The Gentle Dragon Chapter 19: Everett
All of the frustration and fear of facing the elves vanishes the moment I hear the alarm go off. Eric is awake, he’s alone, and he’s in my laboratory. Thankfully, Amne left for breakfast early this morning with Kano, but I need to make sure that Elio and Valko aren’t going to get hurt. When I race inside the main house, everyone who wasn’t outside is milling around. “Get to class,” I bark as I race through them. “Dad! Dad, what’s happening?” Ajax calls, rushing in from outside. He and his brothers were there to help protect the school. I turn, seeing the fear on all of their faces, after the threat from the elves this morning. “Eric is awake. I’ll take care of it. There’s nothing to be afraid of. The elves are gone,” I tell them. “Zephyr!” Kaylani calls out to her, racing up behind me. “I’ve got it,” she says and stops, beginning to guide the students back to the dining room or out to classes. I turn my attention back to Eric. I can hear banging and pounding as he must be tryin
The Gentle Dragon Chapter 20: Kaylani
After breakfast, I set Elio and Valko up in the game room. Since Everett isn’t done testing them yet and now he’s going to be busy with Eric, I want to make sure they don’t get bored and into trouble. Yhendorn and Kenna leave for the classes that they teach. Kenna, being the oldest of the young dragons works with the others to strengthen their wings and bodies, training them to be more agile in the air. Yhendorn is working with the individuals who have the earth element. “Kaylani,” Zephyr calls. “Hey, did I hear Avani just land? I didn’t think they were coming until tomorrow.” “He is here. He and Merethyl are going to watch our kittens for us while Ishir and I go look for my egg,” she says and I know my sister well enough to know that she’s terrified that she won’t find it. There are a lot of similarities between the skin of this new dragon and Ancalagon. “Let’s see what you find first. We know that they had Ancalagon’s DNA. It may not be your egg,” I tell her gently. “What if it
The Gentle Dragon Chapter 21: Everett
I watch Kaylani as her finger runs over the DNA strands. She’s so smart, sometimes I forget that she didn’t go to medical school like I did. She has taken to medicine and helping these kids like she was made for it, which of course she wasn’t. A dragon should be in the sky, not on the ground, in a laboratory, pouring over test tubes. But here she is. “I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking at Everett,” she says, turning her head so those sapphire eyes lock onto mine. I get lost in her jeweled eyes, wondering what it would be like to know that she was mine forever. “Everett?” I shake my head, refocusing on Elio. “Hang on, this might help,” I say, clicking a couple more buttons on the computer and then going to stand beside her. “This is Elio’s human DNA,” I say, pointing to the blue strand. I added color so she could see the problem. “This is Tana’s fire dragon strand,” I say, pointing to the broken red DNA strand that attaches in places to Elio's human DNA. “And this is the Lycan
The Gentle Dragon Chapter 22: Kaylani
After meeting Elio, Valko, and Eric, Nova, Naida, and Tesha stayed in the game room with them playing games. I could tell Everett was feeling a strong urge to be near me. I took advantage of the opporunity to please him and taste him. Once I released Everett, having greedily tasted him three times, I had gone in search of Kenna. I wanted her answer to helping Elio before Everett met with him. While I’m gone, Everett plans to meet with Valko and go over his DNA with him. I catch Kenna at the end of her class with the dragons. She bellows at them as they all go flying off with Ancalagon. I watch as Ajax joins them and I see Amne looking at them mournfully, Kano at her side. “You need a class on shifting,” Kenna says walking up to me. “Yeah. I was planning to work with Amne today, but things got hectic.” “No offense, Kaylani, but when aren’t things hectic here?” “True. It does seem to be one thing after another. We’re about to go on break between semesters. The ones who have homes w
The Gentle Dragon Chapter 23: Everett
I knew Elio would be devastated. I felt sick when I saw what I was up against and it's not my body. I just hope that he’ll give me a chance. Kaylani and I explained everything to Yhendorn, helping him to understand why Kenna felt the need to take him away from the school. “I don’t own her. She makes her own decisions, but I won’t say I like seeing her holding the hand of another man. Thank you for explaining it though. At least I understand why she did it. Do you think Kenna’s DNA will work?” “I don’t know. All I can do is try,” I tell him. “If you need mine, you know you have my permission to use it.” “Thank you, I appreciate it.” “Talk to me about Fenian. Has his attitude improved since I spoke to him?” Yhendorn asks. “Yes, actually. He’s a brilliant young man, or elf. He just needs to learn tolerance and understanding. If he can figure that out, he’ll make one hell of a medical professional. He’s got the instinct for it and he’s a quick study,” I tell him. “I’ll talk to him.
The Gentle Dragon Chapter 24: Kaylani
Zephyr’s egg is gone. I can feel the devastation in her and feel Ishir holding on to her mind. “We need to have a meeting with all four dragons and mates,” Ishir tells me as we walk inside. “We may as well include Ancalagon. He’ll be a fully mature dragon this year,” Zephyr adds. As much as Ancalagon has been acting like a moody teenager the last couple of months, he is still the Alpha, and he is the strongest of us all. Not only that, but whatever Oliver did to him gave him all four elements. He’s the most dangerous dragon that has ever been born. If we’re going to find his brother, he needs to be a part of it because it’s very likely that whatever Oliver did to Ancalagon, he did to this baby dragon. Of course, that’s best-case scenario. Oliver did a lot of horrible things to the humans and shifters he experimented on. We can hear Everett soothing Nova about never being alone again just as we walk in. I watch her rush into Ishir’s arms, hugging him tightly. He squeezes her in a hu
The Gentle Dragon Chapter 25: Ancalagon
I heard Ishir telling my mother this morning about the juvenile females that smelled like they had dragon DNA. The dragons are mine, whether they are hybrids born from a dragon and another shifter, or they were created in a laboratory and hatched from an egg, or their DNA has been altered with dragon DNA. It doesn’t matter. They are mine and I am their Alpha. So instead of joining this morning meeting, I went looking for them. While I don’t go on the bigger hunts that Cedric, Ishir and my father go on, I do search for hybrids when I’m out. Sometimes, I catch their scent and usually they run from me. I’ve also come across the scent of the bad hybrids. Their scent is tainted. Rather than dragons, they smell like lizards. Lizards or lions. One smells like my father, and two smell like Tana, but I can tell from their scent that their shifts haven’t gone well. The lizard smell is the same smell that Eric had when he first arrived, but now that Doc is fixing him, he’s started to smell more
The Gentle Dragon Chapter 26: Kaylani
I rushed with Everett into the hospital wing, Fenian right behind us. Elio, Valko and Drakon, hearing the screaming of the girl, Brooke, came rushing to see what was happening. “Give us some space. We think she’s having her first shift,” Everett tells them. “She’s got the same fur I do,” Drakon says. “Yes, that’s why I’m going to use Kaylani’s DNA,” he says, looking at me. The girl has partially shifted and one leg is huge, covered in white fur. Polar bear. I rush to the room where he keeps our DNA ready to inject. Just as I’m rushing back, I hear Zephyr calling out. “Ancalagon said this one was bitten by a shifter who is part Komodo dragon.” Everett looks up from speaking to Brooke. “Komodo dragons are venomous. Fenian, get her set up on that table over there,” he nods before turning back to the girl, holding her head and trying to calm her. The girl, Enya, rushes over. “What are you doing to her?” she asks worriedly. “I’m going to sedate her and then I’m going to layer her DN
