Chapter 87: Can’t Judge MeDemiI held onto him, not wanting to let Ryder go. Ryder gave me a reassuring glance then leans down to place a soft kiss on my lips. Pulling back, he let his forehead rest on mine the way he always did when he wanted to reassure me. “Demi, I promise you this. I won’t let anything, or anyone separate us ever again. Trust me.” His voice was calming, and I believed him, always.Ryder led me over to Selene. She gave him a promising look with her canine eyes. One’s that said she would take care of me. I snuggled into her silver blue fur, not knowing what else to do with myself. My heart was ready to beat out of my chest. Every step Ryder made that led him closer to Zeus made me want to vomit.Once Ryder was standing in front of Zeus they had both met in the middle. Noone was around them, but their voices could still be heard clearly. Ryder was standing tall. He was just as tall as Zeus now. “Ryder, I was ready to be done with you. You are
Alpha of GodsHarmony Moon Series Book 3A Steamy Werewolf / Dragon / Hybrid Romance NovelMs. SophiaChapter 1: Who is He?RyderMy pulse was racing, my breathing was rapid, but I could do this all day. Nothing is a challenge for me anymore. I ducked as a fist aiming for my face barely grazed the side of my head. That’s only because I am becoming bored with all of this, he wouldn’t have touched me otherwise.“Ryder, get your head in the game. Luca has almost landed a blow to your face twice now!” My dad shouted over the growing crowd.I glowered at my father but decided to get a little more serious so he would back off. I caught Basil’s kick, spinning him in a way that caused him to land hard on his back. I turned fast before Luca could catch me with my back facing him. I trained my eyes on him. Luca attempted to land a right elbow strike then an uppercut. He moved quickly, and with ease, reflecting the skill of a trained killer. I could see the determination on his face as he hoped
Chapter 2: I Need ReliefRyder “What are you wanting to get into tonight anyway?” Luca said while shoveling a spoonful of oatmeal into his mouth. I looked at him in disgust.“Is that oatmeal? It’s dinner time.” I hate oatmeal, no matter what time of the day it is.“Mind your business.” Luca shoved another spoonful of oatmeal in his mouth. I couldn’t help but to roll my eyes. I sighed.“I don’t know, man. Let's just go for a ride and see where we end up.” I answered Luca’s question from earlier.“You want to head toward the city?” Luca questioned.The mythical lands have no blacktop within miles. Even outside the veil you have to travel at least twenty miles on overgrown dirt roads to make it to the nearest main road.“Yeah, I have to get out of here for a while. I feel like I am suffocating.”Luca turned his bowl up to his mouth, finishing off the last of his oatmeal. I held back a gag. Turning my back to Luca, I headed to the closest exit from the dining room. Luca scrambled to cat
Chapter 3: ThirstyRyderLuca didn’t seem to take a breath while loosely sharing his strange fantasies in the bedroom. I managed to block him out, nodding my head every now and then so he would think I was still listening. Relieved to finally make it to the security gates of the storage facility I scanned my key card and the metal gates automatically opened. I chose this facility to store my bike because security is a top priority here. I sped up my pace to a fast walk. Adrenaline was already coursing through my veins with anticipation of the ride. Damn, it has been too long, I couldn’t wait to turn the throttle and feel the power of my bike beneath me. There’s something about riding that calms me. It’s like no other feeling in the world. I must take my love of riding back after my father and grandfather. I have heard the same stories from both of them one hundred times over. Security lights illuminated our way as we walked toward our storage unit. The crunching of gravel sounded bene
Chapter 4: The ClubRyderLuca and I cruised a while through the city. The yellow streetlights lining the roadway brightened and dimmed every time I passed by one. The streets are busy, but eerie at this time of night. Beings who look like humans but could be something else walked the sidewalks. I know they can’t be up to anything good in these back alleyways. I know these fuckers, and they aren’t good. Rapists, drug peddlers and lords, gangs, and thieves. The sight of them has me clenching my fists hard on my hand grips. They have a bad habit of giving me a menacing look as I roll by them. It’s a look that makes me want to have them bite the curb as I kick in the backs of their skulls. I try to control that side of me tonight. I’m not letting anything ruin this night for me. I enjoy every time I get to cut loose and go on a ride, but there is something about tonight in particular. It may be the fact that it has been a while since I was able to leave the mythical lands. Dad’s intense
Chapter 5: A Little FunRyderA doe eyed beauty greeted me from the other side of the bar.“Ryder, long time no see. What can I get you, a margarita, wine cooler, wine?”Rain knew me better than that. I raised my eyebrow at her, she gave me a flirty smile. Taking out my favorite whiskey and a couple shot glasses she simultaneously looked me up and down. She growled low. I couldn’t help but laugh at her.“I didn’t know elves growled. I gotta say, I find it sexy as hell.”She smiled and licked her lips. Her confidence drew me in like a magnet, easily disarming me from any idea of finding someone new to entertain me tonight. Long brown hair she likes to style with flowers and foliage from her garden. A tiny shapely body. She had medium tan skin. Her cheeks were always slightly blushed, making her look shy and innocent. I know very well there is nothing innocent about this elf. Hell, I even found her pointed ears sexy. The fact that she was wearing a black leather form fitting bodysuit th
Chapter 6: What’s Her Name?RyderIt wasn’t easy keeping away from girls who wanted to grind on me. I decided to stay off the dance floor all together. I picked a seat in the back of the club and ordered a few more shots. I patiently tapped my knuckles on the table as I looked around me. I let my eyes roam briefly over the left side of the room and paused on something that caught my eye. Leaning with her back and one foot propped against a wall with a drink in her hand stood a woman. Never have I felt the need to do a double take, but this female had me doing just that. We locked eyes and held each other's gazes. Neither one of us wanted to look away. I felt captivated by her beauty. My heart rate sped up as I drank in her features, I let my greedy eyes pour over her, Intent on burning every perfect detail of this woman into my mind. Silver blond hair fell in waves over her shoulders. She had tan skin that seemed to glow with golden hues and a sprinkle of freckles across her cheeks an
Chapter 7: HerRyder“I don’t even want to know.” Cam said.I wiped the corners of my eyes and attempted to gain control of myself. It’s time to train, and I take my training seriously. Luca and I went back to stretching while Dad and Cam got everything ready. I’m practicing shifting today. My dad is a full-blooded dragon, my mom is a Lycan. So, what does that make me? A hairy dragon? No… I can shift into either. I’m the very first of my kind. Many think I am an abomination but are too afraid to say it to my face. People are also creeped out because my Lycan doesn't have its own alter ego. It’s just me, I am my Lycan, the same as I am my dragon. I don’t have voices talking in my head, and I like it that way.I ran straight ahead moving in a blur. I pulled my dragon forth feeling the power pulse throughout my body. My arms, legs, fingers, and toes tingle as the shift begins. I continued to run as I stretched my arms out to the sides. I threw my head back as pain radiated from the back
