The Last Female Dragon

My eyes shot open suddenly, a sense of dread pooling into my stomach. I sit up in bed and groan as I realize tomorrow is my seventeenth birthday. Ma and I were supposed to go do something fun together. My mom's idea of “fun” isn’t usually anywhere close to fun though. but she tries and it’s just me and her ever since my father died, I was only four when it happened but to this day, I can’t remember how he died. Ma just says he was sick but I find that hard to believe.. . From what I remember my father was a very strong, muscular, healthy man, but all of my memories around him are foggy and clouded… Raya, my best friend, is supposed to be coming over for the night to be here in the morning for my birthday and I’m wondering where the hell she is. She’s usually already here, early as hell, jumping all over my bed and yelling in my ear. I decided to take a shower and get my mind out of the gutter. Ma is letting me skip school today and tomorrow. She only ever lets me do it when i

We started walking into the cave where Sapphire said it was fine and safe. As we’re walking I notice that I can see perfectly in the dark, maybe even more clearly than when we were down in my Ma’s secret basement. I blink my eyes, wondering if I’m imagining things. ‘How is that even possible?’ I think to myself, feeling nervous and confused. ‘Remember, Lily, I can hear your thoughts ,’ Sapphire laughs again, ‘It is very possible, we are the strongest and the most special dragon after all.’ “Right,” I mutter out loud, unsure if I’ll ever get used to this. As I’m walking, Sapphire tells me how much she wishes she had been with me all this time and how different our lives could’ve been with each other instead of without each other. I think about it and wonder what it would’ve been like… Growing up with my dragon… Knowing about the world I came from. Knowing the man who helped bring me into this world. ‘There’s one more thing I should explain to you Lily.. we will have a

I put my hands out towards Raya as if to tell her to stop, not wanting her to get any closer. She stops right before she runs into me with a confused look on her face. “What’s wrong Lily?” Raya asks carefully, studying my face and the way I stood there. “Oh, I don’t know, wolf?” Sapphire speaks out of my mouth, shocking me. I didn’t know she could do that. Raya’s eyes go wide before looking at my mother in panic. “Okay so Lily.. I understand now that you might have found out who we are.. what we are,” my mother begins to say, pausing as she tries to find the right words to say to me. “And I just want to tell you I did the best I could, leaving your father to be the best mom I could, and to raise you the right way. I am not sorry for it, however I guess you did have the right to know who and what you are, yes Lily you are a witch and dragon. You weren’t supposed to have a dragon you know.. female dragons are a dying species and the dragons magic is dying, male dragons are gett

Lily’s pov. After that went down last night I made my way home. Even if I felt revealed… there was still a part of me that wondered what could’ve happened if he was a better man. I open the front door as step inside while yawning, feeling my entire body aching. I heard shuffling from the kitchen before my mothers head pokes out. She looks guilty and ashamed but still decided to try and talk to me. “Lily… how are you doing? Are you okay?” She tries to ask, but Sapphire took over my body. “Leave us alone. My human doesn’t want to talk yet. She wants space and respect,” she says, her voice so much deeper than mine. My mothers eyes widened and her mouth opened and closed, not able to find any words. Deciding to ignore her I walked away, straight to my room. I wasn’t ready to talk to her, and… that’s okay. I’ve been in bed ever since, I couldn’t sleep or eat. I think I had a shower for three hours just standing under the water even after it turned cold. I even took my t

Lily's pov. Fuck. He’s everything a woman would want, tall and muscular, perfectly bright green eyes and blond hair. His straight nose and sharp jawline, the first things that stood out to me… He makes me want to practically drool… I’ve been coming to the midnight dance club for a week now, disguised as Chloe, watching him. Keeping my scent under control. He’s been looking for me every single time he comes, he sits at the bar and watches, waits. In hopes of finding me again… I don’t know if I can do this with him right now, with my father looking for me, I even left my mother to be safe. How could I risk it all for a relationship? Sapphire has been badgering me every single day multiple times about how he’s our fated mate, how he’s the one, we apparently need to lay our claim and take him now. Before someone else does. I just can’t, I’m not ready. For the seventh late ass night now, I sigh and get ready to take my leave. Just before I’m about to walk out the door I see R
