We had arrived at the exact location and left the vans on the other side of the thick grove of trees and we silently made our way forward. Rev had looked up and smiled and I realized what he was thinking. I nodded to him and we started climbing.We sat in the branches of the trees hidden from view and we watched as four SUV’s made their way to the location spot. These were obviously the buyers but we couldn’t be sure since nobody made an effort to climb out of their cars.We waited another fifteen minutes before we saw a van similar to ours drive up. It circled the four other vehicles and then parked in the middle. The driver and passenger doors opened simultaneously and two men climbed out surveying the area.“Let’s get this over with,” the first man said loudly. I didn’t know his face and I wasn’t sure if he was McIntyre or not. We waited patiently for the buyers to climb out and the side door of the van opened. The other cars had switched off their lights and I saw that Rev had alr

“I’ll be heading to Louisville with Kimberley a bit later,” Brandon said as he sat on the couch in my office.“That was fast,” I said and he smiled.“She’s dragonkin so that helps and she feels what I feel, she’s eighteen and her father’s a warrior,” he said.“I’m really happy for you,” I said as he leaned back and looked at me intently.“What’s going on with you and your half?” he asked me.“What do you mean?” I asked him.“Please Lucas, you’d have to be a moron to miss the tension between you two,” he said.“It’s complicated,” I said to him.“Not really man, you two are bonded, sort out whatever the problem is,” he said.“Did Kimberley tell you her story?” I asked him changing the subject.“She did, they grabbed her in the parking lot of a mall, but she wasn’t harmed aside from a virginity test,” he said.“You’re wasting no time in claiming her,” I said to him and he laughed.“I’m not letting her go. I’ll escort her home, meet her parents, speak to the Sire and take her back with me

The next three weeks passed by in a relative blur but Rylee and I could talk to each other in a civil manner although she didn’t come back to our room and we didn’t talk about anything that really mattered unless it was lair business.The other three girls had been reunited with their families and Nadia had accepted our offer to stay in the guest house and work with Tessa. She had expanded her network and she took in women from other lairs that were being abused or needed a place to stay until they could get back on their feet.I mostly ignored the Elders and I had Hannah talk to them when we needed to make claims on behalf of these women that we took in. Rylee had seemed to settle her differences with Tessa and she was very involved in the happenings at the guest house.Brandon had phoned to let me know that Kimberley had spent a week at home with her parents and family and everyone loved him. She had gone back to Wisconsin with him and she had settled into his house. His mother was

The wedding was elegant and not too long. Cindy looked beautiful and I could see she was truly happy. Marcus was beaming and he couldn’t take his eyes off her. I wished things were like that with me and Rylee, but life happens right and the shit gets beaten out of you around every corner.“Congratulations you two crazy kids,” I said as Marcus and Cindy made their way over to us.“I’m pretty sure I’m older than you Lucas,” Marcus said as we laughed.“You are positively glowing Cindy,” I said to her.“Well that might be because I’m pregnant,” she whispered.“What? That’s great news!” I said and shook Marcus’s hand again.“Lucas is right, you look really beautiful,” Rylee said as she and Cindy hugged briefly.“So do you! That dress is just stunning,” Cindy said.“It might not survive the night,” I said and Rylee slapped my arm as she glared at me.“I agree that wedding dress is going to be ripped off soon,” Marcus said.“Don’t you dare,” Cindy threatened him.We spent the evening making

I picked up my phone and called my best friend as I walked back to my office. I needed some down time right about now and although he probably wasn’t the best person to give me advice, he was the only one that would be brutally honest with me.“Hello,” he answered on the second ring.“I’m fucking screwed,” I said.“What else is new, what did you do this time?” Jasper asked me with a laugh.“Not over the phone, where are you?” I asked him.“At some hotel but I can meet you wherever,” he said.“I’ll be at that bar in an hour, you know the place where we had our first fight?” I said to him.“Man that was a fun night, see you soon,” he said and I ended the call.I grabbed my jacket and keys and headed outside to my car. I needed to get away before I did something stupid. I took my anger out on the road and I made it to Chicago in just under an hour. I sat down at the counter of the bar and ordered two drinks before taking a table in the back.“I see you started without me,” Jasper said as

I avoided talking to Rylee about the pregnancy and when she brought it up I changed the subject and after a while she stopped mentioning it. The blood tests confirmed she was four weeks along and I still had no idea how to process it.Days turned to another few weeks as I met Jasper once a week either in Chicago or at The Drake. We would drink and he would chase women as I drank some more. Some nights I went home and other nights I didn’t and Rylee never asked me what I did or where I went. I usually ended up sleeping on the couch in my office.My phone woke me at three am one morning just as I had fallen asleep on the couch in my office at The Drake and I sat up reluctantly and looked at the caller ID. I answered it hastily as I saw his name flash on the screen.“Timothy,” I said.“Hey,” he breathed sounding excited.“What’s going on?” I asked him.“The site’s active but it’s very hush hush almost nothing is being said on the main screen, instead it’s asking buyers to verify their id
I am the dragon Chapter Forty-Eight
I hadn’t made it further than the living room couch not wanting to see Rylee so I slept downstairs and regretted it in the morning. Baz still had me on ignore and I saw Rev on the other couch still asleep. I remembered then that Hannah had gone to visit her friend and he had probably gone out drinking.“Wake up,” I said as I kicked his leg and he sat up straight.“What time is it?” he asked me.“Nine am already,” I said to him. I couldn’t believe that we had slept that long or that Martha never woke us for breakfast.“Shit,” he muttered and stood up.“I’m going to go shower,” I said and headed up to my room.Rylee wasn’t there and I was thankful as I showered and dressed. I found Rev in the hallway and we made our way downstairs to the dining room and sat down as Martha looked sternly at us. Preston joined us after ten minutes still yawning.“Nice night out?” I asked and he grimaced.“My head’s still pounding,” he said.“You drink like a girl,” Rev said and I laughed.“I’m not keeping
I am the dragon Chapter Forty-Nine
I was worried, very, very worried. Nobody had been able to reach Hannah for two days and Rev looked like a walking corpse. We had tracked down her friend Michelle, who hadn’t heard from her in a month and she confirmed that Hannah had no plans to come and visit her. Hannah had lied to us and Rev swore that nothing had happened between them that would make Hannah leave. I believed him.“Where would she go?” I asked Rev as he sat on the couch looking like death.“I don’t know Lucas,” he said to me honestly.“She looked fine when I talked to her and she told me to my face she was going to visit Michelle,” I said to him.“Same here, she was herself,” he said to me.“We found her car!” Preston yelled as he barged into the office and Rev and I both jumped up.“Where?” Rev asked.“In lower Aurora,” he said.“The fuck,” Rev said.“Why would she go there?” I asked feeling confused.“Lucas! Lucas!” I heard Timothy yelling.“Timothy?” I asked as he also barged into my office looking like he’d se
