Cora's POV
I have never seen a woman as enchanting yet, dignified as Serena. I perceive that she is hiding something and doesn't want to trust anyone. She said she was looking for the Dragon King but who could go to call him in the middle of a war. I wanted to tell Bray to get his father but she stopped me and for the first time, I had to hide the truth from him. She seems to need help and I desperately want to help her but I can't if she doesn't open up to me. Her friend whose name I didn't even ask, seems to be timid but she manages to speak when the need arises.
I want to help her but there seems to be a wall of secret between us and I don't know how to decipher it. I am not skilled in psychology in any way. She wants to confess but suddenly, I hear a bang on the door. She can't hide her panic and I can see through her like glass.
"Is the person looking for you?" I asked Serena. There was evident fear in her eyes, which made me realize that whoever is b
Sawyer's POV The days of training till death did not go in vain even though things didn't go as planned. The Dragons were well prepared and had taken down thousands of werewolves. We only succeeded in injuring a few but my anger escalated when I saw the red Dragon George talked about in the sky. George's army was down and he was helping to take care of the injured. That red Dragon was emitting both fire and ice. It was more powerful than any Dragon I had seen. I thought of how I could defeat it and thankfully, help came from the rogue alpha. Strangely, the dragon shifted to human form in the middle of the battle and went inside the castle. Then I realized it was Brayden. I Cursed him with my wolf and set a trap for him with the help of the rogue alpha. I told my men to stop searching for him after Cora chose Brayden over me. He strangely showed up today with the best help ever. He helped me capture Brayden in the fireproof net and mysteriously disappeared but I
Serena's POV Alas, I am free again. I couldn't watch Sawyer take all the revenge. I made a promise to Sarah and I had to keep it. I had to give her a chance to avenge her family's death. My only regret is not being able to get my revenge too. I hated the rogue alpha for everything he took from me - all the years I spent hostage away from my mate and my wolves. I loathed him. Death was not enough to wash away the bitterness I felt. I slept on the cold floor for years. I starved myself. I was griefed and never elated. For a moment, I thought I couldn't make it but Sarah gave me hope. When the rogue alpha hit Cora on the head, I lost it. I couldn't watch her suffer for no fault of hers. She even sacrificed her life for us by helping us escape while she faced him alone. I admit she has some mage powers. I envied her slightly. It's good to be more than what people expect you to be. The initial grudge I felt before when I saw her has dissipated. She was
Cora's POV Everything that happened today, seems like a dream. The Ammyssian empire seems like a different world and who would have thought Serena was the end to the war? I don't regret any decision or action I have taken today. I think everything is worth it. Brayden and I saved each other. I got him out of the net and he was there in time to heal me when the rogue alpha knocked me out. He has stepped on so many toes. I've never seen a person who so desperately is a weapon of pain that everyone wants revenge on. Well, thank God everything has ended. I went to release Isabella from the hideout and Steve decided to stay with her till she delivers, which means that Bray is going to watch over his company for him but it's fine with me. Brayden and I left the Ammyssian empire the next day because of my school but I will never forget the little time I have spent there. The Dragon King is such an amazing person. I can't believe he helped me to discover
Brayden's POV "Breath, Cora, breathe. You are almost there," I encouraged her, as I kissed the beads of sweat formed on her forehead. With another loud and painful groan, the cry of our Dragon child fills the atmosphere. "Tell me, is it a boy or girl?" She was panting. "A boy, a bouncy baby boy. He looks just like you," I said with a joyfully laced voice. She smiles weakly and closes her eyes to the raging pang of sleep. It's been fifty years since I got mated to Cora. Well, counting from the wedding day, maybe. Our first child has just arrived. I intend to name him Colton Maddock if Cora agrees. It isn't easy to conceive a dragon child and we aren't an exception. However, not only did it not follow the human rule of nine months but rather twelve instead of ten. A lot has transpired since we got married fifty years ago. Well, Cora and I haven't aged in stature. We still look the same, thanks to the Dragon DNA. Even Steve and Isabella are still
Cora's POV "Hmmm, these pancakes smell incredible. I hope they taste the same," Cecilia sighed with her eyes closed. I don't know about that but having a bite won't be bad. I responded and placed two pancakes on a plate, setting them before her. "I need some too." That's my mum, joining Cecilia on the next stool beside the kitchen island. I decided to fry some more pancakes, so I could keep the leftovers in the fridge for Cecilia. "Am sorry mum, the doctor says you must eat more fruits and veggies so I made you salad but don't worry, I added avocados too", I coaxed my mum. She has a sweet tongue but I won't allow it, knowing it would end up affecting her health. " Thank you, Cora, you know how to make an old woman happy," she replied. Glad I convinced her. "I keep telling you that you are not old. If Dad hadn't run off with some-" The words were stuck in my throat as tears formed in the corners of my eyes. "It's okay de
"Not so fast, Cora? You are late again." I heard his angry husky voice behind me and turned to face him. "Am very sorry Ken, it won't happen again." Truly, I wasn't planning on being late again and I never thought I would be late today but how do I explain to him that I dozed off in the library and overslept? "It's the same thing you said yesterday and the day before," Ken said in a stern but low voice, not wanting to attract unnecessary attention. "Please, this time, it's for real". I said, hoping I sounded as convincing as I was, and turned to go change. "Where do you think you are going? 'To get changed?" I said to him, thinking about how dumb a question he was asking me when he knew I couldn't work in trousers and a T-shirt. "Good, wear these," he let out, throwing a small bag in my direction, which I caught mid-air. I looked into the bag and gaped at the content. A short, simple black dress with high heels. Am a stripper, and not
After recovering from the shock of his voice, I mastered the courage to speak. If I was going to die, I should at least be brave and not die without a fight. "It's extremely dark and I can't see a thing." I imagined my voice to be brave but it came out as a shriek. "Uhhh, sorry, I forgot you were human." His voice suddenly became gentle but quickly changed to a cold one. "Walk straight forward. Am watching you." "What? How can you see me in such a dark room?" Now, I was sure he was some serial killer. "Just do as you have been paid to. You don't ask the questions." With that, I began moving my legs, one after the other, straight ahead as the mysterious man slash serial killer had commanded. After what took like ages and luckily not bumping into anything, I made her way through the room. "Stop." I stopped in my tracks at the sound of the voice. "Turn around." I obeyed and turned around. "Sit." I bent my buttocks to sit and luckily, it t
Brayden's POV Jlp I didn't intend to go all the way with her but I don't know why I couldn't control myself. Unlike other women, I was never disgusted by her. The closer I got, the more I wanted to go. She gave no disapproval. Maybe she was scared. When I requested an escort, I only needed someone around. I didn't mention prostitutes but I still paid the same amount. I did it because I couldn't touch all the girls the club ever sent. They disgusted me. They were more of escorts. They came to the darkroom and I watched them from the next bedroom. Of course, I could see clearly in the dark. My eyes were more powerful than human eyes. They reclined there and I scanned them as they slept. I couldn't trust them when I told them not to switch on the light so they languished on the bed till they got exhausted and slept. The next morning. They wake up and leave without seeing me. But there was something about this girl. I don't know anything about her e
