Fiona My fingers ran through Levi's chest hair as I lightly traced the tattoos that decorated his skin. Lying next to him and feeling the warmth of his body against my own as I listened to the sound of his beating heart helped to ease my mind. And lately, I have needed that more than ever. I thought that life had finally calmed down after everything that had happened. Things seemed like they were on the right track for a change. Fairies had more freedom than we ever had before, females had more respect than ever, and I was able to stop pretending to be someone I wasn't. Dragons were now living peacefully with those they loved, whether it be their chosen or their fated. Levi, Fafnir, Tiamat, and Quetzalcoatl shared the responsibilities of being not only dragon deities but also the new elders. They balanced each other out while also keeping one another in check. However, I have to admit that their mates play a big role in the last part. I had sent all of my female warriors out

Rieka When everything stopped spinning, Darcy and I were back in the living room, still in the same positions we were in before I took us back to see what exactly had happened that morning. Sylvia continued to comfort Darcy as I quickly stood up and spun around to confront Luke. "Do tell me, what's so fucking urgent that you had to interrupt?! I wasn't finished finding out-" "Yeah, you were," Luke said as he crossed his arms over his chest and raised a challenging, yet cocky, eyebrow. "And judging by the looks that your friends are giving you right now, it's a good thing I intervened. You know, you really should be more appreciative-" "Get to the point, Luke!" I impatiently demanded, with more irritation in my tone than I actually intended. Luke smiled briefly, knowing that he had struck a nerve, but the smile didn't last long at all. "The Earth is slowly overheating ....." My eyes widened as everyone in the room sent accusing glances in my direction. "Oh, no! It isn't me!

Isabella Aiden, Lian, Cole, Sophia, Harlee, Jay, Mia, Damian, and I were the only ones left at the Raven Sanitarium. It was eerily quiet, and I took a brief moment to close my eyes and let out a sigh before placing a box in the back of one of the SUVs. What exactly has the world become? People are so full of hatred and jealousy, living to relish in someone else's misery and defeat, thriving off of drama and negativity, hoping to see others fail. I never would have thought a day would come when Mia and I would have to evacuate the coven because of humans, yet here we are, quickly packing what little belongings we could and running away to hide what we are. Over the years, our kind has faced many obstacles. When you age slowly, drink blood, and are hard to kill, it doesn't matter how often you change your looks, your name, where you live .... you're bound to find yourself on someone's radar. Vampires have been feared, worshiped, hated, experimented on, and killed. But now humans'

Rieka Robert's breathing was faint as his wolf fought desperately to hold onto life. If it weren't for Brody, Robert would have been dead long ago, but he was still breathing .... there was still hope. Sylvia carefully removed the bullets with magic as Seth, Sam, and I healed Robert's wounds. Robert had been through so much in his life, and I refused to let him die, especially at the hands of hunters. The moment Brody sacrificed himself so that Robert could continue to live was like an icepick to our hearts. It was a feeling Sam was all too familiar with, and one I would never forget. The fact that his wolf drained his existence fighting to keep Robert going just long enough for the possibility of being saved, then sacrificed his soul so that Robert could live is a testament to the bond we share with our wolves and the devotion that they have to us. Jo had linked Kaj and Delilah, asking them to come over as soon as possible and stay at the pack house to be here when Robert wak

Aurora I grabbed Falco's hand and laced my fingers in with his as I started to lead him towards our bedroom. I knew how bad this all was. Hunters aren't involved unless shit is about to hit the fan. And I NEEDED to be more than I was for what was coming our way. But once we reached the top of the staircase, away from everyone else, Falco stopped dead in his tracks. I turned around and stared into his blue eyes, giving him a frustrated and impatient look. "Falco .... " Falco shook his head, his brows furrowed with emotion. "No. I need to-" I squeezed his hand tightly, letting him know that I wasn't fucking around. "Falco, you need to come with me. NOW. Contrary to what the fuck you think I want, this IS important! There are plenty of warriors guarding the perimeter, and I'm sure that Tyler has everything under control right now, being that he is still the lead warrior and all. Plus, Darcy teleported here, so no one is on their trail just yet ....." Falco attempted to pull his

Harlee Time ticked by, and it seemed like the city was becoming more undone as each tomorrow became today's yesterday. That craziness quickly spread to other towns and cities as protests and riots popped up more frequently, keeping police officers and first responders going non-stop. I couldn't help but wonder how Lorne and Cordelia were doing, but Izzy and Mia kept assuring me that staying hidden was for my best interest. Something that I had to keep repeating over and over in my head so that I wouldn't go insane. I wandered around the quiet castle, taking in everything that I could while I was here. It really was a beautiful old building, and the simple modern renovations were a perfect fit. I wondered what the old stone walls would reveal if they could speak. Eventually, I found myself sitting at the old, large wooden table in the kitchen, staring at the painting of a thin, elderly couple that hung above the fireplace. It had a very American Gothic vibe to it, only ..... ha

FionaI felt like a child in a classroom as we all looked at the two gray-haired women standing before us. Their combined aura was more intimidating than I cared to admit. I got the impression that Anne was much older than Aisling, despite looking like she was the younger of the two."I'll make this as short as possible, as I have somewhere else I'm needed that's honestly a lot more important than being here, explaining things to you .....""Short, but obviously not sweet," Dhara quipped from Matthew's lap with a smirk as Sharia and Maya giggled.My eyes widened as they went from Anne, to Dhara, and back to Anne again."Just like your mother, aren't you?" Anne asked as she glared at Dhara.Aisling rolled her eyes, clicking her tongue in irritation. "You all just need to shut up for once and listen to Anne. She knows more than all of you put together. It wouldn't exactly hurt you to have a mentor of her standards."Anne smiled as Dhara's face fell. "Aisling and I have known each other f

FionaThe air was eerily quiet around us as the sun set in the background, making the sky look like it was angry, or possibly embarrassed. I honestly couldn't tell which.It was as if nature itself knew the severity of what I had just done, and was shocked into silence. Not a tweet from a bird, a bark from a squirrel, nor a rustle of leaves from the wind, as there wasn't even a slight breeze. I couldn't even hear the water splash from Seneca Lake. It was like everything stopped to contemplate the meaning of life. After I swallowed the scratchy lump that had formed in my throat, I opened my mouth to speak, my voice hoarse thanks to the fire that had escaped it. "Why don't you all go home and try to relax for the night. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for showing up and supporting me. The others and I have a lot to discuss and try to figure out."As if the Earth's silence became their own, the group of water fairies that stood behind me quietly dispersed.I turned around and

Senora The burning lava substance made it's way towards Aisling, as screams from the crowd filled the air around us, a combination of shock, fear, and anger as to what they were seeing of their elders.Rieka immediately stepped between Aisling and the burning material, stopping it with her powers."A little help would be nice!" Rieka yelled as she pushed her feet into the dirt to brace herself.You know how they say everything was in slow motion? Well, it wasn't. I didn't even have a chance to react as I watched from the porch, a mixture of emotions coursing through my body. I was completely clueless about how to react, and if it wasn't for Rieka ...."Colton, what the fuck are we supposed to do?! They're our elders!"Colton turned and looked at me with an equally confused and shocked expression. "You're asking me?! The fuck if I know!"Cerulean shook his head. "Rhi is the only one of us that can actually stop them without fighting them .....""We fu.cking SHOULD be fucking fighting t

FionaThe events that took place were all just a little too surreal. I was still having a hard time believing that the six dragon elders simply washed their hands of their long-standing duties, leaving the deities in complete charge of their hemispheres. But I suppose when you've gone so long living a lie about things that you stopped believing in, and losing children because of those things, you stop caring. Funny how the fear to stand up for what's right leaves one's mind once others are willing to do the same.The elder dragons all made their way back to their homes to take care of business, while the rest of us did the same. Once we were just a few hours from home, we decided to rent an SUV big enough to seat the seven of us comfortably and drive the rest of the way back. It was simply easier than trying to fly into the city as exhausted as we were.I was honestly enjoying the ride as I leaned onto Levi and he wrapped his arm around me. Everything finally felt .... right.Rhi's voi

Beckett"Trust me," Joseline said.Two simple words. For years, the fairies didn't trust the dragons. To be honest, we never really even had much to do with them. Whenever there was a ceremony held, everyone was invited out of courtesy, nothing more.But now the twist of fate has ripped the door of change off of its hinges, allowing things to happen that were never allowed to happen before. Changes that should have been allowed to take place so long ago, but couldn't thanks to a few of the close-minded, power-hungry, and arrogant elders in power. That, mixed with the fear that many had to stand up to do what's right.This is what happens when we allow others to have the power to be in control for so long. When one tries to force others to think, feel, and believe what they do, they no longer care about anyone other than themselves. Mix it in with a fear of what they don't understand and anger about what they don't agree with, and it creates hatred that shouldn't be. A hate that those i

FionaThe Andes, Copahue volcano to be specific. Of course, we would have to travel a ridiculous distance away from home and that puke would go to his own hemisphere. We all knew Glaurung would, it was just a matter of him tiring himself out enough to make a mistake and alert Fafnir of his general location. Despite the reason we were here, and the fact that we were bouncing around in one of the Avtoros Shaman 8x8s that Fafnir insisted on buying, I still appreciated nature's beauty as I looked out the window. It was raining, after all. What more could I ask for?In true fashion, I pissed off those who I instructed to stay behind when I told them that they had to watch over things in my absence, which went over as well as accidentally using super glue instead of lube on your privates.I can understand their frustration. Honestly, I can. Whereas I told them it wasn't their fight, it's really not my fight either, and yet here I am. I couldn't risk my fairies' lives for this, and I really p
