The Last Dragon's Mage ~A little too late~
[Valerie] Kenneth has impeccable timing as always. If the situation had been differ, I would have giggled like a schoolgirl at Ken’s ability to appear almost magically whenever he was the topic of discussion and for a long time, some of us had wondered if he was a wizard but then we realised it was just some… coincidence, maybe? It did not happen all the time, just at rare times albeit important ones. But this time, the situation was complicated. My lips press together as he approaches. His demeanour is tense. “What are you doing here?” I ask. My tone comes out sharper than I realised and my heart tugs painfully when Ken’s dull gaze flashes with pain. I should be the one who should react like that? Why does he look as if I have severed all connections with him? “Your Highness,” he greets instead of answering me directly and bows curtly. I am hyper-aware of Clyde’s presence behind me, of his burning gaze. “What brings you here, beta Kenneth?” Clyde’s tone is laced with icy politenes
The Last Dragon's Mage ~To Verglas~
[Clyde]That was reckless. I should not have acted like that. I flex my fingers remembering the warmth of her skin, the way she shuddered in my grasp. Brenton stirs. I raise my arm and push up the sleeve to see the faint outline of scales. I am not someone who loses control so easily and yet I did. This is the reason I hate the mate bond. Brian ended up this way just because of his mate. I close my eyes to gain more control over my emotions and slowly feel Brenton reluctantly receding back. I am guilty of eavesdropping but even if I wanted to, I couldn’t leave the place, and it had nothing to do with what I wanted, it was this… this invisible pull which spurred emotions that I did not wish to experience, not with her. When I heard beta Kenneth’s confession, I felt several emotions grip my heart like vines. I had half a mind to step out of the shadows and make my presence known, but that would cost some damage to my reputation. A part of me, a darker side that I keep on a leash, fel
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Taking the Longer Route~
[Clyde] At Verglas, the smoky clouds eclipse the brilliant blue of the sky. Snow lies heavy and thick, covering most of the bare branches. I contact Moran as soon as I step near the vicinity of the front gate of the territory although I know he will be on his way. I turn to look over my shoulder and find Valerie looking around, her gaze distant. Is she reminiscing about the time we met? Even though the place isn’t the same. This isn’t the back mountains and she definitely doesn’t need to take a dragon ride to reach the territory, but still. Her eyes look moist and I feel a tug in my heart. I suppress the feeling. Her gaze wanders towards me and when she notices me staring, she averts her gaze. I find it oddly pleasing. I walk back towards where she stands. “Mage Elias, you can go with my sister and Ms. Viola. A few members of my clan have been informed, they’ll show you to your rooms.” Elias casts an uncertain glance at Valerie, who scowls at me. “Moran is on his way,” I tell her,
The Last Dragon's Mage ~The Mate Bond Effect~
[Valerie]My teeth are chattering from the nippy temperature but who cares? Not the man who is practically dragging me down the hill, not caring if I freeze in this temperature. At least the boots help to keep my feet from becoming blocks of ice. Also, no getting on dragons so that’s a good sign, my guts will be saved for the time being. It would be so much better if we could all go together. Why divide? Did Elias really think that Clyde and I had a chance to get together? Hell to the no. Clyde definitely is on the same page as mine. He should have let me go with Moran and the others. He could transform into his dragon and simply fly to his territory. But I can’t even tell him that, lest Mr. high and mighty gets offended. It’s not like I am super close to Moran, but the guy is approachable and easy to talk to. I can already predict that if I can rely on anyone here, it will be him. Why couldn’t he be my mate? Even Elias left me to this brute. He will get an earful from me once I rea
The Last Dragon's Mage ~A Mother's Rebuke~
[Valerie] I studiously ignore the flare of something akin to envy and the painful tug in my heart as I brush past the reunited lovers. Walking behind the King, my foot. “Valerie, wait,” I hear Clyde from a distance but I don’t comply. I glower at the guards who lower their gazes but block my path. Excellent. Now I can neither go back nor enter the territory without the asshole hot on my heels. “I asked you to wait,” he grits when he is within hearing distance, not that he wasn’t before, but now I can practically feel him breathing down my neck. I hold my ground despite having the urge to slap him or worse let Ruelle take over despite our ongoing differences, but I do none. I don’t turn around or acknowledge him either. Clyde resumes walking towards the gate and I follow, ignoring the woman he left behind. Something cruel curls around my heart, a deep sadistic satisfaction, but I don’t choose to ponder on it much. And then like a mirage in the desert, Moran appears not too far aw
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Breaching Personal Space~
[Valerie] “Is Rudra strict?” I ask Elias while having breakfast. Viola has already left since she has been absent for quite a long while. The other day Moran informed me how other mages have left and the winners except for Viola have already begun training. I felt slightly guilty after hearing that. Thankfully, she wasn’t around when Moran informed me. On top of that, I slept fitfully, too busy answering messages and taking calls from family members. None of my friends, the only two who had stuck around until a few days ago, called. The reason behind my restless night was Kenneth’s confession and Clyde. The latter seemed to have carved a space in my mind which is irritating. I need to find a way to end this stupid bond permanently. He will be someone else’s in the near future anyway. “Don’t worry. He is very amicable,” he replies, ceasing my thoughts as he cuts a perfect portion of the scrambled egg and puts it in his mouth like the perfect aristocrat that he is. “You say that. I
The Last Dragon's Mage ~Reawakening of Ryu~
[Clyde] Flying had always been an escapade for me, a kind of freedom that I was blessed with or rather cursed with. I had never been grateful even after mom preached and lectured me about my good luck of being able to summon my dragon whenever I wanted to, which hadn’t happened in the last 100 years. The Elders couldn’t summon their dragons more often, my parents couldn’t either but then I was born and when I first met my dragon, everyone was in awe that I could do so without them performing any summoning ritual. It had served as an escape later when I was subtly mocked and taunted by the children of my age, not outright, but I just knew. Even now, it’s acting as a way to clear my mind. But Fionna’s pained face and Valerie’s furious gaze keeps coming back. What mom said to Fionna was insensitive. She couldn’t even stop herself from tearing up this time. My nostrils flared at the thought. Valerie…I did not do the right thing. My emotions keep getting out of hand. It’s a good thing,
The Last Dragon's Mage ~A Dragon Lord's Apology~
[Valerie] Moran hands me a letter wordlessly the next morning when I am on my way to meet Rudra again. Elias is walking in front of us, hands buried in his trench coat pockets. I look at Moran questioningly. He shrugs. “Dragon Lord asked me to hand it to you. He said you are not to throw it until you have read its contents.” The mere mention of him makes my anger flare anew. His actions had hurt me and angered me in a way I had not imagined. “Like I care what he thinks,” I mutter blithely, stuffing the envelope in my jeans pocket, crumpling it a little in the process. “Going by the pink ears tips, yes you certainly do,” Moran says with a wink. I glare at him. “There’s nothing I need to be flustered about. I don’t really care and can we please stop talking about him.” Moran's playful look vanishes. The look is enough to warn me about his questions so I jog towards Elias, leaving him behind. The last day was mentally exhausting for me. I don’t want to ruin the day by talking abo

The Last Dragon's Mage ~Epilogue~
[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 ~Not Everything Stay Like The Way It Did~
[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
