Philip I couldn't believe Gary would have the balls to do what he did. After what James told me about his conversation with the Order, it was a no brainer that they were in on it. If not, Gary and Austen couldn't have gotten away with so much. Looking at things unfold, I realised that the lizards were becoming bold. I wanted to go to his house and beat his wife unconscious so he would know exactly how we felt. Now that we were manifesting, no one would dare to trouble us. We were no longer sitting ducks like before, and it was all thanks to Jane. I had suspected that the Order would not want us to ascend since it would end their era of relevance, now it was very obvious. Our plan was simple. We would arrive at the fundraiser as if everything was cool, and then when it was over, follow Gary to his house, deal with him and get our orb from him. Claim Jane, ascend the throne and force Raygon to accept her as queen. Playing by the book did not get us anywhere. It was now time to go rogue
Philip The event went smoothly. We made some pledges for the local orphanage and the youth art club in town. We liked to invest in things like that. Youth empowerment was crucial to keep the city safe from crime and disturbance, so we never hesitated to pump money into such programs. We got up to mingle with the other guests. I did not know when Janes's ex-husband Brad walked to where I was. The look on his face did not look friendly at all. If anything, It looked hostile. Before he approached, I wondered, other than being with Jane, why would he have an angry scowl on his face, then I remembered Jane had called him when the N.B.I arrested her, and we were out of town. He had helped get her stuff and move out of our apartment. I did not want to cause a scene, so I linked James to follow me. I moved to an isolated part of the hall where no one could hear our discussion. I honestly did not want to get into a fight. James and I would have to ignore it with all our might. " O'Connor's!"
Philip. We carefully searched his entire office and the rooms in his five-bedroom home. We found nothing connecting him to the shifter community. Soon we gave up and went to sit in his office. Luckily for us, lizards were not good with scents, so he would not know we were in the place. After two hours, I began to get impatient. I wondered what everyone was still doing at the fundraiser. James called Raya a couple of times, but she did not pick up. We did not have Condalisa's new number. We wanted to find out how Jane was doing. There was a possibility she was up by now. I felt guilty for leaving her to wake up and see strangers but what we were doing was necessary. If we did not stop Gary, he would attempt to take her life again. We can't be following her about the place, Jane deserved freedom. It will get to her when we have to follow her everywhere just to ensure her safety. " Should one of us go back?" I asked James remembering Jane did not like being away from us. " None of us c
Jane I woke up feeling better. There was a red-haired man in the room with me, and he was muttering in a funny language with his eyes close. I wondered how much time had passed since the accident. Then I remembered what happened, and I searched the room for my men. There was no one there. "Where are James and Philip?" I asked, and the man opened his eyes. I screamed so loud that my voice went silent. The man's eyes were blazing fire. The fire went dead, and his eyes were brown, but I could not unsee what I had seen. Someone opened the door to the room, and a middle-aged woman let herself in. She was pale and pretty, and I remembered she was the one that let us into the big building in the middle of the woods. "Hello," She greeted me. " I am Condalisa, and he is Alexi, our healer. You suffered a terrible concussion, but you are alright now. Prince Philip and Prince James will be back soon," She assured me. " Wait, are you two dragons?" I asked, and she frowned, which made me belie
James. We walked to the other street where we parked our car, to head back to the shelter. On our way there, Boris called my spare phone. Philip was driving, so I was free to answer. " Hello," I said, and he sighed. " Where are you?" He asked with a bit of respect which meant he knew we were manifesting. "On the road, why?" I asked him. " I got Gary's confession. I need you to know he would be dealt with accordingly, but we would have to be slow because he is entangled with the human government," he explained. " We will deal with Gary and Austen, with or without the Order. We only wanted you to have it on record because you said our accusations were alleged," I replied, and he was silent. " Thread wisely. I know you and your brother are manifesting, but you cannot rule without subjects," He advised. " A treacherous lizard and dragon cannot be referred to as subjects. And next time you want to know something, ask. Don't go discussing us with the likes of Raya." I warned him, and
Jane I woke up feeling tired. I tried to recollect what happened, but my mind was slow. Soon the memories of what was happening began to rush into my mind, and I started freaking out realising I had been kidnapped. The room was dark, but slowly my eyes got accustomed to the dim light. I was in a cage, and there were chains on my arms and feet. I was afraid. Whoever could do this to me had no value for humanity. I felt like an animal in a cage. I began to tug at the shackles, glad to be alive but scared that my joy might be short-lived. Soon when I realised the chains won't give, I started crying, hoping James and Philip would come to my aid. Someone entered the room and turned on the lights. I looked at him, and to my surprise, it was Doyle Walsh, the same asshole that had attacked me at the resort. I looked at him in disbelief. " You?" I asked, and he smiled at me. " Yes me. I am glad you have a good memory." He said and sighed, " You would anyway, after all, you are a doctor," He
Philip It was time to pay James ex, Raya a visit. I had always known she would be trouble. Often I had heard her try to convince my brother to ascend without me. She tried to convince him that we would never find a mate that would suit both of us. She was wrong. Dragons usually used nature to choose mates. Fire will pair up with water or ice, Earth will pair up with water, Wind only paired up with wind. That was why we could not find a dragon mate because no dragon had two natures. Being with Jane made me realise the paring system was wrong. Here Jane was, an awesome human with no superhuman powers or nature, yet her scent and touch could cool James' fire and warm me up. It was love that made the pairing not nature, and that was why we had a lot of unhappy dragons. With love in the equations, nature wouldn't matter. There would be no restrictions when finding a mate. This rule was something James and I were bound to change when we ascend. Having experienced love with Jane, I believe i
Jane Doyle was a sadistic bastard. After spending hours being tortured by him. I figured he was not going to let me out of there. I still did not understand why he didn't just kill me. If his issue was the brothers, killing me was his best bet. I had repeated the same thing over and over again without changing detail, and I knew it got to him. " String her up," I heard him say, and my heart began to beat fast. " What do you want from me?" I yelled. My body ached from the beating that I had gotten, and I knew he was being careful, yet I felt like I was in hell. He had made vine whip from the plant he grew and had used it on me several times. By now, I had accepted that the brothers wouldn't find me, and I was truly dead. " Are you in love with them?" He asked me with a sinister grin. " Yes," I answered without thinking. There was no point lying about that particular detail. Not everything I told him was a lie. In fact, I told him nothing but the truth, leaving out the hallucination
