CHAPTER 5 – Danger  

I

Princess Shelyca was in total shock when creatures of half-human and half-horse holding their swords appeared before her very eyes. She screamed, destroying the peace of every living thing inside the forest.

The Centaurs laughed so loud when they saw the fear in their beautiful prey.

Dareon without other recourse shifted into his Dragon form. If he will not do it, he might be late and might fail to save the Lycan Princess. 

“Did you hear that?” One of the Centaurs stopped laughing then tried his sense of hearing to ignite. 

“What?” The other Centaurs retorted. 

“I can hear strong flipping of wings.” Then the Centaurs eyes grew big.

“Dragon! A dragon is coming.” Fear overflows the expressions of the two Centaurs.

“Grab the woman now and let’s run!” Shouting, the other Centaur urgently ordered his companion.

“Where is the woman?!” Frantic, the Centaurs were surprised to know that their pretty prey was able to escape that fast.

Princess Shelyca was already running fast, now in her wolf form. Sheenei is controlling her now, who immediately took over when she sensed that Shelyca was in danger. Princess Shelyca was able to shift into her wolf form without being noticed by the Centaurs, who were busy fearing for the Dragon.

The Dragon Dareon saw the two Centaurs who were about to run. As he scanned the premises, he was not able to see the Lycan Princess, not even her shadow. However, from a distance he noticed a white shining wolf, running fast.

Dareon blew his fire first unto the two Centaurs, who by just seconds became ashes when they were hit by his fire. He then flew fast, following the shining white wolf. He can guess that the Lycan Princess was able to shift into her wolf form before the two Centaurs could harm her. He smiled, mesmerized by the shining white wolf running speedily into the woods. He flew faster going far ahead from the white wolf. Then he landed down unto the ground.

When the smoke disappeared, Dareon’s human form once again came into light. He then waited for the white, shining wolf to appear in his front. He already cast his dragon spell that would bring the she-wolf’s feet into his place.

Minutes thereafter, Shelyca, under Sheenei’s form, was brought by her running feet into the very place where the man she was looking for, was standing like the mighty Apollo.

Dareon opened his palm, kneeled down and touched the white soft furs on the head of Sheenei. “Even in your wolf form, you are so lovely, my Lycan Princess,” he murmured. Sheenei almost wobbled by the touch of Dareon, more so when she heard what he murmured. A certain feeling of hotness overflowed the whole body of Sheenei. She wiggled her tail to the delight of Dareon.

“Come on my Princess, shift now into your pretty human form, unless you want some hunters here to see you.” Dareon whispered again.”

With that, Sheenei shifted into her human form and Princess Shelyca took over. 

“Oh my gosh!” Princess Shelyca exclaimed as she found herself bare in front of Dareon. She did not know what part of her body she would put her hands on to cover. 

Suddenly, Princess Shelyca noticed the changes in Dareon eye’s color. Nowhere could she see those bluish eyes in him. His eyes now are in its deep seated brown, so mesmerized while gazing into her naked body.

Princess Shelyca felt an immeasurable type of heat in her very core as Dareon’s eyes glared from her bosom down to her core, as if caressing them by his hands.

Dareon feared that he might not be able to control himself and take the Lycan Princess, there and then. He made a swift move. He immediately removed his brown vest made of tiger’s skin and wrapped it around Shelyca. Unlike Shelyca, Dareon, as a powerful dragon, could do such magic that when he transformed into his human form, his former clothing would still be cladding into his body, as if nothing happened.

“Thank you.” Shyly, Shelyca murmured. With Dareon’s large vest, it almost covers her body from shoulders to half of her legs.

“Why are you here?” Dareon asked, looking at her while holding her face with his two big hands.

Shelyca looked at Dareon and to her amazement; she could see now again his beautiful bluish eyes. “I…I was looking for you,” she replied almost stammering.

“Why? You missed me? I was just away for a couple of minutes, I guess.” He replied teasingly, while gently caressing Shelyca’s face by the back of his right hand, while his left hand is cupping her chin.

Princess Shelyca could not understand why she could not resist his advantages. She is melting whenever he touches her. “I need to talk to you. I need your help,” shaking her head, she retorted to him.

“Hmm, would you want us to return home first before we discuss whatever you wanted to tell me?” with eyes still having that teasing sparks, Dareon suggested, to which Princess Shelyca agreed. 

“Yes, let’s go then,” she murmured, agreeing to Dareon.

Some of the Thregonad people were looking at them when they returned to the village with Shelyca only wearing the large vest of Dareon. Some men even smiled while some young women giggled. 

“Hmmm, our Dragon Master seemed to have found a beautiful mistress,” said one of the Thregonad ladies; her name is Duri.

“She will remain as his mistress because I am going to be the wife of our Master Dragon.” That confident words came from Threma; the daughter of one of the strongest warriors of Thregonad Village. 

“Threma, your really dreamed of becoming our Master Dragon’s Wife? But he never even chose you as one of her bed warmers.”  Duri with wide eye replied to Threma.

“Do not underestimate me Duri; just watch and one of these days my dreams will come true. I will be his wife, not his mere bed warmer.” Threma vowed with conviction.
