For three days I fume. The first day I spend most of it pacing the room wondering what could have been done to me. I constantly check my breathing and my blood pressure. I monitor the systems of my body look for any change at all. I turned on the television for noise when the silence got to be too much. At night when I dreamt I had the recurring nightmare of becoming a beast and slaughtering an entire village. The second day was much like the first. I awoke in a cold sweat from the nightmare. I had barely touched my food the day before. No one examined me or checked on me. The nurses that visited said nothing. All they did was drop the tray off on the counter and then quickly exit the room. I explored the channels on the television, but nothing held my attention for long. I drifted off to sleep to the same dream as before. There was blood everywhere. Fire burned and body parts flew. It was total chaos and mayhem. On the third day I was starting to go stir crazy being couped up
I take a breath of relief when we exit the cafeteria. Things were getting a bit stiff in there with how everyone in the clan was following our conversation. "This way" I say to him leading him to a spot in the nearby trees that I like. "I'm sorry we had to leave the cafeteria. Dragons can here almost anything from the blood rushing in your veins to the wings of a hummingbird in the distance." I add I like the idea of getting our mate alone. Now you're starting to follow my request. I roll my eyes at my beast. "Is everything alright?" he ask. He must have caught the action and thought it was meant for him. "Yes, I'm just having a talk with my draikaina" I say by reply. "Ah, is she giving you a hard time?" he ask as I sit on one of the boulders. I chose one of the larger ones in this clearing hoping that he might sit next to me. I smile when he takes the hint. "No, not a hard time. We just have different opinions on something" I say as I sit back on my feet. If you would o
I watch her go as she leaves the clearing on the arm of Maximus. I slump against the rock confused at how things went. Everything was going fine. It was actually going better than fine, and I was enjoying the best kiss of my life. Things got heated so fast between us and when she climbed on top of me I felt myself slipping past the point of no return. My cock was harder than the rock that lay beneath us but a part of me needed to make sure that she was okay where things were heading. I broke the kiss to make sure she knew what she was doing because she had been so shocked when I first put my tongue in her mouth. Her movements were so innocent and tentative that I didn't want her to feel rushed. However, when I broke the kiss Magma was nowhere to be seen. All I saw was the eyes of her beast and our actions felt wrong. I remember grabbing her waist to try to halt the kiss when a strange look crossed her face. "Mine" She said in a deeper voice than her normally breathy tone. Then h
As I fly I try to find a reason my dragon would make me kill my mate. At the thought she throw herself against the roof of the maze and causes another crack to appear. I know that soon she will break out. I just have to hope that when she does she won't try to take over. There is no way I am letting her get anywhere near our mate. I bank to head back home as I start to feel fatigued. Normally even when I fly without her I can make it more than ten miles away from the clan. For some reason, her anger has left me even more drained, and I am forced to turn back half through. She bangs once more against the enclosure, and I know that I have moments left before it shatters completely. I lower toward the trees wanting to land away from clan lands in case she has a temper. After a quick journey back I land about a mile away from the entrance to our clan in the forest. I rapidly shift back just as she escapes. Go to out mate. Now! He will need us. We need to be with him. "No, I wil
When door pushes open my head whips to the side in excitement. My blood rushes and the heat in my body gives a heady wave when I think she has finally come to me. I sag against the bed in sadness when I realize it is just Maximus returning with the doctor. He stays by the door as she comes toward me. She pushes the classes up on her sharp nose and places a hand on hip. "He tells me you are experiencing some new symptoms and I have come to see them for myself" she states as she takes gloves from her pocket.I glare at him over her shoulder. "I told him I was fine. There are no new symptoms. You can go out the same way you came" I growl gesturing for her to leave the room as I turn back to the television.She makes a tsking sound and approaches the bed. Having her near me is not what I want at the moment. I slide over to the other side of the bed so I am as far from her as I can get. "Just let me have a look and I will leave sooner" she suggest."Fine" I say as I look at the t.v. Then
When I open my eyes I have to blink several times as my eyes adjust. I look around the room and realize that I am at the clinic. As I raise my head the weight across my midriff tightens. I look down and pause when I see it's an arm. Without seeing his face I know who the arm belongs to. The air around me is filled with the spiced scent that could only belong to Igneous. I sigh in contentment at its smell.I close my eyes and concentrate on the heat of him at my back. The hair on the side of my face slowly flows as his warm breath hits it. I can hear his quiet, rhythmic breathing and know that he must be asleep. I wonder how we ended up here and why he's in the bed with me? The images from the day before start to flow through my mind. I see how my body heated when he kissed me. I see how Maximus pinned me to the ground when I attacked him. I remember the feel of flying through the air. I remember being cold. I remember that cold casting me into darkness. Then there is nothing. I blink
I clench my jaw at the mention of his name. I have no idea why I feel this intense anger every time he is mentioned. They seem really close and a part of me wonders if they were ever lovers. He did call her his sister, but I wonder if he said that just to me. I decide it doesn't hurt to ask."So what do you do if you have a date? Do you just go to the guys place?" I ask looking at my plate. I twirl my fork in my food waiting for an answer. She starts coughing and I look up to find that she has gone almost the shade of the streaks in her hair. "Did I say something wrong?""No, well that's a complicated question to answer I guess" She finishes her water and rises to clear the table. I help gather the dishes and follow her into the kitchen to put them in the sink. She is now refusing to meet my gaze and I feel a rush of jealousy go through my body thinking that she has slept with him and doesn't want to tell me. She begins to rinse the dishes off. I step in to dry them and place them in
I blink as I try to adjust my human eyes to the dark. A load of tiredness pulls on my body and my eyes fight to close to return back to a blissful rest. However, I am unable to sleep due to the chattering of my teeth. Once more I feel the bone aching chill from being away from Igneous.He is not far away. You must see that we need his heat. Can't you feel that he needs us too.As my beast speaks her vision takes over my eyes and through the walls of my bedroom I see the giant cloud of heat that is Igneous. I see his heat as a tangible form that calls to me through the short distance. I watch the heat shift as he moves on the couch. I remove the covers from my flesh and rise to stand. The air across my flesh feels colder and I reach to put my robe back on. I climb back into the bed and get back under the covers thinking that now that I have more layers I can make it through the chill. After shifting around for a few moments I kick my feet in frustration that this is not working.Go to
