Chapter 15: Seeing Him Again ~ Willow ~ Drake saw me and a big grin spread over his pristine white teeth. God why does he have to be so HOT? I need to stay mad at him. It was hard, but I managed to walk and not run over to him. I wanted to throw myself into his arms like nothing had happened between us. I have too much pride to let him get away with how he spoke to me while I was gone though. It was dark out already, but Drake had parked under an old pole light. Its color wasn’t bright, but a dingy yellow. Cars zoomed by us on the street. Neither of us paid much attention to anything other than each other. He was wearing his usual black jacket and ripped black jeans. His hands were in the pockets of his jacket, and he had a look of regret on his face. I stopped walking when I was about three feet from him. I can’t let myself get too close, I wanted so badly to kiss him. “You're not going to come any closer?” He asked me. I shook my head. “You wanted to talk, so say what you hav
Chapter 16: Wrapped Around Me~ Brax ~I pulled my bike back into the packhouse garage and covered it over with a tarp. Willow didn’t know that was me. I was glad to find it delivered just after she showed me my room. I knew she was planning to see that jackass tonight, so I followed her. Gabriel brought me here to watch her. He provided me with a tracker he placed on her car and phone just in case I lost her. He knows he can't follow her. If she found out about him, she would just rebel even more. She won’t think twice about me. I can’t believe that little demon bitch thought he could beat me in a race. It fucking killed me seeing Willow on behind him. Her arms should be wrapped around me. She didn’t let him kiss her though. I watched them for a while until they got on his bike. I wasn’t going to show myself tonight, but I wanted to have a little fun. I didn&rsqu
Chapter 17: Fight Between Dragon and Lycan~ Willow ~I tossed and turned all night. Not only am I so frustrated about my current guy situation, but I am sexually frustrated. I haven’t had a release since the night before we left for the mythical lands. I groaned when the first signs of morning light passed through my window. I painstakingly hauled myself out of bed and changed into my workout clothes. I grabbed my phone, headphones, and a bottle of water. Our pack territory has a great area to walk and run. Our views here are so beautiful with the rolling landscape and our crystal-clear lake. It’s even prettier at night when the string lights come on. The lights reflect off the water like the stars that shine in the sky. I love my home. I love my people.Standing at the beginning of our walking trail, I made sure to stretch before
Chapter 18: An Image to Uphold~ Brax ~King Gabriel is a tough opponent. A worthy sparring partner for me. I could have got him to tap out when I rolled him over and put him on his back, but I couldn’t let him look bad in front of his people. That would be an awful thing to have held over your head. I can take the heat, because to them I am still young and learning. He is a seasoned fighter though. For him, losing to me would be devastating to his image as Lycan King. Dragons are a race that is private. We don’t socialize much. Other dragon kingdoms don’t socialize outside of their territory at all unless it is with other dragons. Humans and other races fear us, and we don’t tolerate them. The royal Lycan family are dear to my people though. They are some of our closest friends, and our only friends outside of our kingdom.
Chapter 19: Don’t Worry About What Could Happen~ Willow ~Normally I would be eager to get to the fights that my day would just drag by. Today though, it seemed to speed by. I am not ready to face what could happen when Drake finds Brax with me. I have half the mind to just stay home, but I can’t just lock myself away the entire time Brax is here. I also can’t keep this from Drake forever. Drake and I are not even together. I shouldn’t be feeling this way. If the two of them get into a fight, it’s not my freaking fault. Still… a fight is one thing, but a fight over me is different. I never want that. I may be a woman, but I can defend myself. The guilt would overtake me if one of them got hurt, or worse. I know how Drake’s temper is, and there we would be surrounded by his friends. Brax would be outnumbered.
Chapter 20: You can’t claim me~ Willow ~“Yeah, nice to meet you. You can call me Brax. You’re an alpha, right?” Brax asked him.“That’s right. I am here training for a while. My father and alpha Gabriel are good friends. Maybe you and I can spar a little.” Lance said enthusiastically.“Yeah, catch me anytime I’m on the field. I’d be glad to see what you're made of.” Brax smiled at Lance, then turned to look at me. I could see a possessive look in his eyes. Brax walked up to me and grabbed my waist pulling me closer to him. “Are you ready, sexy?” Damn him! He is trying to make Lance think we are together.
Chapter 21: I’ll Fly You Away~ Willow ~Brax walked the bike out of the driveway until we were able to get up to speed enough for him to hold the bike up. It’s completely dark. The only lighting is the moon, stars, and the headlight from the bike. It felt like things were moving in slow motion, though Brax didn’t take his time showing what the bike could do. I giggled and squealed as he lifted the front wheel in the air. Brax leaned his body going with the flow of the curves. I followed his movements as if we were one. We would lean into curves so far that our knees were inches from touching the pavement that was speeding by. I thought being on the back of Drake was a rush, but the feeling I get with Brax is something else. It’s not just being on a bike, and it’s not just the rush. There’s something about being this close to him. We are on a dan
Chapter 22: I dare you to move~ BRAX ~I know Drake said something that is now bothering Willow. I’m not going to press her about it though. It will only piss me off and I don’t want to make her any more uncomfortable than she already is about this situation. I know she is worried about Drake and I fighting. I am desperate to have a go at him, but not if it hurts her. Something happened between us tonight. I always cared about Willow; I could easily fall in love with her. Tonight, I felt like she could love me back.Willow hugged my back as we entered town. It felt so good to have her arms wrapped around me. She directed me toward a part of town that didn’t look so friendly. The steam from the sewers below were rising into the streets being illuminated by the streetlights. I’m kind of worried about parking my bike here.
