“What is it Thierry?” He looks at me with confusion and then looks back at the parchment thinking he missed something. “Dimitri, it’s my family. My family has the lycan gene.” “Does the book say how to tell who has the gene or if it’s all of you and your children?” He is really getting excited. This is the closest we’ve ever come to figuring out who has the gene. “I don’t know. I didn’t get that far in the book. Give me a second.” I grab the book and read further to see if it says anything else about it. “From what the book says, the person with the gene will not know they have it until an event to trigger it happens. I would say we all have the gene and it has to be triggered.“ “Does it say how to trigger it?” “It says in times of danger or great loss. Their life has to be seriously threatened and almost to the brink of death for the gene to trigger or someone close to that person dies and not just of old age, a horrific death. I don’t like either of those.” I don’t want any o
Derek The next morning my eyes feel like sandpaper with the little sleep I got. I stayed up way too late studying up on the dragons. I have a feeling dad is going to try and quiz me to ensure I actually read the book. My alarm goes off at six in the morning. I groan, wanting to throw the damn thing to shut it up. I drag myself out of bed and take a cold shower to help wake me up. After showering and getting dressed I head downstairs to the kitchen to grab some breakfast before having to meet dad in the office. Miss Kat, our cook, always makes the best food. She already has my usual out french toast, eggs over easy and a mountain of crispy bacon. My stomach is growling, demanding food. “Thanks Miss Kat. As usual you’re the best,” I tell her. “No problem dear,” she says with a smile. Miss Kat is like a grandmother to everyone at the estate and treats everyone as if they are her grandchildren. She makes sure no one misses a meal and everyone takes their breaks. After eating my food I
My head is spinning from all the information dad has just thrown at us and he hasn’t even touch on any of the battles yet. Shifters tend to be quite loyal so why did so many abandon their families? It makes no sense. I wonder if they are being tricked by a lie. Or they are greedy and somehow someone discovered how to extend their life when killing a silver dragon. I have so many ideas and questions running through my head. I snap my attention back to dad’s lesson, I need to keep up. “The second silver dragon was killed three months after the first along with four other dragons. Not only were silver dragons coming up dead but now other dragons were dying. We didn’t know if it was because they were present when the silver dragon was attacked or because of a whole different reason. There were originally ten silver dragons alive at the time and now we had eight. Fairy’s were concerned but did not get involved. They are not warriors and they were using their magic to protect the creatures
“When the time comes to tell Davina about the magical world how are you suppose to break that kind of news to her. Say ‘hey guess what you’re a dragon and your biological parents and brother were murdered oh and you’re the last of your kind and we all rely on your survival’.” My sarcasm and anger are coming out but I don’t like that Davina is in the dark and there is no nice way of breaking that kind of news to someone. “Trust me Derek. We know this is life changing news and we don’t know how she will react to it. The best we can do is be there for her because she will either transform into a dragon and freak out or we can tell her first before she transforms. Either way it will be a shock for her and there is nothing we can do about that except be there for her. Her powers are driven by emotion. If she loses control she can accidentally kill someone. She’ll need help to stay calm. You are right it is going to a huge burden on her knowing a lot of people rely on her survival. It is o
I lock up and head home around eight. As I get to the Jeep I have this weird feeling someone is watching me and I look down the ally way. I don’t see anything but the hair on my neck is standing up. I quickly get in the Jeep and lock the doors. I turn on the KC lights and point them down the ally. Still nothing. I let it go and head home. On the drive home I swear the car behind me is following me until it turns down a street not far from home. I am definitely getting paranoid. When I get home I see my parents have settled on the couch to watch a movie, The Notebook for the thousandth time. I giggle. I say a quick goodnight to my parents and decide to head upstairs to read a book. I get to my room, put my bag by my desk and go to my closet to retrieve my pajamas. I do my nightly routine. I brush my teeth, floss and wash my face. I climb into bed and pull out The Witcher book I have been reading. I must have fallen asleep quickly as I start having a weird dream about dragons. There a
Derek It is agony waiting for any sort of word on what is happening at the Ortiz residence. I keep pacing in my room, checking my phone every few seconds. “Dude stop pacing. We will know something when we know something,” says Owen. I know he is just as worried as I am. His mother is one of the warriors that was called to the house. I stop pacing and sit on my bed. It is almost eleven and still no word. “I am about to march myself over there damn it. I don’t care how mad dad gets at me,” I say with frustration. I then hear the front door swing open and people are yelling. “The warriors are back,” Keila says as she barges into my room. I run downstairs to see what has happened. Dr. Ase is yelling out orders as wolves are being carried to one of the larger rooms in the house. There are several injured wolves. They would heal in time but some appear to need stitches while they heal. There are several warlocks and witches also injured and assisting Dr. Ase healing the others. I look
“So where is Davina,” I ask Shaun. He hangs his head. “I’m sorry we failed. They escaped by teleporting. The shifters that didn’t make it to a warlock or witch are being hunted as we speak, but they took her. She‘s gone,” he says. Gabriel Ortiz slams his fist on the table in frustration. “Easy Gabriel” says Dimitri, the high warlock. “We will find her.” “It is just as much my fault she is gone. I couldn’t protect her and I was there. I should have been able to protect her.” “You were outnumbered and knocked unconscious Gabriel. Don’t blame yourself. You are strong but even you have your limits. You are lucky they didn’t kill you,” Dimitri tries reassuring Gabriel. “How are we going to find her,” I ask. “Gabriel will be able to track the seal that is on her. Since he is blood related to Daniel he will be able to find her easier than another warlock. Those who cast the seal have a stronger connection,” replies Dimitri. He does’t finish the sentence. We all know what he means. Onl
Derek Two days later the wolves have fully healed, as well as the warlocks and witches. Mark has started gathering the warriors of the pack to prepare for the rescue mission. Owen is on phone ensuring humans will not interfere with our plans. Everyone is working hard to make sure this will not fail. We can’t fail twice. We don’t know how much time we have before the rogues will decide to kill Davina. Nor do we know what they are doing to her. It is bugging me why they hadn’t killed her right away. Why hadn’t they just gotten it over with? “What’s on your mind young alpha,” Dimitri asks. “I’m trying to figure out why Davina wasn’t immediately killed. It doesn’t make any sense to kidnap her,” I reply. “You have good senses Derek. You’re right, it doesn’t make sense,” he says. “Any theories,” I ask. “I have one. I believe there is a silver dragon out there wanting to absorb her powers. Which means there was another traitor among the group fifteen years ago besides your uncle,” Di
Thank you for pushing through and finishing book 1. Please let me know what you think! Book 2, Family Secrets is where I will publish any and all sequels. I am in the process of changing the title name to just The Silver Dragon Series. I plan for there to be a total of 6 books. Books 1, which you just read, through 3 will be Davina and Derek's journey to defeat those after her so she can live in peace. Book 4 will follow her daughter Maliyah, Book 5 will follow her twins and book 6 will follow her last child. Please let me know what y'all think of the story and show your support with those gems. Take a look at my other books: The Blood Red Wolf. I have finished the whole book and 2 chapters are scheduled to be released every Mon/Wed/Fri. The last chapter will be released end of September. The Alpha's Tribrid. First book is complete with chapters being released Mon/Fri. I will post book 2 of The Alpha's Tribrid there so it's easier to find. I have more stories floating around
Derek As soon as we touch down on the runway we both unbuckle our seat belts and rush out the door as soon as it’s opened. There are two cars waiting for as I instructed. One to wait for our luggage and another to immediately take us home. I order my wolf to speed home. Davina hasn’t spoken a word since we left. I can tell she has been trying to communicate with Malayah with no luck. I have been practicing using my telepathy as well but haven’t been able to get through either. It’s weird being able to do that in my human form. I try communicating with Mark. “Mark can you hear me?” “Derek?” “Yes it’s me.” “How are you doing that?” “I’ll explain later. Any leads?” “No, she vanished. There is a package here for Davina though. It’s spelled shut. I think only Davina can open it.” “We will be there in ten minutes. Meet us in the conference room. Have mom keep the kids busy.” “Will do bro. See you soon.” The connections ends and I look at Davina. She is still concentrating. “Davina
“They look like they are having a lot of fun,” I giggle. There is a picture of Owen with glitter in his hair.“My mother sent me this yesterday. They are doing fine.” The pictures ease my anxiety and a server brings out our dessert. A simple cheese cake. I love cheese cake. This is truly the best evening and it’s only day one. Derek’s phone rings and he rolls his eyes silencing it.“Shouldn’t you take that?”“Whatever is going on I left plenty of people in charge to handle business matters. You have my attention this whole trip.” I smile as the phone rings again.“Derek just answer it.” He looks down at the phone and frowns.“What is it?” He answers the phone without answering my question.“What’s wrong mother?” Calista wouldn’t call unless something happened. My heart begins to race. I shouldn’t have left my children. “Call detective O’Neil, we are on our way.” He hangs up the phone and dials another number. “Jack get our plane ready we are heading home immediately. I look at Derek w
“Don’t panic love. Just calmly swim back to the boat.” I go to turn around are there are some blacktip reef sharks between us and the boat.“Derek?”“It’s okay, they won’t bother you. Plus you are a dragon that controls water. Just move them with your water powers.” I concentrate and make a water current that pushes the sharks further away so I can swim to the boat. I turn and I see the hammerhead next to Derek. Derek is remaining as still as possible but he needs air. I use my water powers to push the hammerhead away from Derek but the sharks tail hits Derek in the head causing his snorkeling gear to get knocked of this head. Derek is knocked further towards the sea floor, doing a few somersaults. “Shit!”“Derek are you okay?” He looks around confused for a second. He doesn’t look to be holding his breathe. “Davina, I’m breathing.”“What? How?”“I think we should head back early and call Dimitri. This is too weird.”“I agree.” We decide to head back to the boat and ask Hank to take
DerekWhen we begin to descend I wake up Davina. It’s about eight in the morning in South Carolina but here in Bora Bora it is two in the morning. But I am not tired and have other plans for the rest of the night with her. “Where are we? How long did I sleep.”“Look out the window love.” I know she won’t be able to see anything.“Umm..it’s dark out. I can’t see anything.” I chuckle at her. The steward asks us to fasten our seatbelts. We touch down and begin exiting the plane. It’s definitely warm out tonight. “Where are we?”“Welcome to Bora Bora love,” I whisper in her ear. She looks at me and smiles. “Really?”“Yep and I am glad you napped on the flight. I have other plans tonight.” I can see a fire in her eyes and she wants the same. I lead her to our private hut. Our luggage has already been brought to the room so there is no one to disturb us. “I’ll need a few minutes in the bathroom,” says Davina as she takes her suitcase into the bathroom and locks the door. What is that wom
“Derek, my wolf, my best friend, father of my children. When you walked into my restaurant for the very first time I felt this pull towards you. I couldn’t explain it but I felt safe when you were around. You were so patient with me and so kind moving our relationship at my pace. You made me feel confident to face the world and move past my fears. I am not the same girl I was a year ago and I have you to thank for that. You not only accepted me for me and my past but you also accepted my daughters. I couldn’t ask for a better father for my children. It’s a shame it did take you so long,” she laughs and so do I and the crowd. “I promise you my undying loyalty and love. I will stand by your side and love you forever even after I die.”“The rings,” says Dimitri. I turn to Mark and he hands me the rings. “Derek, do you take Davina to be your wife, to live together in holy matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to cherish her, to comfort her, and to keep her in sickness and in health, forsa
Derek I am super annoyed I got kicked out of my own room again. I haven’t seen Davina all day. I almost made it to the nursery to see her and the kids but Mark stopped me. I could smell Davina as she left the nursery for our bedroom. I can hear the girls chatting and laughing while they are getting pampered. I’m glad I rented the spa chairs. It sounds like they’re all having a good time. I’ve been rocking both the twins for quite some time before Mark walks in. “We gotta get you ready bro, guests are starting to arrive.” I sigh, not wanting to put my babies down. “Will you take Thierry and put him in his crib.” Mark walks over and takes Thierry. I stand and put Accalia in her crib. They’re both fast asleep. I check on Braydon who is also sleeping. Miss Kat and her niece were kind enough to volunteer to watch the twins while everyone else is at the wedding. “Being a father looks good on you Derek, but if I don’t drag you out of here your bride will be down the aisle before you,” he
DavinaThe day has finally arrived. We pushed the date again to March 25th but it’s finally arrived. I will be Mrs. Brooks by the end of the day. Calista and Keila forced Derek to stay in one of the rooms on the second floor. He wasn’t too happy about that. Everyone in the wedding stayed at the estate last night. We set up an extra crib in the nursery for Braydon.Keila is up early with me. We are having coffee and feeding the little ones. Malayah has been more compliant so we had my uncle seal the windows and outside doors so she can’t leave the house. This way she can at least leave her room. She’s helping me feed Thierry while I feed Accalia. I really wish this was truly her. Keila and I both snap our heads to the door. We can hear Derek arguing with Mark and we both laugh.“Mark at least let me see my kids. I’m not banned from seeing them before the wedding.”“No can do bro, Davina is in there right now.” I can’t help but laugh. “Keila I’m going to go shower. Let Mark know he can
DavinaBoth Derek and I snap our heads towards the door when we hear yelling. Derek rushes to open the door and finds Malayah’s guards about to knock on the door.“What is it? Where is Malayah?”“Alpha I’m sorry. Malayah went to the library to read. She jumped out the window and took off. We have wolves on her trail but she has quite the head start.”“Damn it!” “Derek we need to get to her before he does,” I say. “Davina please stay with the children, I don’t want to leave them unprotected in case this is a diversion. I want you and Maliyah in the nursery. I’ll have guards outside the window, in the room with you and outside the door.” Derek takes out his phone and dials a number.“Gabriel please come back to the estate.” He hangs up and uncle Gabriel appears.“What’s going on?”“I need you to go with Davina and Malayah into the nursery and seal it shut. No one gets in or out until I return. Malayah gave the guards the slip and ran off. I’ll deal with you two later, go find her,” he
