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

    Ash's point of view.The high witch Ophelia leads us to a large clearing in the forest, where a large flat stone sits at the centre. I hold Anna’s hand tight. I'm feeling sick with nerves. God only knows how she’s feeling. I whisper in her ear. “You make sure you come back to me Anna; I need you.”Before I bring her chin to mine as I kiss her precious lips, wiping away the tears in her eyes as she whispers back. I will, Ash, I promise you."Ophelia walks her over to the stone; before helping Anna to lie down, she places a silver star on her chest as she whispers. "This is the magical Eden Stone. The moon Goddess will show her face soon.”As the moon appears in the gap in the trees, the star begins to light up with the reflection of the moon.The witches form a circle around us as the moon begins to darken Ophelia, and the rest of the Eden Witches form a circle around Anna. The witches chant inside the inner circle, Anna Closes her eyes as Darius and his pack of wolves in the outer ci

    Ash's point of view.I carry Anna through the bunker to her bedroom, gently placing her on the bed and removing her shoes before sliding in next to her and pulling her into my arms as I whisper."Please come back to me, baby; I love you so much, you promised me a future, but now we can have our forever, Anna."I say it over and over again, but still, she stays still with no signs of waking up until I finally fall asleep with her in my arms. It's been a crazy and stressful day, that's for sure. When I wake up in the morning, Anna is still sleeping; I stay with her telling her how much that I love and need her and how I can't wait for our future together, marriage and a family. I want it all with her.Bear knocks on the door before popping his head around the corner as he says."Here, Son, I've got you some breakfast.""Thanks, Bear", I reply with a sigh; he puts a tray down on the side table, looking over at Anna as he asks. "No sign of her waking up yet then?""No, nothing." I reply.

    Ash's point of view.When we wake up in the morning, I get the shock of my life. Anna is awake before me; it's like she has a new lease of life now.I smile as I turn to look at her as I say. "Why are you awake so early?"She giggles as she replies. "Sorry, I didn't want to wake you; you were sleeping so peacefully."I chuckle; our roles have been reversed."I've never slept in bed this long." I say as I look at the time; Anna giggles as she says, "You must have needed it, but then again, we did use up a lot of energy last night."I laugh as I ask. "So why are you awake so early?""I'm starving." She replies..."Can you believe it; I am actually fucking starving; please tell me you have some bacon left.'She asks with a grin." Yes, we have bacon left, and sausage and eggs and beans and tomatoes and black pudding."I say with a chuckle as Anna dives out of bed, throwing on one of my t-shirts that covers her to her knees, and she's out of the door before I've even swung my legs off the

    Ash's point of view. As I pull the car up outside the fire pit, Stan grins as he walks over to the side of the car. "It's good to see you, Buddy." He says before pulling me into a hug. "It's good to see you too Stan, thanks for looking after this place for me." I say as I look at the Fire pit before walking around the car to open the door for Anna; her eyes are on Dylan as I reach in to take her hand as I whisper. "Come on, Anna, he will understand. once he knows the full story." She nods her head as she takes hold of my hand before climbing out of the car; I introduce her to Stan, as Dylan stays in the doorway. "Stan, this is Anna."..."Anna, this is my best friend and right-hand man here at the Fire pit." I say; Stan pulls her into a big hug as he says. "So this is the little lady who's stolen Ash's heart; it's good to finally meet you, Anna. Although I've heard so much about you off Ash, I feel as though I already know you."

    Anna's point of view After saying our goodbyes to everyone at the bunker today, we are heading to Ash's gym, the fire pit. It takes a few hours drive until we finally arrive; as we drive up the dirt path that leads to the Pit, I can see Dylan waiting outside, alongside a big man. I can't take my eyes off Dylan, though; he looks so well. The last time I saw him was when I asked one of the staff from the palace to bring him to the pit, hoping that Ash would find him and be able to help him; I had no idea if he would make it. To see him looking so well brings tears to my eyes. The big guy comes striding over to the car, and I can't help but giggle as he opens the door with so much force he almost pulls the door off. He grabs hold of Ash, pulling him from the car as he crashes his arms around him in a hug. This has to be Stan, Ash's best friend. Stan has been running the Fire pit in Ash's absence; he speaks of him all of the time. They finally pull apart as Ash walks around to open t

    Anna's point of view. Dylan smiles when they walk back into the room; Ash raises his head to look at me with a grin, and my heart lifts. I know it's going to take time to earn that boy's trust back, but seeing his face now, I know that it's a massive improvement from just a few hours ago, and that’s all thanks to Ash. He really is the most amazing person that I have ever met in my life. I don't know what this is between us yet, but I do know that I love him, and he tells me he loves me back and that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. I'm excited, excited that for the first time in my life, I can see a future alongside him. As for the Vampire curse, I don't know if it has left any side effects yet, whether I will be able to have children of my own, I don't know yet. God, I hope so, though as a woman getting pregnant is something that so many take for granted. Yet to others who, for whatever reason, don't have that option, it's a miracle. A miracle I can only pray for.

Ash grins as he lip-syncs, "I love you, baby."Everybody's eyes turn to look at me as l Yes, you guessed it blushed like an idiot, obviously wearing the biggest grin on my face.Stan laughs beside me as he mutters. "Wow, my boys got it bad; what have you done to him, Anna."I shrug my shoulders as I sit back and watch my man. The crowd loves him, and I can't help but laugh as he plays to them. His opponent walks out; he's a big man, and if I didn't know what Ash was capable of, I'd be worried, but in true Killer style, he knocks him to his feet in the first round.The referee announces Ash as the winner...and the crowd goes crazy.

    Anna's Point of view After a fantastic first night at the Fire pit, Ash pulls me into his arms as he whispers.“Come on, baby, Let's go home.”He pulls me outside into the waiting jeep before we make our way to his house, it's only a ten-minute drive from the Fire pit, and when we pull up outside, I immediately fall in love with the place. It's beautiful. A quaint little brick house within its own gated grounds after spending forty years locked away in a massive dark and dreary Palace, this house is perfect.Ash smiles as he turns to look at me as he asks. “So, what do you think of it from the outside?”I sigh as I reply. “It's beautiful, Ash.”He reaches out to take my hand in his as he says, “If you like the outside, just wait until you see the inside.”I take hold of his hand as he leads me to the front door; I let out a gasp as he opens the door. The house is much bigger than it looks from the outside; Jax explains how he renovated it. Extending it yet keeping with its original

    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.

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

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."

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
