(Mateo) The dragons were vicious, but Shade was just as vicious. He bit, tore and fought like the he was possessed.I was worried about Vera, though. I heard the growls and roars and ear-splitting cries, but Shade couldn't get away from the dragons continuously attacking Raek and him.When I saw Vera going into the clearing and Orna's dragon following her, my heart fell to my stomach. I was nervous, agitated. Shade tried to break away from the dragons around us, but I just couldn't. They were fast, fierce and unrelenting.I had a feeling they wanted to keep us away from Orna and Vera for whatever's reason they had."Don't worry, she can take care of herself," Shade said as he took a swing at a massive green dragon. She was quick, and she was ruthless, but Shade was hungry for blood. "I am going to kill this bitch and bury her in her own blood," he hissed with anger as he wrapped his tail around the massive Black and yellow dragon's leg and tugged. The dragon roared as she twisted awa
Warning: This is the same scene from last chapter, from Vera's pov. It is not officially a different chapter. It is just the same scene told from Vera's perspective. If you don't want to read, do not read.This chapter will not clear everything up, because like I said, I still have another book to write.With that being said, go on, and you will see some of you confusions answered here. ONLY SOME, though. Wink, wink.***(Vera) I saw Orna's body going still in my arms as her eyes stared straight into mine. There was no anger left in her eyes, and mine, as well. I gently closed her eyes as I looked at her.I could hear her softly reading the stories to me. Soft and gentle. Her eyes would always be fierce though. I remembered the marks on that special book. She called it her special book. I had never seen a book like that anywhere else. One time when I asked Orna about it, she said there was no other book like this in the entire universe."Sleep tight, auntie. May you find your peace i
(Prince Mateo Storm) I was bored. I was always bored during social events. My tux was stiff, and my tie felt too tight. I was suffocating in this place and I would give anything to get away from here. For me, this was an absolute nightmare. The pounding music. The sweaty, sweaty people. The Dragon Ball! Ugh! The Dragon Ball was one of the most important social events in Draconià. Everyone was invited into the Feuer Castle during Dragon Ball and the castle would be fully decked with lights and flowers. The event usually lasted for three days and there would be a copious amount of alcohol, food, music, entertainment and a lot of girls looking to hook up with royalty. My brother thrived during the ball, the charming Blaine Storm and I, the future king of Draconià, couldn’t even open my fūcking mouth to form a proper sentence to anyone who dared to approach me. I hated it. I would rather take a leisurely stroll in the Dread Woods of Delvitga and take my chances with the monstro
(Vera Rhys) Pulling down a soft blue dress fit for Royalty and smoothing it down my body, I stared at myself in the mirror, my violet eyes glinting in appreciation as I stared at the gown and the gold necklace I had just stolen yesterday. I had always loved beautiful things. No, not just love. I had an unhealthy addiction to beautiful, shiny things, and no, I'm not ashamed to admit that. As far as I was concerned, when you liked something, you didn’t have to be shy or apologetic about it. At the end of the day, you were the only one who was responsible for your own happiness. My happiness was exactly here in this little cottage that had been dying for years now, but still standing, with my merry band of six people. I was unofficially the queen here and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I quickly shot a text to my boss, Alonso. I had a day job too, in the most perfect place in my little world. The Gery’s Gallerie. And it also helped satiate my obsession with beautiful things. I b
(Faye) I kept biting my nails as Owen stared at me with a frown. "She will be alright, but if you keep biting your nails, you won't be," he said with a smile as he sat down next to me, wincing as he looked at my bitten nails. "I am worried about her." "And I am, too, but you know her. Nothing is going to convince her. She has to do what she has to.""I know she had been doing things on her terms since she was a child, and it made her... kinda stubborn.""Kinda?" Owen winked, and we laughed together and some of the tension in my stomach reduced. "Okay, very stubborn, but we are all in this together, and I wish she won't recklessly run into things," I said, taking in a deep breath.Vera and I had been friends for a long time. No. We were more than friends. We were sisters. And I knew she would be the one I would go to if I had to bury someone, and she would come to me. But sometimes, it worried me, the way she thrived on danger. Sometimes I had a feeling that she was trying to fil
(Mateo) The moment she pressed her lips against mine, I knew it was a game. The same one she had played once, but this time... well, this time I was a little bit less distracted than before."Oh, you are still very much distracted." Okay, I admit Shade was right. I was already aroused and aware of her softness pressing against me... deliciously teasing and tempting me to forget who the hell she was and to take her against the wall... but I knew I couldn't let her distract me again. I just couldn't."You can let her distract you, I mean look at her." My dragon was a horny little shit."Can you blame me?" I was going crazy. She was so beautiful and she made me feel things I had never felt, not for anyone. She did it the first time, too, even when there was no freaking bond to pull me to her, she pulled me in.Her lips were soft and masterful as she kissed me with everything she had and oh, she would destroy me.My heart was thundering, my breath was coming out in a sharp gasp and my
(Vera)"Wait? What the hell are you doing, Nova? I am trying to get the f*ck out of this place. Not hug the prince prickly. Stop rubbing his ass with your perverted tail," I said with a frown, but my dragon was busy wrapping her perky tail around the handsome-looking prince, a look of pure delight in her traitorous eyes, and the prince looked quite besotted as he tenderly traced her scaly head with his hand. She purred. Nobody in their right mind would call this kitty-fucking-cat a dragon."He was so damn angry with me, and he is petting you?” I frowned. I was kind of jealous of my own freaking dragon.“Don’t be bratty, Vera. It is not becoming,” my dragon said with a huff before she finally unwrapped her tail from around him. He looked hesitant and I could see his beautiful green eyes looking at her with gentle adoration."About time. Now, let’s get the hell out of here before he calls the guards and really sends us to the dungeon,” I said with a frown. She huffed before she walked t
(Mateo)(Just before he was in the forest)When the dragon flew away through the window, it took me minutes to get my head back and I was finally awake from the spell, the woman and her dragon put me on. They were both bewitching.The woman was a menace, a freaking menace, with a mouth like... a flame thrower or something. Every f*cking word that came out of her mouth was made to make me burn.I didn’t even have the proper word to describe her. She vexed me to madness. But her dragon- oh! Now, I loved that sexy beast. Her red and black scaly body, her soft violet eyes with a slash in the middle that looked like a doorway to her soul, her soft purr."Oh, I won’t mind riding that dragon...” Shade said with a moan, and I chuckled, shaking my head. On a normal day, my dragon was usually the most level-headed creature, but with Vera and her dragon, Shade seemed to be losing his shit, too, more so than me."Yes, I know you won’t mind riding her, you dirty dragon.”“Who is this woman? What i
