Thale’s jaw dropped. “Absolutely not. That goes against everything Hereti believed in. He made the stone to control supernatural power, along with protecting humans!”
Fallon’s whole demeanour suddenly changed as he leaned forward sharply, and I shrank backwards. “Don’t lecture me, boy!” Fallon roared. “I know very well what our history is!”
His eyes burned. I knew this was serious. I even sensed Thale stilling. Fallon may act demurely most of the time, but he was clearly dangerous.
“It is not the same as it was back then,” Fallon hissed. “Humans now have the technology to easily kill us, even when we shift. Their weapons could kill us in minutes.”
Alvena piped up again. “Just because you happen to have a human mate Thale, doesn’t mean you suddenly have to protect them. There was a time…”
“Shut up Alvena.” Thale’s tone was threate

I shifted nervously on the bench. I wanted to get up and walk away, but I also wanted to hear what Fallon was going to say. I wondered if it tied into what Alvena had tried to reveal before Thale had interrupted her.Fallon didn’t wait for me to respond to his statement, instead asking me another question. “How is your 17th century history, Sophia?”“Not very good,” I said through tight lips.Fallon’s tutting infuriated me further. “Well, you may want to read up on it, seeing as that was when Thale was born.”Realisation dawned on me. Of course.“Anyway, to give you a brief overview, around the time Thale was in his early twenties, civil war raged in Britain.”I dug through my brain trying to dredge up any history I’d been taught at school and from somewhere I remembered. The battles between the Cavillers and the Roundheads jostling for control of the country. The l

As I opened the French Doors, Thale stood up sharply. “Sophia! You must be freezing, put this on.”He began to take off his suit jack while moving towards me, but I placed my hand out in front of me as a barrier. “Fallon told me about Sola Fide.”I kept my eyes fixed on his expression, watching it fall and darken as my words sank in.A silence descended in the room, so much so I could hear bird song from outside and the light sound of wind rustling the leaves of the trees. As he continued to hold my gaze, I knew that what Fallon had told me was the truth.Finally, he opened his mouth. The words came out cracked. “How much did he tell you?”I took a deep breath moving over to place my hand on the back of a chair to pull it out. The soft touch of velvet meeting my finger tips before I took a seat. “He told me the group murdered humans. They used wars to cover it. He said…” The words

He teased me mercilessly, the head of his cock resting lightly against my most intimate place. I stayed silent, doing everything I could not to move my hips towards him, to take him in like I so badly wanted to do.It was then he began slowly tracing his tip over my clit and down the wet folds, moving with agonising slowness. My lips parted in unbridled pleasure, and he took the opportunity to place his mouth over mine, using his tongue to invade my mouth the same way I wanted his cock in my pussy. It was at this point that I gave up, I kissed him back violently, my breasts swelling as I pushed back against his body, making my legs as wide as possible in the hopes he would enter me.He pulled away. The strain evident on his face. “Say it. Tell me you want me,” he growled once more.“I want you!” I cried, too consumed by him to resist him any longer.It took less than a second for him to push himself inside me, I gaspe

We didn’t have to wait long before we had insight into what Fallon was up to. On the drive back to Ashdown, Thale got a call.“What? You’re fucking kidding me, aren’t you?”I searched his face for a hint of what was happening, the voice on the end just muffled static.“Prepare the transport immediately. We’re on our way.”Thale disconnected the call and leaned over towards Louis. “Change of plan, Louis. Drive us to the port.”“Yes, boss.”Thale turned to me. “Sophia, that was my head guard at the hoard.”It took me a moment to remember what he meant. We hadn’t talked about it in ages.“Your hoard?”Thale nodded, a deep frown upon his face. “Yes. Some alarms have been triggered, and he believes it’s under attack.”“You think Fallon is responsible?”“Yes. I doubt it’s

The water attacked my skin like a thousand blades. I gasped, as shock tore through my body. I choked on the bitter water that entered my mouth, quickly spitting it out. I had to take control. I became aware of shouting behind me, knowing that Jones and Louis would be demanding my return to the boat. I shrugged off the jacket, and left it floating on the surface of the water as and I cut through the ocean with determined strokes. Thank god I knew how to swim. I managed to get a little distance between the boat and me before I heard the expected splash of someone entering the water. Louis would be coming after me. I pushed on. Louis’s weight and muscle-clad frame would slow him down in the water, whereas my slim body would give me an advantage. I kicked violently, dipping my head in and out of the sea to come up for breath. I knew there was every chance I could be taken away from the island by the current, but I had to try. I had to keep going. Occasionally I h

I wanted to stay by Danny’s side so I could question him as soon as he woke up, but Thale refused. I had already pushed him to his limits tonight, and I had no wish to test them further. Instead, I agreed for one of Thale’s men to alert me as soon as Danny woke up.“Try to get some rest. You can sleep here.” Thale’s tone was flat as he showed me to a bedroom.The fortress was exactly how it sounded. A cold metal window-less box. The majority of it appeared to be built underground. This room was no warmer, only a simple wire framed bed shrouded in dark polyester sheets sat within the walls. I noted what looked like a hatch for storage opposite.“What about you? You haven’t slept since yesterday either?”“I’ll be fine. I don’t need as much sleep as humans. Besides, I need to figure out if this was anything to do with Fallon or not.”He was barely looking at me, and I so badly wan

Danny had refused to believe me. That was until he couldn’t get hold of Mack, then I could see the doubt creeping in. Thale still had him in silver shackles, although the look on Danny’s face told me that he barely had any fight left.“How could he do this to me?” I faintly heard Danny mumble.I didn’t respond. I was too busy pacing up and down the room, waiting for news of what we were going to do next. Louis had been gone for over 30 minutes. I would have expected them to have come and got me by now. I stopped suddenly. What if they had gone to confront Fallon without me? I would never forgive Thale if they had.“Sophia!”Danny shouting my name made me spin round. “What Danny?”“I was asking you why Mack is working for Fallon.”I bristled with irritation. “Because he’s fucking one of the female dragons, and he thinks they have a better chance at winning than you.

We left Danny alone with Louis so he could talk to Thomas. The plan was to bring him here as soon as possible. I wanted to get Thale away from Danny. He was barely containing his rage and I could feel the tension radiating off him. I also needed to fix this between us. Ever since I had defended Danny from his beating, I could feel Thale slipping away from me. I knew he felt betrayed. I wanted to show him that wasn’t the case. I was his. I would always be his now.“Come back to the bedroom with me.”He raised his eyebrow. “Why?”“Just…please, okay?” I took hold of his hand tracing my thumb over the back of it.He looked at the action, his body stilling. “I don’t think that’s a good idea Sophia. There is too much going on. Don’t you want to focus on that?”I edged towards him. “What I want, is to close this gap between us.” I leaned up, watching him regar
