I watch as she curls onto her side and cries, whilst I am temped to push the button again just because of her insolence. Can't she just understand that she is going nowhere? Why attack me when she knows she is powerless?
I growl in anger and kneel beside her, watching as tears fall from her eyes. "Learn quickly Little one, I don't like hurting you. But I will."
"please make it stop." She cries helplessly, clutching the silver around her neck.
I nod and turn of the shock, allowing her a moments rest. It's not like I enjoy hurting my mate, but I am doing what has to be done, we are the dragon kings and we must have her by our side, now that we've found her, letting her go can only mean trouble for her and us. She needs to stay alive and in our care. If our enemies knew what and who she was, they would take her from us.
"let's get some breakfast." I say, hoping she will calm down.
"ok." She sobs lightly, holding her arms out towards me.&nb
I woke up with dried tears on my cheeks, angrily rubbing them away as I sat up and opened my eyes, shocked to see I was in some strange room that I didn't recognise. Where had Maddox put me? Why had he put a silver collar around my neck knowing what it did to our kind? I sobbed dryly into my hands, terrified and alone, if they were supposed to be my mates why had they left me like this? Why were they treating me so cruelly.I looked around the room, the walls made of some kind of white padding and the bed made of the same things. Their was nothing else in the room except a toilet, making me more angry. What did they expect me to do? I wasn't going to let them torture me into submitting to them. They may be the dragon kings, but they couldn't just treat people like this, they couldn't treat me like this.I had done nothing wrong, I had done nothing to them expect by protecting myself, so why? I didn't want to be locked in this room for gods knows how long, letting them
"I hate you!" She sobs at me, clutching the collar as though it would ease her pain.I hadn't come with the intention of hurting her, but she had pushed my buttons and made me angry, I had never been very good at controlling my temper at the best of times, especially with those who weren't my chosen mates as the Dragon kings were. We were a sort of family, we had been together for centuries and we planned it to be that forever.she was nothing but a problem to us, a complication we didn't realise we needed, or wanted. But now she was here and we needed her, we all wanted to have our own children, but we couldn't give each other that. She can. She can give us what we want if she'd just cooperate. she doesn't understand that she is our only option, the only chance we may ever get for it.I quickly clean up the contents of the tray and storm out of the room, locking the door. I was supposed to try and get her to listen, but she
I tossed and turned on the bed, the silence of the padded room driving me crazy, making me think of all the things that I didn't want going through my head. All the times I have been used, all the times that I died but didn't stay dead. I know that the vampire lord still wants me, that's he's looking for me, and I couldn't do that to anyone. I couldn't put anyone in danger, I just wanted to leave, go home and pack up. Get out.yet, something inside me is telling me that it won't be that simple, they won't just let me leave out of the blue because I wasn't interested. That is why they locked me in this room.was it so hard to be able to go home? Why did they care so much that I agreed to be their mate? I didn't want a mate to begin with, let alone four of the most powerful shifters in the city. That wouldn't exactly keep me off the radar. I wanted more from life than running and hiding, but I didn't think I could get that here.
I walked up the stairs slowly, unable to hide my excitement at finally seeing Fraya, the others had spent time with her over the last few days since she got out of the padded room, but me? I was the one left to do all the work the others had been neglecting. I was over the moon that she had decided to give us a real chance, we deserved it after all, we wanted nothing more than to make her happy. We had been waiting for a female mate for centuries and now we had finally found her we weren't about to let her go, not for anything. I walk into the room we had given her, painting it a deep purple and adding the same colour drawers, beside table and bedding to the four poster bed. She loved it when we showed her, so hopefully it has been nice. She can have her own privacy, her own place to escape to. it even has its own bathroom for added comfort. We want her to be as happy as she can be here, escorcually since she has agreed to allow us near he
I wasn't sure about giving them a chance at first, I was so preoccupied with running that I never stopped to look around, I never allowed myself to see them for who they are and not just their title.the dragon kings aren't all bad, sure they are a bit scratchy around the edges, but I can't say I'm hating their company. The more I am with them, the more I want them in a intimate way, and that terrifies me. I've never wanted anyone this way before, not even in my late teenage years.Perhaps my pheonix and I were waiting for the right people, or dragons I should say. But how do I know they won't change once I accept them? I shouldn't allow myself to get too attatched too quickly. It's dangerous to fall in love.I follow Gabriel into the kitchen, excited to be baking, I didn't used to do it a lot because of how much ingredients cost, but I do love it. I'm not exactly a good cook, not by a long shot, but I can ba
I never took risks, never did anything that could jeopardise everything I am doing to survive, I spent my time working and then going home to my small one bed apartment, and even at work I took no risks, accepting a job in a back office; where I would see no one and no one to see me. you may be wondering why I take no risks, why live on take out and microwave meals, it's because I can't afford to be found, my parents did everything they could to hide me. To keep me out of the place I know is out there, to keep me away from the supernatural. Not because I wasn't one of them, but because I was the last of my kind. the last phoenix shifter. Many believe my kind is lost and perhaps we are, my parents were killed trying to protect me, because whilst they had phoenix blood they did not have any of the abilities that come with it. They were perfectly normal, and they were mine, my only family. The only people who I have ever been close to. I can regenerate, come back from the d
Whilst something in me told me to trust them, I knew that I couldn't, I knew that doing so could be my downfall. the one who was holding me against his chest was Kaelin, the most fierce of the dragon kings. yet he held me with such gentleness. Why? he was built large, with sharp facial features, and unkept brown hair, his eyes piercing my very soul. I wanted to scream, to jump out of the car and runaway. but I could already feel this way of the vehicle moving, and I knew I was already too late. I didn't know where they were taking me or what they wanted, but I already knew I would be found out. by the end of the day they would know what I was.They all wore black suits, each one smart and clean, How you do is known about the dragon kings, most powerful shifters in the city. you are either loyal to them, oryou were dead. they tended not to give people second chances, don't break the rules and you'll be fine. only I have broken them all, I kept myself
He placed me onto my feet and took a step back, moving to stand with Gabriel near the book shelf whilst I began drowning in my own panic, something was going on here that I didn’t know about and I didn’t feel comfortable telling them anything until I knew what they had planned for me.“Feel free to show us at anytime doll.” Maddox says firmly, no hint of kindness in his tone As he leans back in his chair.“Not until you tell me what’s going on, you were bringing me here long before I admitted what I was.” I growl, my tone just as harsh.Gabriel laughed, but it was a dry and humourless sound “So you do have some brain cells left after the crash.”“Yes plenty.” I snap, “but watch your tone Gabriel Cross, I don’t have to show you anything, I only told you to save my own skin. I can quite easily shift and leave.”&

I wake up in a unfamiliar bed, my muscles stiff and sore from the forced shift I had to endure once I lost my temper, I wanted to make it home last night. Though it looks like I spent the entire time here, under the roof of the dragon kings. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew I had to leave, I didn’t care that I was their mate, I didn’t want them, I didn’t need a mate and I was certain I could manage without one. I guess I had some trust issues due to my past, yet that didn’t change how I felt, I wanted nothing to do with the men I knew were waiting for me down stairs. Even if they called to parts of me that I had long since trampled down, ignoring them more than anything else.I didn’t want to be tied down, but I knew they would disagree with me, I had tried to reject them but they had stopped me, I had to find a way of doing it so that they can all hear me. I know that they are dragon shifters and they they only mate o
I walk her up two flights of stairs to my personal room, the young Phoenix shifter fast asleep in my arms, as naked as the day she was born, but she was Absolutely perfect, from the freckle on a hip to the small spot that appeared on her forehead. I would be proud to call her mine, but something tells me she doesn't feel the way that we do, that she doesn't know what the bond is. whilst I have no problem teaching her, I'm not sure the others would feel the same way they have never been as patient as I am. I know that most of them decided a long time ago that they didn't want to Mate, Leaving me with the task of trying to convince them.I wish they would see it as I do, she is a gift sent was from the gods, a perfect firebird, to match our fiery moods, perhaps she could put a few of us in our place. I could already tell that she had spirit, though there was something very deep within her, and I could tell she had a troubled past. someone is harmed our little phoenix and I want
I could have I believe that the moment I saw her, with her red hair and amber eyes, she was barely 5 foot 4 and yet she had so much fight in her. I wouldn't put it past her to take us all on, if she was given the chance, she seems so strong, even now as her skin glows with fury, I'm pleased that she is mine. that she is all of ours.I couldn't wait to see her other form, to see just how strong she was, it excited me. Her name is like a song to my ears and whilst I was mad at Maddox, I knew why he had found that fireball, I would have done the same if my reaction time was just as fast. we didn't want her to reject us, we wanted her to be with us, we wanted our mate.It was Silas who spoke, his voice cold and harsh, though I agreed with him. “Don’t every try that again, Fraya. We don’t take reflection lightly.”“You can stuff your feelings where the sun doesn’t shine!” She shouts, her skin darkening wit
