I am the dragon II Chapter Twenty-One
I never showed up for dinner that Sunday, Shelley had sent me a text at four pm and I’d met her outside at four thirty. I answered my father’s fifth phone call at nine pm when Shelley had finally left, leaving scratch marks on my back and my legs a little weak.My bed, the sofa and the sideboard in my room had truly been broken in after her visit. Link had said nothing as we ate cereal the next morning and I owed my parents a visit. My mother wasn’t happy and Chase had only laughed when I told him the real reason I had missed dinner.I had my first lair meeting that evening and I was slightly nervous about speaking to all those people that didn’t know me and whom I didn’t know. I had members that I’d never met before and now I’d bombard them with changes and new rules.The lair’s main business aspects comprised of nothing. I was shocked too. Andrew had lived off of taxing his members so much that they were suffering and he was living in luxury. That was one of the first things I was g

“Come in,” I said at the knock on my office door. It’s been two weeks after the general meeting and things haven’t yet calmed down. There were plenty of things that needed my attention and everyday I had people showing up at the office with requests or thank you gifts, members coming to introduce themselves and problems to sort out.“Good morning Sire Ryder, if you’re busy at the moment I can come back,” the woman said as she stood in the doorway.“Not at all, please take a seat,” I said to her.“My name’s Linda Wyatt, my husband used to be the lair doctor,” she introduced herself.“It’s nice to meet you Linda, how can I help you?” I asked her.Link was out in the field, taking meetings with business interests and Megan was at work. She’d hired staff for the house two days after moving in and I was grateful for having her take charge of the house.“Before Andrew died, he was busy investigating my daughter’s disappearance,” she said.“He was? I’m sorry I’ve gone through all his paperwo
I am the dragon II Chapter Twenty-Three
Another week passed by and so far Lucas had no information for me on the missing girls. Even Timothy couldn’t find anything on them because we had nothing to go on. I hated feeling that nothing could be done, I wasn't used to failing.I had just returned from a meeting with the Police Chief and even his file was thin. He remembered the missing girls and I felt like he was hiding something from me. I could feel the disturbance in the house’s aura the moment I closed the front door behind me.“You weren’t invited in,” I said as I stood in the foyer.“Forgive the intrusion, I came only to make the acquaintance of the new Sire,” the voice said from the living room.I heard his footsteps as he walked out of the living room and faced me in the foyer of my house. He was a vampire and I instantly had my defenses up. Abeloth confirmed the evil that radiated from him and he was on tenterhooks as well.“My name is Lucius and I’ve come to discuss the arrangement we’ve had with the previous Sire,”

Megan and I drove in silence as she fiddled with the radio and I tried not to look at her. She looked completely different tonight and for some strange reason I hadn’t liked the idea of her seeing someone. Abeloth was laughing at me and being of no help at all. Why was I jealous? Nothing had ever happened between us and we’d been living together for a few months now.“Megan,” I said and looked over at her.“Ryder,” she said mimicking me as I smiled.“Thank you,” I said to her.“For?” she asked me and frowned.“Everything basically, being my friend, helping me with that body, coming with me tonight,” I said and she smiled.“You’re welcome Ryder,” she said.“Are you serious about this guy?” I asked her.“Alex? I don’t know, we’re still getting to know each other and I want to be sure before I rush into anything,” she said.“That’s good, keep a level head,” I said to her.“What about you?” she asked.“What about me?” I asked her.“Are you keeping a level head?” she asked me and I laughed

Megan pulled me away and led me to a bathroom where she wiped the blood from my face and washed the blood from my hands. She hadn’t said a word and I stood there as she rinsed the blood under the tap from both my knives.“I’ve never seen someone kill a vampire before,” she said softly.“I’ve killed my fair share,” I said to her.“When you were in the unit?” she asked me.“Yes, you kill plenty of everything,” I said as she closed the faucet and dried her hands on a paper towel.“I think we both need a stiff drink,” she said as she took my hand and led me back to the ballroom and straight to the bar.Plenty of Sires wanted to talk to me and Lucas had given them one look before they all left grumbling with my business card in hand. Megan had ordered a bottle of scotch and we both downed our first three drinks.“You’re going to be overrun by Sires wanting to form an alliance with you now,” Lucas said to me as we sat at the bar. Rylee had taken Megan back to our table and she had left relu

I closed my eyes as Abeloth soared high in the sky keeping the cars below him in view. Both of us loved this and we didn’t get enough chances to fly together like this. I saw the lights of the town up ahead and Abeloth circled over the cars once before falling in slightly behind them.I saw where we were heading. There was a large house slightly up an incline away from the town and I knew that was our final destination. I readied my bow and arrow and sat up straight on Abeloth’s back as he swept left towards the house.We made a run overhead as he simply soared not to attract attention to the flapping of his wings and we saw some vampires posted as guards. We had done this so many times that I didn’t need to tell Abeloth what we had to do.“Come in from the west,” I said to him as he changed direction.I raised myself to my knees and pulled the first arrow back in the bow as he swept in lower and I shot four of the vampires in quick succession with the bow. All of them were throat sho
I am the dragon II Chapter Twenty-Seven
After the whole ordeal of my introduction and acceptance as a Sire I was bombarded by unannounced visits, phone calls and emails. Sires from all over sent me gifts and more than a few of them wanted to know if I would train their future Sires to fight vampires.I was kept so busy that I hadn’t seen Megan for four days now. I had received a multitude of alliance offers and business proposals sent my way and I was feeling very out of my depth. Lucas had laughed and put the phone down in my ear when I called him for advice.It also seemed that I had somehow gotten a new nickname and even the Elders had started referring to me as the Hunter. Abeloth loved it and basked in the glory of all the attention we were getting where I hated being put in the spotlight.“Come in,” I said at the knock on the office door.“Morning Sire Ryder,” she said as she opened my door and remained standing in the doorway.“Linda, please come in,” I said as I stood up.Linda proceeded to walk into my office follo
I am the dragon II Chapter Twenty-Eight
Megan was still avoiding me and not answering any of my texts so I stopped. Linda had been a life saver so far and she took complete control of my day to day operations and she had an uncanny knowledge about Sire life, other lairs and how to handle the unwanted ones.I parked my truck in front of their house on the night of the Sire meeting to pick Brenda up. I walked up to their door and rang the doorbell and smiled brightly when she opened the door and invited me inside.“She’ll be right down Sire,” Linda said.“Linda I really thought we were past all this Sire stuff,” I said to her.Brenda came down the stairs and I had to admit she looked really beautiful. I smiled as I looked at her and offered my hand to her as she reached the bottom step of the staircase.“Don’t worry Sire Ryder, you’re not my type,” she said and I laughed.“Please just call me Ryder, and I’m happy to hear that you won’t turn into one of those Sire crazy girls,” I said to her as she smiled.“Drive safe,” Linda
