All Chapters of Ancalagon: The Last Pure Dragon: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

After getting ready, I make my way to the hospital ward where I know I’ll find Doc Everett. If he’s not home or in class, you can find him pouring over some poor schmuck’s DNA or blood work. Lately, the poor schmuck has been me and I know the Doc takes it personally that he can’t figure out what that fuckhead Oliver did to me.Doesn’t matter. What we all know is that Eliane will fix it, and since she is my mate, having her at my side should heal me. Unlike Everett and the others, I don’t feel the need to be claimed to be fixed. I just need her away from my brother and at my side.When Everett and Kaylani moved to their new home up on the hill, they also moved the hospital so that it’s between their house and the school. Now, what was the hospital is where Everett teaches classes to anyone interested in learning more about the inner workings of dragons, shifters, and even humans. I tend to skip his classes more than I attend. I could give a shit about shifter biology unless it’s going

I had intended to go see my father, but Everett thought it was important to call a meeting about Eliane right away.“So you think she’s the one?” Ishir asks Everett.“I do. I think Oliver planned to make her powerful but under his control, and then make her Cal’s mate so that she could control him. We’ve guessed at this before, but the more I hear the more I feel confident that this is what was going on. The problem is, he didn’t get to finish what he started,” Everett says, making me growl.“You mean he didn’t get to finish torturing her?” I snap.“No, Cal. Of course, that’s not what I mean. But based on what you’ve told me, she’s…unfinished. She’s two beings in one body that don’t know the other exists. She’s a split personality but with two truly different forms.”“And you don’t know if you can fix that?” my mother asks softly, her hand coming to rest on my arm. For her sake, I try to calm myself, although it’s not easy.“I won’t know unless we can bring her in.”“Well, Iniko won’t

Maybe I was a little sneaky about getting Eliane into the water, but really, I’ve seen her naked many times. Granted, she’s right that I didn’t have a human form then, but now that I do, it’s better. We can be together as we were meant to be.We spend the afternoon bathing. I know Eliane is afraid of the water because she says she doesn’t know how to swim. However, she has control of water, it's one of her elements. Once we’re able to tap into that element, she won’t have to worry. But for today, I use her fear of the water as an excuse to hold her close, letting her wrap her legs around my waist as I take her deeper into the water.In her bag, she’s collected lilacs and flower petals. They give her daffodil scent a slight change for a short period of time, but they smell nice, so I use my earth element to grind them up and then I have her lean back in the water to wet her hair before massaging it into her hair and scalp.I love watching her as she closes her eyes, letting me shampoo h

I couldn’t believe it when Eliane ended up at the Academy. I had no idea that she knew where we were, but after listening to her, I realized that she not only knew where we had been this entire time, but she and Iniko had purposefully avoided us.I didn’t want to believe it when she called him Iniko. I knew what it meant, but I had to hear it from her that he shifted and when she’d shown us her claiming mark, I felt like my entire world was crumbling around me.Her anger, her hatred toward me was palpable. She thinks I left her to die, thinks that I haven’t searched for her. I need to tell her, explain to her that I have been searching for her from the beginning, but for now, she’s here asking for our help. I don’t want to save Iniko, my brother. He submitted to MY mate. Now she’s HIS rider. But I can’t deny that he’s my brother any longer. His mark is almost identical to the one that Merethyl wears from my father, only with Iniko’s image.As we walk inside, I can feel that Eliane is b

I knew it. I knew he’d tortured her, but to hear her say it, to hear Eliane sobbing with the memory of what must have been unimaginable pain….I couldn’t take hearing anymore.I’d been right outside her door, listening in. I don’t care if she doesn’t want me to hear. She’s my mate. I need to know what I can do to help her. But hearing that, hearing her break down, it nearly broke me.I raced outside, barely making it before my dragon ripped through me. I leaped into the air roaring my anger and frustration. Elio and Ajax are the first to join me, the other dragons joining close behind.“Please, I just want to be alone,” I tell them.It takes a moment, then they all fall away. All but one.I turn and look at my best friend.“Alone means by myself, Jax,” I tell him.“I know. I’m just flying,” he says as if he’s not keeping tabs on me. I’m too distraught to care. If he wants to follow me, fine. At least I know he’ll keep quiet.I fly high up into the sky, high enough that humans and even m
