“There’s an intrusion in the east. The barrier has been compromised.” Moran bowed his head when I looked up. I could feel my scales surfacing. Moran knelt on one knee and said, “Allow me to take a look. Shall I call Ryker?”
“An intruder has trespassed and you are asking permission to investigate the matter?” I bristled at his ignorance and the need of being formal when he should have gone to check. “Take care of the paperwork. I will go and check.” I got up from my chair and stomped out of the room.
Who would dare to invade? I seethed at the thought. Brenton was ready to tear them apart. How could someone choose the steepest side of the mountain to invade? Was the barrier less powerful there? I decided to consult Hansika once I have dealt with the matter. My footsteps quickene

[Valerie] Despite the fear and the inevitable humiliation that was in store for me, I didn’t dare to rebel. For some reason, I felt safe as he led the way through the slippery, snow-laden path. However, he seemed to lack manners. Not once did he slow his pace since he was a foot taller than me and he clearly had in-depth knowledge about the area? I had to stumble my way to keep up with me. Finally, when I saw that he wasn’t going to slow down, I said, “I know I have broken a rule or whatever, but can you be less impolite and at least slow down? Or do you plan to make my death look like an accident when I slip on the way and break my neck?” He stopped and so did I, barely stopping myself from colliding against his back. He turned to look at me from over his shoulder, or rather glare at me like I suggested something heinous. He turned back again a

[Valerie]“How long will it take us to reach us to the…err, office, Mr….?”“Moran.” The guy supplied helpfully.“Mr. Moran,” I said, clearing my throat. He smiled, not unkindly, and it had me blushing again. Were dragons this hot?We were walking slowly or rather he was matching my pace unlike someone else and I was thankful for that. I wouldn’t have asked this question had my feet not protested. Also, my body was catching up on exhaustion and hunger. I was famished.“That depends on Theo,” he replied, pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked at him to see his amused expression and wondered why

[Clyde] “Your Highness, Miss. Ravenwood is waiting in the office as per your instruction,” Moran’s voice floated in through the mind link. I immediately stood up from the plush high-back chair in my study. “What happened?” Zenith gazed up at me, confusion marring her face. “Something came up,” I murmured. My body was taut with tension. Valerie’s matter would provide a slight respite from the turmoil going in my heart and mind. “Oh. Can I help?” she asked eagerly, just like she used. But this time, it looked like she just wanted to be with me. Like she was more desperate than eager. I shook my head. “You have travelled a lot. Rest for now. We’ll talk tomorrow,” I said with a small smile. The shine in her amber ey

[Valerie] I speed-walked out of the office knowing very well that Viola was following me. I heard Moran calling behind me, but my tears had already begun streaming down my cheeks. I almost wished for my mom to be here or Xyan… or Kenneth. Anyone but Viola. A gust of icy wind hit my face as soon as I exited the office, making me shiver. I pulled my hoodie tighter and stuffed my hands into the pockets but it did little to warm my fingers or lessen the shiver in that case. “Val.” I stiffened. I swallowed around the lump forming in my throat and brace for the reprimand that would soon commence. I didn’t turn around but that didn’t stop Viola from coming around and standing in front of me. Her midnight blue eyes flashed with anger. “Why?” She didn’t have to elaborate. I matched her glare with mine. “I’m not in the fucking mood to talk.” I hitched my backpack, even though it was now more like a rucksack now. And looked back for Moran. Wasn’t I promised a room? I could sleep off the exhau

[Valerie] When I woke up the next morning, I felt disoriented. The bed was wrong, and it was too cold for my liking. I snuggled further inside, thinking of snagging a couple of minutes more, maybe I’ll skip class and tell Elias- My eyes shot open all of a sudden and I sat up. The room was still drowned in semi-darkness because of the heavy curtains. I was not in Crescentville but in the Basilisk territory. I was supposed to be participating in the Medeis Challenge. My heart thudded in my chest, partly from waking up with a start and partly from the realisation. Also, I am supposed to be meeting the Dragon King this morning… I wrestled the blanket aside and stumbled out of the bed. I had no way of knowing the time unless I switched on the phone. Screwing my eyes shut and hoping for the worst, I powered on the gadget. The moment it booted to life, the pinging and vibrations began, but my gaze settled on the digital clock. I blinked several times to see if I read it wrong because of a

[Clyde] “Zenith is back? When did she come back?” Moran asked, a hint of surprise in his tone. I stared at the map that was more like a drawing of a bunch of faded lines and scribbles. They say this was drawn by our ancestors and will give an idea of where the dragon pearl is. It was more like a few centuries old scribbled bullshit to me. I hummed. “And did she…?” “No. We haven’t spoken much. Only catching up,” I replied in a clipped tone. In truth, I had gone back late to the residence and was told that Zenith had returned to the guest quarters. In the morning, I had come to the office earlier than necessary, knowing that Zenith wouldn’t visit unless necessary. I was not one to avoid people, but she was, as always, not everyone even if our relationship had become sour or stagnant. But that wasn’t for Moran to know. He was usually deferential, but being my second-in-command for years sometimes made him bold at times. He took the hint and murmured, “I see.” It was then that the

[Valerie] I couldn’t really understand where I am but it was bright, and it was blinding. I squinted and shielded my eyes to look around but it felt as if I couldn’t even open them. “Relax, Valerie,” the soothing voice that sometimes made its presence known in my mind, echoed. “Well, now I can’t relax even more,” I muttered. They remained silent. “Where am I?” “Somewhere between here and there..” they answered cryptically. Last I remember, I lost consciousness after controlling Fire, which is definitely not my Element. “Wait…are you…are you Rosamond? I heard a lot of stories from mom about how she heard a voice and thought she lost it but didn’t and then-” “I am not her… I am not Queen Rosamond,” the voice interrupted. I opened my mouth to argue, but then realised that it would be bizarre if Queen Rosamond began speaking to me because mom was her reincarnation and so it would be illogical. “Then who are you?” I demanded. It was a little weird to be talking to someone wh

[Clyde] “What worries you, Clyde?” I turned and bowed my head respectfully. I let out a puff of air to let him know that yes, I was worried, but staying in my dragon form was helping me to repress my worry and concern as well as my unreasonable anger towards the force that was unfathomable. This must have been a surprise to him, for this was the second time in a week that I was here. This cliff was a stiff one, overlooking a gentle stream that flowed beneath and the lush forest surrounding it. The very place that calmed my mind and gave me solace. My brother and I discovered this place when we were at the age where we didn’t know sorrow. It also happened to be where my brother was living, in a humble log cabin. This place was so isolated that hardly anyone dared to climb it, giving both of us a perfect opportunity to get respite. For him, it was more like a prison– a self-proclaimed prison. My brother smiled, the same serene smile as if his heart hadn’t been torn apart and his f

[Valerie][five moths later…]The mating ceremony did not happen. Even after Davina recovered, she did not really overcome the trauma of that day. Brandon ended his seclusion as he had told us and then as a sheer surprise to all, especially me he announced that his second chance mate was Viola.I wasn’t sure what game fate was playing with us, but I was kind of happy with it.After the incident, my parents along with Xyan visited us. Viola had tagged along too.“I am so glad you are okay. I am so proud of you,” Mom had repeatedly murmured through her tears as she hugged me multiple times.As for Moran and Mia, they hadn’t reconciled which made me only feel worse. Moran’s downcast eyes were too much to bear.“Well, not everyone gets their happy ending,” he had said wistfully when we had finally found free time to talk what with being swamped with work.~~~~As we dug further into Fiona’s case, we found out slowly that she started cultivating demonic powers after she came to know about t

[Valerie]“No!” I screamed. Clyde jumped out of the way, staggering sideways to deflect the attack.‘Move, do something,’ Ruelle said but all I could do was struggle to get out of the array.“Why did you come to save me, silly girl,” Davina hissed viciously.The fire swirled and I could barely see Clyde staggering back again, looking for ways to defend himself. He could not turn into his dragon, not here because the room was too low to hold his form and I could see that he still held to his love for his sister.I have to work…. I have to work fast… or he will….I stopped letting my thoughts go in that direction.The fear was palpable through our bond. It pained me to see him this way. Why was I such an idiot? Why did I have to be the savior and come to save this woman who cared for no one?‘Take the pearl from him and destroy her,’ Lativia’s calm voice filled my mind.I glanced at her through bleary vision. No doubt that I was crying.‘How?’ I said helplessly.‘You are the mage wolf, a
The Last Dragon's Mage ~The Showdown (P2)~
[Valerie]What was happening? I glanced at Clyde, bewildered.“Fiona… what’s wrong?” Clyde asks, partially shielding me from the view. His fear and betrayal are palatable in his tone.“What do you think?” Fiona’s tone is sharp and rude. I glance at Zenith who is unusually silent as she stands aside. What is happening?‘She has turned to demonic powers. I should have sensed it,’ Ruelle growls.“You…”Fiona holds up a hand.“Listen, I don’t have the time to chit-chat. Come with me quietly and bring that mate of yours too. Once the business is done, you can go wherever the Hell you want.” Her gaze darted towards me briefly. All I could see was indifference in them. I tugged at Clyde’s hand but he didn’t react.“What if I refuse?” He asked.“Then our mom will die,” Fiona answered promptly. I inhaled sharply.Clyde moved forward, his stance threatening. Fiona’s gaze widened and I, too, detected fear for Aber second before she masked it behind her bravado.“Lead the way,” Clyde gritted out
The Last Dragon's Mage ~The Showdown (P1)~
[Valerie]It was still pretty much in the middle of the night when I woke up. I sat up immediately, feeling sweaty and realizing that my heart was beating, no, thudding in my chest. Clyde, unfortunately, felt this, and he too, woke up.“What’s the matter?” He asked, wrapping an arm around me while removing my sweat-damp hair from my forehead.“I…” I looked at him not knowing how to string words together.“We need to go to the main library, like now or… I am afraid that Lativia might not survive for long,” I rambled, my voice shaky and laced with concern and apprehension.“What?”“Lativia is in there and I just know it. She has been trapped there all this while and I am betting that the pearl is there too,” I murmured before glancing at him pleadingly.Clyde gave me a surprised look before turning away his gaze and then nodding. “Okay. Fine, let’s… let’s just rest for now.” He sounded tired and placating.I nodded reluctantly, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to sleep.~~~~~~I hurri
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Tomorrow~
[Valerie]In no time, Clyde transformed into his beautiful blue Basilisk. I stare at his dragon form, only this time in awe. Brenton craned his neck down and I tentatively touched his head. He closed his eyes before opening them. I saw my reflection in them, my lips curved into a smile unbeknownst to me.“Hi… we are meeting amicably this time, aren’t we?” I murmur with an amused huff. Brenton pulled away and then blinked. That was a yes.“Let’s go to meet your brother now,” I said and hopped onto his back this time without any assistance. I circled my arms around his neck and hugged him. The scales felt cold against my cheek and then before I knew it, he had begun his ascent, which nonetheless made me yelp.“A bit of a warning would be welcomed,” I shouted, trying to let my voice be heard, but there was no heat or anger behind those words.~~~~~“That is wonderful news. I am glad,” Brandon said, his happiness clear on his face. He then looked at me. “I am so sorry for what happened, n
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Telling The Family~
[Valerie]“How am I going to convince my parents now? You know I left my training and came here,” I groused as I put on a pair of joggers that he lent me. My kind mate had apparently ripped the jeans I had worn, and I couldn’t be more embarrassed. This way every member would know what happened!He shrugs on a casual T-shirt and I can’t help but ogle at his bare skin, now marred by my nails and claws. Although they are healing. I turn my head quickly before he could catch me sneaking a peek. I dress as properly as possible.Clyde disclosed that he knew Zenith was trying to manipulate him and he was just trying to act the way she wanted and wanted to see what she would do.“Dragons are not so weak, especially a blue Basilisk,” he had said proudly. I could feel it through our newly formed bond and it both overwhelmed and relieved me.I was not sure what to expect since I have heard stories of mates like Vampire and Werewolf, A seer and a werewolf but never a bond with a dragon, well not u
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Claiming~
[Valerie]I yelped as Clyde scooped me up in his arms and carried me upstairs. I looped my arms around his neck. My heart thudded in my chest as I mulled over my words. I knew what entailed after putting claiming marks on each other. I could hear Clyde’s strong heartbeat and was appeased by the fact that he wasn’t totally calm about it.Unlike his earlier self who might have been reluctant, this side of Clyde is a bit reckless and I loved it. I am not sure if this would help, but it is worth a try. Zenith’s triumphant look flashed across my mind and my mood soured just a bit.But not for long as my attention was caught by the opening of a door and I gasped as we entered Clyde’s room.It was minimally decorated but grand. The four-poster wooden bed with beautiful grayish-blue drapes and matching bedsheets did not look ordinary at all. The curtains were drawn and they were in shades of blue as well. A chest of drawers and a huge closet were among other things in the room. There was only
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Take Me Home~
[Valerie]Moran’s words made me panic. What did he mean by Zenith’s influencing Clyde?As we walked up the mountains, I couldn’t think of anything else. Was Zenith doing this on purpose? She knew I would run back to Clyde if I knew and so she is doing this, but what if that’s not the case? What if she is actually doing this to win Clyde back and become his mate like she originally intended to do?As I stood before the gates of the territory, my heart pounded in my chest, uncertain of what I would find when I visit Clyde’s residence. It had been only a few days since I left this place, and talking to Clyde did not even feel different so how?“Did he behave in a different way?” I asked as we walked towards Clyde’s residence. I did not miss the way the guards and some clan members gave a surprised look at my sudden return.“Yes like he tolerated her in the office, which I found shocking, given what happened,” he grunted. My heart clenched in my chest.I cannot lose Clyde too.I couldn’t h
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Resolute Hearts~
[Valerie]I leave Dad’s office after he indicated for me to do so as Mom was getting agitated again. My heart is pounding in my chest after the extraordinary and hard-to-believe revelation that Elias had written in the notebook.I somehow manage to reach my room on wobbly legs and close the door.With shaky hands, I dial Clyde’s number. He picks up on the third ring, his voice filled with concern, “Hey, I was just about to call you. Is everything okay? How are you holding up?”All the tension and adrenaline just bleed out of me with those soothing words. At the back of my mind, I realize what others meant when they said that when you find your soulmate, you will realize how much they mean to you and wonder how you ever managed to get anything done without them.“Valerie?” My thoughts are halted by his voice. I realize how my thoughts had drifted elsewhere.“Ah, I am… I am fine. I just… I spoke to my mom and Jade. I showed them something I found in Elias’ room,” I said slowly. I feel g
