*Unknown POV*“Steph what did you find out?”“The wolves are preparing for a war against the dragons.”Laughter erupted all over the room. “I told you she couldn’t do this! Listen to her, dragons?! Is she serious? Everybody knows the sirens took them out centuries ago!”“I swear! The Dragon Emperor’s daughter is with one of the lycans. She claims that he is her true mate, but the emperor says that the wolves and lycans brainwashed her. She refuses to go back home. They’ve sent two of the emperor’s men back beaten as a warning, but then the dragons sent two more who just went back torn to shreds. Cheyenne is not playing around, and now they have two dragons on their side, and…” Stephanie looked down at her hands in her lap and started picking at her nails.“And what child!!!?” Her father bellowed, causing her to jump.“I think the vampires might be on their side too,” Stephanie said as fast as she could.“WHAT!!!!?” Multiple voices were heard in unison.“It’s kind of confusing but I’ll
It was back in the 1820’s. I lived in a little village on the coast of Norway with my parents. I had volunteered to go hunting that night for my father because I needed to let my lycan out. We were both stressed out and need to blow some of it off. I had been out in the woods under the full moon for over an hour when I smelt something. My lycan pointed our nose in the air and started sniffing. There was a strong scent coming up wind, and we slowly started to follow it. Actually it was more like it was dragging us in. The closer we got, the stronger the scent of blood became. “Hello? Is anyone out here?” I hollered out but got no response. “Maybe it’s just another animal that was being hunted.” My lycan suggested. “That wouldn’t explain the sweet scent of a fresh snowfall and chocolate.” I furrowed my brows in confusion while still taking slow steps forward. Within minutes we found the source of the scents. She was lying there on the forest floor, beaten beyond recognition, and le
*Present Day* I would often find myself just staring at my second chance mate. I was still trying to accept the fact that I even had another mate. For us lycans, second chance mates are unheard of. The odds are like one in a million for our kind. So you can damn well bet that I was going to do everything I could to keep her. If she said jump, then I was asking how high? If she said kiss my shoes, then I was baseball sliding to them like they were home plate! I was falling, and falling hard at that, for this woman. The fact that she was a dragon didn’t bother me much anymore. Yes, I still worried when she would get upset, knowing she could shift at any given moment. Dragons are not known for their charity work, or kindness, or just plain out common courtesy for that matter. Dragons were ruthless, demon spawns of Satan that destroyed everything in their path, but oh were they some of the most gorgeous creatures on this planet! Tora, my mate, showed me some pictures that her sister ha
I wasn’t sure what to do at this point. Do I wake her up and question her about this? Do I let her sleep and deal with it when she gets up? I had so many questions running through my mind at the moment. As I was having an internal battle, she stirred on the couch. Her movement catching my eye and causing me to look in her direction. She felt around looking for me before sitting up and looking around the room. When our eyes met, she stood up and walked towards me. “Honey, what’s wrong?” She asked tiredly. “I’m sorry hun. I didn’t mean to wake you, but your phone was ringing and I thought it might have been Alida but I didn’t get to it in time and…” I was rambling. I was sure she would be upset with me. “Honey, it’s ok. Calm down. I have nothing to hide from you and I trust you. But why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” She asked reaching for my face. When she softly placed her hand on my face, I closed my eyes and turned into it. “You received a text message when the call was
*One Month Ago*“Babe we need to get the nursery done!” Chelsea was in a mood today.I could tell it was getting close because she was starting to do what I’ve been told is nesting. She would freak out about the smallest things not being done, or if she felt we didn’t have enough of something for the baby. Right now she was freaking out because I didn’t have the crib put together yet. She had a list a mile long for me to do.Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed doing all of it, even the 2am runs for ice cream or pickles. I did everything she asked of me. It didn’t matter what time it was or what I was doing. I dropped it all and ran to her or for her. I even put my alpha training on hold for the rest of her pregnancy so I could spend more time with her.There were times, like right now, where she would drive me up the wall though. No matter what I did, it wasn’t right or in the wrong spot.“Babe, listen to me.” I said calmly while taking her hands. “I am going to step outside for just a
My travels overseas had been going great. There was only one alpha that we had issues with. That was taken care of relatively easy and quickly. I later learned that he was a horrible alpha anyways and ran his pack on fear more than respect. Once I felt that pack was in good hands, showed the new alpha how to run things, while also giving him the contact information for the neighboring pack alpha, Gunner and I left to return home.It was so nice to be back home again. Nothing compares to the feeling that only your own bed can offer. After the surprise delivery of Darian, Gunner and I headed back to the pack house for a much-needed nap. We ended up sleeping all afternoon, into the late evening. I was awakened by my phone ringing. I groaned while rolling over and grabbing my phone off the nightstand. I looked at the caller ID to see it was one of the Alpha’s here in the states.“Wow, word gets around fast doesn’t it.” I thought to myself. Koa was still asleep so there was no comment on h
I walked around the table and knelt down by her side. Jax was watching me very closely as he knew what was going on. She was trying not to shift into her dragon right here in this room.“Mags? Is that you?” I asked quietly.When Tora’s head slowly looked in my direction, I could see yellow and orangish flecks swirling in her eyes.“Maggie. We haven’t had the chance to properly meet. I am Alida or Cheyenne, whatever you want to call me. I am the Queen Alpha for all the wolves and lycans species. I promise you, I mean no harm to Tora. She is my friend, as I hope you will be some day too.” I said as calm as I could with a soft smile on my face.Maggie let out a huff and a little grey smoke came out of Tora’s little button nose. That’s when Jax put his hand on her shoulder causing her to turn towards him.“Maggie, I am right here with her. I promised you that she wouldn’t be hurt remember?&rdq
*Jax's POV*Charlie and I started walking in the opposite direction of everyone else. There were a couple things I wanted to talk to him about that I really didn’t want anyone else hearing at the moment.“Tora and I have been talking about children, but I think we’re both worried about the outcome. We know the stronger gene will show but which of us is stronger than the other? Have you ever seen a lycan dragon hybrid before?” I asked as we walked around the woods.“Although I have not heard of nor seen, for that matter, a lycan dragon hybrid, surely you guys are not the first.” Charlie shrugged.“I’m sure in all of history that there has to be a hybrid somewhere, but Tora makes it sound like dragons hate or refuse to mate with anyone who isn’t a dragon. Something about keeping the bloodline pure, and trust me when I say, I am so sick of hearing that phrase!” I rolled my eyes thinking back to how lycans used to be and their views on keeping their bloodlines pure.“Maybe that’s why the
