Ash’s point of view

Fuck! Where do I start…

I clear my throat before I say. “I know I've told you that we need to find this dragon heart stone, but there's a bit more to it than just that.”

Dylan nods his head. “Yeah, I know, we need to find the stone so that we can save Anna and the baby"

I put my hand on his shoulder as I say. “Yeah, but the reason we need to get that stone is because Anna is carrying a Dragon Shifter heir, and for her to be able to continue her pregnancy safely, then we need the blessing of the stone.”

Dylan's chin drops to the floor, and he goes to speak, but no words come out; I chuckle as I say.

“Yeah, I know it's kind of crazy. I met the Moon Goddess today, and I found out that I am a Dragon Shifter.”

“A What?” Dylan asks as Bear mumbles. “A Royal Dragon shifter.”

I Laugh. “Yeah, A Royal Dragon Shifter, and today I also found out that my parents gave me away when I was born to keep me safe as the Kingdom of the Dragons was under threat from the Underworld. I wa

    Ash’s Point of view. My little brother is far too mature for his age; I smile as I watch him with Bear, the man who I will always think of as a father figure, the same man that has now taken my younger brother under his wings, just as he did with me all those years ago. I smile as I wonder If I’ll ever get used to saying that—my Little Brother. This also leads me to another dilemma, though. Do I take my younger brother to war with me? It's so easy to forget that this lad is only twelve years old. The strength and power that he holds more than rivals any man. Damn, the lad gave me the toughest fight of my life. I could undoubtedly use his strength as we take down the underworld, but he's just a child, and who knows what horrors we will face? God, I wish I could talk to Anna right now; she would know what to do. My heart breaks as I think of her. I miss her so much. I know that it's only been a couple of days, but it feels as though a part of me is missing, and it hurts so mu

    Ash’s point of vieI've been at the bunker for a week now, and everything is coming together. I'm missing my little Vampire Queen more than I ever thought possible. I feel as though my heart is being pulled apart, and it's killing me. but I know I have to do this, and I know that little detail has to be planned to precision when we go into the underground. God only knows what we will face, and we must be prepared for every possibility.Knowing that doesn't make it any easier though, every day that I’m apart from my Queen hurts that little bit more. When you fall in love with someone, you take them for granted, and you don't realise just how much they do for you, how much love they give you. It's only when you are forced apart that it hits you, and it hits you fucking hard.I find it hard to get to sleep at night without her in my arms; I find it hard to eat without her beside me as I watch her face light up as she tastes food and drinks. I find it hard to take a shower on my own, for

    Ash's point of view It's been three long and lonely weeks without my beautiful Queen by my side, but today we got word of the whereabouts of the rogue's hideout. So Bear and I have pulled together a team of highly trained elites. The absolute best-trained military from around the world, and we're going undercover to stake out these Rouge's.Stan will be staying behind at the bunker; although he's one of my top fighters, he's not up to the standard of these guys, plus I need him here at the bunker. I need someone who I can trust to carry on organising the teams. To gather our resources from around the world as we get ready for this war, and there's no one I trust more than this man. We are heading out tonight under the cover of darkness as a team of ten highly trained men plus one boy, not your average child, though but yes, I've decided Dylan should come with us. Bear is right. If I don't bring him along, he will find a way, and I would much rather have him where I can keep an eye o

    So, the final trek to the rogue's hideout begins, there is no other way to reach them apart from on foot and the terrain is rough as we hack away at the dense undergrowth, these rogues sure know how to keep themselves out of sight.Thank God I picked these guys. They handle it with ease as they hack away at the overhang, making a path as we trek forward.I keep my eye on Dylan and smile, nothing seems to faze him. He grins as he helps clear the way, the heavy machete seemingly lightweight in his more than capable hands. Maybe I shouldn't worry about him, but he's my brother, one that I've only just found and still a child even though he doesn't feel like it. Of course, I worry he's my family along with Anna and our child.God, I'm missing her…. You would think as each new day passes it would get easier, but my heart aches for her and every day that I'm away from her it breaks a little bit more.Two hours into the trek we find a clearing where we stop, it's arduous work so we decide to

    Ash's point of view.I lose sight of my brother and the rest of the guys as we abseil down the cliff. The atmosphere becomes colder and foggier, and the air becomes thicker and denser making it harder to breathe. How the hell do these rouges like out here?Our feet hit the ground before we unwrap ourselves from the ropes.Underneath the cliffs, we find the entrances to the caves. Bear nods his head to the largest entrance, and I pull my gun from its holster as I follow behind. When we reach the entrance, we both tug our night Google's down over our eyes.Thank God for our military training…The caves feel surprisingly warm when we enter, this must be where they spend most of their time after all. Inside, the caves open out into huge caverns, and I notice the ledges that lead you higher, overlooking the Caverns. Tapping bear on the shoulder he turns to look at me as I point to one of the ledges. He nods as he follows behind me.The ledge is narrow, and the rock is Slippy as we make our

    Bear's point of viewAnd so, I do one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I walk away from my best friend. Praying they don't kill him, but I have a feeling they won't because for some reason they wanted Dylan when he was just a baby, they believe these dragons can somehow harvest the power of the dragon heart gem and after what I've just witnessed, I believe it too.God, I hope I get to witness Ash in his Dragon form one…he will be magnificent.But just now I know I have to walk away. I am no Dragon, only a mere human and one that has nothing to offer these rouges.They kill for the fun of it and my fate would not be the same as Ash's. Right now, I'm his best hope, that's if I can get out of these caves without being noticed.The caves are filled with uproar as the rogues' spot Ash. They know who he is, or they know he is either the Dragon King or Prince. I can hear the excitement in their voices, but I cannot wait around any longer. I must get out of her now.I keep my back a

    Bear's point of viewI hold Dylan in my arms to stop him from falling to the floor as I sign for Doogie to come over. Doogie is one of our medics, and I give him the all-clear to take over as I gently lay the young Dragon on the ground.Doogie looks at me as he says"Are you sure you want to do this, Bear? He's not going to be happy when he wakes up."I nod my head as I reply.“Yes, we have no choice. Ash would be devastated if anything happened to him, and if Dylan is half the man that Ash is then there is no way he would not want to go searching for his brother. I promised Ash if anything were to happen to him, I would take care of Dylan, and I don't see any other way; as soon as our backs are turned, the kid will be gone, and then the Rogues have two Dragons in their grip. I can't take that chance."Doogie nods his head before he pulls out a needle from his kitbag and stabs Dylan's leg with it."That should keep him out for a few hours."He says. I grab a drink of water as we pack

    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

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

    The Hidden King and IChapter 79Anna's point of viewI wake up in the morning still wrapped in Ash's strong arms. 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
