Iris couldn't breathe. This difficulty with breathing was the thing that woke her up. She felt like a huge weight had been put to pressurize her chest and inhibit her breathing. It was too much and she was suffocating. She opened her eyes to the glistening skin of a man in morning sunlight filtering through the wall-sized glass window. That is when the familiar intoxicating scent hit her. Yesterday's events that led her to sleep in Dom's bed, wrapped in his arms, ran through her head. After everything that happened, it was the current circumstances that made heat rise to her cheeks. That is when she realized it was his buff arm wrapped around her that was making it hard for her to breathe. For a second, till realization, the view was so naughtily mesmerizing, that she forgot to breathe and fantasized about waking up to this scenery every day. She tried to move his arm or at least shift a bit so she could breathe. She decided to lie in bed, enveloped in her mate's scent and strong pr

Iris found herself holding a fancy golden card that a pretty little girl of possibly ten had randomly given her. It read, 'Noon, today, East wing gates. Wear something comfortable. Don't be late!' '~Only Yours, Dom.' And that is how Iris found herself wearing a lovely light green flowy silk dress with palm trees printed on it, a low-cut neckline, and off-shoulder bows. She matched a pair of comfortable green sandals that complemented her sea-green nail polish. She wore tear-drop earrings and tied her hair in a loose comfortable braid that barely made it to her shoulders because of the new haircut she had had before her engagement. She stood waiting before twelve sharp at the assigned gate proudly showing off her shining engagement ring and some natural makeup that focused the gaze of observers on her plump lips. Cue exact noon and a Lamborghini Huracán stopped right in front of her and the driver's window rolled down to reveal her gorgeous mate, in a beach shirt with the upper few

The blissful weekend had resumed after a delicious lunch. Iris was simply feeling euphoric at the new-found freedom. The weather was mild, perfect for a barefoot walk on not-so-hot-sand along the beach. They walked slowly as Iris closed her eyes when the cool brine reached her ankles. Dom stood watching his mate, he couldn't help himself but stand bewitched by his lovely mate. Every time he looked at her, the need to save her from her evil brother increased. He knew that he was ready to go to war for this woman, whom he was once ready to reject without knowing. That guilt still stung his heart, but he didn't let it ruin the perfect moment. The cool sea breeze teased them as they felt rejuvenated by the change of pace of the recent days. Iris had a soft smile on her lips as Dom went behind her and wrapped her in his muscular arms. They both sighed in the bliss of the moment, needing to stay there for eternity. Finally, Dom nudged her towards the beach where a blanket had been laid fo

"Hello, Alfonso! Did you really believe you had won?" Waai mocked in the video playing on the Android screen. The moment they had brought magically asleep Iris, back into the castle and rested her peacefully in Dom's chambers, he made a beeline to Y's dungeon, only to find a smartphone nestled on a bloody velvet cushion where starving Y was supposed to be. It was this android that had been playing the current video for the past hour as Dom clenched and unclenched his fists, exhaling smoke through his human nostrils and on the thin line of crossing the limit of control. The facts were clear, Y had escaped, and he had inside help, so that meant they had traitors in their midst. How had such important things escaped him or any of his men? The castle was a fortified place of security and protection that they had all called home for so long. How did a werewolf plant spies in here? How did they survive without anyone noticing and for how long? The arrogantly smiling face of Y in the video

The majestic dragon flew marvelously above the clouds, out of sight of ground dwellers, over the lakes and rivers, villages and cities, plains and fields, hills and mountains. Dom hadn't stopped to rest even once, since he had left his castle yesterday after giving the order about Immunity protocol. He was getting tired but his rage and need for a solution hadn't subsided. The weather was rainy most of the day, so it was a safe journey. Dom flapped his magnificent wings and flew ahead towards the mountains hidden in the ranges. His anger was a little in control, but the feeling of his unconscious mate in his arms and her look as she lay limp on his bed was still haunting him. That was not how he wanted her in his bed when they had discussed her staying in the morning. He had a plan. He just wasn't sure if it was going to work. He desperately needed it to work through. His life, his Iris' life, and their life together depended on him succeeding. He flew until his wings ached, but kep

The flight back home was tiring and tedious and full of anxiety, but his father's presence beside him gave Dom a new form of energy boost that he had started to lose. Elder McBlaze was finding flight harder after all those centuries of sleeping like stones, which is why their way back took them three days rather than two due to Dom's earlier desperate speed. The news upon their arrival was not what either of them could have expected to hear at all. Elder McBlaze realized the matters were more dire than either of them could have predicted, but Dom felt unhinged, on the verge of exploding. Instead of how Lady Marie wanted to say it, a frantic Freddie broke it to the arriving party, that when Dom was gone, on his fourth day of absence, Iris was kidnapped! No one could understand how a person could be kidnapped from such a highly fortified castle under so many watchful eyes. On one side, there was excitement throughout the castle at the return of the sleeping predecessor, ex-Alpha of th

>> The Oakwood table was gone. In its place was a well-built beechwood table, not as big but doing the job just fine. Dom sat at the head of the table and the rest of the family members took their places just like they had on the night Iris had her first dinner with them. Elijah took Iris' seat in the meantime. Dom sat with his chin on his hands with intertwined fingers, elbows on the table, waiting patiently for everyone to be seated and silent before he started, "You all know why we are here. Iris, my fated mate, was first poisoned and then kidnapped behind my back, under all your noses. You failed to protect your Alpha Queen. It doesn't matter if you are a traitor or not, Iris is in the hands of the one person who hates her the most on this planet. And I am going to devise a plan to g

The plan was simple and effective with the least possible risks and chances of casualties. Dom had decided to lead the extraction team because if he couldn't put his life on the line for his mate, how could he expect his family members to do so? He decided to keep the company small so it is undetectable, only including Freddie, Gideon, Nathaniel (Clara's husband and delta of the family), Clara, and Lily (to be someone on the outside, ready for the take-off once the job is done.) Lily might not be a very strong dragon-shifter because of their mother's human state while conceiving and birthing her, but she was still a smart girl with many other amazing points to her personality. She may be a little unhinged sometimes due to the imbalance between her dragon and herself, but her brother valued her opinion and trusted her with his life and that of his mate. That is why when she volunteered, despite some protests from family members, Dom allowed her to be a part of the extraction team. N

Marie had wanted to be the first one to see the Sun on the first day of the year. She had convinced her parents to fly her to the East coast of Japan to stand on the highest point and catch the first rays of the first Sun of the year. They had reached there a day earlier, and Marie was determined to stay awake the whole night, countdown to midnight, and then watch the sunrise before sleeping. Iris was sure she wouldn't make it past ten, but she still promised her daughter not to force her bedtime and in case she does fall asleep, to wake her up before midnight and sunrise. * Dom walked from behind Iris, who was leaning slightly on the balcony railing deep in thought, the mug of tea brewed from local Japanese herbs forgotten in her hands. "Penny for your thoughts, Little Wolf?" Dom whispered close to her ear and took pleasure as her body reacted to his voice. Iris turned around slightly, placing the mug on the nearby table as Dom placed his hands on the railing behind her, envelo

"Daddy, watch out!" But before Dom could duck, a ball of snow flew into his face and then Iris' laugh rang through the chilly morning. "My turn!" Dom laughed louder wiping his face and threatening, "Now, watch out!" He threw the two balls of snow in his big hands, one at each of his girls. Purposefully missing his daughter, making her sweet laugh ring in the crisp morning air. "Mommy, I need more!" Little Marie called out, making Iris temporarily lose concentration and head towards her daughter to create a bunch of little snowballs for her to throw. That's when Dom sneaked behind his wife and masterfully pulled back her neckline to drop a handful of ice down her back, making her shriek and run inside, "Dom! You'll pay for this." "You wanna make snow angels?" Dom offered his daughter who still stood bewildered at what had happened and why had mommy suddenly stopped helping her make more snowballs. She nodded enthusiastically and laid on the snow as Dom joined her and the two str

"Dom, she is too young for this. Wait a few more years." Iris laughed as she read a book and kept watch on baby Marie while her father was doing things nobody expected him to. Ever since the war had been won and peace had been settled. Dominic and Iris chose a secluded place untouched by war or any bad memories, a small cottage beside a private white beach in Brazil, to raise their daughter. Of course, there were times when they had to fly or teleport to a meeting halfway across the world when Freddie or Nora needed them to be present. The Alpha King and Queen could simply not vanish with the little princess. The secret perfectly up-to-date with technology and the magic, basement of the cottage was an example of how Dom and Iris were working from home while giving Marie the childhood that neither of them had. They had settled into this new routine of mundane chores which meant everything to the couple who had seen and suffered so much in their millennia-long lives. Dom had changed

[The semi-smut scene of the patch-up in the cave.] This was the first time a man had looked at her with this hunger and not to harm her but with a need to love her. That was all the motivation either of them needed because they didn't know who began it but with another loud thunder, they were on each other. More like Dom was hoisting Iris by her thighs as she had jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his torso. The patch-up makeout was intense as they kissed each other wanting to drown in the other. Their tongues danced to the wild rhythms of their hearts as their combined shadow danced with fire on the cave walls on the music of the magical storm that was raging outside. Once their lips were kiss-swollen and their lungs could not take the lack of oxygen anymore, they unwillingly separated. But Dom had had enough of staying away and the factors that were trying to pull them apart, so he headed for an attack of kisses and nibbles on her neck making it hard for her to control her

[Dom's dream from the Med-Bay bed after getting rescued from Y's Island and recovering.] Dom outlined the edge of her black lace panties with his teeth as Iris couldn't help but squirm under his ministrations, making Dom stop and look up from his position between her legs and say in his deep sensual voice, "Little wolf, if you don't stay place, these lace panties are not going anywhere tonight!" Iris looked at him doubtfully, "You don't mean that!" Dom sat up straight, revealing his tanned chest that flowed down to his smooth torso ornamented by rigid eight-pack abs and that sexy v-line that made Iris drool. "Try me!" He challenged and Iris was quick to give in, not only because she knew he would do as he said but also because she was too eager to avoid delay. She wanted him and she wanted him soon, so she huffed making her naked breasts jiggle. "Fine!" Dom's bulge in his trousers got more obvious at the show of her hot body lying almost naked on his bed waiting for him to do

Implied Smut. The salty water washed its foam around their feet as their eyes gazed at the mesmerizing sunset. After an exquisite lunch, Iris found herself being led out of the house by Dom and towards the beach. The weather wasn't particularly sunny, but it was perfectly cloudy enough to walk in the not-so-hot sand barefoot and roam around without sunglasses or hats. The salty sea wind blew through their hair and clothes, and Iris felt a sense of euphoria she had always yearned for. Dom couldn't help himself but keep his eyes fixated on his mate. Lady luck had smiled on him, and he couldn't be more grateful. He wanted to provide her with everything she had been missing for centuries. They kept walking silently on the beach, savoring each other's company and the gorgeous beach around them. No exchange of words was needed. Somewhere along the walk, Dom's hand found Iris subtly. She didn't pull it away, relishing in the little skin-on-skin contact they were allowed before the rituals
Under the Dragon's Protection Epilogue
It is said that there are two parts of war. The battlefield and the aftermath. The battle was won. The cost came in the aftermath. Dom along with his family and those of the deceased was the first one to enter the Shifter Cemetery. It was the huge ground where all the shifters who lost their lives to Y's madness were buried after the war. Those who had been recognizable had tombstones, the rest got collective plates with lists of names of those lost in war. There was an empty grave for the innocent Isabella, about whose whereabouts no one had any idea. But Freddie deserved a place to mourn, and Isabella deserved to be remembered like the rest of the innocent victims. Liliana's body had been recovered, but it would've been unfair to all those who died fighting Waai if she had been buried in their ranks. So Dom had placed her in the backyard of his private mansion, where only the close family would be able to visit and remember. Iris still hadn't been able to entirely move past the

[Warning: This chapter contains an account of childbirth. Readers are advised to proceed with caution.] Dominic walked haphazardly through the emergency field hospital that had been set up by the witches to help the wounded in the war. "We need more people, just give the order and the women can come to aid." Nathaniel was trying to keep up with Dom's pace and convince him. "I cannot allow them to be on the battlefield when I promised their men that their women, children, and elderly would be safe at all costs." Dom looked around at his people, some lying motionless on the makeshift cots with missing limbs, some lying on the ground groaning because there was nowhere else to go, awaiting medical and magical help. "I am not asking you to order them to be here or break your promise. Just give the women a choice. Let the ones who volunteer come and help us get these brave people back on their feet. The war isn't over just because Waai is dead." Nathanial was persistent. Dom suddenly st
