All by Myself
I want so badly to follow Max to his ‘work’, but there would be no hiding who I really am from him. He would see my true form through any illusions I cast, and my human form is only the one, so it isn’t as though I could pretend to be a whole different human. I watch what direction he heads off towards and when he is out of sight, I keep watch of his aura.
I’m sure he will be fine. There is no sign of Hafgan anywhere around this city but beyond it? I can’t tell. My sight doesn’t reach everywhere, so I just have to make sure nothing enters the city and we will be fine. At least, I hope so.
In truth, I am not even sure Hafgan will give off an aura. I assume he will, much like any other dragon, but being dead changes things. Dragons do not die naturally. They only die in combat, usually against knights, but sometimes against one another. I have never seen a dragon’s soul before.
The thought that Hafgan could sneak past me a

Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Melting Kiss
With the burning question in my mind, I go over the situation I have found myself in. Either I go back on my word since the promise made between us had been unclear and agreed upon under the wrong assumption on my part, or I continue to uphold it. It wasn’t Max’s fault I misunderstood, so I can’t be angry at anyone but myself. Yet I’m not angry at all. I should be. He is born of my enemy but wants to be with me sexually. If he hadn’t been born in this timeline, I would have assumed he was mocking me, but that’s not what this is. This feels more genuine. Even if he thought I would flee upon his wish. After a moment, I lean in closer to Max. “Do you still wish to continue the bond?” I question him. With how red his face becomes, I have my answer. “Then I shall not go back on my word, Max,” I replied to him. “For the year, I am yours.” With those words, I place my lips against his, and at first; he stiffens at my touch. This must be an unfamiliar experience for
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Dutiful Boyfriend
It has been almost a week now and any time I try to arouse Max; he stops me from going any further than a mere kiss. He easily melts into those kisses, but beyond that? Nothing. I’m feeling a little sexually frustrated at being teased like this. However, I will never force him. This is his first time. Of course, he would be nervous about it. Right? At least, that is what I keep trying to tell myself. I sigh and wait for him to come home from work. I still dislike him leaving me here when he could be at risk, but so far, nothing out of the ordinary has happened. As soon as I hear the familiar click of him unlocking the door, I rise to my feet and rush to the door to greet him. “Welcome home,” I say, wondering if he wants me to do this at all. I’m not sure how to be a boyfriend. Dragons rarely date like this. It’s all lust and desire with us, so these expectations are new to me. Max offers me a brief smile, hiding his joy at my greeting badly. “I’m home,” he mu
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Post Credit Action
As the movie draws to a close, I glance at Max. He seems to be enthralled by the whole thing, even though he has someone even more amazing right next to him. He is a complete wonder to me. How can someone want to date me, but not do anything with me?My staring catches his attention, and he narrows his gaze at me. “What?” He asks, somewhat standoffish.“I was just admiring your face,” I tease. I’m not about to let him know what is on my mind or else he might complain about my one-track mind.Max’s face flushes as he turns to look back at the ending credits of the movie. “You’re nothing like those dragons,” he then mumbles.My grin grows. “Is that an insult or a compliment?” I ask playfully. “Of course, I am not like those dragons. I’m real, they’re imagined,” I tell him, leaning in closer to Max. At first, he leans back, trying to avoid me, but soon enough, his back
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Hot or Not?
The moment I am no longer laying on top of Max, he suddenly becomes overly conscious of his lack of a top. He rests his hands on his chest, trying to hide it from me. It’s a little strange, but perhaps he has a lack of confidence? Is that why he keeps stopping me?If this is the reason, then I might encourage him to realise he has nothing to be shy about. With this in mind, I lean over and use one hand to lower his, while my other hand cups his cheek. He looks at me in surprise but doesn’t prevent me from doing so.“Max, you don’t have to hide your body from me. Whatever reason you think you have, trust me when I say this; you are sexy. Just because you wished for this doesn’t mean my actions are only because of what I originally came here to do,” I tell him. My words kept soft so he might know how genuine I am being.The way he blushes tells me I might have hit the mark on my guess. I’m not lying, exactly. I do still wa
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Coming or Going
A few days have passed now, and I am still nowhere near figuring Max out. He has avoided any attempt I have made to get close, and no matter how much I try to talk to him about his avoiding me, he just tells me it is nothing and to stop worrying about it.How can I not worry!? He says he wants to date me, but he doesn’t want to do anything more than a kiss, and even then he gives me the cold shoulder soon after. For a God, I am wondering if I am just not adequate enough for mortals? Do they have such high standards now that I am not good enough for them?All this self-inflicted torture has me going in circles in my mind and after a brief scolding by Max for once more thinking ‘only of sex’, I can’t help but get annoyed with him.“Do you even want to be my lover, Max!?” I ask him bluntly. I’m already regretting this argument of mine, but if we don’t talk this out, I am going to have blueballs for the entire year!
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Night on the Town
Finally, getting out of the house and not just shopping has me excited about what I might do or find out here. It has been too long since I have had time to just spend time to myself and although I have lived for so long, it doesn't mean I have spent any of that time pretending to be human.As soon as the two of us had gotten into more casual clothes that Max found agreeable, we were finally outside and he took me to some bars that were close to his apartment.“Be on your best behaviour!” Max warned me for the tenth time. “No magic, transformations, nothing strange!”“I know! I know,” I respond, holding up my hands innocently. “Nothing I will do will be something humans themselves cannot do. I swear on my pride as a dragon!”With a sigh, Max gives up lecturing me and instead says, “no being jealous of my friends either. You absolutely must be kind to them.”“I’ll be kind,&rdquo
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Hafgan Hints
I could sense Hafgan’s soul close by on the way home from the night out. I was sure of it, but where he was or if he was going to try to possess Max, I wasn’t certain. So far, it seemed to avoid getting close enough to him for me to get an expert judge of his plans.I could only assume Hafgan was too afraid to get close to Max at all, and that meant he knew who I was and what I was there for. What he would do now that he knew I was there, I wasn’t sure, but this avoidance of me was not mistaken for anything else.Max caught up to me and placed his hand on my arm. “Arwen? What are you doing?” He asked. He had a tipsy smile on his face from the drinking he had partaken in.“I was…” I paused. Could he not see Hafgan’s soul? I shook my head. “The soul I am after is near, but it fled when it saw me,” I told him. The way he looks up at me, all doe-eyed and sleepy. He looks so cute that I want to just e
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Museum Visit
For the next few days, Max has work, which does not settle my nerves. Now that Hafgan has shown his ugly soul-face, I cannot leave Max alone for fear he might get possessed. I try to stay out of his way of work as a whole, but I keep myself within reachable distance.I hope he doesn’t notice me. He might get upset with me for following him to work, and he has been adamant from the start for me to never do that. I don’t want to upset him now, after getting this far with him. Not that it feels like we’re a couple yet, but baby steps.For the first hour, I sense nothing irregular, so I spend most of my time outside in the gardens close by, but it doesn’t take much longer than that for Hafgan’s soul to show up. I quickly make my way inside and corner Hafgan in the sea area.“You must fight me!” I tell him, not paying much attention to the rare guest in the area. Hafgan makes no response to me, just shimmers.That is w
