Rain’s Fire

It was like waking up from a bad dream and losing reality for a few minutes. Then the fuzziness disappeared and the tragic news of my parents death settled back in my mind like a ton of bricks. My heart was forever shattered in this moment. Sadness was so overwhelming inside me I almost lost my breath. I was officially the last of my kind the dragon shifters that I knew of. We were a proud group of shifters who had walked the earth for centuries. Now I am all that stands between extinction or deliverance. Very few shifter clans ever join forces with any other but the dragons had always had the loyalty of the werewolves. Even now that war was surely on the horizon with the death of my parents at the hands of the werecats I knew what I had to do to maintain the wolves loyalty to me. I had to try and find my fated mate amongst the wolves. It was the only way because I didn’t know of any other dragons. I knew from generations past that dragons and wolves could crossbreed. It wasn't done an

I couldn't believe my eyes and ears as I sat on Selwyn's lap and listened to him talk. His face was gorgeous and chiseled. His eyes spoke volumes and held in their depths wisdom beyond my imagination. Then I almost let loose my dragon when he kissed me softly. His lips were so soft and warm and man could he kiss. I instantly kissed him back. I couldn’t help myself. He gave me my first kiss and I was excited. My dragon already felt the bondwith his wolf though he may not know it yet. I figured I had better explain how dragons bonded with a mate. I'm sure he didn't have extensive knowledge of dragons. Most shifters didn't because we were a secretive group of shifters. When our kiss ended I leaned back and smiled at Selwyn. This was my chance to tell him about the dragon mate bond. “ Alpha Selwyn I have something to tell you before we go any farther with this.” He stopped me with a look that said he was not pleased. I looked into his green eyes curiously wondering what I said to make him

The fight was over and I was beyond shocked and amazed watching my mate run at my side keeping up with me. Her strength and magical power was epic. I was the fastest wolf in the pack and the strongest followed by my Betas Ray and Rod. We were all headed to the pack house to wind down. I mind linked more warriors to head back to their posts and keep a watch out for more cats. I knew once Alpha Talis got word about this defeat for the cats he would retaliate fast. When we reached the pack house I threw open the door and headed for my office knowing it was time to fill the beta twins in on my mate. Sooner or later I had to let them know my beautiful mate was the last dragon in existence that I knew of. I could feel the hesitation from my betas as they followed me into the pack house. It was obvious now after the fight that Rain was powerful and almost like a mix between an elemental witch and a shifter. I noticed the way my mate seemed uneasy around Ray and that also had my curiosity up.

I ran at full speed to the end of the tunnel bursting free into the middle of the woods on pack land. I was hoping Selwyn wouldn’t be mad at me for not waiting on him but I knew I wanted to be done with this and it would be easy to capture and return Ray to be punished by his Alpha. I followed Ray’s essence in the air and ran to the border knowing he was already running straight for Jadeville to hide. I also knew that Selwyn would be displeased with me leaving pack land without him but I didn’t have time to wait on him or Ray would get away. I also knew I could sense any trap that might be waiting. Ray knew enough about me torealize my strength and magic by now. I was just hoping he wasn’t going to sell me out to the cats. I slowed down as I reached Jadeville and kept to the shadows. I sent my magic outside of myself seeking Ray’s essence in the air around me. It didn’t take me long to find what I was looking for as I walked down the quiet streets of the small town. I ducked into the

Rain’s POV I stood in the small clearing in the quiet forest gazing at the witch and waiting. Darkness surrounded us but my night vision was spot on. My mate was behind me along with beta Rod just inside the wood line but still concealed from view. I could feel Selwyn’s anxiety and determination but I couldn’t afford any distractions while facing the witch. I know what magic I hold inside me and I know how strong I am. I have never let arrogance cause me to get to cocky. My father had trained me from an early age on defense and strategy. My ancient magic I had to learn by studying the books my parents found for me and by trial and error until I perfected it. My eyes are glowing but that is all I am showing the witch just yet. I will let her make the first move and then end this little dance so I can destroy Talis. It took only a moment for the witch to throw a dark spell at me from her hand. It was meant to freeze me in place I could tell. For a few seconds I let her believe it worke
