The word had spread. Y was expected to make every attempt to stop the procession in the evening. All the shifters across the world were made aware and were welcomed to join the crowning of the next Alpha king of the shifters. Coronation was sacred to all shifters and was supposed to be done at the ancient ruins of the Temple of The Gods from where the first shifters were said to have originated. They were in the very North, near the pole, and hadn't been used since Elijah was crowned, but after he chose to sleep, the magical crown along with all the rest of the coronation stuff was buried with him to be dug out once the new Alpha King ever emerged. The day had been agitated; everyone was on edge. Dom and Iris had to retrieve their to-be crowns from the sleeping caves of their predecessors because they were magically sealed in and only someone worthy could retrieve them. This was a task that they had to do themselves. No one could serve them the crowns. They had to earn them themselv

Everything was ready. Everyone waited anxiously. Iris had been back for an hour and was getting ready for the coronation. The chest had been opened by her own blood in the tiny bowl-like structure on the ancient chest's lid that absorbed it and opened using the magic in it. It indeed had contained a gorgeous crown embellished with gemstones she couldn't even name. The crown was magical on its own but the cloth that it was placed on seemed even more magical as it survived the flux of time for hundreds of centuries. It was the robe of the Alpha Queen that the first one ever had worn. Iris was overwhelmed at the sight of everything, including the ancient Queen's bracelet and a vial of the blood of the Alpha Queen before her, Dom's mother. But despite all that, Dom hadn't returned. Everyone had started to get anxious. After the success of the rituals, nobody expected Dom to take so long to return with the King's chest. He was expected to be the first one to arrive. Iris kept reaching

Now it was time to crown the Alpha King and Queen. It was a huge deal and no one knew what type of magical chain reaction was to be expected as a result of the crowning, since the last crowning was more than three thousand years ago, when Elijah had married Dom's mother and Dom wasn't even born yet. Elijah had told his experience multiple times now, but after all this time, who knew what changes awaited them? Thus, he first picked the crown from its chest and placed it on Dom's head and then picked the other one to be placed on Iris' head. This is when the magic worked. All the people in the audience, even non-dragons like Clara, felt a wave-like magical tide wash over them as Dom and Iris looked forward, their necks balancing the heavy crowns. It was a pretty sight as well as a very powerful one. This was the reason why everyone had come to attend the coronation at such short notice. The magic tide was a form of unification that joined everyone to the allegiance of the new Alpha
Under the Dragon's Protection Chapter 75
It had been almost a year since Alfonso Dominic McBlaze and his mate and wife, Iris Maeve McBlaze, had sat on the ancient thrones and worn the crown of Alpha King and Queen of all shifters. Waai had strangely been quiet, and all of their enemies seemed to have gone silent too. But it was only a matter of time that whatever was brewing finally boiled and came to the surface, and everyone knew that. This is why they had spent the whole year traveling around the world and making friends and accepting allegiance from more vampires, witches, dragons, and some rare shifter species like Fox-shifters and Bear-shifters, who had been thought to have gone extinct centuries ago. There were two sides now. Everyone was either on Dom and Iris' side or fighting beside Waai, who hadn't, suspiciously enough, made any move in the whole year. Elijah had made up his mind to go back to sleep after the war was over and Lady Marie had already gone to sleep a few months ago. Her feeble body had started to

The dragon couple weren't shocked to find Y's werewolves. Most of the werewolves on the planet worked for him. But Nora was nonetheless surprised to see the ruthless guy she had once worked beside, calling himself the Alpha of the pack. At last, she remembered he was Waai's delta, with no particular pack but working wherever and however Waai asked him to. Freddie tried to calmly tackle the situation, according to the plan, say what they came to say, and in case of a positive or negative response, withdraw without violence. They did not want to attract Waai's attention to their current location where their baby was sleeping a couple of hours' drive away along with the pregnant Alpha Queen. "Hi, I am Freddie. We have come here-" "Shut it, Dragon!" Alaric growled with an expression like the last word left a bad taste in his mouth. "Nora! please ask your pet to not make matters any worse than you've already made by coming into the wolves' den." Freddie was about to give an enraged resp

I want a private audience with your Alpha King." Alaric's words were final, he wasn't going to settle for anything less than a face-to-face with Dom, which Freddie couldn't allow. These were risky times. No one could be trusted, especially a werewolf of Alaric's history. It was time Freddie took the reigns of the mission back into his hands. He stood to face Alaric and spoke with authority, "Alpha Alaric, I respect you, but now you listen to me." Freddie took a deep breath and silently mind-linked Dom, the whole situation. Upon receiving, orders conveyed the message, "Alpha King just apologized for his lack of availability but I am here on his behalf. If you want to negotiate anything, do it with me." Nora could see it was not the response Alaric was hoping for and was getting impatient with Freddy and angry as well. She quickly pulled Freddie away and whispered, "Fred baby, let me handle this, please. I know Ric, you don't. Please, have faith-" Alaric growled from the other side

Iris stood in the doorway, blood splattered all over her pale t-shirt and jeans. Her baby belly was quite visible as she stepped in, her boots clicking on the stone floor. She made her way straight to Alaric and looked him up and down, then turned to Nora, "Fetch some iced water, dear." Her sweet voice betrayed her badass entrance, but her tone quickly changed when she addressed Alaric. "You must be the Alpha Alaric Freddie's been giving us a headache for, since morning." Before he could reply in the affirmative she introduced herself, not that she needed any introduction, every werewolf of Y knew of her at one time or another, "I am the Alpha Queen, tribrid between witches, vampires, and werewolves, restorer of balance and peace, Iris Maeve McBlaze. You will only address me as Alpha Queen" She spoke with authority and stepped over to sit on a couch in the middle of the room, smiling at Freddie, like her menacing introduction did not even happen, "Do you mind fetching me a towel?

The cloaked place was humongous from the inside. Nora rushed from beside the entering party to kiss her little baby boy whom Dom was cradling. Iris was next to step out and walk towards her husband when she wobbled and would have fallen to the ground if Alpha Alaric hadn't caught her. She had blacked out and looked pale. Dom quickly took his pregnant wife from Alaric's arms and spoke with authority, "Welcome to the safe house. Freddie will show you around and be your guide. I will meet up in a while. Excuse me, Alaric." With that, he was off, leaving Freddie once again to interact with the werewolves. He sighed, "Alpha Alaric, I know you and I did not begin on the right foot. So let's have a new beginning. We have unveiled our safe abode for you and welcomed your pack with open arms in exchange for your loyalty." Freddie tried his best to smile and come off as friendly, now that they were almost allies with the werewolf, but to befriend someone who was supposed to be the enemy for

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
