“Well now, who is this beauty who seems to have captured my son’s attentions?” a commanding voice spoke for the doorway. I turned and saw a very tall strong man in the doorway. His hair was salt and pepper and hung around his shoulders in a nice wave. His face was stern but well-defined and aristocratic. He looked formidable but also extremely handsome. The epitome of a silver fox. His eyes were a deep blue, like the night sky and he carried himself like a man in charge, fitting as he was the king after all.
“Father. I would like you to meet Kara Ravenfield or Yarrow. Kara, this is my father Callan Horne, King of the dragons.” I stood up and looked up at the king, giving a respectful bow before holding my hand for him to shake and gripping it firmly while doing so. He looked me up and down, giving me an assessing look before he nodded once and smiled brightly.
Another chapter up! As always I love to hear from you guys, let me know what you think of the story and the characters.
I was woken in the morning by the scent of coffee and midnight dew of crisp night air, stretching and sighing as I sat up and smiled at Brodryn as he stopped beside my bed and held the coffee cup out to me. I took it with a smile and sipped it, moaning in satisfaction from the taste. I handed the mug back and stepped out of bed, full-body stretching and grunting in pleasure from the various pops and cracks, the stiffness of sleep vanishing as I stretched. I stepped towards Brodryn and wrapped my arms around his middle, inhaling his scent as He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me, placing a soft kiss on the top of my head. His bare chest was warm under my head and the soft fabric of his black lounge pants brushed against the bare skin of my legs. “Good morning little one. Did you have a good sleep?” He asked as he pulled away enough to cup my cheek in his large hand, my face immediately nuzzling int
I took a hot shower and scrubbed every inch of my skin, making myself nice and sudsy before rinsing and stepping out, drying myself with a towel, one wrapped in my hair and made for the door before stopping as my hand touched the doorknob. I did not bring clothes in the bathroom with me, I would have to go out there in my towel and into my closet. Jeez, that's a disaster waiting to happen. I took a deep breath and opened the door before stepping out, looking at the brothers in surprise as they lounged in various spots along my room. Cadmus, sitting in the reading chair in the corner, Blaze and Magnus lounging on the bed and Brodryn sitting on my vanity chair. I looked at each man, holding their gaze and flushing slightly, a bright happy smile on my face and a warm happy feeling spreading through me. I was so very grateful to have them in my life, to have them care for me the way they did. I bit my lip and
“Darling, we’re over your pack. Time to wake up.” Magnus' voice woke me from a very deep slumber, a yawn leaving my lips the moment I opened my eyes. I sat up and held onto his neck spikes, shivering at the chill in my bare toes as we descended through the clouds, the pack lands coming into focus as Magnus made for the big open space of the training grounds, cries and shouts being heard as everyone caught sight of us. He descended in slow arcing moves till he lowered to the ground with a very grateful landing, dropping the bags to the side and allowing me to climb down. The moment my feet touched the ground he started to shift back so I turned with a blush and pulled out a pair of jeans from his bag and held them out to him. I turned to the gathered crowd as I saw the various looks of shock at seeing a dragon up close and spotted Varin in the front. He nodded in greeting before whistling and telling every
“We need to talk, Silas. There’s a lot to tell you and I know that some of it is going to make you pissed off.” I said with a sigh, looking at him as he tilted his head to look up at me. I sat up and held the sheet around me, watching him as he sat up and looked at me with a concerned frown, a guarded expression on his face. “What do you mean Kara? Why would I be pissed off about what happened to you on the island?” I sighed once more and ran my hands through my hair before placing them in my lap and fiddling with my fingers as I watched him. “When I went to the island, I discovered something shocking about my mother, her name was Yarrow and she was a dragon, from a line of royalty. She left home when she fell in love with my father, she gave up her dragon and was going to live her days as a human, however, when my father marked her she gained the abili
I went into Tristan’s holding cell, gasping as I smelt the burning of his skin and the silver that was on his wrists, feet and neck. Overkill seeing as he was in a silver-barred holding cell. I growled low in annoyance and left the room, going to the control room for a set of keys before going back into the cell with Tristan. I unlocked the cell and went to him, unlocking the cuffs from his wrists then his ankles, his eyes fluttering open as I unlocked the cuff around his neck. He bolted upright with a snarl but as he reached for me he came to his senses and flopped back with an exhausted groan. “What are you doing in here?” he rasped, his voice gravelly and his throat burned and bruised from the silver cuff. I hissed, no longer able to ignore the stinging in my fingers and tossed all the cuffs behind me and outside of the cell. I went to the table with bottles of water designed to taunt him with what he
I made my way up the stairs and flopped onto my bed, curling up and inhaling Silas’s scent, sighing as it still brought me comfort. This was not how I wanted the day to play out but I saw no other way. It had to be this way. I grabbed my phone off my bedside table and went into the bathroom, turning on the water as I called Magnus, wanting to fill him in on everything. “Darling. I didn’t expect to hear from you so soon.” His voice was smooth and warm over the phone, immediately bringing a smile to my face. “Some things have changed. I didn’t mean for it to happen, it just did. Silas is aware of me being a dragon now, I filled him in on what that entails. Naturally, he is pissed but I couldn’t keep it from him. It led to a much-needed conversation. He knows I’ll never accept him as my mate. I can’t. I’m going to reject him. First I let Tristan go, made it look
The door to the bedroom banged open, smacking against the wall behind it and causing us both to snap awake and sit up, alert for a threat. I huffed and relaxed when I saw Varin standing in the doorway, a frown forming as I noticed the worried look on his face. Silas stood up and pulled on his jeans from the floor and looked at his Beta. “What’s going on Varin, why are you worried?” Silas asked as he quickly pulled a shirt over his head. “The council member Magnus Horne is here with Alpha Kane and some of his warriors. They won’t say why they’re here until the two of you come down to meet them.” He spoke quickly, his eyes flickering to me before he focused on Silas, his face giving away nothing. “What the fuck. Why in the hell is this happening? Do you have any idea, Kara?” Silas asked as he turned to me with a fr
I watched as people shifted and looked on in curiosity and I could feel the unease and anger of the warriors who wanted Silas to fight and take the pack from me. I may have looked calm on the outside but inside my stomach was a churning mess of nerves and worry. This was a big decision and I wouldn't blame them if they wanted to fight but I would not let them take the pack from me, not again. With a roar the warrior who spoke out against me rushed me, intending to tackle me to the ground. Since I was smaller and quicker than him I side-stepped him and gave him two hard hits to the kidneys. A bit of a cheap shot, but then again so was bull-rushing someone who wasn’t even facing you. : No, stay back. I need to handle this on my own or even my own people won’t take me seriously : I mind-linked Kane to stop as I saw him from the corner of my eye make a move to st
