Davina These last two weeks have flew by me. Maliyah and I spend every other day with the dragons learning about our history and training to better control our powers. Maliyah got to meet some dragons her age and they typically take off flying playing tag. It’s nice to see her playing with kids her own age. When we are not with the dragons we are spending time with the royal family. Maliyah trains with with Aspen as much as she can. She has gotten very good at protecting herself. She is looking forward to returning home to see if she can best Mark. Today we are training with the dragons again. “Hello Katla how are you all doing this morning,” I ask. “We are well thank you.” I transform into my dragon and tower over all the other dragons. “It’s amazing. I’m quite fascinated with how you transform.” “I do wish I was able to give you all that ability. You wouldn’t have to hide in fear anymore from the humans.” Aspen said Ryuu visited him once. It’d be nice if I could speak with Ry

Davina I am extremely impressed with Maliyah’s skills. She really hasn’t been working with Aspen that long but he has done wonders in use a few short months. I am so proud of her and even more happy that she doesn’t need to rely on her powers to protect herself. I wouldn’t put it past the rogues to find a way to prevent her from using her powers or mine. Derek and I get the twins situated for the night before getting ready ourselves. I am in the showering rinsing out the shampoo when he joins me. He comes up behind me, kissing the back of my shoulder before moving to my neck. He grabs my breasts, teasing my nipples causing me to moan. “Mmm…Derek.” “Shhhh.” He continues kissing me before spinning me around, pinning me to the wall. He moves his mouth to my nipples teasing me and he continues lower until he reaches my clit. He puts my legs on his shoulders and lifts me up as he continues to tease me. I grab a fist full of his hair as I feel my core tighten. He abruptly stops and lo

Maliyah I can tell someone is here. I can hear pages of a book turning. My eyes flutter open and I raise my hand to the blinding light. I feel like I am going to be sick. I groan and lean over the side of the bed and vomit all over the floor. “Maliyah, it’s okay. You’re okay. You have a concussion and some broken ribs.” I look over and it’s Aspen. Great and I just vomited in front of him. I groan again holding my head. It’s killing me. “How long have I been out?” “Here drink this tea, it’ll help with your head pain. It’s been two days since the ball.” I look at him shocked. I can’t believe two days have gone by. I panic suddenly. “The twins?!” “They’re fine. They were not attacked. You were the objective. You fought well though. Had you not, you wouldn’t be with us right now.” “I lost though. Last thing I saw was you throwing some knives.” “One got away, the rest will never harm you again.” Meaning he killed them. I don’t feel too bad though for those that died. I throw th

Davina As soon as the meeting ends I rush upstairs to my bathroom and vomit. Shit. This is not the time, I need to be able to shift to protect my children if needed. I cannot be pregnant. I flush the toilet and head to the sink to brush my teeth. I decide to check on Maliyah when I am greeted with Aspen outside my door. “Oh Aspen you startled me.” “Sorry Davina. Are you alright.” “Oh I’m fine. The video was harder to watch than I anticipated. Two shifters were killed. Derek wants to plan a rescue mission. Will the elves be able to assist in that?” “Of course but that is not what is troubling you, is it?” How does he know? “Please don’t say anything. There is so much death lately I don’t think anyone will be up for being happy about this pregnancy.” “I think that is exactly what everyone needs. A distraction from all this death. Something happy. But I won’t say anything. That is not my place.” “Thank you. How is Maliyah?” “She’s quiet. I may have trained her well but mentally

Derek “Damn, Dimitri is there nothing you could’ve done to at least make it tastes somewhat alright?” I gag as I force myself to keep the contents down despite my stomachs protest. “I could’ve but that would’ve taken longer and I don’t think time is on our side.” He’s got a point and let it go. Dimitri, Anastasia and Gabriel chant two words. I recognize the first word but not the second. “Lanuae draconem.” I blink and find we are in the dragon realm. “Eyes and ears open people. Let’s assume they know we are here.” “Yes alpha,” reply the shifters. We take in our surroundings and us shifters immediately shift into our other forms. We can see better in the dark this way. Gabriel translates since only us shifters can speak to each other in this form. Gabriel and the others chant another spell and I can see their eyes glow. Must be something so they can see in the dark. We are well hidden in the woods. To the left is the lake from Maliyah’s drawing and on the far side of the lake i
