I don’t know what the fuck is going on, but I’m pissed. Both of my parents seem to know, Ajax seems to know, the other elementals seems to know, and no one thought it was a good idea to let ME know?The thing I thought was the danger, the Phoenix, wasn’t, and I wasted valuable time focusing on her when I should have been focusing on the real danger, these fucking witches.They’re after my kids and my mate!I’d heard my mother’s cry for Iniko. I’d hear Eliane call out to me, but it was her panicked scream that had finally cut through my anger. Then, her quiet voice in my head, calling me to her that sent a wave of icy fear rushing through me.When I’d rushed back, I’d found her unconscious, buried under a tree. By then, the witches and warlocks had started appearing out of thin air. I couldn’t spare much time for them as I bellowed for Everett.I lifted the tree off my mate and shifted. “No, no, no! Eliane! Eliane, open your eyes. I’m right here! I’m right here!”I felt my dragons figh

“FENIAN!” I say, rushing a still broken Ishir into the medical center.He pokes his head out of a room, the room I’m assuming has Eliane, then rushes to me.“Oh shit!” he says.“Exactly. Everett says to run a full body xray on him. We need to know which of his organs were punctured and I need to know if he’s stable enough for me to go help others.”He turns, waving me to follow him. “Have you seen Tesha?” he asks.“No, but it’s chaos out there.”He nods.“Can’t you speak to her through your bond?”“It’s shut down. I’m trying not to worry about what that means ...” he says, swallowing hard.“Tesha is a strong woman. She’ll be okay. When I go back out, I’ll look for her. How is Naida?”“It’s going to be a while before she can fly again. If she were a mature dragon, maybe, but as a hybrid ...” he shakes his head. “I need Doc Everett to look at her.”“I’m not sure who he was going to help next, but you can expect to have more like these two coming in. How are Eliane and the baby?”“I can

I knew Emmi wasn’t ready for my power, but we couldn’t wait any longer. Her fear had flooded through the bond between us, then burned off with my fire. There is no room for fear now. The witches are here and it’s why I am here.While the others were fighting, I’d been protecting the babies. Each time one got sucked into the tunnel, I would fight to pull them back out. But there were a lot of witches trying to get to the babies and I knew I hadn’t pulled them all back.When I saw the powerful witch who had been fighting with Zephyr take off running, I knew she was going to close the portal. I had screamed my anger and gone after her, burning through the remains of the tunnel so the dragons could get to the witches that I hadn’t gotten to yet.I could hear the screams of pain and fury all around me, feel the pain of the others as they fought to protect the hatchlings and each other. This Academy, this place, has become a home to many of these dragons and hybrids who had no where else to

As soon as we had the coordinates from the warlock, we raced to find Phoenix and the hatchlings. I’m not as large as Ancalagon or even Avani, but my mate is there and I pushed my dragon to speeds I’ve never achieved before.Ancalagon arrived first, slamming into a wall of magic. Avani hit it too, but I was able to pull up before I crashed into the invisible wall. Tana and Kenna both stopped and when Ancalagon roared his fury, we all started using our elements to attack the wall of magic.While Avani and I made the earth rumble, Tana and Kenna blew their fire at the wall. Ancalagon began dropping tornados, pulling water from the ground and splashing it up to where Tana and Kenna are heating the wall.When the first cracks start to form, Ancalagon yells for all of us to get back. We do and Ancalagon stands in front of the wall, then spins, slamming his giant tail against it. The wall explodes, shattering around us.We all shift then race inside.

Three Days LaterThere is so much pain, so much loss. I’m overwhelmed by it, but I have to keep going. The students here, those who are left, are depending on me.Yhendorn, Kenna, Merethyl, and Avani have taken all of the dead elves back to their troupes for a proper burial. Cedric and Tana have taken the dead wolves back to their packs to be burned so their ashes can return to the Moon Goddess’ realm.Tonight, the dragons and hybrids will lay Sena and Dion to rest. They hadn’t been with us long enough to learn how to fight and use their elements and they had been the casualties on the dragon and hybrid side of this war.I walk to the nursery, checking on the young. There are so many of them and they are all frightened, especially since their parents have been gone so much lately.Aithne, Ehrendil, and Daijaro are struggling the most. All of them are under three.

It took me a while to realize that the chaos in my mind wasn’t me, but Zephyr. I could hear voices, but I couldn’t tell if they were real or the ones in her mind. Until I heard Kaylani. Her voice was clear and gave me the clarity that I needed to realize that Zephyr’s demons have returned while I’ve been unconscious.“Where is she, Kaylani?”“She was going to look after Ancalagon’s hatchlings while he’s here.”“How long have I been out?” I ask, sitting up.“Three days. You need to stay there,” she says, turning her head to the doorway. “EVERETT!”“Zephyr needs me. You said so yourself,” I grunt. My head is spinning and I feel like shit. “What happened?”“What do you remember?” Everett asks, walking in and lifting my face to look at me. He flashes a light in my eyes that makes my head pound worse.I snarl and Everett goes still, but so do the voices in Zephyr’s head which brings the pounding in my head down to a manageable level.I hear Zephyr bellow from somewhere outside. “I wasn’t s

Life slowly started getting back to normal. After Kenna forced me to start getting up and interacting again, I realized how much had truly happened while I’d been mourning the loss of Phoenix. The entire Academy was in a state of mourning.After everything that happened with Phoenix and the hatchlings, I felt a special bond to them. I started going to see them the day after Kenna dragged me out of bed. Raina was thrilled to see me, nuzzling me with her snout. I learned the names of the other four dragons that were there as well, Gemma, Blaze, Skye, and Azure; earth, fire, air, and water. All dragons seemed to be named after their element. Even the hybrids, like Ajax, chose names that relate back to their element.I stay close to Ajax and he seems to feel the same need to be near me. Our grief is still overwhelming, but we’re finding our way out of it together. I didn’t realize how much I’d miss Phoenix if she were gone, but I do.There’s a hollowness inside of me, a vacancy that I kno

I woke to an empty bed. Not just empty, the bed where Emmi should have been laying was cold. Terror ripped through me. I’ve lost one mate. I won’t survive losing another.I raced around the house, calling her name, yelling for her. When she wasn’t there, I’d raced outside, wondering if somehow the witches had come back, if they’d found Emmi and planned to punish her because of Phoenix.I was on my way to wake Cal, to beg him to help me find her, when I heard her call my name.Relief swept through me and I rushed through the forested area to where I’d heard her voice, only to see her standing in the middle of the old medical center engulfed in flames. Phoenix’s flames.“Emmi, are you okay?” I ask, looking her over quickly.“I’m fine, Ajax. What does it mean?” she asks me, looking at the flames on her body. For the first time, she doesn't look afraid. She seems excited to be engulfed in flames.I have no idea, but there’s something else that doesn’t make sense to me as I look her over.

I’m pregnant?I turn and look at Ajax. “We’re going to have a baby?”Ajax stands, holding me in his arms and spinning me in a circle. “We’re going to have a baby!” he shouts before his mouth covers mine. I return his kiss as happy tears stream down my cheeks.When he finally releases my mouth, he puts his forehead against mine. “We’ll all be one big, happy family, Emmi. You’ll see,” he says. I put my hands on his face and realize that he, too, is crying. We’ve both been so devastated by losing Phoenix that this is almost too much to hope for.“Dad,” he says, pulling away and looking at his father who has moved away to give us a few moments of privacy. “What’s next?”“I’d like to do an ultrasound. I’m curious about why Phoenix’s fire isn’t getting close to your belly, Emmi. It’s like there’s a protective layer around the fetus. I’d like to see if I’m right about that and if so, if there is any cause for concern during your delivery.”“How long will she be pregnant, Dad?” Ajax asks.“We
