LaraI want Ashton to fuck me so badly that I don’t even wait for his response before I jump over him. We both tumble to the ground, a mix of laughter and gasps escaping us.“What are you doing?” he chuckles.“Wrestling you to the ground to take what I want!” I declare in a determined voice. “And guess what? You’re the one that I want, and I might also possibly want your cock.”“Only possibly, huh?” Ashton asks while watching me from below. I’m straddling him, but he doesn’t look bothered, and his hardening member tells me he really doesn’t mind. “You’re not certain?”My cheeks burn. “I admit nothing.”He keeps looking up at me with amusement dancing in his eyes, but I can also sense a hint of desire. Ashton wants me as much as I want him, but I can’t give in this easily. I won’t fall for his charm and pretty-boy eyes. Not yet. “Oh, and by the way, I caught you off guard, didn’t I?” I tease him.His lips twitch. “Or maybe I let you pounce on me?”I snort. “Please, we both know that I’
LaraAnother hiss leaves the vampire’s mouth, but before it can sink its teeth into my flesh, there is a thundering growl. Ashton, still in his beastly form, lunges at the creature with his fangs bared. He snarls and snaps at the vampire, who recoils in fear and drops me to fight the massive wolf.I scramble away from them, pressing my back against a tree as I watch the ferocious battle unfold. The vampire is fast, but Ashton is stronger. With a bitter growl, he bites down hard on the vampire’s arm. Its ripped off with ease and the creature howls in pain and recoils.But there’s no time to celebrate this small victory. More vampires are barreling towards us, fangs bared. I can’t stay frozen anymore; I know what to do.Summoning all my courage and energy, I let out a guttural cry and shape-shift into my wolf form. The transformation takes a heartbeat - one moment, I am standing human, and the next, I am on fours with fur bristling and sharp fangs.Even though I’ve never fought vampires
LaraAfter hours of running, I finally allow myself a break. It’s getting dark, and even though I’m miles away from my pack, I can’t continue running. My throat is sore, and my paws feel heavier than lead.It makes sense. Ashton and I reached our camping place by driving an entire day—a werewolf can’t run the same distance in just a few hours.And even though I’m aware the vampires could catch up to me, I don’t think they will since they want me to warn Ryan of what’s to come: a war between the werewolves and the vampires.I’m safe.But Ashton is not.He is dead.Immediate pain bursts through me. It feels like there’s a hole in my chest where my heart would be. I can't fucking breathe. I shape-shift back into a human to let my tears fall as I walk through the forest entirely naked. I’m not cold. I’m just sad and broken. How does one recover from losing their mate?Leaves crunch underneath my feet as I drag myself forward. I can hear a lake in the distance, but before I can reach it,
LaraLater the same evening, my dragon friend is eating some fish I caught in the river. He is tiny and I doubt he will finish everything I caught, but at least he won’t go starving.“Easy there, little guy,” I tell him while wandering deeper into the cave we found. “I don’t want you to eat too much and explode.”The dragon doesn’t even look up from the fish, and I giggle before shape-shifting back into a wolf. Since I don’t have any clothes, it’s more comfortable sleeping as a wolf, and this way, I can also keep my new friend warm.I find a place in the corner and close my eyes. I’m sure my dragon friend will join me soon…When I awake, the first thing I note is how peculiarly snug I am. The cave that was once hollow and vast now feels oddly close, as though the walls have folded inwards to encroach upon us during our slumber. Bewildered, I raise my head and look around, my eyes adjusting to the dim light filtering in from the entrance of the cave. It takes me a moment to comprehend
Lara After managing to convince my dragon friend to stay behind, I shift back into my wolf form and follow the scent of a nearby herd of deer. Their smell is fresh in the air and it doesn’t take long to find them. The hunt is swift. With the enhanced speed and strength of a wolf, I manage to quickly take down a large buck, biting deep into its side. After making sure the deer has passed, I drag it back towards my dragon friend, leaving a trail of scattered leaves in my wake. When I return, I see the dragon shifting uncomfortably from one foot to another. His eyes light up as he sees me dragging the deer. ‘Food!’ I shape-shift back into a human. “Yup, feel free to dig in—” The dragon rushes past me without warning, gobbling down the entire thing at the speed of light. His tail moves from side to side after he is done, and I see his back muscles expanding as he grows larger. “Um... Did you even taste that?” I ask him, baffled at the speed at which he devoured the deer. ‘More?’ He
LaraAfter Sally and Ryan has taken a look at Ashton, we are sent to a barn. Ashton is way too big to sleep anywhere else and according to Ryan, he needs to fully grow before he can take the shape of a human again. If he did it now, he would be a child, and that would be awkward, so I won't force him to shape-shift until he is ready. "Alright, big guy," I flick on the light in the barn and gesture at the big empty space. "You won't be cramped in here, and look, there is plenty of space for you to grow!"'This is home?' Ashton's voice echoes in my head, filled with innocent curiosity."Not quite, but it's going to be our temporary home until you are fully grown and ready to shift back," I explain, ruffling the scales on his snout. "Plus, I don't think you'd fit through the front door of the mansion."He gives a grunt of agreement and swivels his head around inspecting the barn. High ceilings supported by dark wooden beams extend above us. There is hay everywhere and Ashton circles arou
AshtonI wake up in a field, disoriented and bloated. It looks like my eight-pack is trying to push its way from my stomach. And wait, why the hell am I naked? What happened yesterday?"Oh great, you're finally awake," Lara comments from the ground. She looks extremely tired and is practically plastered to the ground."What the hell happened to you?" I ask, half amused by how her eyes trail up my body in pure appreciation. "I fought with a very stubborn and massive dragon," she replies and sighs. "He wanted to eat every burger inside of McDonald's, and I couldn't stop him."Is she high or something?I snort. "A dragon?""Uh-huh, you.""Me?""You were the dragon…you are the dragon.""What are you talking about?"Her eyes narrow, and I'm baffled when her expression turns into pure irritation. "Wow. You really don't remember?" "Remember what?" I'm lost…"You died, Ashton. You were murdered by Parisa and her vampire army, but somehow, you came back to life as a dragon. I've been taking c
LaraEven after an hour has passed, I’m still bathing in the afterglow of the sex I had with Ashton. We are both naked in the field, careless and free. I’ve long forgotten about Parisa and her vampire army marching in on our pack’s territory, but I’m about to get a wake-up call. Soon, I hear wolves howling in the background—wolves from our pack that are telling us enemies are approaching. Ashton immediately stands up. “Fucking shit. Parisa and Harri are here and…fuck…what do I do? I want to fight alongside my pack, but they still haven’t seen the new me.”I stand up with him. “Don’t worry. They will accept you as their Alpha, even if you’re a dragon now.”“Are you sure about that?”I shrug. “Well, dragon fire is able to melt vampires, and I think we could both agree that your pack wants to live, so…yeah. I think they will be fine with your new self.”He nods before asking, “And what about you? I know that we have marked each other and all that, but… you’re not freaked out about me be
