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

[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

[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

[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

[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

[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
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Prologue~
[Valerie] “Very good, Val. You are improving.” I had scowled at Elias’ praise. My mentor had returned the scowl with one of his gentle smiles. I had averted my gaze and focussed it on my palms. ‘Why can’t I control a small amount of water?’ I had wondered petulantly. How childish and idiot I was... “You will learn and improve, eventually. Your mother didn’t start before she was 18.” He would give me that calming smile that he did every time he saw me frustrated at my failure. “But mom had no freaking clue who she was, Elias. I know who I am,” I would whine, which would usually be answered with silence. However, I have stopped whining now. The initial frustration had been a foundation to the present anger and resentment. But standing in the arena at the moment, I felt nothing but fear and regret. Fear that I would completely disa

[Valerie]“Why am I friends with you again?” Sarah asked, huffing. I hitched my backpack on my shoulder and shot her a confused look, but then again she could be upset about anything so I was not worried.“Because no one else will tolerate your drama,” Kenneth quipped, used to her dramatics like I was and slung his arm around her. She didn’t swat it away. I bit back a smile. I said, “Thanks, Ken. You are the bestest friend I could have asked for.” Like the script of a play, Sarah glared at me and then at her mate. “I hate you both, ganging up on me ever since we were 6.”Kenneth snorted. “No, you bullied us, sweetheart. We are just returning the favour now.”

[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
