Chapter 9

Dawn Ellery's point of view

I wake before my alarm, body humming with anticipation despite yesterday's exhaustion. Morning light filters through the curtains, painting strips of gold across the rumpled sheets. My muscles ache pleasantly, a reminder of Riku's brutal training session, but my mind feels sharper, clearer after Rain's meditative teachings. Today will be different. Today, they promised answers about the bond that pulls me toward them like gravity—the connection they've been so careful to avoid explaining.

I stretch, wincing as my overworked muscles protest. The dragon tattoo between my shoulder blades pulses with gentle warmth, as if greeting the morning alongside me. I'd collapsed into bed too exhausted to change out of my soft blue pajamas, the cotton now twisted around my thighs from restless sleep.

Across the room, I've already laid out training clothes—black leggings, a fitted tank top in deep purple, cross-trainers lined up neatly by the door. Evidence o

  • Shadow And Flame Chronicles Book 1 Ethereal Bonds   Shadow on the Bridge

    Chapter 10 Dawn Ellery's point of viewSleep eludes me like a wisp of smoke I can't quite grasp. I've been staring at the ceiling for hours, watching shadows shift and dance across the ornate plasterwork. My mind refuses to quiet, thoughts circling like hungry wolves—Maris's offer, Rain's reluctant promise of answers, the scorched sleeve of my pajamas, the bond I still don't understand. I turn onto my side, punch my pillow into submission, and flip back again. It's useless. Sleep isn't coming tonight.The dragon tattoo between my shoulder blades pulses with gentle warmth, a counterpoint to the restless energy buzzing beneath my skin. It's not my magic this time—that remains drained after this morning's outburst—but pure, human anxiety keeping me awake. I kick off the silken sheets that suddenly feel too confining and sit up, running my fingers through tangled hair.My decision still hangs in the balance—dampen my magic and gain safety at the cost of vulnerability, or continue this da

  • Shadow And Flame Chronicles Book 1 Ethereal Bonds   Trials and Triumphs

    Chapter 8 Dawn Ellery's point of view Sunlight slices through the gap in my curtains, painting a warm stripe across my face that drags me from sleep. I groan, rolling away from the invasion, but consciousness has already taken hold. My muscles protest with the movement, stiff from yesterday's idleness. Beneath my skin, magic hums—quieter than before but present, a constant reminder of what I am. What I'm becoming. Today is training day. Today I learn control. I push myself upright, wincing as my back muscles complain. The bed is obscenely comfortable, the sheets silky against my skin, but luxury won't help me master my power or understand the pull I feel toward the twins. Rain's cold authority. Riku's heated playfulness. Both affecting me in ways I can't explain and they refuse to clarify. The dragon tattoo between my shoulder blades pulses with gentle warmth, as if encouraging me to rise. I reach back, fingertips tracing the raised edges that seem more pronounced since my night

    Chapter 7 Riku Draven's point of viewI sense her before I see her, my dragon surging beneath my skin as Dawn's scent drifts through the crack beneath the office door. Light magic and apple blossoms, warm skin and something uniquely her—my nostrils flare, drinking it in like a man dying of thirst. Rain shoots me a warning glance from behind his desk, but I don't bother hiding my reaction. Let him pretend all he wants that she doesn't affect him the same way. I know better. Our mate approaches, and no amount of centuries-old promises can change what we both feel in our bones.A soft knock, hesitant. My dragon rumbles with approval—she's showing deference to our territory even as her magic pulses against the ward, strengthening it with every passing hour. Rain calls for her to enter, his voice betraying none of the tension I can see coiled in his shoulders.Dawn steps into our shared office, and something in my chest tightens painfully. She looks exhausted, dark circles shadowing those

    Chapter 6Dawn Ellery's point of viewA soft knock pulls me from the depths of dreamless sleep, each tap a physical pain against my consciousness. I groan, rolling toward the sound as if through molasses, my body a collection of aches that remind me of last night's orchard adventure. The light filtering through the curtains tells me morning has arrived, though it feels like I've barely closed my eyes. Four hours of sleep after touching ancient magic is not nearly enough.The knock comes again, more insistent this time. I drag myself upright, the silk sheets sliding away from skin that feels too sensitive, as if the rune's energy still courses just beneath the surface. My dragon tattoo pulses with residual warmth between my shoulder blades, a constant reminder of whatever awakened in me last night."Coming," I rasp, my voice a stranger's—thick with exhaustion and something else, something wild that lingers like the taste of those glowing apple

  • Shadow And Flame Chronicles Book 1 Ethereal Bonds   The Orchard at Night

    Chapter 5 Dawn Ellery's point of viewSleep eludes me, a taunting ghost that flits just beyond my grasp. The silk sheets—another gift I didn't ask for—tangle around my legs like living things as I toss and turn, my mind a churning sea of questions without answers. The dragon tattoo between my shoulder blades pulses with a gentle heat, as if it knows I'm thinking of them. Rain. Riku. Twin dragons with matching green eyes that see through me, into me, yet refuse to tell me what they see.I fling an arm across my eyes, as if that might block out the images that cycle through my mind: Sorin's rage as the ward closed between us; the pulsing walls of the clubhouse responding to my light; Rain's cold assessment and Riku's warm invitation. Most of all, that inexplicable pull between us—the bond, as Liora called it, though she wouldn't explain further.Dinner tonight was an exercise in restraint. Apparently, the Black Pistons eat together like some bizarre magical biker family. I sat with Li
