ZADE POV
It was peaceful underground, Zade could just be himself, his blasted wolf was subdued, no one could mind link him, the warmth of the water relaxed his muscles, and soothed his soul.
Sometimes he wondered what might have been if he had defied his father and accepted April, would she still be a superstar? Would his father really have killed a member of his own pack? Instinct told Zade he would have followed through on his threat.
And he had done what he thought was best at the time.
Except now, Zade was completely alone;
April couldn't ever remember being this happy before, it was so cliche but since Adrastus had entered the she-wolf's life, she felt like she was finally living in color again; it didn't even matter that he wasn't a wolf, that they weren't even the same species, Adrastus made her feel loved, and to April that was everything.At times he would try to talk to her about serious things but, it didn't take much before they were rolling around naked, enjoying each others flesh, and indulging in the most carnal pleasures where ever they happened to be, and all serious talk would be lost amidst the throes of ecstasy.She let herself into her apartment several days later, still in a sexual daze after leaving her gorgeous m
'Nooooo!' Adrastus bellowed into the wind, the giant flame skinned dragon roaring out his fury as he flew high above New York City to avoid being seen.How could he have been so careless? The Dragonlord knew the prophecy like the back of his hand, but April and Adrastus had been so happy he hadn't wanted to mar that with talks of mate choices and curses.Now he could only hope he wasn't too late, as the giant dragontorpedoed through the sky, leaving thunder and lightning in his wake.
The ride back to the Midnight pack was a tense one.Todd stayed as close as he could to the still figure on thestretcher, watching as Neville, the packs top physician cleaned, and stitched Aprils wounds, covering the multiple sites in gauze before he went on to his next task. An hour into their journey her heart had stopped, sending the doctor into afrenzy of instrument wielding madness as Neville became a one-man operating team, forcing her heart to start again, inserting tubes, draining fluid,monitoring vitals and cataloguing injuries in order of seriousness. In the end, Todd had a whole new level of respect for the man.Aprils injuries were numerous, every bone was broken, organs ruptured ski
In the distance, made clear by dragon sight, Adrastus zeroed in on the black SUV speeding down the dirt road.'April I'm coming, hold on!'He thought to himself as he banked left into the wind current that would hurtle his massive body as fast as an arrow towards those who sought to take his mate from him. By the time Adrastus had left April's building, the sun had set and he was weary beyond compare. His heart felt empty and for the first time in his long life, the dragon couldn't bear the solitude. He had to find April, dead or alive. There was simply no other choice. So he set off, in the most logical direction they would take to get to the Midnight pack. An hour later, they were in his sight and the smell of April's blood drove Adrastus to push his body even harder to reach them. She was hurt, and someone in that vehicle would pay dearly for it..."Alpha Zade, you are not going to believe this, but a fucking huge dragon is chasing us! Wh
"Alpha in the hall!" The young woman announced in a panic as Zade strode past, ignoring the half-naked females scrambling to get to their rooms. He had an army to assemble, and a mate to retrieve. Even unconscious April still seemed to thwart him, and what the hell was that beast doing, kidnapping her like that? Surely the dragon didn't think April was still his mate? The door to his study was open, and he spared a quick glance at the adjoining room next to it, hopefully, Todd had managed to make it out alive. He was a casualty of the unprovoked attack, unfortunately. But Zade felt sure that if he was still alive he would be protecting April and making sure they survived until the pack warriors could come and rescue them.As he sat down in his chair, Zade belatedly noticed the lack of paperwork on his desk, come to think of it he hadn't been overwhelmed by it for a couple of weeks now. That was odd but very welcomed. Perhaps they had had a lull in the day to day outg
Titan walked into the King's chamber, noting the tension in the air as two foreign men sat on the ground, detained by the Royal guard. A tiny figure lay in the King's bed, surrounded by attentive females at Adrastus's request and the old healer shook her head tsk-tsking before she released her scent causing them to flee the room. Everyone was a little afraid of the old healer and she saw no reason to change their opinion. It allowed her to work in peace, and as the only medicine woman in the mountains, sometimes solitude was the only way Titan could recharge.A subtle power shift announced the arrival of the King, and Titan sank to her knees in supplication. Adrastus wasted no time offering his old friend a hand up, hurrying with her over to the bed."Please tell me you can save her." He pleaded, and Titan knew she would not stop until the Queen awakened or she died trying to heal her, it was the dragon way. "I will try." She promised, moving closer to see what s
"It would be a simple matter for me to pop down, heal her, and whizz back up, nobody would even see me, so I really don't see a problem."Zeus sat on his throne, trying to mitigate between two of his subjects. Nefele was always doing things that caused serious problems for the humans but nothing so bad that she was ever bought before him, until now. Selene stood tight-lipped next to her, tapping a slender foot on the ground as the weather Goddess defended herself against the allegations. Things were not going well.When he rose from slumber this morning, he had had no idea that this matter would take up his entire day. Now he was wishing he had just stayed in bed. The fact that he had a headache was entirely the fault of the two ladies before him, and Zeus found his patience wearing thin."That's enough!" The wise God bellowed, " Nefele you know better than to mess around with the humans, but I turn a blind eye because they are so low on the food chain that chan
Neville exited the cave with Adrastus and tried to ignore his wolf,'What the fuck Neville? There are two of us sharing this body remember? When did you decide to kill us without asking me if I'm okay with it?"Abner was not in a good mood with his human and he wasn't shy about it, but it didn't sit well with him when Neville continued grimly forward ignoring his growls snd protests. Normally Neville was an easy-going, sensible human, he made sure to keep safe, eat three meals a day, and exercise regularly, he wasn't a risk-taker and didn't ruffle feathers which were all perfectly fine with his wolf. But not today, no today Neville decided to answer the Alpha's call himself and drive to New York to pick up a patient instead of delegating the task to a lower-ranked wolf, it'll be funhe saidwe will have a great timehe said,well Neville, being in a flying car trapped in the claws of a dragon
