OdessaI stirred the pot a few more times. The meat was breaking up perfectly. Savory smells from the spices infiltrated the cave that I had hoped no one from the outside could smell it. The large tunic I wore, I had tied with a strap of leather, making a shortened dress that laid half way down my thigh. The bulkiness of the shirt had caught too many times on the floor and random objects of the room while I cleaned.A warm presence was felt behind me, then a tender, calloused hand grazed my arm. The sparks that flew across my arm that I had felt only with one person had me giggle in excitement.“You’re back!” I threw my arms around his neck. The surprise caught him off guard, tumbling backwards. His dragon inside rumbled with what I assumed was laughter. Strong arms picked me up off the floor, holding me above his head. My arms laid on his shoulders, smiling down at him. He picks me up like I weighed nothing, making me fe

CreedThe memories that infiltrate my dreams, the memories that make sure I am reminded that I was alone in this land, did not haunt me the night before. The echoing of the of loneliness did not startle my dragon, nor did wake him to find the fury of red bleeding from his eyes. This time, our eyes only opened slowly and felt the one person who had changed my loneliness, my well-being.Her now favorite spot was right on top of my chest. Her whole body used mine as its own nest, her torso curled up around mine and her hand tickling the back of my neck. Fingers gently stroked the bits of loose hair while she slept. Not one bit was uncomfortable, it soothed me until it would lull me back into my own sleep. It’s like she knows when I awake in the night, disturbed by one thing or another. This goes on for the entire night. If she stirs, my dragon vibrates, whispering to her body to take rest. An endless cycle that we have grown accustomed to in o

OdessaMy eyes twitched in annoyance. Daine’s hand came impossibly closer again, and I slapped it away. “I don’t need to know any of you. Let me and Fluffy go and we will go back to our own territory.” Jhaan chuckled, nudging the village idiot who was tickling the little boy who said I smelled funny.“Lore, get over here and at least stand by her. We will lead her back,” Jhaan ignored me, taking the lead of the small band of elves that were leading me further away from the mountain I had grown so fond of.“I need to get back! Just get out of my way. If you are so scared of Creed, then you know he will come hunt for me!” Jhaan stopped, turned, giving me a scowl. It wasn’t intimidating at all since he was my height, so it didn’t stop me from kneeing him in his crotch. Several elves laughed, grabbing my shoulders holding me back in place. I struggled, Jhaan chuckled hoarsely.

Creed Once Adam’s smell left the area, I went back to the narrow clearing where I chopped wood. The trees that I had selected to discard for fire were barely holding up. This would leave fresh new trees to grow in its place. I pulled on my spare cloak, my cloth covering my nakedness was still around my hips, but my leathers to cover my legs were gone. I was not expecting to shift while hiding in the small ravine cutting down trees. This proved to be a terrible mistake. I will be sure to always be prepared when my Fawn is with me. Even with my warm body and my comfortableness walking around in just my cloth, Odessa would always become flustered, becoming a bright shade of pink.Maybe I should just forget my leathers. My dragon agreed whole heartedly.Hoping that the search for Odessa had slowed, I was mistaken again. The Duke was set on having Odessa and the next steps would be futile to make him believe she was dead. I still held onto the rags of her

Duke MortusThe cobbled stones hit the carriage’s wooden wheels firmly. Black stallions reared their ugly heads as my coachman whipped them to hurry down the winding path. The road to the castle was filled with rough terrains. The previous King, Drago, did not care to maintain the roads to his castle because he did not want an audience at all. He was a bloody tyrant. My family hated him and everyone else in the parliament. They craved to rule the entire nation with an iron fist, take what they wanted, take on female vampires as concubines until he found his fresh new rose he saw in the Moon Kingdom some twenty-odd years ago.Princess Sabrina was just a babe, lying in a crib, but when he looked into her eyes, he already knew he had to have her. It would strengthen both kingdoms, but not only that, the aura of this precious baby calmed his demon inside. No longer thirsting for blood and concubines, he calmed his ways just enough for the kingdom to thrive for twenty
