Chapter Fifteen: Jaxon
"Did it kill me yet?" Ash asks.
My heart still beats furiously, and I can feel my hands shaking. "What the hell is that?"
He glances back at the creature crouching on his chest. "I think it's a leopard cub."
My eyes grow wider when I realize how calm and undeterred, he is. "Why the hell isn't this freaking you out?"
"Because I'm dead inside."
I roll my eyes. "Right," I mutter. "Well do you have an idea as to what it's doing in our bedroom?"
"I just want to know why it won't get off me?" He growls.
The cat gives a little chirp and jumps down onto the floor. A faint trail of smoke seems to follow it when it moves. Its paws are completely silent on the floor as it paces back and forth beside the bed.
"I think it's safe for you to get down now."
I glare at Ash, but he just watches with amusement as I climb down from the bedframe.
"I don't think I've ever seen you move that fast," he chuckles.
"Yeah well I never

"You have to go," I say."No, I don't, they don't need me there. They have my mom and my brother and his mate and plenty more I'm sure.""Kaine they're your family," I remind him."Then they should understand that I can't just leave my mate," he growls.I sigh heavily. "Look I know it hurts you to go back there, but you have to face what happened at some point. If you don't then you'll never be able to accept it and you're never going to be happy again," I try to explain.He growls a little but says nothing. Then he shakes his head. "You're right," he mutters. "Fine I'll go, are you sure you can't come with me?""I have to speak with a few important people, but I can meet you down there if you'll be staying for more than just a day.""Yeah I might as well stay for a while to catch up with everyone," he sighs.I pull him down to give him a soft kiss. "Then get going and I will see you soon.""Please don't be too long, I'm

"I thought I told you to leave those at home?" I ask, narrowing my eyes.She smiles sheepishly. "Sorry I just got so excited," she says.I sigh a little. "Does that mean you like them?""I love them. Thank you," she grins.My gaze flicks down to the short swords in her hands. The blades are black with light gold engravings. The hilts are gleaming silver with a dragon head pommel."There are runes in the blades and when I think you're ready, I'll teach you how to enchant them," I tell her.Her eyes go wide, and she stares at the swords. "Woah, seriously?"I nod. "Yes. And please understand that you may not practice with those unless you are with me. Especially not here.""Why not here? I thought werewolves were better with weapons than dragons?""No not really. They don't really like using weapons, they prefer to fight in wolf form," I explain with a small sigh."Oh okay. When can we practice?" She asks eagerly.

I hear knocking at the door and frown. "I thought Angel and Zella were still at the hospital?""They are," Jaxon says, looking just as confused."Well then who's at the door?" I ask as I stand up from the couch."No idea," he murmurs.I pull open the door and my eyebrows furrow. "Who are you?" I ask."I'm Taylor . . . " she says. "I'm sorry I was looking for the dragon king, I was told he had arrived recently.""Tay Tay get your ass in here!" I hear Jaxon shout obnoxiously.I hold the door open and she throws me a nervous smile before stepping inside. I close the door and walk into the living room, still confused."What the hell happened to you?" she asks, her eyes widening as she looks over Jaxon."I fell," he chuckles. He struggles to his feet before giving her a tight hug. "Where have you been? We got here a couple of days ago.""Sorry I was staying at Shawn's house and had to take care of a few things before I

He's waiting for me to say something, but I don't know where to start. I've been thinking about it for two days and I still have nothing."Do you want me to talk first?" He asks gently.I shake my head. "No." I clench my jaw and unclasp my necklace and drop it into his outstretched palm before moving to sit in front of the fireplace. I pull my knees up my chin and stare into the flames."Syrra what is this?""A soul," I mutter."Whose?"I clench my jaw tighter. "Peter's."He doesn't say anything and when I glance over at him, he is staring at the glowing blue vial in his hand.I swallow the lump in my throat. "I'm sorry. I know I should have talked to you first, but I didn't know what to do," I whisper, my voice cracking. "I didn't expect to find my mate so soon and I wasn't ever planning on having a child and I don't know if I can handle all of this."He looks up at me. But there is no anger in his eyes, only pain. "Wha

"Stop it!" I hiss, pushing him away."I don't think you really mean that," he chuckles and pins my wrists above my head before kissing me hard."We can't do this now, not with your family down the hall," I murmur.He smirks at me then leans forward. "If they don't want to hear they'll go somewhere else," he growls in my ear.His lips brush against my jaw and I close my eyes, letting my mind go blank. His fingers run through my hair and he tilts my head to the side. My breath comes out in low moans as he sucks on my neck.His teeth graze my skin and a pleasant shiver runs down my spine. He shifts his weight and stabbing pain shoots through my thigh."Oh, my gods," I gasp, my eyes flying open.Jax releases my hands and drops his head onto my shoulder, growling curses under his breath. "I'm sorry," he murmurs. "Are you okay?"I nod. "Yeah it's fine," I mumble.He lets out a sharp hiss of pain as he flops onto his back besid

"Damn it," I mutter under my breath, pursing my lips in annoyance."Your mom's going to kill us."Only if the forest continues to burn,Azazel growls.I raise my hand and focus on the fire tearing through the forest, blocking out everything else. I curl my fingers as the flames slowly start to die.I wait until the red glow is completely gone before lowering my hand."That's great, now nothing more will burn. But what about the trees that are already charcoal?" Fara growls.I sigh, my shoulders dropping. "I don't know," I say. Thick plumes of smoke curl into the sky, the acrid smell burns my nose and makes my eyes water. Small gray flecks fall around us, but I can't tell if it's snow or ash."Do you see that?" Ash asks, pointing to the trees.My eyebrows furrow. "What?""The smoke looks like it's moving."He's right. In the most damaged part of the forest, the smoke looks like it's weaving through th

"So, are you going to tell me exactly what has happened over the past few days? Or am I going to have to guess?" Lyza suddenly asks, looking quite irritated.I fold my hands in my lap with a sheepish smile. "Right, okay. So, when Kaine left to come here, I went to visit my cousin. She helped me reverse the fertility spell and put Peter's soul in a vial.""Where is the vial?""Kaine has it.""What else?"My eyebrows shoot up in surprise. I thought she would be upset but she looks happy—no . . .relieved."Uh well my cousin has been exiled for several years now. But before that she cursed me."Lyza frowns. "She cursed you?" She repeats carefully.I nod. "Well we really only call it a curse because it's a particularly harmful and debilitating spell. It diminished my power significantly but unfortunately I exiled the one person that knew how to remove it," I sigh."Yeah karma's a bitch that way," she remark

"Jaxon? You still awake?""Unfortunately.""Do you know what's going on?""No," he sighs. "But I have a feeling these cells were built for us."My gaze snaps to the bars. "It's cold iron, isn't it?""Yeah, the collar is too."I frown. "You're wearing a collar?"He growls. "Yeah. I feel like a fucking dog," he mutters.I scoot closer to the wall, hugging my knees to my chest. The pain and frustration in my mate's voice make my blood run cold. "Who the hell did this?" I ask.He sighs heavily. "I have no idea."***48 hours earlier . . ."Be nice Zahra," I say with a warning growl.She peers at me for a moment before creeping closer, more cautiously this time. She tentatively touches her nose to the baby's cheek, chirping a little.The baby lets out a tiny giggle and waves her arms around making Zahra leap back, her fur standing on end. I shake my head in amusemen
