Hi hope you’re all having a good day. Thank you for reading. Please leave a comment, a gem a review or all of the above.
Zared pov Finally! Finally, Aurum will be receiving her wolf! I assume anyway; not a lot is known about dragon hybrids - if that is what she is - so I can only assume she'll receive a wolf. Maybe with some sexy dragon perks. Maybe she'll be more powerful than Gunther? Gunther scoffs. “She'll be powerful alright, but I don't see her being more powerful than me.” “Besides,” he huffs “raw power is nothing if you don't know how to wield it. You should know that: you're only where you are because I'm an experienced wolf,” he gloats. “Yes Gunther, you are strong but I won’t rule out she will be stronger. The ward, her eyes, she is shrouded in mystery and magic. Which is why I need to swoop in gracefully and make her realise that I’m not only her owner but also the one that she has to submit and surrender her powers to.” The past few weeks we have watched her training; seen how she looked up at Janus. I've concluded from those looks that she trusts easily. I know he won't make a m
Nomia povI’ve been unable to focus on anything all day. I am too excited for tonight when I will finally have a wolf. I will no longer be ‘wolfless little Aurum’ to everyone. I’ve been nervously pacing through our quarters. Distracting everyone from whatever they were trying to do. Garnet slapped me with a growl when I caused her to lose her count in her crochet piece. Ruby tried to calm my nerves by chattering more than usual. I don’t even know what we were talking about. Malachite growled and swiped but missed. She then retreated to her room. Emerald and Amethyst looked at me with mixed emotions. Happy for me to gain my wolf, but sad because they know that the next step is training me to be with Alpha Zared. As always the day passed and I am now in my room resting myself for dinner. A soft knock sounds on my door; Amethyst enters my room looking confused. “Gamma Janus is here to collect you for dinner with Alpha Zared. I feel my mood drop from over excited to anxious. Dinner w
Nomia pov The door clicking closed is muffled as I'm smothered in Amethyst's arms. Emerald wraps her arms around me from behind, forming a warm, but slightly awkward sandwich. “We're so happy for you!”“We're so proud of you!” “Your smile is beautiful!” They each take turns exclaiming as we stand there, huddled together. Wait. Nervously, I poke my gums with my tongue… teeth! I have a full set of straight teeth! My eyes well with tears and for the first time ever, they're tears of joy. “Please accept these as my welcome gift” Aminta yawns as she curls up, placing her tail over her nose. “Thank you! Thank you Aminta! Thank you! I promise I will be the best possible host!” She smiles sleepily “I know you will, sweet girl. I must sleep now - merging with you and giving you new teeth has taken it out of me. Luckily it was a full moon and clear skies tonight” “Let's get you in the bath Aurum. You look dead on your feet. Once you're awake again you can tell us everything! About dinn
Zared povI've been pacing my office for the past few hours. My girls got into a fight with each other. They’re now all knocked out and tethered to their beds. And I need to think about how to proceed. The easiest solution would be to throw them to the brothels and buy new girls and if it weren’t for Aurum I probably would. “Sell the others off and keep Aurum,” Gunther offers. “Not an option, Aurum is deeply attached to the twins.”After her shifting both Gunther and I felt her amazing power. I have no doubt that with a bit of guidance she can eventually ignore commands. Gunther played tag with her wolf. She’s fast and agile. A force to be reckoned with. With proper training she’ll be a true warrior. Half of me recognises that I should see her as a threat. The other half is seriously turned on. She’s intriguing. “We can’t have a mate stronger than us, we’ll need to have her accept us as a chosen mate and then submit to us so we can wield her power,” Gunther muses. “But I don’t w
Nomia povWe’ve been ordered to the living room. Alpha Zared is standing in the middle, looking mean. His powerful aura exudes anger. Somehow though, I’m not as scared as I think I would have been before Aminta. “Stay down! Act scared! We need to survive” Aminta hisses from inside my head. Then she sucks some of her power in, my eyes widen at how different it feels. My body trembles in anticipation and I realise… now I look appropriately frightened. I look at the floor, trying to hide my smile. Even Malachite has enough common sense to not say anything. She’s stock still and glaring at the floor. “I am beside myself” Alpha Zared seethes. “Do you know how furious this whole thing makes me?!” he yells the word ‘furious’ and even I flinch away from him. “It was suggested that I sell you all to the brothels… but I have poured so much time and money into you! Not to mention you’re so used, I would never make my money back” he sneers. “I have given you everything you could ever want and n
Nomia pov The next morning I’m woken by a tray being set on the ground, not a word is spoken. I don’t even see who put it there. After breakfast I decide to take a bath and relax. Alpha Zared is gone for the next few days so I can skip the makeup. Aminta and I discuss the catastrophic lunch fight and the whipping of Emerald and Amethyst while we float in the warm water. When I’m finished I wrap my hair in a towel and with my robe hanging open I walk back into my bedroom only to get the fright of my life: Beta Jared is sitting in my bed with a vile grin on his face. “Good morning little Aurum,” he sneers, “You owe me an apology for yesterday. Janus is currently training the warriors, by the way, and these rooms are sound proof.” He leaves the last part about there being no point in my screaming unspoken. I receive his message loud and clear. I feel anger rising, the absolute rat bastard, Aminta is growling in my head, foaming at the mouth. I ignore him, and walk to my closet. Befo
Janus pov The moment Garnet did that impressive twist and kicked me full in the balls I knew serious trouble would be unavoidable. The least of my worries was if I’d ever be able to have children. I worried for her safety. Zared would presumably kill her for this, or maybe worse, give her to Jared. From my fetal position on the floor I watched in horror as Jared pulls his fist back in what would surely be an a killing blow to Garnets head. I try to get to my feet but I already know I won’t be fast enough. Then, from the corner of my eye I see Aurum take a leap. Her kick strong and precise full in Jared’s balls. Goddess I hope she’s rendered the bastard infertile. It’s this moment that Zared and a handful of guards barge in. Whacking Malachite, Garnet and Aurum unconscious within seconds after entering. “Weaklings!” Zared sneers, “You’ve been beaten up by girls! How are you my Beta and Gamma? How can you call yourselves guards? Bring them to their rooms and tie them down.”
Nomia povThe night maid ending her shift wakes me by throwing a scratchy brown dress over my face. The rough fabric irritates my skin as I drag it off me. The night maid scowls at me before stalking out of the room. It's earlier than usual. I cringe as I put on the dress and, not for the first time since Alpha Zared announced our punishment, I wonder if those working in the kitchen are servants or slaves. Thus far I'd been of the opinion that Golden Claw took better care of their wolves than Red Star. Today I’ll learn if that’s true or not. I feel Aminta restlessly pacing in my head. “Hell yes. I’m restless. I have to stay calm and not rip their throats out.” She growls at me. “We have to accept being humiliated now. I don’t like it one little bit.”“Can you tell me more later? I want to know more about my heritage. My father was a dragon but my mother? What was she? Who were my parents? How did they meet? Was I wanted?”Aminta makes a sound that’s something between a huff, a sigh
