The whole way over here I have been trying to put together my thoughts so that I could speak with her. As she sits on the boulder glaring at my I still feel tongue tied not knowing where to begin. It took a while to get her here through all that stubbornness. Despite the way she acted the whole way, like a spoiled brat, I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. I decide to use that feeling while I speak in the hopes that I get through to her."When I was five years old, I remember sitting in front of the television with my parents to watch what would happen to the eggs all over the world. I was so enthralled because like everyone else I wanted to know what would come out of them." I take my seat next to her as I fight not to touch her. "I felt like it was a part of my destiny as soon as I saw the face that hatched from the egg. I remember thinking that I have never seen anyone as beautiful as the baby on that screen. I wasn't for sure until we had that conversation last night
My dragon exploded from her maze in a smooth torrent when Igneous' scent flared with pain. She muzzled against me wanting me to go comfort him. At the moment I truly didn't know how to feel. Everything that he has said has been a huge revelation and I feel that now I understand him so much more. He seemed like such a strong man who had everything together and knew exactly what he wanted to be in life. I never imagined that so much of what I thought could be wrong.Our mate needs us, just as we need him. We must heal his hurt so he can heal ours."Wait, don't go Igneous" I yell to his back when her reaches the edge of the clearing. I see him pause but he doesn't turn around. He hangs his head and I see the shutter that goes through him. I stand up from the seat that I took on the boulder and walk toward him. when he I reach his side he still doesn't turn to me. "I'm afraid" I confess.He turns to me and meets my gaze. I quickly look away wanted to hide such a vulnerable feeling. I am
I may have bitten off more than I can chew. Her transformation happened so fast that for a moment I couldn't tell where Magma ended, and her dragon began. After a light started to glow from her as she grew there is now a giant dragon in her place. She is the scarlet red color of the streaks in her hair. Around her face I can see patches of black that spread into all the black spikes down her back.As I stare at the beast in amazement I watch as her form lowers, and her eyes hold my gaze. It hasn't moved toward me while I looked it over from this distance and that has made me feel very safe. I take a few steps forward so I can get a closer look when its tail starts to wag. I pause in my steps for a moment, and it immediately stops the motion."Holy cow, Magma. You're beautiful" I say in earnest. I approach the face of the Dragon slowly as I watch its giant red cat like eyes blink. It terrified me that first day in the forest because it reminds me so much of what evil looks like. Howev
"Has anyone ever told you that you have bad timing, Maximus?" I shout.Ignore him. Feel our mate. He is ready for us.As we look at him, he rolls his eyes stepping away from the tree he was leaned against. "Trust me I didn't want you to even know I was here. But the Alpha says he needs you in his office human. We got a problem" he says sharply."What could I do to help?" Igneous scoffs. As he speaks his eyes never leave mines. I can feel the way he wants me against pressing hard into my stomach."Come deal with your parents. There at the gate now with human authorities" he says as he moves toward us. He tosses a robe at me as he leaves the clearing. I turn my back so I can put on the robe. I change briskly and take his hand as we rush after Maximus with our needs long forgotten. "What do you mean deal with my parents? How did they even know where to find me? Why are the authorities here?" he questions Maximus as we catch up firing questions at him."You will have to figure that out
I sit on the couch in the lavish cabin I was brought to. There are so many things out of the norm here for a home in the woods that I am instantly uncomfortable. My father's phone has been ringing non-stop as he talks on it. My mother is sitting on her laptop as she types repeatedly. The Captain as well as one of his deputies waits outside to ensure I don't escape. They have the television on but as I look no one is even glancing at it. I grab the remote and turn it off not wanting the background noise. We have only been here for a few moments, and I am already itching in my skin to get out of here. I miss the quiet peace of being with Magma. As my thoughts flare to her I wonder how she is doing. I hope she hasn't begun to get cold yet. In my warm state I tug at the collar of the shirt my mother insisted that I put on. It was the last thing anyone has said to me since we entered this place. How are they going to get proof so I can leave. They would have to pretty convincingly fake
I sit and watch from the chair in Xander's office as he and Maximus toss out ideas back and forth. We have been here for almost two hours, and they have yet to come up with a solution.Why do we sit around while our mate is out there without us. We should go to him.I contemplate explaining the situation to dragon, but I know that no matter what she will not understand why we are unable to. I blink tuning back into the conversation."That won't work. We would have to show proof that a marriage license was filed for. We would also need the statement of a priest and we don't have one. That is too many forms we would have to lie about, and they would have been filed through the state." Xander says rubbing his face in frustration."What is with these humans and their damn documents. Does there have to be a record of everything?" he yells as he paces. "Is there any type of union that we could prove that would not have to be filed with the state?" he questions."Yes, but they have not know
I sweat as I lie her on the bed. I toss once more on top of the covers as the heat in my body flares. My stomach sloshes with the amount of water I have drunk trying to stay cool. I rise from the bed in a rush to go into the bathroom. I flip on the shower and turn it to the coldest setting it can go. Quickly removing my pants I step under the spray and moan in pain against the water hitting my skin. I grit my teeth knowing that I need to stay in longer. My fist hits the wall in anger at having to go through this. The pain is unlike before and I feel as if thousands of needles poke at my skin. Tears fill my eyes with the pain, and I let the water wash them away. I should be with her. Only she can ease this feeling and this heat. I need her. As my legs get tired from standing under the spray I sit on the floor of the shower glaring at the wall. This is all their fault. My parents have never cared a crap about who I spent time around. They had only met Sophie once and suddenl
The years of practicing meditation in my youth are finally paying off. I have used the methods I learned only in bouts of anger to calm myself from causing damage to others. There are certain times when the power I receive from inhaling the fire can be too much. This time is different. There are no lives to save. There is no earth to save.This stasis is for one all consuming. As I lay here in this burning abyss I can only hear the crackle of the fire. I feel the coolness in my body when I exhale and a heavenly burn in my throat as I inhale. I see my dragon as she watches me in the distance. Her body shimmers here and her red eyes are so bright they are like a burning river of lava. She rolls in the flames. She basked in the glow. The more she takes in the blaze, the more she seems to grow.There is no need to fear me. I am the same as I have always been. You have never seen the epitome of my power. You will see all that I can be!"You have always said that we are enough. I thought we
