“What!” The door opens and I find Mark standing at the foot of my bed. I groan and sit up. “Dude you’re late for the meeting with the elders.” I look at the clock and see that it is almost ten. Shit. “Whatever Mark, I’m the alpha. The meeting starts when I say it does.” “Really Derek.” “Don’t start with me Mark. I am going to shower and then I’ll be down for the meeting.” I head to my bathroom and shut the door before Mark can say another word. I take a quick shower and head downstairs. “Good morning everyone. I am sorry for my tardiness. Have travel arrangements been made with the other alphas?” I decide to jump right into before anyone starts asking me questions. “Yes. All alphas have been contacted and they are arranging gatherings for when you arrive. We will start with the flock in France, then the pride in Africa and lastly the bears in California,” says elder Richard. Well at least the bears are last. I enjoy their company and we have a few wolves there who mated with be
Davina 6 years later…… I did it, I finally did it. It took longer than I had originally anticipated and had to do everything online, but with raising kids and running a restaurant I learned to accept it would take longer. But here it is, in my hand, my bachelors degree in business from South Carolina University. I am beaming with pride and a bit of sadness. I wish my parents were here to celebrate this with me. Uncle Gabriel is walking towards me. I hope he doesn’t see my sad expression. He has sacrificed a lot moving to here and helping me with the kids and the restaurant. I truly have the best uncle. “What do you have there dear,” asks uncle Gabriel. “Oh nothing special just my degree in business,” I reply excitedly and show him the diploma. “Congratulations Davina! I’m so proud of you. We must get frame and hang it on the wall.” He gives me a hug with tears in his eyes. “I’m sure your parents are watching you and smiling with pride.” “Thank you uncle.” I am holding back tea
“What’s up with you?” “Nothing, shut it Mark.” I tell Nero to shut his trap so we can focus on what she is going to say. He whimpers but quiets down. Davina reaches our table and gives everyone waters and menus. The smell is even stronger and arousal immediately floods me. “Bite her,” says Nero. “Shut it Nero. I can’t bite her right now.” He whimpers at me. I remember from her picture that I thought she was pretty but damn. In person she is more beautiful. She has her gorgeous silver hair in a high pony tail with some hair dangling in her face. Her hazel eyes pop against the color of her olive brown skin. She seems to be in fit shape but still has curves for days. Mark elbows me again and I glare at him. “Is there anything else I can get you do drink? Daniela will be over shortly to take your order when you’re ready.” I continue to stare, unable to say a word. I reach for the water and accidentally brush her hand. I immediately feel sparks throughout my whole body, not helping my s
I sneak into Gabriel’s condo and watch Davina from the living room window. Gabriel’s condo is perfectly across from Davina’s. I know it’s creepy but I want to know more about her. I watch Davina cook her daughters dinner and they all sit at the small table eating and laughing together. They all are playing shoots and ladders after dinner. It seems as though they are enjoying the game. They then go into the what I am sure is the bathroom as the twins come out with wet hair. The girl’s room is not the bedroom that faced towards Gabriel’s apartment so I can’t see what they’re doing but I imagine Davina is getting the girls dressed and reading them a story before bed. At least that’s what I’ve always imagined my mate would do for our kids. Twenty minutes later she comes out of the bedroom and shuts their door. Davina starts cleaning up around the house. Putting the board game away, cleaning the dishes and sweeping the floor before going into her own room. I continue to watch as she sits
Davina I wake up at five in the morning like I always do. I reach under my bed for my prosthetic and grab the cover out of my drawer. The hospital was generous and made me two in case something happens to one of my legs. I never paid a single bill. Uncle said an anonymous donor paid for everything and I never found out who. I wake up the girls so they can get ready for school and I head into the kitchen to make their lunch. “That’s my shirt,” I can hear Malayah yell. “No it’s mine Malayah,” counters Maliyah. I sigh. “Y’all better figure it out or it’s going to be mine and neither one of you can have the shirt.” The girls tend to fight a lot and I am trying to let them learn to get through their arguments on their own, but sometimes I just had to intervene. It’s too early for the fighting to start. “Sorry mom,” they both say. I peak my head in their room to ensure they really are getting ready before heading to my room to get myself ready. I have to sit and take my prosthetic off
“Don’t grab a box that is too heavy Davina,” says my uncle as he heads inside. I roll my eyes. It annoys me when I am treated like I can’t do things like normal people. I grab the nearest box despite what my uncle said. It is heavier than I anticipated so move to adjust my weight but as I do I end up slipping and falling backwards with the box. I try preparing myself for the impact with the cement. I close my eyes, this is going to hurt. Instead of feeling cement I feel arms around me. I look up at who has caught me and it is Derek. “Are you okay,” he asks. He has me in a bridal carry with his right hand on my right shoulder and his left hand under my right thigh. My heart is beginning to race with fear and memories start flooding my mind. I stare at Derek and can’t find any words. He sets me down. “That could’ve been a nasty spill. Can I help?” He takes the box out of my hands, setting it back down. I still can’t say a word. He’s reaching towards my head and I flinch. “I’m sorry. It
Keila continues, “Davina remembers very clearly what Enzo did to her from start to finish. And it started with his hand on her right thigh. It’s a trigger spot and sometimes trigger spots for people can cause flashes of memory to resurface.” I hang my head in shame. I have hurt my mate by making her relive a horrible moment in her life. “Don’t feel bad Derek you didn’t know. And you still need to act as though you don’t know. I am only telling you this so you can ensure to not touch her there. Even if it’s to catch her from a nasty spill.” “Help me make it better. I don’t want her scared of me.” “I doubt she is scared of you but I’ll go see if she’ll talk to me.” Keila leaves and heads upstairs. Nero is trying to take over to follow Keila and Mark grabs hold of my wrist. “Down Nero, you’ll just make her shut everyone out more. Leave her be,” says Mark. He whimpers before retreating to the back of my mind. “Ugh…I take a step forward and I feel I just went backwards ten steps with he
Davina I am glad I called Michael and had that training session. I feel more confidant. I went to sleep easily last night and after waking up I feel like it’s the first time I’ve actually slept in six years. I had no dreams and no anxiety about going to sleep. I get out of bed to wake the kids for school and make their lunch. “You seem happy mama,” said Maliyah. “Well everything is perfect. I have two beautiful daughters and the restaurant is still going strong. I’m happy.” “Well then we’re happy too,” says Maliyah and Malayah nods in agreement. Malayah may have nodded yes but her facial expression tells me otherwise. “What is it Malayah?” “Will you ever tell us about our father?” My eyes go wide. I did not expect that question. Neither of the girls have asked about their father before. I put no one on their birth certificate and gave them the family name. I am not sure what to tell them. They’re too young to know the truth. “I will one day. I promise. When you’re older.” “
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
