Chapter 3
Amber went to Theo with a sad face and when Theo saw her face he knew that, Amber had come with bad news.“ What is the bad news?” He asked.“ How do you know it’s a bad news I came with?” She asked.“ You look sad” he said.“ Marc took the girl with him” she said and Theo was surprised.“ Why did he have to take her with him, she is a witch and he hate witches. Why were you not able to convince him not to?” He asked.“ I tried to but it seems that the girl had cast a spell on him” she said.“ What do you mean?” He asked.“ I don’t know Theo but I feel that Marc feel something special for this girl” Amber said.“ We will see to that but you still have to continue to prove your fake love for him, I know it’s not easy and it’s difficult for you to force yourself to love someone you hate the most but this is for our own benefit. Tell me don’t you want to avenge your parent death?” Theo asked and Amber stare at him and tears fell off her eyes.“ I want to avenge my parents death, Marc father killed my parents when I was still little, I was surprised that he didn’t recognize me anymore but that make it easier for me because this time I am avenging my parent’s death through his son Marc” she said in anger.“ This can only be done with the help of the special witch blood” he said and Amber stare at him.“ I will do everything in my power ti bring the girl” she said and Theo smiled.Marc’s parents saw Marc with a girl and they can sense that she was a witch, Marc took her in.“ Why do you have to bring the witch to our house?” His mother asked.“ She needs my help” he said and he took Maya inside the house and he asked her to have her seat, he took his parents to a corner.“ Why do you have to bring a witch to our house?” He father asked.“ Father! Mother! I know that you have a lot of questions but I am surprised when the moon goddess told me that she is my mate and I need to help look for the last dragon and also help her to the vampire world to seek help to defeat her enemies, Aurora is now the queen of the witch and she will be doomed might even affect the wolves park” he said.“ Is sue the dragon queen?” His father asked.“ Yes and she also have a vampire blood” he replied.“ She is a special child and the lost powerful witch” his mother said.“ Have you told her that she is your mate?” His mother asked.“ No mother, i didn’t tell her and I did not intend to tell her the truth, I don’t love her, I only love Amber” he said.“ The moon goddess had already said that Amber is your doomed and your mate will be here soon and here she is and you have already rejected her without her even knowing” his mother said.“ Amber can never be my doomed, I love her and she love me back, we love each other and we are made for each other” he said.“ What is her name?” His mother ask.“ I don’t know and I don’t care to know. I am hungry, i need to eat dinner” he said and he left.“ You can go to the dining and the diner will be serve soon” his mother said and she went to meet Maya.“ What is your name young lady?” Marc’s mother asked.“ Maya” she replied.“ You have a beautiful name. Marc told me that you are the dragon queen and you have a part of a vampire in your blood, you are the most powerful witch, you are special but I hope you know the use of your powers” she said.“ Of course I know but I need help from the werewolf park to achieve my goal, I need to loo for the last dragon” she said.“ You should not worry, Marc will help you find it with his help everything is possible” she said.“ You must be hungry, I know. Come to the dining” she said and Maya went with her to the dining and Marc mother serve the dinner and they all ate and Amber watch them through the window and she was angry.“ I won’t let her meet with the last dragon, no that can’t be possible” Amber said in anger.The rest of the witches bow in front of Aurora, the wizard guard who went in search for Maya came back to the palace empty handed and Aurora was upset to see them without Maya.“ Where is the girl?” She asked in anger.“ I am sorry your highness but she is no where to be found” the wizard guard said.“ You have failed me” she said in anger.“ She can’t meet with the last dragon, I know that she will be headed to dragon land soon maybe alone and I want you to be there before her and bring her to me alive and this time you must not fail me because of you do then I will have you all kill” she said and the guards nods their head and they left.“ My queen! What if she got there before the guards get to the dragon land?” Lucie( Aurora’s servant) asked.“ Even though she does, she will still have to look for the dragon because no one know where the last dragon is kept” she said.“ You are right but she is the dragon queen, there is a possibility that she can find the last dragon”Lucie said.“ I don’t think so, I don’t think she know the use of her power, the only witch that can help her, I killed her already, only late queen Millie can lease her and she dead because I killed her, I am sure that the werewolf park will never help her” she said.“ I need her blood to be more powerful and to get that, she can’t with the last dragon or seek for help in the vampire world” she said and she laughed.Chapter 4Maya is in a deep sleep and she had a dream, the late queen Millie appeared to her in her dream.“ Queen Millie! Is good to see you again” she said.“ Yes, it’s good to see you again Maya” queen Millie said and she wanted to go closer to queen Millie to hug and Queen Millie stop her not coke closer to her.“ I am dead you can’t come closer to me, you have to stay away from me” queen Millie said and Maya was in tears.“ I own you my life my queen” she said.“ I don’t regret dying for you Maya. You have to go to the dragon land and free the last dragon, the dragon was chain many years ago by the late dragon lord and now only your magic can frère the last dragon and that is how the dragon can help you get to the land of the vampire and that is the only way you can defeat your enemies” the late queen said.“ Your journey start now” the late said and she went back to her grave and Maya had told her to stay, Maya woke up from her dream seeing Marc staring at her already.“ Thank
Chapter 5Marc parked his car beside the restaurant and he took Maya to the restaurant so they can eat, after some minutes later they finished and they went out of the restaurant, they met Amber.Amber pretend to be upset and jealous, Marc was surprised to see her.“ Amber! What are you doing here?” He asked and Amber went to meet Maya.“ I can’t let this girl go with you” Amber said.“ How do you mean?” He asked.“ I feel like she is lying and only want to steal you from me” Amber said.“ Amber! What are you saying, I can’t steal him from you. I was not raised that way, I only need his help” she said.“ Why can’t you go meet others for help? Why my Marc in particular?” She asked.“ The rest of the wolf have refuse to help me and only Marc has chose to help me. Please did not try to ruined this” she said and Amber yelled at her.“ Amber there is no need for this, you can coke with us if you have refuse to trust me” he said and Amber looked back and Theo had signaled her to go with the
ChThe FightMaya was losing.Blood dripped into her eye from a gash at her brow. Her feet danced back and forth on the hard stone floor, light and eager with her hands protecting her face—little good it had done.Her form was in complete contrast to the bruiser before her. He was nearly seven feet tall and built like the haunches of a dragon—massive and muscular. Though he was all power and no finesse.“You going to dance on your twinkle toes all day, or are we going to fight?” Bruiser grunted.“I was considering it,” she bit back.He laughed gruffly. “Fine. Make it easy for me, Red.”Bruiser stepped forward, using his limited elemental magic to give him an edge as he rushed toward her. The earth rattled beneath her feet, and she shuffled side to side in an attempt to stay upright. But then he was in front of her, his eyes keen on victory before his fist even shot for her face.She blocked him with her forearm, taking a bone-crunching amount of pressure. Then she dodged the second bl
“Do you have my winnings?” Maya asked.“I do indeed.”Amber slid his hand into the inside of his tailored black suit. The cut accentuated his muscular build. He wore the white shirt with a black vest and jacket, complete with a Wastes red cravat at his neck. His hand was nimble, producing a red velvet bag heavy with gold marks, just like the ruthless pickpocket who had taken over the underground.“Here you are.” He set the bag in her hand. It held way more than what she should have earned. His almost-golden eyes glittered with defiance, as if waiting for her to suggest that it was too much money.She did no such thing. She pocketed the bag and ignored the way he ran a hand back through burnished hair that showed more red than brown in the light. Not at all like hers. Not that she would ever admit to paying attention.“You should consider working bigger fights,” Amber said. “Use more than one element.”Using only one element in the Dragon Ring kept her safe. She did it to keep a target
Maya pulled out a few marks from the purse and dropped them on the bar for Theo. “Meet me tomorrow. I’ll get you a seat to watch.”“Dragons up,” Theo said with a wink.Maya left her at the bar with her loch and watered-down ale. She headed up another level and out the back way onto the streets of Kinkadia. She breathed in the clean air from the valley and turned her head skyward to take in the twinkling night stars overhead. A dragon passed across the moon, briefly shadowing it. She missed flying. Gods, she seriously missed flying.She trudged across the cobblestones through the Dregs of the city of Kinkadia. The old familiar walkways were notoriously the worst part of the city. Primarily humans and half-Fae lived in squalor on the north side of the valley where the city was located, bracketed on three sides by an impressively large mountain range and a winding river running diagonally along the southern border.She should have headed straight for her home in Draco Mountain, but her h
“Aurora,” Witch whispered.The House of Dragons, first and foremost, helped raise the young dragons. Every Dragon Blessed knew each dragon by name. Over the years, they had all grown close to certain dragons. The hardest part about leaving the House of Dragons was going to be leaving the dragons.Maya would recognize Aurora anywhere for his bright seafoam green scales. He was the largest dragon of the five who were part of the tournament this year, but he made up for his scary demeanor by always being in perpetual good spirits.After Aurora left, a bright red jewel soared into the arena. Vampire was a nimble flyer. One of the reasons Maya loved her so. They had long been friends, as they shared the same mischievous nature.“Oh!” Theo gasped when Wolves burst into the arena next.He was the most beautiful of them all. His scales were midnight blue and glistened in the light. Though he was one of the smallest dragons, he was completely adept at every maneuver. Unfortunately, he was also
Maya and Marc had taken much pleasure in finding ways to add to that over the years. As Mistress constantly reminded them.Maya grinned as they entered the mountain that was her home. She could weave her way through the maze of corridors and climb her way up into all the dragon eaves. So few were accepting of a half-Fae girl here, but it still felt more like home than anywhere else.Mistress Moran dragged them both into her office. “You were both out of your beds last night. Explain yourself.”Maya kept her mouth shut. No explanation would be satisfactory for Moran. Fighting in the Dragon Ring in the Wastes? She might as well tell her that she’d completely lost her mind. Moran might believe her more.“It’s my fault,” Lyam piped up.Maya raised her eyebrows. Since when did Marc take the fall?“Explain, Marc.”“I snuck out last night to go to a tournament party,” he said solemnly. “Maya tried to stop me because we had to be here so early. Eventually, she came with me to keep an eye on m
The tournament!” she gasped.“Yes! You didn’t come home last night. We’re were all worried. I drew the short straw to come here and collect you.”“Can you keep it down?” Theo grumbled from the pallet next to Maya.“Theo, get up! It’s the day of the tournament.”“Scales,” Theo gasped, rolling over with wide eyes. “Are we late?”“Late?” Aurora asked with a stilted laugh. “We’ll be lucky if we make the trek back to the mountain before it starts. Now, get up. Let’s go.”With this new information, both girls moved at lightning speed, throwing on fresh clothes, and scrambling out of the room.Gods, how had this happened? She wasn’t particularly punctual, but she had never wanted to miss something this important. Then the night before came back to her—the fight, the winnings, Basem Nix.She winced. She’d fought Basem Nix. Scales. That wasn’t good. She had never seen Basem in person before, but she sure as hell knew his name. And the echo of it still rang in her ears. He was full-blooded Fae,
