Derek The next morning my eyes feel like sandpaper with the little sleep I got. I stayed up way too late studying up on the dragons. I have a feeling dad is going to try and quiz me to ensure I actually read the book. My alarm goes off at six in the morning. I groan, wanting to throw the damn thing to shut it up. I drag myself out of bed and take a cold shower to help wake me up. After showering and getting dressed I head downstairs to the kitchen to grab some breakfast before having to meet dad in the office. Miss Kat, our cook, always makes the best food. She already has my usual out french toast, eggs over easy and a mountain of crispy bacon. My stomach is growling, demanding food. “Thanks Miss Kat. As usual you’re the best,” I tell her. “No problem dear,” she says with a smile. Miss Kat is like a grandmother to everyone at the estate and treats everyone as if they are her grandchildren. She makes sure no one misses a meal and everyone takes their breaks. After eating my food I
My head is spinning from all the information dad has just thrown at us and he hasn’t even touch on any of the battles yet. Shifters tend to be quite loyal so why did so many abandon their families? It makes no sense. I wonder if they are being tricked by a lie. Or they are greedy and somehow someone discovered how to extend their life when killing a silver dragon. I have so many ideas and questions running through my head. I snap my attention back to dad’s lesson, I need to keep up. “The second silver dragon was killed three months after the first along with four other dragons. Not only were silver dragons coming up dead but now other dragons were dying. We didn’t know if it was because they were present when the silver dragon was attacked or because of a whole different reason. There were originally ten silver dragons alive at the time and now we had eight. Fairy’s were concerned but did not get involved. They are not warriors and they were using their magic to protect the creatures
“When the time comes to tell Davina about the magical world how are you suppose to break that kind of news to her. Say ‘hey guess what you’re a dragon and your biological parents and brother were murdered oh and you’re the last of your kind and we all rely on your survival’.” My sarcasm and anger are coming out but I don’t like that Davina is in the dark and there is no nice way of breaking that kind of news to someone. “Trust me Derek. We know this is life changing news and we don’t know how she will react to it. The best we can do is be there for her because she will either transform into a dragon and freak out or we can tell her first before she transforms. Either way it will be a shock for her and there is nothing we can do about that except be there for her. Her powers are driven by emotion. If she loses control she can accidentally kill someone. She’ll need help to stay calm. You are right it is going to a huge burden on her knowing a lot of people rely on her survival. It is o
I lock up and head home around eight. As I get to the Jeep I have this weird feeling someone is watching me and I look down the ally way. I don’t see anything but the hair on my neck is standing up. I quickly get in the Jeep and lock the doors. I turn on the KC lights and point them down the ally. Still nothing. I let it go and head home. On the drive home I swear the car behind me is following me until it turns down a street not far from home. I am definitely getting paranoid. When I get home I see my parents have settled on the couch to watch a movie, The Notebook for the thousandth time. I giggle. I say a quick goodnight to my parents and decide to head upstairs to read a book. I get to my room, put my bag by my desk and go to my closet to retrieve my pajamas. I do my nightly routine. I brush my teeth, floss and wash my face. I climb into bed and pull out The Witcher book I have been reading. I must have fallen asleep quickly as I start having a weird dream about dragons. There a
Derek It is agony waiting for any sort of word on what is happening at the Ortiz residence. I keep pacing in my room, checking my phone every few seconds. “Dude stop pacing. We will know something when we know something,” says Owen. I know he is just as worried as I am. His mother is one of the warriors that was called to the house. I stop pacing and sit on my bed. It is almost eleven and still no word. “I am about to march myself over there damn it. I don’t care how mad dad gets at me,” I say with frustration. I then hear the front door swing open and people are yelling. “The warriors are back,” Keila says as she barges into my room. I run downstairs to see what has happened. Dr. Ase is yelling out orders as wolves are being carried to one of the larger rooms in the house. There are several injured wolves. They would heal in time but some appear to need stitches while they heal. There are several warlocks and witches also injured and assisting Dr. Ase healing the others. I look
“So where is Davina,” I ask Shaun. He hangs his head. “I’m sorry we failed. They escaped by teleporting. The shifters that didn’t make it to a warlock or witch are being hunted as we speak, but they took her. She‘s gone,” he says. Gabriel Ortiz slams his fist on the table in frustration. “Easy Gabriel” says Dimitri, the high warlock. “We will find her.” “It is just as much my fault she is gone. I couldn’t protect her and I was there. I should have been able to protect her.” “You were outnumbered and knocked unconscious Gabriel. Don’t blame yourself. You are strong but even you have your limits. You are lucky they didn’t kill you,” Dimitri tries reassuring Gabriel. “How are we going to find her,” I ask. “Gabriel will be able to track the seal that is on her. Since he is blood related to Daniel he will be able to find her easier than another warlock. Those who cast the seal have a stronger connection,” replies Dimitri. He does’t finish the sentence. We all know what he means. Onl
Derek Two days later the wolves have fully healed, as well as the warlocks and witches. Mark has started gathering the warriors of the pack to prepare for the rescue mission. Owen is on phone ensuring humans will not interfere with our plans. Everyone is working hard to make sure this will not fail. We can’t fail twice. We don’t know how much time we have before the rogues will decide to kill Davina. Nor do we know what they are doing to her. It is bugging me why they hadn’t killed her right away. Why hadn’t they just gotten it over with? “What’s on your mind young alpha,” Dimitri asks. “I’m trying to figure out why Davina wasn’t immediately killed. It doesn’t make any sense to kidnap her,” I reply. “You have good senses Derek. You’re right, it doesn’t make sense,” he says. “Any theories,” I ask. “I have one. I believe there is a silver dragon out there wanting to absorb her powers. Which means there was another traitor among the group fifteen years ago besides your uncle,” Di
My body is exhausted. I attempt to fight him off but he is much bigger and stronger than me. All I can do is turn my head away as he rips my underwear off and pulls my dress up higher. I try my best to block out the pain from my leg. Mom has tried to describe what a girl’s first time is like but I am not prepared for how painful it actually is. He removes his jeans and possessions himself on top of me. He roughly slides himself inside me causing me to cry out. It definitely hurts. He is not gentle by any means and is swiftly moving. He has my arms pinned down, I literally cannot move. “I want to hear that scream of yours Davina.” I fight to give him what this sick prick wants and just glare at him. He grabs my bad leg causing me to scream in pain and begins thrusting even harder. “I should’ve known you are a virgin, lucky me.” I don’t even know how long it takes but when he finally finishes he leans into my ear and whispers, “Now see, was that so bad. I’ll be back later. Maybe Jack
