Alaric’s POV
I stand there amazed, and feeling a little guilty. If I had known they were still here I would have come back sooner. As the years went by I seemed to have forgotten this place existed.
“Luna was a gift from my grandmother before she passed away. I was keeping her in this garden as it’s protector. When I found my mate, I had planned on gifting her on our wedding day. She would then lead my mate back to this garden.” I stated as I ran my fingers through her beautiful violet mane.
“I am so sorry girl, I forgot to come visit. I didn’t know you were still here waiting.” I apologized rubbing her lovingly.
These fairies have always been over the top. It warms my heart seeing all these beautiful creatures in perfect harmony. Liza is right, this is the perfect place for us. Just like the fairy Queen and her followers, the garden fairies began dancing arou
Wedding DayLisa’s POVI still can’t believe we have to rush the wedding, but mostly because I have to mate in dragon form in front of everyone. Mom has added a few finishing touches to my dress magically of course. I keep staring at the woman in the mirror not recognizing her. I just wished my dad and brothers were here. Tears threaten to escape when Amanda starts shouting.“Oh no you don’t. Don’t you go ruin my master piece, or do you want to sit for another four hours redoing it all?” She huffed with her hands on her hips.Throwing my hands up in surrender I shake my head.“No way. Just thinking of dad.” I sadly admit.I had always though he would be the one to walk me down the isle. Dominic volunteered to in his place, but still it hurt knowing
I’minthewoods running when I smell her again. Thatscent is so alluring my wolf sped up trying to locate her. Just up ahead there she was.My dream angel. Her solid white fur, the purple swirls matching my own blue ones acontrast to the evergreen forest.She knowsI am here, she looks my way, then takes off.She enjoys the cat and mouse game as much asI do. I keep going until I almost get her. Thistime she doesn’t disappear. There is abeautiful woman standing there stroking herfur.“Hello Dominic. We have been waiting for you.”“Who are you? Whyare you both in my dreams?”“My child, I am Serene. I have heard your cries for a mate. One of your own. However, now is not the time todiscuss this. You must go back; you must save the missing females. Things are much worse than they appear! Call all the packs, spread the wo
Liza“Come back here you slut!” yells my step father. “When I get my hands on you, I promise you, that you will regret it.”Running thru the dark streets, I can’t believe I got away! I can hear my heartbeat pumping in my ears, but I have to keep moving. If my step father catches me, I know he will finish what he started in my bedroom. No!! I can’t go back.'I just need to make it to Amanda's house. There, I can be safe, until I can figure out what to do,!'I say to myself.I kept running as fast as I could down the road. To my right, I noticed the short cut Amanda and I always took when we were younger, so I headed straight for it. I can’t shake the feeling that I am being watched, and I just hope and pray my step father hasn’t caught up to me.As I round the corner I duck behind the dumpster, just as I hear footsteps approaching
One year Ago... Liza I wake up, my body still sore from being mom's punching bag last night. I slowly sit up in bed, wincing from the pain. I ignore it the best I can, as I continue to accept that this is my new life. I can still taste the blood on my tongue from the split lip, I slowly make my way into the bathroom. I turn the water on in the tub as hot as I can stand it, trying to ease some of the stiffness. Slowly I undress and begin to inspect the damages.Looking in the mirror, I can see the bruising on my chest and stomach,yeap a few broken ribs, dried blood down the side of my face from the busted lip, black eye and more bruises across my back.(Hell, you could play tic-tac-toe the way they conmected.)I slowly lower myself in the tub, biting my lip as the water burns the cuts. Mom didn't always treat me li
AlaricSitting in the office going over the reports for the latest spy satellite launch, Alaric tries to make sure it’s ready on time. He became the CEO five years ago when his father passed away, and has tripled the size of the company since then. Phoenix Telecommunications is the top Satellite developer in New York City. With clients from NASA all the way to military even the Mafia. Sure being the Apples most eligible bachelor has it’s perks but at 200 years old he is ready to settle down and start a family. His human side appears to be a 30 year old man but his dragon Draco knows time is running out to help replenish the dragon community.‘Don’t lose hope I can sense her near us!’ comforts his dragon Draco.‘I’m not but I grow bored with these human females. Always throwing themselves at us. None can ever pass the test and it’s tiring! If we don’t mate soon our line dies with us!’ Alaric states.'Ugh!
**Trigger ⚠️warning domestic violence and abuse scene.**...IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO READ THIS SCROLL DOWN UNTIL YOU SEE THE NEXT BOLD SENTENCE.............As soon as I walk into the house I knew I was going to regret it. Yes I skipped school, but I get tired of having to see the look of pity on everyone’s face especially my best friend Amanda Jennings. We both are 17 and have been friends since we were in diapers. She is the one person I can talk to about what is really going on inside my house.I stick my head in the door and notice the coast is clear. Or so I thought. As I quietly shut the front door I tip toe my way up the stairs trying to sneak into my room. As soon as my foot barely grazes the first step I am hit with a large cast iron skillet on the back of my head. Barely able to hear, my mother screeches, “ you thought you could get away with it didn’
AmandaAfter we hung up last night I tossed and turned knowing something wasn’t right and I would find out what it was. “Good morning! Be on the way in 5 see you soon!” Liza’s text read. I will make sure she tells me the truth one way or another so I hurriedly got dressed, and drove to the cemetery as fast as I could. I got out of my car and went to her dad’s headstone and waited. After a few minutes passed I could see her slowly walking my way, wincing as she walked towards where I was sitting. Jumping up I ran to her, grabbing her face lightly. Turning it side to side I can barely make out the bruises because of her makeup, but I definitely can see them.“Who the fuck did this to you Liz? And don’t you dare say it’s nothing, or you fell into the damned door again. I swear I will go to your mom and ask her just how many times you can fall into a door knob!!”Seeing her panicked state I knew I was right so I softly poked her sides a
T͟h͟e͟ I͟n͟t͟e͟r͟v͟i͟e͟w͟: Alaric‘Damnit!! That was close I could sense her. Where did she go I want Mate now!’ Draco shouted in my head.‘I know so do I. But we cannot lose control like that! You know we cannot shift in front of the humans! It is one of our most sacred laws. The only time we can show our animal forms is if the human is our mate!! Our very existence depends on it you must stay in control. We will find her I promise!’ I try my best to regain control and finally Draco relaxes, sensing I too desire our mate. Finally giving me complete control once again. I’d rather go the way our mate has gone but I have to get thru this interview, otherwise I know Jessika would use this as a way to continue to pester me on a daily bases. Groaning I park in the usual spot get out and straighten my clothes. Thankfully the near shift didn’t destroy my clothes so wouldn’t have to explain a wardrobe change.
