Se connecterAfter I saw everything that Draven did, I went back to my body. The Trio sat cradling me between them. It was sweet, but I needed to tell them everything, because I had a surprise planned. I need to do it during the full moon because that's when witches are at their peak, and I yearn for him to fall hard. “If witches could just seize a dragon, all of them would. Why this guy?” Conner asks.“I don't know, and I don't care. That dragon was waiting for its person to be reborn. He just took it. It didn't choose him!” The room began to shake as a crack of thunder sounded overhead, and all of the lights went out.Conner strokes my hair and my cheek, “Avery, you need to calm down a bit, or you might form a tornado, and we have not had one of those in centuries.” He kisses me softly, “Please calm down, please.”I know he's right. But what Draven did bothers me. Does he think that because he now has a dragon, he could have one as a mate? It doesn't work like that. We don't choose. We either
Draven’s POVI have been trying this ritual every year since I was sixteen. Sixteen was when I became a man in this goddess-forsaken town. A Seer foretold that I would find my mate, as Tiamat has been reborn. I was told to do a summoning ritual during the full moon when it is in the constellation of Sagittarius. I have done that for the last six years. I am tired of waiting for and wanting what is mine and the power that I will gain from our union. After the ritual failed again this spring, I decided to try it in September. I will try it every month if that's what it takes. “Primordial mother, I summon you. Tiamat, I summon you.”During this rite, we will be passing through stages of astral Draconthropy to become as Tiamat, to become a dragon - powerful, wise, decisive, standing in our power where we will harness 'melammu,' the black flame and spark of creation that resides within us, to be our own gods and stand in our power. We are going to use Leviathan, the dragon god of the subc
When Clint and I returned from the college library, we went to a restaurant and had lunch before we made it into our tribal lands. Everybody kept looking at us. Clint shrugged and told me that everyone recognizes nobility, but I still didn't like how they looked at me with their judgemental eyes. Regina didn't either because I felt her pacing. I hurriedly ate and told Clint I was just very hungry, when in reality, I just wanted to get back home. It was still early afternoon when we got to the palace. We had about two hours before the others would be home. “I think it is time that we should pick up where we left off at the library,” Clint says, as a sly smile creeps across his luscious lips. I bite my lip as I raise an eyebrow, “Oh?”He laughs as he picks me up and carries me to his room. He reaches around his television and presses a button. The wall shifts to reveal a hidden room. I gasp before he kisses me. It is an erotic playroom like the ones I had read about in some of my book
It has been three days since the incident at the river. We are still no closer to figuring out who wanted to incapacitate or kill the Naga Tribe’s dragons. I have tried to be around more of the members of our tribe, but I have not felt or seen anything. Maybe, I was wrong to assume that someone within our tribe might have helped or known something. I am trying to relax in a bath when I am hit with a vision. Not thinking, I jump out of the tub and go from room to room looking for one of my mates. I tried Cassius first since his room was the closest to mine, but he wasn't there. Conner wasn't in his room either. I threw open Clint’s door and he was getting dressed for school. “I need to go to a human library.”He rushed over to me and shut the door. He pulled me to him, “I will, but first, don't you think you need to dry off and put on some clothes? Not that I don't love looking at your naked body, but I don't want strangers looking at what is mine.” I tried to cover myself and he chuc
Based on what happened to Anton, someone had been tampering with the well, which must have spooked the cattle. Conner seems to think that I am some type of superhero, because he suggested that I go look around the well, looking to see if there was anything I could uncover about what happened. I thought that he was crazy until we got there. “Guys, I feel weird.”They each embraced me and I felt better. When my hand touched the lid of the well, I felt dizzy and a vision formed in my mind. I saw hooded figures appear out of thin air. They pulled vials and herbs out from under their black and dark red cloaks. I heard them chant in an unfamiliar language, but parts of it I seemed to recognize. I must have said it out loud because Conner said, “Nox affer. Exstingue lucem. Draconis fuga necatur. But that means, bring the night, extinguish the light, kill the dragon’s flight. Avery…Avery, come back to us.” Then he kissed me, which made the vision fade.“Avery, did you see who chanted that?” C
Cassius’s POVMy mate is absolutely amazing. She didn't make fun of me for playing the piano and singing. I had always kept that talent hidden because I was afraid of what others would think. My parents had each of us learn various skills. They wanted whichever of us became king to have a diverse skill set, so that he could better serve our tribe. Avery just has so many of those skills that took us a long time to master. Clint told me how quickly she learned to fly, and despite her fear, too. Next, Conner told me how after he corrected her just once, she got consecutive bullseyes, and even split arrows. That takes immense skill. And just now, she learned to play the piano and I have no doubt that she could master it, too. What can't she do?When the piano crashed to the floor, my brothers came running followed by a few servants. Avery blushed as I shielded her with my body. I whispered, “You are so sexy, even when you blush. But don't be embarrassed. Mates seize the moment.”She bit h
