A tiny crackling was heard like small, almost unnoticeable sparks around them. Dom and Iris quickly looked up to notice the numerous lanterns decorating the cave walls were beginning to catch fire from nothing and lightening up the dark cave. Şekileus had started to accept the part of the ritual that surrounded the passion and devotion of the couple to each other. But the main ring was still silent and cold. That reminded them of the ritual they were there to perform. Dom went back to his position after a soft peck at Iris' forehead as she sat straighter than before. It was time to resume the ritual and be done and over with the last elemental ritual of their wedding. It was time, to be honest. And Iris still had some heavy weight on her heart. They gazed into each other's eyes and Dom saw guilt still swimming in hers. He sighed and started, "Alright, My Queen, I'll lead and you can follow as you feel comfortable. Hm?" Iris wordlessly nodded and with a deep breath, Dom began, "

The next whole week could be expressed for Iris in two words: Utter Bliss! She was on cloud nine and felt like floating mid-air all the time. The days were spent busy with everyone getting ready for the Christian wedding, the nights were spent yearning for the mating ceremony to arrive, which was on the very night of the wedding. Dom and Iris had mind-link conversations almost all the time, sometimes teasing, other times having heart-to-heart, and other times random tidbits were being exchanged. Lily was yet to be invited to the wedding. Since her act on the third ritual, nobody wanted her to mess up anything else, but it was her only brother's most important day of life, and neither of them wanted her to miss it. Plus, it would be suspicious if Alpha's little sister wasn't attending the vows and ring-exchanging. And yet no one dared to bring up the topic in front of Dom. Iris had, after all, been upset for days because of a few seemingly harmless sentences. And then there was the

To say that Iris was surprised would be a huge understatement. Because when Carlisle Gilbert walked in wearing a black tux and bow tie, smiling tenderly, her jaw almost literally dropped to the floor.Before she could even begin, he complimented, "When I say you look drop-dead gorgeous, I mean it. Because you do look mesmerizing, Iris. Dom is going to have his mind blown.""Carl." Iris breathed, still not sure if he really was there or if she was imagining him.He smirked, "O please, don't be so surprised. I wasn't going to miss my best girl's wedding now, was I?"He hugged her, careful not to mess up her dress or makeover. And she finally realized he was really, actually there."H-how are you even here? I thought after the last time you and Dom were in the same room-""I know, I know. It all went downhill. But you know it was all just a huge misunderstanding. We later met and talked like adults and clarified it all up. So much so, that he even allowed me to walk you down the aisle, if

Everyone's gaze shifted from the almost wedded couple to the newcomer. To the surprise of everyone, it was Freddie. He wore a nice black tuxedo himself and stood smiling at ease. Before anyone had a moment to process what was happening, Freddie looked at Dom and regained composure, "That came out wrong. I swear it sounded way cooler in my head." "Freddie, get on with it," Dom spoke through gritted teeth as Iris asked him, confused, "Hold up, you knew he was going to do this?" "Not this! I knew he was going to intervene but this idiot chose the worst possible timing." Dom glared at his friend for almost ruining his wedding. Freddie raised his hands in surrender, "I am so sorry, Your Majesties" His face was that of a child who knew he had committed a blunder but tried to make it right nonetheless, "I don't have any objections to this wedding. I mean, Alpha and his lady's reunion has been the most awaited for so long. I just wish to be included in the ceremony." "What?!" Iris almos

It was almost dawn. Many hours had passed since Dom and Iris discovered the dead body in their bedroom. All the wedding festivities were over in an instant. The cheerful mood was gone. Of course, the details of the incident were known to only a selected few. Unstable Liliana was left out of the loop so she won't cause any damage and would be protected herself from the knowledge as well. Dom was back in full Alpha mode and the meeting room had been occupied by various members of the dragon family all the time. One thing was clear, Waai was behind all of this. And clearly, there was a connection between the fire at the wedding cake shop and this corpse. The worst part wasn't that Waai still had minions on the island to cause mischief, it was that his minions had infiltrated the mansion and even reached Dom's bedroom. What was stopping them from slipping in again for something worse than placing a burnt corpse? It was obvious, there was still a mole in the dragon family. Even after G

"Lily baby, what are you doing up? You should be resting, it's too early." Elijah tried to change the topic and failed miserably in front of his stubborn younger child. "How do you know anything about Kate?" Dom asked sternly. Liliana, however, unfazed, entered the room and sat down yawning, "Nana said a few things last night when she came to say goodnight." "She shouldn't have." Muttered Dom as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Elijah placed a hand on his shoulder to warn him so as to not make Liliana feel left out. "Why? Is a fire in a shop in the town square supposed to be a secret, Brother?" Dom stood up, still not over his sister's attempt to cause trouble between him and his wife. Intentional or not, it still happened and Dom wasn't the forgiving type. Without a word, he left the room after motioning for Iris to follow. When only Elijah and Liliana remained, he tried to coax his daughter out of the investigation while trying not to let it show, "Lily dear, the matters are

That night's meeting was tense. It had so many revelations yet raised so many new questions. Facts like some anti-shifter operations were at work by humans, were revealed. And that meant some humans were not as oblivious as expected. Dom was the tensest of all. He hadn't spoken a word since the meeting had begun. Iris, along with Elijah and the rest of them, had started to get worried about him. But Freddie reassured her, "He is always like that when something turns up. In our meetings in the past, he always went silent until the very end, listening and thinking. Until he speaks and usually a perfect solution or plan is ready. Don't worry, he is cooking up our way out. Let him be." And they all let him be until the last guy sat down after presenting radio evidence of Miss Kate's connection to Y and giving his theory about it. That is when, after a minute, Dom spoke. He didn't look up at anyone but his tone didn't leave any room for discussion, proving that his decision was final a

Dom was startled as he stopped immediately. He didn't know what had come over his mate. He knew what she was going through was not normal for her species but she was taking it very nicely until the convulsions began and then the mantra. That is when he realized what was going on and his heart ached for her as his anger reached new limits at Y for hurting his mate to the point of no release or freedom, anywhere, anytime. He hated seeing her writhing like that, terrified of what might be done to her, apologizing for nothing and begging for mercy. It was awful and he needed to snap her out of it immediately. He remembered Mage Master giving some powdered spelled herbs to Iris to calm her down magically in case she lost control ever or found her temper too strong to handle or simply to ease her mind enough to sleep to fight insomnia. He jumped to get the herbs and threw a handful of powder right into her sobbing face, as she began to pause crying and began coughing instantly. Something

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
