The sky upwards was decorated by the beauty of the full moon. It sparkled like diamond jewelry worn by the richest woman on earth. And rightfully so.It was the percent time. The time I had looked forward to. The time Christine could not keep shut about. It was the shifting ceremony after all.Alpha Xavier and Zack stood side by side in front of the young kids, amongst whom were Liv and Andy. My Dad stood a few feet away from the Alpha with his usual stern expression, although I could see the pride in his eyes when he looked at Liv's direction. She looked at him and smiled a bit, although the fear in her eyes was apparent. She turned her gaze to me and I grinned encouragingly at her."You got this," I mouthed.Andy seemed less nervous though. He glanced sideways at her and nudged her a bit. She looked at him and he nodded. That brought a bit of a smile to her face.Alpha Xavier stepped f

I bobbed my head to the lyrics of the song. A song I had replayed for over twenty times. It was the same song that I heard in that restaurant where Quinn had taken me to that day. Of course after I had gotten home and done a lot of narration to Christine, eaten and showered, the next thing I did was to download the tune. There was something about old music, especially the one you heard as a child. The older it got, the more valuable it became. Sort of like an old friend that stayed beside you till eternity. I glanced at my clock. I had a few hours before I got to work.I moved to the living room and danced along with the beat. It so befitting how one event can make one reminisce a song over and over again. The song was a treasure now. The fact that Quinn knew it made it so. My mind flashed back to the moment when we both sang to it that day. I couldn't help the warmth that crept to my cheeks. We were so in synch. The only thing that remained was an audienc

For the first time in days, I had the best sleep of my life. No nightmares. I sent a silent prayer that this would be my situation for the rest of my life.I made to move but discovered to my slight shock that was in a tight hold. Quinn's arm was around my waist close to my breasts. So dangerously close that if he moved them up just a few inches more, he could cup them. I blushed as I felt his breathing on my shoulder.I had to move fast. The pack would be worried and I had to clear the erotic ideas that were dancing in my head. I had to formulate an excuse in my head in my head instead of thinking Quinn's cock currently pressing against my ass.Slowly, I untangled myself from his arms and got up. I got the time to look at him. Goddess, even in his rough state of sleep he was gorgeous. I would never tell him to inflate his already large ego. The only thing larger than that ego being the instrument between his legs

As the torrents of water from the shower head hit my skin, I pursed my lips and a moan of satisfaction left my lips. For a scruffy guy like Quinn, he had good tastes. And for an uninspiring looking cabin from outside, the inside was as cozy as one would expect. I was almost tempted to say it but I could sleep in the bathroom for eternity. It was almost as good as that of an hotel's.But all that aside, I had bigger things to consider. How the fuck did I agree to let my wolf win? I was supposed to be home by now, getting ready for work. Instead, here I was taking a shower for the second time running in Quinn's place. The wolves in my pack would have a fit of this was to be discovered. What really irked me was the fact I didn't really care. I didn't understand this new side of myself. It was rebellious and it felt so delicious.I suddenly felt a strange urge. It was like a small jolt of electricity. And then I felt another thing. A slight ting

If I expected a fancy restaurant to be the place for an impromptu date, I was swiftly proven wrong. As soon as Quinn opened the door and I entered, my mouth nearly fell to the ground.It was goddamn crowded. I should have made mention of it to Quinn that I didn't like crowds. Especially of strangers. Something about it seemed like I was vulnerable and every weakness I ever had would be accessed.The eyes on the people on me felt a bit intimidating. Especially the gazes of the men. I almost melted to the ground in fright until I felt Quinn put his arms around me. I flinched a bit and glanced at him. His eyes weren't on me, but giving heated glares around warning the onlookers to keep their gazes elsewhere and yet daring anyone to start something they might regret. I couldn't feel but feel my fear vanish and being replaced with giddiness. Hopefully, no one could spot the pink in my cheeks if it became possible to be visible. 

"I'm sorry, Gwen, but you are not allowed to pass."I stared in disbelief at the two guards that blocked the pathway to the gate that led to the exit of the bayou.I hadn't gotten a goddamn break throughout the previous day as I had been burdened with schedules. What had followed next added to the mental turmoil that was happening in my mind.That annoying nightmare was back. This time it was even darker than the previous ones and as usual it ended the same way. The demise of the little boy and his parents. I needed a reprieve. Christine would not be of any help and her grandfather might try to get into my head. If that happened, I would risk revealing my involvement with the rogue. I decided a little walk would not hurt. Unfortunately, the security guards did not seem to share my view."Oh, you can't be serious!" I said, placing my hands on my hips and glaring heatedly at them.

"This is bad! This is bad!"I paced to and fro, clutching my head like I was waiting for the results of a test I didn't study for. Unlike the rest of the people of the kingdom who were in high spirits, Ramon's birthday was a disaster to me. After the Queen's combat had ended, I had not been able to think straight. Not even when Ramon had tried to put my mind at ease and get me to participate in the entertainment that followed the feast.I acknowledged and respected that it was his special day, but the fact that I had sent someone to the infirmary dampened my spirits and did little to ease the tension in my soul.Ramon's gaze followed my movements like a homing beacon, an amused smile plastered on his face."If you do not cease your incessant movements, you will only bring harm to yourself."Pausing, I placed my hands on my hips and sent a stern glare in his direction. "This

A loud cry from the woman who seemed to have the advantage silenced the cheering crowd.Sylvira had backed away from me, clutching at her breasts, her eyes wide like saucers. Surprisingly, she managed the pain well. I needed no soothsayer to tell me how much it hurt, considering how large her boobs were.Using that split opportunity of a temporary freedom I created for myself, I glanced at the stands, from the sea of surprised faces in the crowd to the royal brothers. Ramon and Rothrar shared similar looks. Their mouths hung open, and I swore they looked like cartoon comical twins. I would have exploded into fits of giggles if I wasn't half worried about the outcome of the fight I was going through. Shifting my gaze to Desena, her eyes were as wide as saucers. For some reason, that gave me a boost of confidence. Now she knew that I wasn't to be taken for granted if she ever wanted

~IRENE~Normally I wasn't a fan of the days crawling by. I preferred when time sped up each day so I could look forward to what the next brought.Today was not one of those days.Because it was the king's birthday. And I stood in the midst of a combat arena with the roaring audience above and in front of Sylvira, who looked like she wanted to tear me apart limb from limb.How three weeks had accelerated since the viper incident was a mystery. In each day leading to the buildup, Ramon had assigned special guards to train me in combat. And he partook in extra training sessions after. I had begun to regret not taking judo classes as a kid when I had the chance. Then again, would it have been of any use against a dragon shifter like Sylvira, who definitely had decades or even centur

~RAMON~I settled upon the floor, crossed my legs, and shut my eyes to begin the meditation process.This sacred place, large enough to house thousands of titanic creatures, was the dragon crypt. This place, which was located in the palace underground, was where the souls of the dragon rulers of old dwelled when they passed on. In time, this would be my place. But the manner in which I would enter had not been decided yet.And that was why I sought help from the dragons of old. The growing concern within my heart was beginning to hinder my thoughts.The pyramid of Goras.I had made peace with the fact that I was going to accept Irene for who she was, memories or not. If the stars refused to grant her memories of her past life, that woul

"Brother, what happened?" Rothrar sped towards us as Ramon made the landing on the verandah and set me on my feet. Unsurprisingly, Sylvira wasn't far behind her mate."We were attacked," Ramon replied with a stretch, the cracking of his bones loud for all to hear."Attacked?" Rothrar's eyes widened, and then his gaze moved to the burn on his brother's shoulder. "By what? A desert cobra?""No." Ramon shook his head. "It seemed to me more of a desert viper.""Desert viper?" Sylvira's head tilted in typical fashion. "I have never heard or seen of such."She glanced beside her at Rothrar for emphasis, and he shook his head."No one did," Ramon scoffed. "Until today."

"For the tenth time, Irene, your request is denied. I refuse to summon my dragon." A deep scowl marred Ramon's facial features as he stepped towards the exit of the cave."Come on." I pouted, rushing after him.One would think after a peaceful night of sleep, I would be bright and cheery, with the next thing on my mind being how to return to the kingdom and push forward in the goal of unlocking my powers.That was not the case.After one of the best bathing sessions of my life in the water, my urge to ride a dragon had increased, much to Ramon's growing annoyance."Why are you even adamant on this?" His forehead creased. "I thought we agreed the previous day that it remains to be seen and the time will come."
