I felt the rush of fear from Emmi a moment before I felt power unlike anything I’ve ever felt before flow through my body. That was followed closely by a burning fury that rushed through my veins as Phoenix’s mind snapped into my consciousness. I knew before I saw her that Phoenix had risen and that the battle was here.

I raced out of class, rushing to her and had tripped when I saw her flaming body in the sky. She is utterly and completely gorgeous.

Then, my own fear brought me back to reality as hybrids and laboratory dragons all shifted and launched into the air to fight her.

“NO!” I screamed, watching Kenna fly up to snap at the dragons flying toward Emmi.

I watch Daichi, an earth dragon lunge at Phoenix but Tana flies up to intercept. She bellows that them to stay back while Kenzo tries to tell the others to stop. Tesha, in her scaled Lycan form flies in front of Phoenix, trying to help protect her as wolves come rushing from every direction.

“AJAX!” Ancalagon bellows, flying in f

Well, that was intense...

Argh such an anxiety filled chapter, wish they had told Cal after the babies were born too, especially as the knew the witches would attack soon after - they waited way too long. What a rollercoaster chapter ♡

I still don't get why they didn't tell Cal and Elaine after the eggs hatched. But alas, now we must wait for next chapter...

  • Rise of the Phoenix   Epilogue 2: Naida

    One Year Later“Kenzo, what are we doing?” I say, laughing as he leads me to a secluded spot in a forest far away from the Academy.“Naida, a dragon always knows their mate. I know you must feel it too, the draw to me, right?” he asks, pulling me into his arms.“Of course I do."Kenzo and I have been together for the last couple of years. Technically, he’s only seven, but a dragon reaches the full age of maturity at five. Me, on the other hand, I was born a human, was experimented on by scientists and injected with water dragon and polar bear DNA. My mother, Kaylani, adopted me when I was brought to the Academy which has been my home for the last three years.He pushes my hair away from my face, looking at me with so much love in his eyes. “I’ve been waiting until you were closer to turning eighteen. I didn’t want the wrath of Kaylani coming down on me for deflowering her daughter before she reached the age of maturity,” he says.“You know my birthday isn’t until this weekend,” I say,

  • Rise of the Phoenix   Epilogue 1: Ajax

    One Year LaterPossibly the most terrifying and incredible day of my life was the day that Pele came into this world. Much like Emmi, I’d barely been sleeping, wanting to be there for her and ease as much of her pain in those last weeks as possible. But then her stomach lit on fire.My father and I talked to Phoenix about it after the fact. She said that Pele had started to feel the pain of Emmi’s contractions, which at that point, Emmi wasn’t feeling because she was in constant pain from her stomach expanding too fast for her human body. But when they became strong enough that Pele felt them, she’d shifted, trying to escape and that’s what caused Emmi’s pain. Phoenix had tried to stop her, screaming at Pele to shift back but by then, it was too late and Emmi had torn internally. Phoenix had then tried to connect with Emmi, to save her, but with Pele still in her body, she’d been unable to do so. My daughter and my mates had literally been fighting each other to try and save each other

  • Rise of the Phoenix   Chapter 64: Emmi

    Ajax and I have been seeing Doc Everett two to three times a week for several months now. As their delivery times got closer, we started seeing Amne and Eliane more frequently in the temporary medical center and then the official medical center once it was completed. We also started seeing Sienna, Keagan’s mate after about a month when she came in and was also told she was pregnant. So, all three brothers have mates who are pregnant. It’s nice to have others who I can share things with and Ajax is really happy to be able to talk to his brothers about the upcoming plans for our babies’ births.The three of them have started working together to build nurseries in each of our houses. Cedric, Ishir, Everett, and Avani have all come by to give their suggestions about what we’ll need for our babies and Zephyr and Kaylani insisted on throwing us a baby shower. They were going to have one for each of us, but we all said we were fine having one together.It was a fun day. I hadn’t realized the

    “Umm, I’m really excited that my mate is pregnant and that I’m going to have a little girl. But uh, how is Emmi supposed to deliver a flaming bird?” I ask, looking from my dad to my mom.“Phoenix says she has a human form. She’s just special and can shift already. Phoenix said our daughter did it when she couldn’t reach you and it was frustrating her so she shifted and now she shifts every time you’re around and she’s awake so she can connect with you,” Emmi says to me.I look at Kaylani and see the same shock on her face that I know is on mine. Even dragons take five years to have their first shift. Wolves take ten years. My daughter is still in the womb and is already able to shift?“We should talk to Yhendorn, see if he’s found any additional information on Phoenix,” Kaylani says.“It won’t help,” Emmi says, looking at us. “She’s never had a child before. Phoenix has always been the only phoenix.”“It sounds, however, like your daughter has an incredible sense of self-awareness as w

  • Rise of the Phoenix   Chapter 62: Emmi

    About a month after Doc Everett told us that we were pregnant, my stomach popped out. Doc said it probably means that my gestation period will be shorter than a human’s, maybe six to seven months.Ajax couldn’t be happier. Phoenix is alive and now our child is growing in a way that he can see. Every chance he gets, he touches me so he can see my body light up. He especially likes going down on me because it puts him closer to Phoenix and her flames ignite inside his mouth. He says it’s like she’s tickling his tongue and the two them play together while he makes me come over and over again. He said it feels like he can taste both of us when he does that and he can’t get enough of the taste.I’m not complaining. I just feel like I’m the lucky one in all of this. I have my mate. I have my shifter. I’m pregnant with our child. And I reap the benefits of Ajax and Phoenix playing together.At night after he and Phoenix have turned me into a quivering mass and he’s made love to me, igniting b

  • Rise of the Phoenix   Chapter 61: Elio

    Ajax warned me that yet another fucking elf wants to claim me. The problem is, the fire dragon in me recognized her as my mate immediately. A part of me was thrilled to find out that she wasn’t just an elf, but an elf princess. Add to that, she’s gorgeous, graceful, powerful, and ethereal in the way that elves are. She walks with a confidence that I admire, and has a gaze so intense, it’s hard for me to hold her gaze. But I won’t back down.Being part animal now is strange. I’ve become much more instinctual than I used to be. When you add in my difficult life until I came to live here, it’s shaped me into the strong man that I am.So, no, I don’t back down and I don’t look away, even when it’s announced that Princess Keya put a claim on me. Since Kaylani added that each claimant had to identify their reasons for claiming a dragon, the entire school now knows that Keya is my mate.“Damn, Elio. Should I be happy for you, or pissed for you?” Valko, the man who is as close as a brother as
