Ash's point of view

I wake up with a groan; I have no idea what time I fell into bed last night after my heavy conversation with Bear; all I remember is that we emptied the whisky bottle first.

Fuck….. I'm getting far too old for this shit.

I swing my legs out of bed as I check the time. It's 7.30 in the morning, definitely later than I'm used to getting up. I head into the kitchen to get myself a glass of water. Bear is up, of course, and looking as fresh as a daisy…. Or maybe a seven-foot sunflower but either way, he looks a hell of a lot better than I feel.

"Good Morning."

He says in a voice that is far too cheery; I nod my head before filling my glass to the brim. Bear makes us both breakfast as I head off to the medical room to get a bag of fresh blood for Anna. There is no answer when I knock on her door, so I slowly open it and pop my head inside.

She is sleeping; her dark hair is spread across the pillows as the morning sun lights up her pale face; I stop and look at her like

    Ash's point of viewI grin as I hook up another bag of blood; fingers crossed, I get to go for round three later. I kiss her sweet lips as I leave her lying in the bed as the blood drips through, and I walk out of that bedroom door feeling like a fucking king.Everyone's eyes turn to look at me when I walk into the living area; Bear chuckles as he says, your breakfast is still here though I think it might be cold now.I grin, still feeling like a fucking king as I grab my cold breakfast and throw it down my neck, like a starved man.Bear watches me with a raised eyebrow as I say. "What? I'm starving-man."He chuckles as he replies. "Don't worry, Son, we all heard you working up an appetite."I shrug my shoulders with a grin on my face, Bear and the rest of the team know me well, this is just banter between the boys, and I know none of them will embarrass Anna. They have too much respect for her.I spend the next couple of hours in the tech room with Bear and Cookie, named as his mothe

    Ash's point of view.I laugh at my drunken Vampire as I hold her up, realising that she's almost asleep on my shoulder; I whisper into her ear."Come on, baby, let's get you to bed."Which is no easy feat, as Anna seems to have developed jelly legs; I give up trying to get her to walk and throw her over my shoulder."Ohhhhh."I chuckle as she lets out a squeal, all the lads cheer as I carry her to her bedroom; she wiggles over my shoulder, as I place my hand on her perfect rounded ass to keep her still, she lets out a moan giggling as she says."Are we going for round three, baby?"I chuckle as the lad's cheer again, and Anna calls out. "You're all just jealous of my sexy man."I rub her luscious ass as I say. "Oh, I'm your man now, am I, baby?""Yep, every fucking sexy inch of you, and there's a lot of inches, babe."She replies as she wiggles her ass against my hand.I drop her down in the middle of the bed; she lands with a giggle; I slap her ass only because I want to see those ch

  • The Hidden King and I    Chapter 18

    Ash's point of viewWe spend the next couple of weeks getting everything and everyone together. We plan to attack the morning after the blood moon thanks to Anna telling us how the Vampires go bloodthirsty on the night when the moon turns red, leaving them exhausted the morning after; I know it isn't ideal knowing they will be hunting for fresh blood, but it will be the best time to attack when their defence will be at its lowest.The blood moon is just three days away, and I know we are ready to do this; Darius and his hungry pack of wolves are prepared and waiting, and Stan and the boys at the Firepit are out for revenge. The boys at the pit have suffered enough at the hands of the Vampires, and they want blood, only this time it won't be human blood being spilt; it will be vampire blood.I have a further thirty-seven teams from all around the world ready and waiting. Most of these men are ex-military or Vigilantes, all trained in the art of killing, especially vampires.And the tea

    Ash's point of view.Forty-eight hours until we go to war with the Vampires.I wake up early, knowing we have a lot to get through in these last couple of days; I slide out of bed, so I don't wake up Anna before slipping into the medical room for a fresh bag of blood; thankfully, the draining system is working a treat and now I'm always in front with the blood. Not that Anna would ever go hungry, as she has a room full of men willing to go out hunting for her.I smile as I hook the bag up to the drip. Anna doesn't even move. I've never known anyone who sleeps like her, but then again, most of the guys in my life are ex-military, and it is normal for us not to sleep well. I leave the room as quietly as I can, leaving her sleeping; for once, I beat Bear, and I chuckle as I make a start on the breakfasts for all the guys.A minute later, Bear is by my side as he cracks a full tray of eggs on the griddle. Humming to himself as he flips them over with his spatula."You're in a good mood th

    Ash's point of view.After sharing a sexy shower with my little Vampire, we fall into bed exhausted, especially as we've also spent the day getting everything in tip-top condition; Anna joined us as we oiled the weapons in the underground storage. No one asked her to help; she just likes to keep herself busy. It helps to take her mind off what's coming. I know how worried she is about me facing the King.I hold her tight, afraid of letting go; Anna wraps her legs around me, making sure that I can't let go, cherishing every minute of our time together over the last couple of days, neither of us knowing what tomorrow may bring.Twenty-four hours until D-Day. When I wake up in the morning, Anna is already awake, watching me with those beautiful eyes, and I chuckle as I say. "You know it's creepy to watch people when they sleep."She giggles as she replies. "Especially when you're a Vampire."I pull her towards me, so I can kiss her sweet lips as I say. "You are the least scary Vampire in

    Ash's point of view.After we eat dinner with the teams, Anna and I head into her bedroom, where we spend the evening locked in each other's arms as we watch a couple of films. She is still pretty pissed at me, but I think she understands my reasoning. I need my focus 100% on King Areon with no distractions, and Anna is a massive distraction in the best possible way, of course. I can't and won't take any risks with her safety. There is no way the King is ever going to lay his hands on her again.When the final movie is finished, I slide into bed, pulling my sexy little lady alongside me. I need to get some sleep as we have an early start in the morning, forcing my mind to close off; I drift off, feeling content as I hold her tight.I can feel the restlessness in Anna, though, and I know she is finding this hard. I've never had anyone worry about me before, and it makes me more determined than ever to get back home safely.I get up after a couple of hours of sleep, checking my watch. I

    Ash's point of viewI watch as the monster stumbles around the room, he reaches under the bed, obviously looking for something, but thanks to the smoke bomb, he can't see a dam thing.I grab the back of his neck, pulling him to his feet; as Bear looks to see what's under the bed, he pulls out a gun. I laugh as the smoke clears, and the fucker gets a look at my face. A couple of guards come storming into the room; Bear quickly takes them out with two silver bullets straight through the heart. The King's mouth drops to the floor as he says."Take what you want; just let me go. You have my word that I won't take any more human life."I laugh as I reply. "This isn't about you; this is payback for Your Wife...Queen Anna."His face falls as he growls. "Where is the little bitch?"My fist connects with his face before he has time to react; he raises his fists to come at me, but I'm ready as we go round for round; Bear takes a seat, kicking back as he enjoys the show. He gets a couple of chea

    Ash's point of view.I throw my little Vampire Queen over my shoulder, much to the delight of our audience; she lets a surprised gasp before she reaches down to grab my ass.The little Minx.I love this carefree side of her; she is no longer the same broken woman she used to be, that's for sure. We head off into my bedroom, and I throw her into the middle of the bed, where she lands with a giggle.We spend the night making love, a craving for each other that I cannot even begin to describe. Anna is insatiable, but I think a lot of it is down to her emotions running high. She's been so worried for me, and then she stood tall and faced the King, fuck, was that hot.I keep my promise. I don't want to sound big-headed or anything, but I definitely make her breathless many times.By the time we are finished, though, she's not the only one breathless. I pull her into my arms, afraid of letting her go as tomorrow we will make the trek back to Eden Forest to see the high witch, and the though

    Anna’s point of view.And that is how I became the Queen Dragon, and although the day has been perfect, and we are married under the Moon Goddess, I know it’s not the kind of wedding Ash really wanted, but thanks to Cookie and Stans's wife Linda, I have my own surprise for him when we get back to the bunker.We say our goodbye to the moon goddess after she whispers to me,“The Queen stone must be carried with you at all times; as soon as it sees the light, it will expose your Dragon powers, but the stone can also be used to call me to you; if ever you need my help Anna, you can call me through the stone.”Thank you, Moon Goddess, I whisper, before she disappears back into the night sky. Ophelie looks at me as she says, “We have prepared a feast for our King and Queen.”We follow the witches back to their lair as the wolves part, leaving an aisle for us to walk through. Ash squeezes my hand as he whispers, “I know it’s not the kind of wedding you wanted, baby, but I am so happy to hav

    Anna’s point of viewSo, it is the following morning, and we are oft to Eden Forest once more, only this time for the first time. It is for a joyous occasion because today is the day I get to become Ash’s wife, Mrs Ash Willaims, Queen of the Dragons.Who would have thought it possible all those weeks ago when all I ever wanted was to be a normal person, and now all I ever need to be my King’s side, The Dragon King, the true king of the people, the man who will end this war and set humanity free.You couldn't write this shit, could you!I smile as we pull into the outskirts of the forest. The forest is decorated in green ribbons, and when Darius and his pack come to find us, they each wear a green, collar the colour every one associates with The Dragon King—Emerald green, just like his beautiful scales.I hold Ash’s hand as the wolves guide us to the witch's lair.

    Anna’s point of view.After the breakfast of Dragons, we head outside again, only this time we have Bear and Cookie with us; it’s time to learn the art of fire breathing.I watch as Ash and Dylan each take the gem that turns them into their Dragons, and yes, they are still as magnificent as they were this morning; I have to laugh as when Cookie see the size of Ash’s Dragon, I swear his eyes popped out from his head.Yes, Cookie, he is impressive! Both in Human form and in Dragon form.I somehow end up being the mediator between the two Dragons and their two best friends; Bear raises an eyebrow at this, and I shrug my shoulders and smile. How can I explain something that I do not understand myself? After a couple of hours, Ash lets out a long sigh * I can’t do it; it’s not working**It will, Ash; we must keep trying* I reply, trying to sound confident for his sake when, really, I have no idea if this is ever going to work. All I know is that for the Army to penetrate the underworld, t

    Anna's point of view.After many hours of talks with the high witch of Eden forest, it would seem that the only way to open up the underworld is by fire, and it just so happens that we have two huge Dragons on our side, Two huge inexperienced Dragons who must both learn how to fly and breath fire, Dylan is quite happy for once that he has a little more experience than Ash. and I smile as I watch the pair of them together,We are standing above the waterfall today, out in the open. Yes, it may be dangerous, but Ash hopes that no one knows of this place, and when a dragon needs to learn how to fly, then it would be dangerous to be seen.So here we are…Dylan stands above the waterfall, and I must admit I feel a bit anxious as I watch him. Ash unwraps the Dragon Heart Gem, and within minutes, two magnificent Dragons stand before me, Dragons whose scales shimmer in the early morning light. They really are a beautiful sight to see.Dylan looks to Ash as he says, *Just let your wings unfold

    Anna’s point of viewWe stay locked in each other’s grasp until I shiver in his arms; Ash gently places me down as he whispers.“Let’s get you out of here before you catch a cold baby,” I have to giggle as he passes me a towel hidden in some nook in the cave, and I whisper, “You think of everything Ash”“Everything except spare clothes, I must remember that for next time,” he chuckles. as he hands me his boxer shorts and t-shirt. Once I'm dry, I slip into his t-shirt, which drops to my knees, before pulling his boxers on; he looks at me as he says,“I like you in my clothes; everyone knows that you are mine.”Which makes me giggle as I say, “I think they all know I’m yours by now, Ash.” He smiles.“You were always meant to be mine, Anna,” he says before taking my hand as he leads me back along the narrow ledge to the balcony, which is thankfully still empty, and we step back through the gate unnoticed. We're not so lucky when we get inside, though as all heads turn to look at us, I c

    The Hidden King and IChapter 80Anna's point of viewAsh and the rest of the guys keep their promise and enjoy the whole weekend off. It is a weekend of fun and friendship, relaxation and happiness. It's good to see the atmosphere like this. It would seem they all needed this, but when Monday morning comes around, it's all back to business and back to planning the next step of this war with the Demons.Ash is up at the crack of dawn as usual, and after a quick shower, I join them in the kitchen as I help prepare the breakfasts for the troops; it's not an easy task when you have a few hundred mouths to feed,I join Bear at the stove, and Dylan and Cookie lend a hand, too; Cookie seems to be a good influence on him. He is not your typical moody twelve-year-old anymore; he is mature for his age and fits in here with all of the other guys. I have heard him talking of his girlfriend, though I do think he's missing her.I know that Ash and Dylan, being the powerful Dragons they are, will b

I let out a sigh of contentment as I watch him sleep; he looks so peaceful when he sleeps, I giggle as I try to slide out of his arms; he lets out a groan but doesn't wake up, After using the toilet, I'm tempted to slide back into the bed beside him, but when I get a whiff of the bacon cooking, there's no way I can; it has been weeks since I've been able to eat properly my stomach grumbles as I follow the smell to the kitchen where I find Bear at the stove, I immediately grab some food as I help him to cook breakfast for the troops, it feels like I've never been away from the place, Bear grins as he says,"Boy, is it good to have you back, little lady?"I smile as I reply; it's good to be back, even though I feel as though I've never been away.He laughs, "Yeah, it must seem a little strange." "More than a little strange," I say with a giggle,"First, I find out that m

I do not remember being here, and I don't know why we are here. And I listen quietly as Ash tells me everything.I'm carrying the Dragon heir….Ash chuckles as he says,"I know it's a lot to take in. God, I wish you could have seen everything that happened today; I wish you could have seen our baby the way I did; it was beautiful."Bear's deep voice calls from the doorway."About that" He hands me his phone before pressing play; it feels unreal as I look at the screen and watch myself. I'm lying on Eden Rock. I remember it from last time, and I watch as the witches chant and the wolves howl; the most beautiful white lady appears above
