“Why we so spread out,” I ask. “This is due to humans hunting shifters. Eventually we were reduced to myth and humans began mistaking us for animals that kill their livestock, and it was thought it’d be best to be apart to be less conspicuous. We have to be careful where we transform and be discreet. It would be hard to explain why there are lion or jaguar sightings in the United States. Which is why I tell you to stay within our territory. I don’t want any of our wolves shot. Anyway, back to the dragons. Ryuu and Kaida were so devastated at the loss of their child that Ryuu created the dragon realm. Ryuu moved all the dragons to their own realm where they could be safe and live their lives in peace, away from the humans. He also allowed mythical creatures like the kitsunes, phoenix, and the winged white tiger into the realm. However, creating this realm exhausted Ryuu of his powers. He didn’t exactly die, more like his body died but his soul rose to the spiritual world, the moon, w
“Hey Enzo and hello their beautiful,” says the mysterious boy, winking at me. “You didn’t tell me your friend is very pretty Miranda.” “Umm, hi” I manage to get out. “Are you eating as well,” I ask. He tugs the corner of his lip into a smile as he is eyeing me. I all of a sudden feel very self conscious of my body. “If you’re serving I’ll definitely be eating. What is your name beautiful,” he asks. “My name is Davina. Do you need a menu,” I ask trying not blush. “I’ll have what ever Enzo is having,” he says with a smile. “Jack don’t be rude,” says Miranda. “Davina this is my cousin Jack. Ignore him, he can be such a flirt.” “You neglected to tell me how gorgeous your friend is Miranda,” says Jack while staring at me. “You said that already Jack,” says Miranda rolling her eyes. “Davina I’ll have the usual,” Enzo says laughing at his friend. “Me too,” says Miranda. “Coming right up,” I reply. I am blushing and quickly walk away to hide it. The moment I bring the new ticke
Daniel The boy seems human. There is nothing the wolves, nor my wife and I, can detect to make us believe he is an enemy. I knew this day would come and we would have to let her go out, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. She is my little girl. Isla stayed at the restaurant so that one of us could at least be present when Jack picks up Davina. Isla thought it would be best if it were me. Someone had to take his keys from him. I am going to definitely go through this kid’s car and see if there is anything I can learn about him. I text Thierry and let him know what is happening tonight, he won’t be happy about it though. He assigns two wolves to follow Davina. Thierry texts he will have his investigator, Carter, dig up information on Jack as well and email it to me. Given that Jack is related to Miranda I am trying to convince myself everything is fine. We did a background check on her as well and she and her family came back clean. Davina and Miranda have been good friends for t
“Finding anything incriminating,” she laughs. “Nope, he appears to be clean just like his cousin. The wolves found nothing in his record of concern and nothing in his car is of concern either,” I inform her. “Good. Davina needs to have some fun and go out. I’m glad she’s super smart and does well in school but she has been missing out on being a teenager. Besides we’ve never had any concerns about Miranda. For a human she has a good head on her shoulders. Maybe that has rubbed off from her cousin. He seems responsible and quite smart,” says Isla. She is right. Being that Jack had fast tracked like Davina and has been already attended college did give me a feeling like he is a responsible young man. “I know you’re right. I’m just worried about her seal and us failing her by allowing the wrong person around Davina,. We can’t lose her too,” I reply. “I know Daniel. Me too.” We then go back inside and I try distracting myself by watching tv. I flip through the channels before settli
“You have no idea how excited I am,” I say with a huge grin. Jack laughs, “Miranda told me how much you like Harry Potter.” He then leans closer. “You’re cute when you’re all excited,” he whispers in my ear. I blush at his comment. The lights begin to die down and the previews begin to play. The theatre is packed. Jack has the popcorn in his lap. I grab a handful and begin eating some when he unexpectedly takes my hand and slips his fingers between mine. I look at him from the corner of my eye and he is looking forward at the screen. I turn my attention back to the movie as it is beginning and I smile. About half way through the movie I shiver. I should’ve brought a jacket, theaters tend to be cold since they keep the air conditioners on. Jack must have noticed because let’s go of my hand and takes off his flannel to put around my shoulders. He then puts his arm around me to keep me warm. I eye him and can see his well defined muscles under his black tee shirt. He definitely works o
“What is it Thierry?” He looks at me with confusion and then looks back at the parchment thinking he missed something. “Dimitri, it’s my family. My family has the lycan gene.” “Does the book say how to tell who has the gene or if it’s all of you and your children?” He is really getting excited. This is the closest we’ve ever come to figuring out who has the gene. “I don’t know. I didn’t get that far in the book. Give me a second.” I grab the book and read further to see if it says anything else about it. “From what the book says, the person with the gene will not know they have it until an event to trigger it happens. I would say we all have the gene and it has to be triggered.“ “Does it say how to trigger it?” “It says in times of danger or great loss. Their life has to be seriously threatened and almost to the brink of death for the gene to trigger or someone close to that person dies and not just of old age, a horrific death. I don’t like either of those.” I don’t want any o
Derek The next morning my eyes feel like sandpaper with the little sleep I got. I stayed up way too late studying up on the dragons. I have a feeling dad is going to try and quiz me to ensure I actually read the book. My alarm goes off at six in the morning. I groan, wanting to throw the damn thing to shut it up. I drag myself out of bed and take a cold shower to help wake me up. After showering and getting dressed I head downstairs to the kitchen to grab some breakfast before having to meet dad in the office. Miss Kat, our cook, always makes the best food. She already has my usual out french toast, eggs over easy and a mountain of crispy bacon. My stomach is growling, demanding food. “Thanks Miss Kat. As usual you’re the best,” I tell her. “No problem dear,” she says with a smile. Miss Kat is like a grandmother to everyone at the estate and treats everyone as if they are her grandchildren. She makes sure no one misses a meal and everyone takes their breaks. After eating my food I
My head is spinning from all the information dad has just thrown at us and he hasn’t even touch on any of the battles yet. Shifters tend to be quite loyal so why did so many abandon their families? It makes no sense. I wonder if they are being tricked by a lie. Or they are greedy and somehow someone discovered how to extend their life when killing a silver dragon. I have so many ideas and questions running through my head. I snap my attention back to dad’s lesson, I need to keep up. “The second silver dragon was killed three months after the first along with four other dragons. Not only were silver dragons coming up dead but now other dragons were dying. We didn’t know if it was because they were present when the silver dragon was attacked or because of a whole different reason. There were originally ten silver dragons alive at the time and now we had eight. Fairy’s were concerned but did not get involved. They are not warriors and they were using their magic to protect the creatures
