slightly annoyed at his mother, “I told you not to do this. Tru doesn’t remember anything. This is probably really overwhelming for her.”I squeeze his hand, thanking him for standing up for m
