All Chapters of The Dragon Lord's Reborn Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

DAKOTA "Mel, it's not what you think. I-I can assure you" My boyfriend of two years stammers while I stand in front of the bed, frozen to the spot. Vera scrambles out of bed, holding the white sheets to her chest. I feel like I am dreaming. It doesn't make sense that Vera has just been in bed with my boyfriend. Vera who is supposed to be my bestfriend. Vera who had rubbed my back and let me cry in her arms each time I recalled the pain my ex-mate had caused me. I swallow hard, the tears stinging my eyes. My heart hurts. I feel like I'm suffocating. "Melanie, I-"I cut her off before she can complete her statement. "How long has this been going on?" I ask, my voice shaky. "That's not-" Carter can barely look me in the eyes. It is at this point that the rage sets in. "I'm going to kill you. Right here. Right now" my voice has gone so cold, I can barely recognize it. Color drains from their faces and they start to back away, already pleading with me. I am trembling as my blood b

DASHIELL She stares at me with wide blue eyes, her lips parted. Dakota has always been a beautiful sight. The last time I'd seen her is six months ago. I had heard about her accident from her brother. According to him, she is currently suffering from amnesia. Now, I find it strange that she's right here in the lobby. Besides, there's a look in her eyes that clearly states that she recognizes me. I am curious about that. "Do you recognize me?" I ask and she blinks. "Have we met before?" She asks. I let out a sigh. Right, she probably just thinks I'm familiar. "Did you come here alone?" I ask. She nods her head. Then, she shakes her head. She looks confused. "Were you alone? You shouldn't be left alone. I'll call your brother to come pick you up" I tell her and she nods, lowering her gaze to the ground.All of a sudden, I feel a strong pull towards her and the urge to imprint on her washes over me. I freeze, my thumb hovering over the screen of my phone. I stare at Dakota who is

DAKOTA Few hours before the banquet. Clenching my fists, I tap my right foot on the ground, repeatedly. The silence is discomforting, almost eerie. For the past sixty minutes, I've been sitting here in this large room with it's imposing paintings and jarring interior decorations. On the center table is a bottle of wine and a couple of wine glasses. My anxiety is peaking. Earlier, I'd been summoned by The Six. I'd stepped out of the house and had arrived at a strange looking building. My limbs had moved of their own accord. I find it disturbing. But, what can I do? The Six basically gave me a rare opportunity, I don't have a choice."You're here."I look up, my gaze meeting Landon's warm ones. He's standing in front of the door, a hint of a smile on his lips. He walks towards me and sits on the couch directly opposite me. He picks up the bottle of wine and opens it. I watch him as he pours the red liquid into two of the wine glasses. He hands one of them to me. I hesitan

DASHIELL"...signed contracts... Ashville...CEO will be visiting today...Sir? Are you alright?" I can vaguely hear the voice of my PA.I lower my head, trying to breathe through the gut wrenching pain threatening to rip me apart. "Sir? Should I get help? You don't look so good-""I'm fine" I cut him off, leaning back on my chair as my vision dulls. A groan escapes my lips as the pain reaches it's peak, nearly bringing me to my knees. I can no longer tell where I am."Dash! Hey! Focus!...at me!" West's voice drifts into my ears as I struggle to stay conscious. Slowly, the pain lessens. I can now make out the feeling of West patting my face to keep me awake. "You can stop doing that, West" I mutter, exhaling slowly."What the hell just happened? You scared me!" He stresses, his eyes wide. "I don't know""Do you need to lie down?""I'm fine. I just..I just need to catch my breath" I whisper, keeping my eyes closed. "This can't be normal. It's been years....No....decades since I've

DAKOTA Denial cannot get me out of this mess. At the moment, my mind has gone blank. "Cat got your tongue?" Dashiell says, a smug expression on his face."I...I..uh""Shouldn't you be happy? You said you have feelings for me. So, why did you keep it from me?" Dashiell is smart. If he knows that there's something I'm lying about, he won't hesitate to behead me."Alright, guys. Can we go somewhere private to talk? You're already attraction attention to yourselves" West comments. Dashiell and I turn away to look around. Sure enough, there are students eyeing us with curiosity. Desperate to somehow sneak away, I begin to rush towards the opposite direction. When I realize that he isn't following me, I quicken my pace until I get to the park. Heaving a sigh of relief, I take a seat on one of the metal benches. "That was a close one" I mutter, closing my eyes. "Who said it was over? Did I?" My blood runs cold at the sound of Dashiell's voice. My eyes shoot open, our gazes clashi
