All Chapters of I am the dragon III: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Another week passed by and Link had bought out my personal shares in the lair businesses. He still wasn’t happy with my decision but he understood it better now. I had handed over everything to him and now this really was his lair and territory.I was standing outside the meeting hall where the High Council was currently questioning Anthony. I’d be called in soon enough but I wasn’t particularly worried. The Council always conducted their hearings behind closed doors, meaning that it wasn’t open to the public. The Council members, the Elders of the region and the affected parties were allowed inside.Lucas was standing next to Megan even though I’d told him not to come. When I told him that I’d given the lair to Link I was stunned into silence when he didn’t yell at me but actually agreed that it was the best thing I could’ve done.“It’ll be fine,” Lucas said.“I know Dad,” I said.“If things turn south we can always just kill everybody,” Felix said.“That’ll definitely score you some

We stopped for gas in Bushnell and found a diner that was already open. We took our time eating breakfast and drinking copious amounts of coffee before heading out again and walking through the town.By ten am Ava had found everything she needed and we headed back to the car. Megan had already called the realtor and we drove to the bed and breakfast where we had a reservation. I had barely put our suitcases down before jumping in the shower.“Don’t use all the hot water,” Megan said loudly from the doorway.“Then you’ll have to join me,” I said as I opened the door and looked at her.“You just want to get me naked,” she said as she took her shirt off.“When have I not wanted to?” I asked her.I opened the door wider to let her get in when my phone started to ring. Megan laughed at me as she handed me a towel and I got out. “Don’t hurry,” I said to her as I grabbed my phone from the bed.“Grey,” I answered.“You didn’t call to tell me Anthony took a shot at you! I had to hear it from t

Two weeks later Marlo gave birth to a girl, Eloise Sherwood. She was an exact miniature replica of Marlo, minus the blue hair. We spent the morning after her birth with them as we helped Elio to assemble the crib and Megan, Ava and Rylee had gone on a massive shopping spree for the baby.“She’s beautiful Marlo,” I said as I held Eloise in my arms.“She’s perfect,” Elio said as he kissed the top of Marlo’s head.“Better buy that shotgun,” Lucas joked as he joined us with a cup of coffee in his hands.“Don’t you worry Lucas, I’ll sever the heads of anyone thinking of even looking at her,” Elio said.“She’s got enough people that’ll teach her how to look after herself,” Jack said as Tank held his arms out for her.“Nobody will ever hurt you precious angel,” Tank said in a surprisingly soft voice.Later that afternoon we took the boat back to the island and settled down for the day. Lucas was on his phone as he started walking the perimeter of the island. Megan and Rylee got started on di

Three months later …“Grey.” I answered the ringing phone. It was four am and I was so tired I could barely open my eyes.“Ava’s gone into labour, we’re in the waiting room,” Elio said.“She’s got shit timing, we’re on our way,” I said wide awake now.“What’s going on?” Megan asked me as I switched the lamp on.“Ava’s having the baby,” I said.“Can’t I just stay here?” she asked me.“And how would that look to the rest of the tribe?” I asked her already pulling jeans on.“I hate your tribe,” she said as she got out of bed.“No you don’t, you love them all,” I said with a smile.“I hate you,” she said and I laughed.“Get over it because I love you,” I said as she reached the cupboard.“I’ll get over it when I can see my feet again,” she said as she pulled on tights and one of my t-shirts.An hour later I parked the truck in front of our clinic that was run by our own people. It was open to humans as well and cheaper than the private hospital. I had to bite my tongue at how slow Megan m

“I say we just grab him,” Felix said.We were on the roof of an apartment building behind a row of houses as we surveyed the house in front of us. The man living in the house was named Oliver Carnegie and he was an exiled dragon. His house was on a quiet residential street along with all the other nice houses.His children went to school and played in the street with all the other children of the neighbourhood. His wife was a stay at home mom and kissed him goodbye on the porch every morning as he left for work. What she didn’t know was that Oliver Carnegie had secret dealings with some very unsavoury characters.This was our tenth assignment for the Elders and thus far we had taken out exiled members straying from our laws. He had a small travel agency on a busy street where everyone knew everyone and people waved and smiled at each other.In the back of this travel agency, he had illegal immigrants packing cocaine and runners from different street gangs that sold it. The Elders were
