Drake got ready for work and came down to the mouth-watering aroma of breakfast wafting from the dining room. Usually, he prefers to eat in a nearby coffee shop near his company headquarters.

But since the day this new cook started working in the Hamilton mansion, he don't want to eat anywhere but in his house.

He finished his healthy and tasty breakfast and took his second cup of coffee in a to-go cup, which was placed beside him.

Drake got into his Bentley and drove off towards his company. One thing he loves is driving his car.

It's a luxury sedan built for the city traffic. His company is situated in the center of the city in one of the tallest towers in the world with a helipad on the terrace.

It's constructed by the Hamilton group, facilitating the dragons to shift and fly off at any given time. There are balconies on every floor, making the shifting easy.

Mostly Dragons work in his company, along with a few wolves and vampires. Humans will not dare to step inside it, with the fear of being killed. 

The ringing of his phone alerts him of the incoming call. He looked at the caller id and noticed that it is from his father.

Drake's mother died when he is only 10 years old. His father then married his stepmother Sophia after a couple of years. Drake never liked his stepmother. She is shallow and flashy. He never liked people like that.

But he want his father to be happy, so he never went against her. 

"Dad" Drake greeted his father Roland Hamilton who is the founder of the Hamilton group.

It is Drake who expanded the company and the profits were tripled in just a few years. Roland retired as soon as Drake took charge.

"How are you son?" Roland greeted his son.

Roland loves his son very much. After his first wife died Roland was devastated. But he gave him a purpose to move on.

After a few years of his wife's death, he mated with Sarah under the effect of a drug and was forced to marry her out of obligation. He never touched that woman after that night.

He just lives with her and her twin children for the sake of formality. But he did not hold any affection for Sarah. He just bears with her attitude.

"I am doing good father. Is there any matter father? You called me early today" Drake asked with worry.

Roland chuckled at his son's concern.

" I am fine son, you don't have to worry about it" Roland assured his son.

"It would be great if you could live with me in the Hamilton mansion father. I wouldn't have to worry about you then" Drake said the same words he repeats every time they talk.

"That house was built by me for your mother Drake. Every inch of that house is filled with her memories. I felt that I am betraying your mother, by marrying another woman. I cannot live there son" Roland repeated his words.

"Mother always wanted you to be happy, father. She never would feel betrayed" Drake argued.

This is their routine. Drake always tries to coax his father to come and live with him.

His father lives in a 6 bedroom luxury villa in the city, while Drake prefers Hamilton's mansion which is in the outskirts of the city. He never minded the 30-minute drive to the company as well.

"Enough about me son, I want you to come see me before going to work today" Roland requested his son.

Drake's eyebrows creased with confusion. But he decided to go see his father like his father wanted him to.

"Okay, I will be there in 10 minutes" Drake promised and disconnected the call.

He took a U-turn at the last moment and turned towards his father's villa, which is named after them as well, the Hamilton's villa.

In Hamilton's villa Sarah Hamilton is still fuming over her daughter Caroline's failure. Caroline and Carlos are sitting in their mother's room, while Sarah is pacing the floor with anger.

Sarah is a beautiful woman with her fit body, perfectly applied makeup, and a branded wrap dress.

"I gave you the drug and the perfect plan to secure your position as Drake Hamilton's mate. You couldn't even do that properly?" Sarah glared at her daughter.

Caroline looked uncomfortable.

"I did everything like you told me to mom. How would I know that he will leave the party so abruptly like that? I tried to follow him, but he is much faster than me. I lost him after a minute or so" Caroline defended herself.

"Impossible, don't lie to me, Caroline. That drug takes effect immediately. It's not possible to shift and fly that fast" Sarah glared at her daughter.

"What do you, mom? I love Drake. I am obsessed with him. I don't want anything more than to become his mate. You how powerful he is. He the most powerful one among us. Nothing works the same like it works on us" Caroline snapped.

Carlos, who sat there quietly, decided to his sister.

"She is telling the truth mom. I saw everything with my own eyes. As soon as he drank that whiskey mixed with that drug, he left the party" Carlos confirmed what his sister told his mother.

"What? How is that possible? That drug will work no matter whoever takes it. Then how did he managed to escape from its effects?" Sarah wondered out loud.

"We don't know mom. But according to the house staff in the Hamilton mansion, he came back alone the next day evening and then immediately left and returned two days later" 

"What? He came back alone? How did this even happen?" Sarah looked puzzled.

There is no way one can survive without sleeping with a female after taking that drug. Your body feels impossibly hot and one cannot control the urge to mate.

When Sarah is deep in thoughts, a human maid knocked on the door.

"What is it?" Sarah snapped at that poor maid. Who instantly paled with fear.

"Mrs Hamilton, Master Drake came" the maid relayed the message and fled away for her dear life.

"What? Drake came?" Caroline jumped from the bed and ran to greet their guest.

Sarah looked at her daughter and sighed with resignation.

"Come," she told his son, and both of them made their way downstairs to meet Drake.

Carlos is tensed to face Drake, ever since they drugged him. He is scared that, if Drake finds out that, they are the ones who mixed that drug in his drink, then he will kill them all.

"Relax, you will make him doubt us if you keep shaking like a leave" Sarah snapped at his son.

"I am scared mom" Carols whispered pathetically.

Sarah glared at her son. 

"Why can't you be like Drake? Go and stay in your room. Don't come out until he leaves" Sarah shooed her son away.

She is scared that, he might give them away.

When Caroline came down to greet Drake, he is nowhere to be found. But she could hear voices from Roland Hamilton's study. Caroline silently stood outside the door to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Drake hugged his father as soon as he saw him.

"Hey dad" he greeted and sat in a chair on the other side of the desk, opposite his father.

"Hello, son" Roland greeted his son and looked at him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Drake asked when he noticed his father starting.

"Nothing, I was just wondering, how fast time flies by" Roland replied.

Drake gave his father an amused look.

"Surely, you didn't call me here for small talk isn't it?" Drake asked in a lighter tone.

Roland chuckled at his son's comment. 

"No son, I didn't call you here for small talk" Roland agreed.

"Then what is bothering you father?" Drake asked softly.

Roland sighed heavily and looked at his son.

"Why don't you find a mate, Drake?" Roland asked abruptly.

"What?" Drake asked in confusion.

In all these years, his father never asked anything like this. He never interfered in his personal life. Why now? Drake thought.

"You are getting old son. You are in your late 30's in your human years. Even though our kind has a longer life span, I cannot wait that long for you to give me grandchildren" Roland advised his son.

"Why now father? Why so suddenly?" Drake asked with confusion.

"You are a smart man Drake. Find someone before that choice is taken away from you. Choose a girl, with whom you want to spend your life with. Don't let anyone force you to accept them out of obligation" Roland suggested.

Roland is a smart man. He know what his wife and step-children are planning to do. He doesn't want them to force his son into a corner, like they did him.

Drake looked at his father and thought about his mate. Her lips are permanently etched in his mind. Even though someone drugged him, he liked his mate. 

After he took his leave from his father, he left the villa without waiting for his step-siblings or stepmother. He is not in a mood to deal with them right now. He knows they must be eavesdropping on the conversation between him and his father. Usually, he likes to taunt them, but today he didn't care.

Drake must be cold and ruthless, but the father, not so much? otherwise, surely he would have killed sarah/Sophia for drugging him as I'm sure the evil steps will attempt to do to Nyra...

  • The dragons unidentified Mate   Happily ever after

    Drake woke up from his dream, where he saw Nyra running towards him amid wild colorful fae flowers, holding their son's hand, who looked just like Drake. He loved that dream so much, that a longing for that to come true began in his heart. But to his surprise, he saw Nyra smiling at him as soon as he was awake. "Nyra?" he touched her face to confirm if it's reality or a dream. "Drake" she whispered softly. With the soft morning light streaming from the window, her face is looking angelic. He missed her so much so that, he pulled her into a tight hug. "I missed you Nyra. I missed you so much. Do you know how scared I was when that Koni stabbed you? That was the worst moment of my life. I never wanted to see you like that ever again. I will try everything I can to protect you and our son from harm's way. I am sorry that I failed you Nyra. I am so sorry" he confessed with his face buried in her neck and breathing in her scent.

  • The dragons unidentified Mate   Please wake up

    Like Drake instructed, the guards began to whip Koni one at a time. Soon the common public began to volunteer. Koni could hold back his cries for the first two days. But after that, his body became sensitive and he could no longer hold back his cries of pain. What's worst is that, if someone is annoyed with something, they would come and whip Koni until they feel better. They don't let him eat properly or sleep properly. Whenever they feel like it, anyone could come and whip him senselessly, until he would pass out with pain. He tried to pretend that he passed out. But that lasted only an hour. They soon figured that he is acting, so now they are sparing him even he became unconscious. After 1 week of this torture, Koni began to pray to the fairy goddess that the princess should wake up soon. He no longer can bear this torture. "Please forgive me and let the princess wake up" he began to beg the goddess loudly when he could

  • The dragons unidentified Mate   Whipped

    Everyone bowed to their new king with respect. They were really happy to see that he is awake and healthy again. Dale couldn't contain his happiness after looking at Drake. "I am really happy that you are awake your highness" Dale said truthfully. Drake nodded his head, but he couldn't muster up a smile. Nyra is still in a coma, and he is angry over himself for letting Koni that close to her. 'I failed her and now she is paying the price' she thought with regret. "Let's go" Drake muttered and walked towards the dungeons with a purpose. As soon as he entered the dungeon, he saw two guards bringing George's body out of his cell. When they noticed Drake, they bowed their head. Koni is glaring daggers at Drake. "You are awake?" Koni asked with malice. Drake did not answer him. He motioned Dale to unlock the cell. Koni always thinks that Dragons are beneath him. So he looked down upon Drake as if he i

  • The dragons unidentified Mate   Killed

    Koni is in the dark cold dungeon in the winter Realm. After he was caught, he was thrown in the dungeon. No one came to talk to him or interrogate him. Everyone is worried about their king and queen. "You finally did it" George commented from the cell beside Koni's. Koni has been after Nyra since the day he found out that, she was blessed with the fairy fire. He is so crazed out of his mind, that he lost all sense of rationality and the last ounce of empathy he had. Nyra is pregnant. Everyone would be considerate towards a pregnant woman. But all Koni could see is the powers she possessed. His lust for the powers of the dragon Relic is so vast, that he didn't think for a second before stabbing her with a knife. "I did" Koni answered George's comment, even though George was not expecting one. "I never stopped for a moment to think about what I am doing. If I did, then I would have realized that what I am doin

  • The dragons unidentified Mate   Restored

    The healers, Roland, Mason, Alvin, Avery, Alpine, Dale, Dhari, Shawn, and his mate Anna, everyone rushed towards the couple, who are lying unconscious on the ground. They allowed the healers to check Nyra and Drake. To everyone's shock, Nyra's wound is healed completely. There is no scar or any mark to show that she was stabbed a few minutes ago. "Oh dear goddess" the healer murmured with shock. He checked her vitals and the baby's condition. To his shock, everything is normal, except her pulse. Her pulse rate is lower than usual but not too much for them to get concerned about. They checked Drake, but everything is fine with him as well. The healers murmured among themselves in hushed whispers. Alvin, Avery, and the others became concerned. They were anxious to know what happened to Drake and Nyra. Even they can see the wound on Nyra's body disappeared. But then again, why is she not waking up. What happene

  • The dragons unidentified Mate   Take over

    Draco kept snarling at everyone who tried to approach them. No one is powerful enough to go against him and win. They cannot even contain him for a couple of minutes to let a healer treat Nyra. Alvin, Avery, and Alpine are worried for Nyra. "Drake has to take control and snap out of his grief long enough for a healer to look at Nyra. If he doesn't, then we might lose our daughter forever" Avery sobbed with pain. She can only look at the blood that is polling all around her body. As Draco is hiding Nyra behind his wings, none of them can see how is Nyra doing. Mason and Roland heard Avery's words and they decided to go and talk to Draco. Draco snarled at Roland and Mason when they tried to approach him and Nyra. "Draco, you need to let Drake take control. Nyra needs a healer now. Only a healer can save her. The more we delay, the more the chances of her losing her life. Think about what we are trying to tell you" Roland tried to reason
