Semua Bab Sacred Flame: Bab 31 - Bab 40

After my beach hang-out with Cassius, I fell asleep on the long drive home from the burger joint. I don't remember getting into my bed, so he must have put me there. I stretched as I woke up from a blissful sleep. I have never slept that well. Maybe I need to get out into the sun more. I began my morning routine. When I came out of my bathroom there was a knock at my door, but when I opened it there was only a box with a note. The note read; ‘Put me on. It will make sense after school.’ It was signed by Conner. Well, it looks like Conner is going to be my babysitter later today during our non-date. The silly concept makes me laugh, but it feels good to have friends. I put on the Xbox T-shirt, which had some weird characters on it around the logo and jeans. I put my hair in low pigtails and apply some lip gloss. I slide on my sneakers and head to the kitchen.As the days prior, the Trio were waiting for me. I sigh because this is starting to feel like a family. I decided to show them

I lay in my bed as I slip in and out of consciousness. I try to scream for help, but my voice is barely a whisper. Pain stabs me in every one of my joints causing my body to twist into weird shapes as if I were a contortionist at a freakshow. My tendons feel as if they are a rubber band about to snap. Also, my body feels as if it is on fire, as sweat begins to bead on my forehead and drip into my eyes causing them to burn. I hear a loud crack and I scream as I am plunged into darkness.Clint’s POVWe are following our dragons the best we can as they fly towards the palace. As we are doing so, we glance at each other in bewilderment. We are all thinking the same thing ‘How could our mates have been in the palace when it was vacated for our Grand Ceremony?’ Once our dragons neared the palace, they shrunk down to the size of a medium-sized dog and flew through an open window of one of the adjoining buildings. It would have been so much easier had they remained in our bodies and guided us

This is insane. All of this is insane. I locked my door and rested my back against it. I could hear The Trio quietly talking in the hallway on the other side of my door, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. They were happy and excited no matter what they were discussing. They want me to forgive them, except for Cassius. He wants to prove himself. Should I let him? Not thinking, I throw open my door. “What am I to you?” In unison, they said, “Mate.” I abruptly slammed and locked my door before I pressed my forehead to it. Mate? How? Oh, fucking god! I pulled out all of the historical books in my room and some of my romance books too, because some truths are hidden in fiction, if you are willing to read between the lines. Did I miss something? Based on my understanding, dragons only have fated mates and mate for life like penguins. They can have a chosen mate but that bond is broken when they find a fated mate just like most shifters. Are The Trio not normal dragons?After fi

It feels so alien to have a dragon so close to me and not be the least bit fearful, but I can't doubt that Regina is mine. She knew one of my mother’s songs. She said that all the songs could have been premonitions, too. What if she's right? Could I possess a similar ability? I guess we will find out soon enough. I wish that I could speak to my parents to learn everything. The Trio had it easy because they always knew what they were and what their destinies were.Cassius slowly approaches us, “I am glad that you are willing to trust your dragon. Hopefully, in time, we can earn your trust as well. Do you think that you could allow Regina to share your body as we do our dragons?”That's a good question. Apparently, she's always been with me, but can I trust that she won't do anything stupid? Regina looks at me and then I hear her say, “We are stronger now. I won’t allow us to suffer anymore. I also promise that I won’t make you become intimate before you are ready. Just because I am sta

After my shopping trip, and my debut as a model, we returned to the palace. I mixed articles of clothing that each of them had selected because I didn't want to cause conflict. I still have no clue how this will work. “Avery, we are dragons. We need to trust our instincts,” Regina says in my mind. I know that she is most likely right, but I still feel tension. A conflict is brewing, I just know it. I don't think it is just because the Hoity Hags are still on the loose, either. This goes deeper, maybe into a past life, if such things are possible.I sit down. “Regina, do you think we had a previous life?”She pauses for a moment. “Maybe. It would explain why you are my person and I am your dragon. It might explain why we have multiple mates and why that green dragon with those sliver eyes clawed us and drove those horrible kids away. I just think we should take it day by day. We are in a good place with the Trio. We can trust them.” I think she is right. I need to just relax, but relax
