2022-05-16 17:00:48Before I land the blow, I force myself to avoid hitting Max by twisting my body. Hafgan was right about one thing and that was I did not wish to bring harm upon Max, no matter the cost. I gasp as I hit my hand against the closest thing that wasn’t Max; a lamppost. Had I been a human, that would have been far more painful.
“W-what are you thinking!?” Max asks in an accusatory tone. “I scold you, so now you want to hit me?!”
I look right at him and frown. “You don’t know, do you?” I ask, and it is clear from his expression that Max does not know Hafgan has possessed him. Or at the very least, he does not know what happens when Hafgan is the one in control.
“Know what!?” Max demands, his glare cutting me down into pieces as easily as any sword. The worst thing about all of this is that he wouldn’t believe me, even if I told him the truth.
I grit my teeth and close my eyes, trying to calm mysel

The night alone felt long compared to the previous night when I had slept next to Max. I woke up feeling disoriented and unimpressed with how much one night with the man had changed me somehow. Whatever the reason, my body yearned to be next to his.I stepped into the living room, where Max was already up and about. Or I assumed it was him. I couldn’t be completely sure, as there was no way to distinguish the two of them. I just had to take my chances.“Are you still mad at me?” I questioned who I hoped was Max.As soon as he turned to look at me, I let out a sigh before lowering my head an inch and growling. It was Hafgan, and he was smirking at me widely as if to mock me.“I was correct in my assessment,” Hafgan smugly claimed as he spread his hands out wide in a dramatic pose. “You won’t hurt this body for fear of upsetting the host. It really is the perfect body for me

Watching Max eat, I stay silent. He has been so pissed off with me, but there honestly isn’t anything I can do about this. He will not fight me, and nor does he believe me that Hafgan possessed him. I’m not sure what else I can do.“You’re hiding things,” Max mutters after finishing the last mouthful. “Just spit it out.”I offer a wry smile. “Nothing so worrisome,” I tried to assure him. The look Max gives me does not tell me he believes me. “You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you,” I add, but that glare does not fade. I sigh and collect the dishes and mutter, “if you battled me, everything would fix itself… but you’re too stubborn, so can we drop it?”“You’re the stubborn one!” Max raises his voice at me. “That’s all you want! Fighting and sex! Don’t you dragons ever think of anything else!?”I blink at him and then look up in exasperation. Of course, we think of things outside of those two. There is just not much I can talk about that Max would understand or care about. Still, I

When we get back home, Max seems in a much better mood than he had been earlier. I’m glad because he is a joy to be around when he is in a good mood. Keeping him in a pleasant mood is going to be more complicated now with Hafgan in the picture.Max takes out a bottle of wine from his cupboard and hands me a glass. Although I have not tried this particular wine, I know exactly what it is. If he wants to share a drink tonight, then I am not against the notion.He is more honest with me after he has had some alcoholic courage, and this afternoon is no different. It doesn’t take either of us long to finish the bottle, then another. I’m sure he would have helped himself to another, but my fear of Hafgan taking over during this moment keeps me from allowing Max to get completely wasted.I’ve quickly learned Max’s tolerance isn’t all that good. Tonight is no different. He climbs onto my lap and pushes me against the couch by the shoulders. First, he seems to want nothing more than to snuggle
Last Updated : 2022-06-01Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Feels Right
Sleeping next to Max again last night felt right. I had never felt this way before about someone, even after having so many mates before. It’s almost as though he belongs to me, and not just as a temporary lover.Though that’s all this is to him. I can’t deny that it makes me feel a little sad, but it’s not as though I can take him with me when it is time for me to return home.I lean into him, my arms wrapped around him to soak in his cool skin. I hope he stays asleep like this for a little longer, just so that I can enjoy this while it lasts.Placing feathery kisses along his shoulder and neck, I can’t help but take full advantage of him being next to me. I’m sure when he wakes up, he’ll complain, but for now, I’ll enjoy myself.I pause as soon as I notice he has stirred slightly. I don’t want him to wake up yet, so I let him settle back down into sleep. He rolls onto his back, exposing his chest. Wi

“So, you two are getting touchy again,” Hafgan taunted me as he stood on the couch. Pointing at me, he makes a mocking face, and says, “a fire dragon getting it on with one of mine is hilarious!” I snarl at him while I back off, away from the couch. He just had to take over now, while I was getting Max in the mood. I was getting close to having him agree to go all the way with me. “He may be a very distant relation to you, but that is all he is. Max is nothing like you, Hafgan. Why don’t you just give up and battle me, rather than taunt me like a coward?” I shoot back at him. I hate this soul so damned much, but he never listens to me. Any other soul would obey me without question. He is the only one that refuses to do as I ask. I wonder if my father had this issue with him too? Though I have a feeling Hafgan would battle my father, no problem. “Aww, is the baby dragon getting all huffy?” Hafgan continues to taunt me. “He’s of my blood, and not yours to have,” he then says, his to

Another week passes by and Hafgan has been testing my patience lately. This time, he took over while Max was at work and I got a phone call asking if he had come home or if there was a family issue. I almost had a heart attack, wondering what might have happened to him. I don’t know what Hafgan has been planning, but finding him wandering lost in the city made me realise he hasn’t got a clue where he is, even if he has control of Max’s body. Memories are hard things to see, even if you are the owner of such memories. I feel sorry for Max. Every time he wakes up, he is somewhere different. At home, these things are slight and can be brushed off, but this time? It is harder to pretend nothing is wrong. Even now, I can’t explain why he is here so far from where he was when he last had control of his body. As we walk back to the apartment in silence, I ring his workplace, explaining Max feels unwell, and that he’ll take the rest of the day off. He remains silent behind me. Whatever he

While I’m not sure what has gotten into Max lately, I can’t say I am disappointed with his request to have sex with me. The only thing I worry about is Hafgan interrupting us during it. That would be the worst timing for me. Though I don’t think he wants to get involved in such acts, so perhaps he’ll stay quiet.Max looks anxious as he slides my shirt off. I’m not sure if he wants to go through with this, or if he is forcing himself. I look aside for a moment to think things through, before asking, “are you sure you’re ready for this? We don’t have to if you’re not ready?”“Even if you really want to?” Max asks, looking me in the eye.I nod my head slowly. “Even if I really want to, I’ll never force you into something you do not want or are not ready for, so,” I say, but before I can finish my words, his lips find mine.Leaning into his kiss, I can’t help but p
Last Updated : 2022-06-13Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Fourth times the Charm
It was no joke thinking Max would want me to go faster, but harder and more than once, too? I lay on my back, completely spent. I’ve never gone more than once with someone before now. Something like this is beyond my expectations, especially for a mortal.“I… didn’t know sex felt so good,” Max sighs happily next to me. He is curled up, clinging to me, but even his icy touch isn’t helping keep me cool.Glancing at him, I can’t help but smile. He stopped being so hesitant as soon as he accepted everything. I probably created a monster, but a monster I’ll enjoy until I am forced to return home. I just hope I can save him from Hafgan sooner rather than later.Rubbing the back of his head with my hand, I chuckle softly. “Sex feels good for all involved, and with me, it’ll never hurt. You can be as wild as your heart desires,” I reply, trying to tease him.Despite the flush that spreads over his

Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride The Last Chapter
With lips interlocked, I felt Max’s legs lock around my hips as I slammed hard into him again and again. Last night’s round hadn’t been enough for him, and I was happy to oblige his mood for more. With his stamina, I knew he wouldn’t settle down until I had completely satisfied him. Another moan escaped from his mouth into mine as I felt his fingers tighten in my hair. He was near the edge of his limits again, and so was I. With a few more thrusts deep inside of Max, I felt him tense around my shaft for a moment before a louder moan escaped from him. With his panting and the warmness now against my skin, I knew he had cum. I offered him one more kiss, which he greedily accepted. With him completely in the moment, I thrust in and out of him a few more times before finding my successive release. As I rolled onto my side, I closed my eyes and breathed in heavily. I was exhausted, and all I could wonder was how did Max have so much stamina? I soon felt a warm and cold tingle against my
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Honeymoon Bonding Ritual
Gazing around the hotel, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat nostalgic about being back in the mortal world. We only had the weekend before our time ran out. There were too many royal duties to take care of, and for only so long, I could leave Harri in charge. Though he wasn’t entirely alone. My father had agreed to act as his advisor.While he wasn’t sure about Harri, he saw no reason to spark up the old rivalry he and Hafgan had once shared. He merely felt it was best to make sure Harri had someone to help him if he needed it.“Are you thinking about home again?” Max said, catching me in my thoughts and calling me out on them. He smirked and shook his head. “They’ll be fine,” he added and ushered me further into the hotel.The mortal realm seemed no different. The slight imbalance had done no lasting damage to how things worked. In fact, the humans had not even noticed any differences, and still did not know about the supernatural beings that shared their space.It was so safe that I
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Wedding befitting Royalty
As I wait at the royal altar, I gaze over at all the different people standing at the pews. Although I would have not minded making this a small wedding, my father and mother both handled everything. From the location, to how close to old customs we went and to the dress code.To my surprise, even the phoenixes had come to see me marry Max. Thankfully, nothing had gone haywire between our three groups and we were now on decent terms. I wouldn’t say we were friendly, exactly, but everyone was slowly coming around.Harri stood next to me. He looked more nervous than I was, yet I was the one being married. Anything could happen, or could go wrong, someone might have an objection to the union, or someone might try assassinating someone. There were so many variables that could go wrong.As the organs started playing, my heart pounded rapidly against my chest. This was actually it. I had waited so long for this moment, and now it was here.There have been times I thought I would never get m
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Royal Discussion
I never thought this day would come. I could feel the wave of emotions drown me as the tailor forced me to stand perfectly still while they dressed me for the occasion. All that was now left were the last few preparations, but it seemed like it was taking forever to get them all done.Harri was in the room with me so that the tailor could do the last few adjustments on his clothes, too. He was utterly silent, despite how joyous the occasion was. I tried to reach out to him through my mind, but he shut me out easily. Ever since he and Max had reached maturity, he had become much more standoffish with me.Once the tailor had finished, I ordered them out of the room so that I could speak with Harri privately. If he didn’t want to converse through our minds, then perhaps the issue was something that could only be handled with no one else around.I glanced at the door briefly. We had a little time before we needed to go, so if I was to find out what the issue was, then it had to be now. Tu
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Confessions
As soon as I stepped through the portal, I spotted Max being swarmed by those who had tried to help us before. I wasn’t sure how they would feel about Max being almost as old now as he had been when he had ‘died’. The last they had seen him, he was nothing but an egg. Yet time hadn’t been so long for them. Zach and Rem’s daughter was still relatively young in comparison. However, she was walking now, at least. She was bright-eyed and full of wonder and if I didn’t know any better, I wouldn’t have known she was a born Spirit. I wondered what her future would be, but with how safe things seemed, I was sure she had a bright life ahead of her. “I can’t believe how big he has gotten already,” Zach said as our group showed Max around various locations around Cardiff to see if any of them sparked any memories of his. “Loona has skyrocketed, but she is only slightly above human average,” he added as he pushed her along in the pram. She might have been old enough to walk, but
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Max and Harri
It had taken me most of the night to get the message across to the group I had planned to meet us. When I had finished, I went to bed, not knowing how long Max would give me before he decided he had waited long enough. I must have been in such a deep sleep when Max showed up, as I didn’t hear him enter my bedroom. It wasn’t until I heard some faint whispering in my ear that I knew anyone was there. My eyes snapped open while my body went into fight-or-flight mode. Had I not realised who it was, I know I would have lashed out. “S-sorry,” Max softly apologised. “I called your name outside several times, King Arwen, but you were still fast asleep.” With a long sigh, I shook my head. “It’s fine, just be careful, Max,” I replied and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. “It took a little while to get our guides to agree to our visit, so I was awake late.” Max nodded slowly. As I sat up in bed, he twisted around so that he couldn’t see my half-naked body. I rarely
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Growing Up
With time working differently here than on Earth, it felt like no time had passed at all since Max and Hafgan, who we had renamed Harri, had grown up. I had spent as much time with them as my duties had allowed, and trained them in the ways of dragon-kind, along with Healing-Frost. She had been a wonderful surrogate mother for the twins, and with her on my side, the other ice dragons seemed more at ease and followed her suggestions to work together towards peace. I couldn’t have asked for a better helper than her. Thankfully, Harri had never questioned his new name or brought up any memories from his past life as Hafgan. Both me and Healing-Frost had been keeping a close watch on him and his mind, just to be certain. I wasn’t sure if the phoenix had planned for the two souls to be split into twins, or for Harri to not have his memories, but I was thankful. Harri had his own body once more and had no drive to forcefully take the throne, and that was all that m
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride And it is...
A little over a month later…My feet pound on the stone floor as I make haste towards the hatchery. I can’t believe it is finally time. I thought the egg would never hatch, but now it was finally time. My days have been filled with wondering when this day would finally come.As I entered the hatchery, my feet skidded across the ground until I found my balance again. Most of our eggs have hatched now, but Max’s egg was finally ready. I stared at the door to the cold room. I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I could handle what might be a disappointment if who hatched was not Max at all.Shaking my head, I knew I couldn’t wait any longer. I absolutely must find out who it was that had been reborn. So far, no one could sense the one inside of the egg. It was agony not knowing, but I busied myself with my duties.Opening the door, I felt the coldness hit me. It was like a freezer in here, and only Healing-Frost and the egg could ha
