Chapter 17Where is she now? Who took her? These questions filled my head instantly as the beating of my heart raced faster and louder for each second I stand here.Looking up, I noticed a CCTV camera situated right at the corner of the street. Bingo.Spinning around, I walk around and jump into the driver’s seat of my car.“Hey, where are you going?” Jared yelled jogging after me and stopping outside my car window. I sighed and pointed to the camera.He glanced over the direction I was pointing at before looking at me dead in the eye.“I’m coming with you,” He insisted. I raised my brow questioningly.Jared is a fucking playboy. So how the hell did he ever get in touch with Ava, or even as much as know her when he’s from a foreign pack?Shaking his head, he leaned his elbow on my car and sighed.“Look, I’m worried about Ava too. She’s… an old friend.” He spoke softly. I took a moment to process his words when Lucien’s voice echoed in my head in alarm.‘Hurry, we need to find mate.’

CHAPTER 19AVAI gritted my teeth and stared at the photo for a long time. I was angry at the fact that I can’t even remember. It feels like the first time I have ever seen them in my life.“The fire took away everything, except these. Your mother took extra precautions with the photo frames, thinking one day there’d be an accident. So she took all these to a friend who happens to be a witch and had her place a barrier on each.” He said almost casually. I, on the other hand, stared at him dumbfounded after hearing the word slip off his tongue. Witch? I thought witches had been completely eradicated after their leader, allegedly, violated one of the laws of the council?The news spread like wildfire.Everyone believes witches, vampires, and now dragons are races we cannot afford to let exist. The fact that not only am I a hybrid, but one with royal dragon blood, rattled me to my core.Nevertheless, it makes sense now why memories of my childhood years were always a blur.“Father once t

AVA “Evana!” I blinked and opened my eyes when I felt two hands on my shoulders, shaking them. A gasp ripped through me and my body shivered as I took in my surroundings. It was Brock. “You met your dragon, didn’t you?” He beamed at me, his lips curving into a wide grin that looked almost creepy. I shrugged the thought off and gave him a small smile. “I guess I did. She’s beautiful…” I said as he helped me sit up from the sofa. “All dragons are.” He mumbled. Something flashed in his eyes as he said so. He went to the kitchen and came back handing me a glass of milk. I thanked him and gulped down the glass before passing it back to him. “Everything still feels like a dream,” I muttered. “How so?” “She said, our people are still alive, and that I couldn’t trust--” My words got cut off just when he grabbed me by the wrist. His eyes flashing dangerously in front of mine. I gasped. “What did you just say?” He said through gritted teeth. The way he was holding my wrist hurt th

HUNTER’S POVI stared at my mate in awe. She’s beautiful, and I really did miss her so much.Right now she’s sleeping. I watch the rise and fall of her chest and smile. She had fallen asleep right after I made her come with only my fingers. I lift my hand and lick her cum off when she suddenly moans in her sleep. I chuckled, feeling light-hearted and loose that made me drop all my defenses including the mental block I set up against anyone who tries to contact me.A slice of pain cut through me when my so-called father forced his way inside my head through mind-link.‘You son of a bitch, what have you been doing?! The challenge is tomorrow night. Remember, you challenged me for the alpha title. Haven’t you brought shame enough?’I closed my eyes. ‘I’ll be there,’ I reply curtly.‘You better be or I’ll find your bitch and take her for myself, do you understand that?’ he threatened, making my wolf growl. He wanted to tear our father to shreds, not caring if he’s our own blood. Even if h

AVAEveryone halts in their spot and they all looked at me, and then at Brock. I stared at him wide-eyed, but his attention was not focused on me, but rather, Syria.Syria is too afraid to look up and she just stares down at her hands, her whole body trembling in fear. Brock has his eyes pinned on her. I can feel his heart beating erratically like it will explode any moment. Slowly, he walks toward Syria.Jared growled lowly but lets him pass and I push Hunter to the side gently. He gives me a worried look so I mindlinked him.‘It’s okay, she’s not dangerous.’ I tell him and he furrowed his brows but nods.I looked over to Syria’s direction. ‘She’s a shifter, a dragon shifter,’ I finish my words and Hunter grabbed my arm and looked me in the eye.‘Are you certain?’ He asked through mindlink.I nodded in reply and he let go of my arm, glancing at the woman named Syria.‘How?’ He asked.‘I’ll explain later. In the meantime, let’s watch the reunion of two old friends,’ I smiled at Hunter
