Mallory The very next day, I went to see my sister. I could run away from anyone and anything, my pain and fear—which were always coming back for me—but I couldn’t run away from Kemy. I had to bring her back, and save my little sister this time. Alessia roared with determination within my soul and I knew that we would put our own pain, our scarred heart aside to take care of Kemy, to give her our love and wake her up. “You will be back, Little Sister,” I muttered under my breath. I entered the room and took a seat by her bed, taking her hand in mine and squeezing it gently. My gaze roamed around Kemy’s pale but serene face. It seemed like she was indeed dreaming rather than having nightmares. I sighed in relief as she didn’t seem to be suffering. But she was dreaming for way too long, it was time to live, to come back to me and to this new family who welcomed us with open arms. Somehow, Daniel’s brief words had a much stronger effect on me that I could ever imagine, he restored
Henry “Niki, baby, get inside and ask Marion to teleport you all away. There is an insane mutt here!”He told the little witch as she looked between us, startled, pale, wide-eyed, I could hear her ragged breath. “You know that we won’t ever leave you, hot pants!” she replied after gulping hard. “He’s just one dog, I can put him down with ease.”While he was distracted talking to her, I ran through the door full-speed passing by the witch and making her lose balance and almost fall. My mate was all that mattered, and I knew she was in that room.When I entered the bedroom, my gaze fell immediately on her sleeping form. I didn’t need to look at her eyes to know she was mine; I was drawn to her, attracted by a magnetic, overwhelming force.“Mine!” Knight and I claimed in unison, our voice deep, guttural, coming from a primal place within my soul. I passed by a startled blond she-dragon and scooped my mate in my arms, sniffing her beautiful locks of light brown hair and breathing her
HenryI stood up and cleaned the sand off from my clothes after the f*cking reptiles shoved me onto the sand and teleported away, like cowards. It will have a payback! “If they hadn't used that toxic smoke, I would have shifted and shown them to their place!” Knight growled in rage, he was about to take control and shift in the middle of the beach, surrounded by humans when I pulled the lash of control and stopped him. “I have to go back there! Sniff her again, groom her,” he barked. He wanted to tend to his mate, as I did. It was only natural. “She was sleeping, Henry. Hell was breaking loose and she didn’t wake up, she didn’t even make a sound, she was like a still and beautiful statue. There is something wrong with her, maybe she is sick and that’s why her wolf… her reptile reached to me. We have to help her, now! I am sure that she will wake up, if I shift and groom her, I will lick her face, nuzzle her neck until she feels better again!” I exhaled sharply and rubbed my hands
HenryJust after I laid my head on the pillow of my rented hotel room in Marbella, I was pretty much sucked into a dream. I was in the meadow once again, walking in Knight’s form, but this time to my surprise it wasn’t empty, I could see something on the grass away from us. Neither Knight nor I could distinguish what it was, but we felt attracted to it. “I hope it isn’t a squirrel!” I told Knight, I knew he would feel drawn to them, but not to such an extent. It was calling for him and for me too, deeply, almost achingly. Knight ran in the direction of it and squinted his eyes, and soon we were able to distinguish the outline of the brown head on the grass. That was when her smell assaulted my scents. Amber and Lavender. The smell I loved and dreaded the most, my mate’s scent. Knight ran towards her and I knew that nothing could stop him, his paws were carrying him on their own accord. We both felt the urgent need to be close to her. She sat up and looked in our direction, her b
AlmaI took a deep breath just as Marion did, and I entered the room. I took a seat by Egan’s side and he squeezed my hand in reassurance. “We will protect Kemy, Little Ruby. You have nothing to worry about and you shouldn’t stress yourself out,” he said looking between my face and my double-baby bump, His voice was serene and full of certainty. He cleared his throat, attracting everyone’s attention. “We have to investigate that werewolf, find out from which pack he comes from and what are his intentions. He is her mate, he surely will come back for her. I fear he only wants to use her and will end up hurting her even further, which could be fatal due to her vulnerable state. But we won’t let it happen,” Egan’s voice was laced with protectiveness and determination. He would do anything to protect our clan, as he always did. “If he even dares to think about touching a single strand of her hair, I will…” Daniel’s voice was almost feral, he was in full-protecting-my-mate’s-baby-siste
HenryI woke up with a start and sat up immediately, gasping for air. “We have to get back there, get back to her,” I told my wolf. “For you to reject her?” Knight barked in my mind, he was very riled up and seemed like he wanted to pounce at me, if only that was possible. He didn’t want to do it, not now that we saw her, touched her, kissed her. I clenched my eyes shut, she made it very hard for me to reject her; her lips were so soft and she tasted so good. I rubbed the back of my neck and started pacing back and forth around the large bedroom, like a restless animal, a caged wolf. “Knight, I don’t know what to do!” It was hard for me to hesitate so much, it was something that went against my nature. Alphas didn’t hesitate, they either attacked, waited for the prey or retracted, although we mostly attacked. I continued with my pacing, hoping to get somewhere. My body, my soul, all of me was completely drawn to that woman, to that dragon-woman. “F*ck, Knight! I can’t do it and
Henry“What are you doing?” Kemy asked me, her green eyes wide open and her hands on my chest as she tried to regain her balance. “I am dreaming, dreaming with you,” I brushed a lock of chocolate-colored hair off her face and flashed her my best smile, which had never failed me before. My hand roamed from her ribs to her waist and I brought her close gently. Knight released a howl of victory in my head, he was hyper to have her that close, in my arms. I was more than happy too. How could I have ever considered rejecting her? She might be a dragon, but she was mine and she would always remain that way. “Slow down, dude!” she exclaimed, sitting up abruptly and narrowing her eyes at me. A grin formed on my lips; she was indeed full of surprises, I never thought that my blushing mate could be so assertive.“She has to have an alpha attitude to be our match, Henry. And it’s so sexy!” Knight added. He was right, she was f*cking sexy. “Let’s enjoy it, it’s just a dream even though it fee
KemyMy hope was doomed. My sister wasn’t around and I probably was the only Golden Dragon alive, I didn’t have a home to return to. Tears of mourning and desperation burned in my eyes. I hurt for my past, the past of my kind and for my future. A soft sigh left me, Ember’s attempt to contact the red-head lady was in vain. I tried to calm down and stop crying, I had to be strong for Ember and for myself. For so long it had been only the two of us, and I knew we could do it; we could be enough. Ember whined, and I knew well what she meant: we could be the last Golden Dragon and had lost our family and our people, but we have him, Henry. And of course, Knight too, our knight in the shining fur. Maybe he couldn’t save me, or maybe he is already saving me for all I wanted was to stay in his arms.I sighed and snuggled further into his embrace, being close to him gives me some peace and some comfort in the middle of my pain and dread. It made me not want to give up reality and sink dee
