Under the Dragon's Protection Chapter 9
A warm, soothing comfort surrounded her as Iris wanted nothing more than to snuggle into the inviting scent. Everything felt so right that she wanted to sleep a little more. But despite everything, she stiffened at the toughness of her pillow. Where was her feather pillow and why was this hard pillow breathing? Before she could react to what seemed like a nightmarish situation, a rumble was heard as a laugh sounded from her pillow, ”I know you are awake, little wolf!” She heard the smirk in his voice. Iris opened her eyes to stare directly into the mesmerizing ones of none other than Dominic McBlaze, who was lying shirtless where Iris' was against his naked chest, which felt like searing her cheek, and her ear could hear his beating heart. The full extent of her compromising position dawned on her when he noted smugly, "Even though you drool, you do sleep adorably." That made her shoot up, rubbing her chin to get rid of the little drool that got her made fun of, making the sheet cov

Since, apparently, they were having breakfast in the bedroom, Iris didn't want to stay with Dom alone any more than she had already done so far. He did things to her without touching her. He made her heart flutter, the kind of thing that made her confused. Yes, he was her mate and she understood that. That was why she was as hysterical as she was and trying to escape right now, but she needed time to come out of her love phobia. It felt like she had stopped allowing herself to be happy over the centuries, since her brother wouldn't ever allow her to receive the love of a man. Iris asked Lady Marie, "Will you join us for breakfast? I was hoping to get a few questions answered." But their privacy was all in Lady Marie's intentions, "My pretty child, you do not need me for any more answers. Your mate is just as well aware of the past and present as I am. He is quite capable of answering any and every question that you may have." She smiled, sensing her helplessness, and gave some detai

In no time, the breakfast was over and Sussane had come to fetch Iris to get her ready for the day and handed some papers to her Alpha cousin, who thanked her and left. After the conversation they had, Iris didn't expect much either. Sussane was all smiles and just as excited as Lady Marie like she had just come into the room of newlyweds. As soon as the breakfast was cleared up, Sussane started, "I hope you slept fine, I mean at dinner- you didn't seem so well." She seemed genuinely worried for her and it was a first in a long while for Iris. "Yes, I-uh, ghosts from the past." Iris tried to be vague, "I am fine now, thanks." Then she couldn't help but ask, "Can I maybe, from today onwards, get my own room? maybe?" She almost hesitated to ask but she couldn't spend every night on the same bed as him. "But you have your own room, you're standing in it." Sussane acted as if Iris' request confused her like she had asked something silly. "No, this is his room. Your Alpha's-" Iris tried

Let's begin!" Iris heard Dom say but her mind quickly ran away with thoughts of doubt and a long list of 'What ifs'. Only when Gideon Powers, Sussane's father, mentioned Y, did Iris register the conversation going on. "He is an old and powerful foe. No one can defeat Y in his fortress, that island is impenetrable unless he wishes otherwise. We only stand a chance with two options." "Either we lure him out by implanting our spies on the island or simply go Dragon." The Beta, Freddie concluded. Iris noted a frown at Mr. Powers' brow but remained quiet to know the end result of the meeting. It took two hours to get to some common ground. Iris was asked to provide her insight and opinion, which was surprisingly taken well. Acceptance was new. Even though Mr. Powers and Mr. and Mrs. Edmond Black seemed a little hesitant, no one could question the alpha or the decisions involving his mate. Once the meeting was done and only ones with pack duties were asked to remain, Sussane perked up,

Alpha Alphonso Dominic McBlaze found himself wanting a girl that he had every intention at first sight of rejecting. Then, all he had seen was a careless woman whom he had no intention of spending his eternity with. He had thought that instead of her standing beside him, he would have to tolerate her and that is not how he wanted to lead a life with his mate. But once Freddie came back with his homework on her, Y approached them himself with a deal. The deal, to enhance them due to their sudden interest in her and finally kill her. But what he didn't know was a few things, ~ Dragon shifters still exist. ~ Dom and his friends were some of them. ~ Dragon shifters don't need to be enhanced. ~ Iris was Dom's mate. And, ~ Dom had no intention of killing her. And after knowing most of the things about her from an undercover vampire doctor in Y's army, Dom had no intention of rejecting her either. He knew he would never be able to forgive himself if he allowed his mate, who had suffer

The next few days passed uneventfully as everyone was waiting for the storm to come. The castle was unusually quiet, it was clear that everyone was waiting for some bad news. Alpha McBlaze had waged a war between dragons and werewolves. Dom had taken Y's foster sister, who happened to be his favorite plaything to torture over the centuries, and declared her under his protection. Dom knew the consequences but he couldn't let his mate be ruined like that anymore. Iris had her own room but now she was unable to have that peace of mind as she did when she had slept cocooned in Dom's arms. He was a man capable of turning her on, scaring her into running away, and calming her down. He had control over her that she blamed the mate bond for, but deep down she knew it was her own developing feelings for the one man in her long life whom she could shelter herself under. His presence made her feel safe, she felt like nothing could harm her anymore. It had been only a few days in the castle and

"Y is at the gates, himself! And he is demanding her." Those ten words drained Iris of every other feeling and left her saturated with nothing else but cold icy dread. She felt like she had been drenched in ice-cold water which had reached her soul and left her feeling utter terror. Anyone looking at her could see the effect that those ten words had on Iris and she was helplessly not in control. Dom had wanted to protect his mate. That is why he had wanted to leave her without telling her anything about the news Freddie was going to deliver. By the mention of The Red Code, Dom knew it had something to do with the evil psychopath Y and that is why he didn't want Iris to feel scared about any of it. Wulfric was also aware of his Alpha's wish to keep all the distressing news from their future Alpha-Queen. That is why he had declared the code first and not the news directly. But the one thing they forgot was that even though Iris was weaker than their lot, she was still supernatural w

Iris woke up to a smiling Liliana. She remembered the events from before blacking out and sat up straight panicking and wide-eyed only to see Lady Marie smiling unusually happily at her. Then Sussane entered with a broad grin on her face, pushing a mouthwatering meal trolly into the room. The former jumped at the sight of an awake Iris and left the trolly to make a speedy beeline to Iris and gave her a joyously tight hug, "IRIS!" Her smile widened even more as did her enthusiasm, "O, Iris, I am so happy for you!" Iris forgot her panic and looked confused at the three happy women in the room, which she now noticed wasn't her own. When did she get transferred back to Dom's bedroom, then the question rose, Where was he? Finally, due to lack of any explanation, she asked, frustrated and sarcastically, "Will somebody tell me what is making everyone so happy? Cuz I am quite tense and want to be happy too!" Liliana answered her fondly, "No need to be tense ever again, our future Alpha-qu

Under the Dragon's Protection New Years Special
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
Under the Dragon's Protection Christmas Special
"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
Under the Dragon's Protection Halloween Special
"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
Under the Dragon's Protection BONUS from Chapter 51
[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
