All Chapters of The Dragon's Treasure: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Kate was tired. She and Seth had left the castle in Daikon over ten days ago and they were still two days away from the front line. Traveling through the mountains was tough. The trails were hard to pass through and the road was rocky. Kate and Seth had brought their horses on the trip but the way was hard even for the surefooted mare Kate rode.Seth's stallion nudged the mare lovingly with his nose, a sign they were a pair back home, too."Giving up already, love?" Seth asked gently from behind her, his voice teasing but concerned nonetheless. She turned to look at her mate. She may be tired but she wasn't dead. The sound of his voice still sent butterflies through her stomach. It had been ten days since they had been near a bed and despite her desire to finish the mate bond, Seth refused to sleep with her on the trail with the ground as their bed. He had some noble idea that she needed to be cared for after or some other such nonsense. Oh, how the tides had turned. A few short wee

Amelia was so tired of traveling along the dirt road, sleeping in tents, and foraging for dinner. If she never saw another berry bush again in her life, she would be happy. She had long run out of the food she packed to eat along her journey, and now she was down to scavenging. The forest this far north did not have a lot of edible variety, or if it did, Amelia didn't know what was edible apart from a few plants and berries.It was lucky that she had set out in the middle of summer, there was plenty of food to be found, if not a lot of variety available. If she was to take longer than a month to find her way to the fairies, she would be met with winter. That meant she would have to hunt in wolf form, something she was not very fond of.The road through Daikon was long, rough, and dark. The mountains kept the path in shadows most of the day and the nights felt long as they seemed to stretch longer in the valley of mountains. She had set out from Daikon, her purpose clear for the first

Susanna lay naked against Logan's chest, her heart beating wildly, her neck bearing a new marking that she would wear proudly."That was too long coming," Logan said with a content smile on his face. He held her close as she snuggled into his chest."Do you think they will need us for a while?" She asked, looking up at Logan with a glint in her eyes."I'm sure they can spare another ten minutes," he said with a smirk as he rolled her under him and kissed her thoroughly. She laughed as he pressed his body against hers and her laughs became moans against the feel of him against her. It was short-lived as Logan went still, his body frozen in horror as he listened to some unknown voice in his head. Susanna knew the look, she had seen it on her father's face as he spoke with Uncle Richard through their pack bond. Someone from Logan's tribe was talking to him. "What is it?" Susanna asked, frowning up at her mate. She could feel his trepidation through the bond that now existed between the

Izzy felt the jostling of the horse before she reached a fully conscious state. The lull of the ride and the pounding in her head made her reluctant to open her eyes. Her head was pounding and every gallop made her temple bang into the hard surface under her cheek. She was being held tightly, like a child. Her legs were wrapped around the waist of the man holding her and her torso was held against his chest. The smell was unfamiliar but it still made Izzy feel queasy. It took a few moments before she remembered what had happened in Daikon. She had been taken by Cliff and two men that rode with him. She sat up with a gasp of unease."Don't move too fast or you'll fall off," Cliff said softly in her ear. His voice was low and soothing.She looked around but she didn't see any other riders. She must have dreamt of the others in his party. All she could see was Cliff and an empty trail behind them."Where are we?" she asked softly, clinging to his shirt to avoid falling. She didn't want
