Azura-As Cyran told everyone what happened, my eyes were fixated on Arric. Shortly after we arrived, he showed up and I found the timing strange. It could be a simple coincidence, yet the uneasiness I used to feel around him returned.It didn’t help that his eyes were glued to me as well. Up until now, I have been keeping it to myself, but maybe it was time that I discussed it with Cyran. Despite everything I did trust Cyran, so it was time that I let him know that something was bothering me about Arric.“Did you get a plate number? I can try to locate them.” Jade’s voice pulled my attention back to the situation at hand.“There was no plate. I don’t know who they are, but I don’t think this was random.” Cyran leaned forward in the recliner he was sitting in, placing his elbows on his knees.“I do think it was strange that a human came here.” Kellan was pacing the room, which I noticed he did when he was deep in thought. “If this was planned, then we have a bigger problem on our hand
Cyran-After Kellan left, I leaned back in my office chair. We have spent hours trying to figure out what to do. The situation had also escalated, which didn’t bode well for anyone. Before Azura went to bed, she passed along the portrait she drew of the man that tried to take her.Her artistic skill wasn’t as good as it had been in the past, but it was still accurate. Jade came over for a bit to try to locate the man and she got a hit within thirty minutes. In all honesty, it had been a waste of time, because where she located him was right outside of town. He wasn’t alone either.Our biggest fear had come true. The man, who we found out was named Larry. He was an ordinary human that worked at a bank. At least he had before he had been fired a few weeks ago. There was no other information on him.Jade found out there was a generous sum of money deposited into his account. She couldn’t find the owner of the account that sent the money, since it no longer existed. Kellan and I have conc
Azura-While we ate breakfast, I barely paid any attention to the food Cyran made. I was more focused on everything he was telling me. My mind kept circling back to who hired the man I now knew as Larry. Despite Cyran’s best effort to convince me that Arric wasn’t behind it, I couldn’t help but think I was right.My entire life, at least my present life, I have always had this uncanny sense of awareness. When I had a feeling that something wasn’t right, I always listened to my instincts. I have yet to be proven wrong either. The only time my instincts failed me was when I moved to this town. I kept getting a feeling that I was safe, but then I realized that I hadn’t been safe. I had a feeling that it was because Cyran was nearby though.Even when he irritated me to no end before, I have always felt as if he would protect me. After regaining some of my memories, I realized that even in my past life I had felt safe with him. For the first time since being around Cyran though, I don’t
Cyran-We hadn’t been gone for long, but already I was starting to worry. Tendrils of terror curled in my stomach, enough to make me nauseous. Feeling that something was wrong, I took one hand off the wheel, while I reached in my pocket to grab my phone.While glancing between the road and my phone, I noticed I had an unread message from Azura. After opening the message, I slammed my foot down on the brakes. The car came to a stop, with the scent of burnt rubber thick in the air.“You drive!” I ordered Kellan as we quickly got out of the car to switch seats.Kellan was in the driver’s seat shortly after I entered the car. Reading the message again, I checked the time it was sent. Eight minutes have passed. Cursing at myself for not taking my phone off silent before leaving the house, I clutched my phone tightly in my hand.“Turn around, the girls are in danger.” I didn’t need to say more, because Kellan quickly put the car in gear, and in a matter of seconds, we headed back the way we
Azura-“No!” I screamed as I watched Arion being killed in front of me again.I couldn’t see who had been responsible, as the face was blurred. I was once again having the dream of when I had been killed, except it started from where I left off. I thought that perhaps I would be able to see the person’s face, but just like before it was blurred out.Seeing as I wasn’t going to be able to directly identify the one who caused my death, I tried not to get emotional as I focused on the scene before me. Even if I couldn’t identify the person, I might be able to learn who it is.“Why?” The past version of me asked.“I have been planning this for years and for once I was able to fool your mate into leaving you alone. It isn’t my fault that this one also kept getting in my way. Unlike your mate, I know I can defeat him. Now I just need that stone you carry so I can become the King I am meant to be.” The voice was distorted, so I couldn’t identify who it was.As the person stepped over Arion’s
Cyran-Finding the Stone hadn’t been difficult. The moment it left Canada, I was able to track it. I thought that by finding the Stone, I would find Azura, but that hadn’t been the case.“Where is she?” I demanded.Holding the one that was responsible for taking the Dragon stone by his neck, I recognized him as Arion’s best friend, Darren. As far as I knew he was one of the worst Dragons ever born. I should have known he had been involved, even though I haven’t seen or heard from him since Arion’s death.“You might as well kill me because I am not telling you shit!” Darren spit out.Tightening my hold on his neck, I applied enough pressure to make him fight for air. Of all the Dragons in the world, he was the weakest, but he was also the most cunning. Killing him without finding out where Azura was, wouldn’t help.I had a feeling she was in North Africa, but I didn’t know where. If I killed him without a general idea, it could take days to find her and by then it might be too late. Ar
Azura-Back at the house, Cyran carried me into the bedroom to lay me on the bed. It had been a week since he found me, but I was still feeling weak. Cyran found a doctor who could put the Stone back in my body, but now it was a waiting game to see if it would reject me.The doctor had been concerned about the Stone rejecting its host due to the fact that I hadn’t protected it before. We considered not putting it back in at all, but if we hadn’t, it could have been worse. The Stone needed a host, but supposedly I was the only one who could do it.If I didn’t take the Stone back, I could also die from it as well. It had been a toss-up, but the best course of action was to return the Stone to my body. Cyran was a nervous wreck, as was I, but I was doing my best to hide it.I didn’t want him to worry about me more than he had to. As soon as the Stone was returned to my body, he marked me again, making me his mate again. This time, I was happy about it. Since the moment he found me, he ha
Azura-Making my way downstairs, I find Jade and Cyran sitting on the couch. They were in an intense conversation and didn’t seem to realize that I had come downstairs. I thought about alerting them, but something Jade said caught my attention.“They are looking to appoint someone else as King.”“There has never been a time that the council has stepped in to have someone else step into becoming the Dragon King.” Cyran didn’t look happy, but he didn’t look angered either.“I asked them, but they didn’t want to give me a straight answer. When they arrived while you were gone, I thought it was strange. You informed them that you were looking for Azura, but they still came. Your uncle wasn’t with them.”I knew that the one Jade referred to as uncle, was the one he contacted to explain the situation. While we were headed home, I asked him if the council had been dealt with. He explained that he contacted an old family friend who had been around since his father was King.“Why come when I a
