Mate to The Dragon

My lungs burn as they try to take in oxygen while I sprint as fast as I can across the rocky slope of the mountain. My body aches with fatigue and I feel faint, but I keep pushing myself as the voices behind me grow louder. I stumble a bit over the rocks but immediately get up and continue clambering over the boulders. My boot is suddenly tangled in a twisted shrub and I yelp as I fall forward. I catch myself before my head is smashed open but the skin on my arms is scraped and bloodied. I rip the gnarled branch off my foot and stand up.My eyes lock onto a large group of men with bows and swords and I start running once again. I hear them shout and scream profanities, but I ignore them and keep running as fast as my legs will carry me.The rocks give way to grass and I growl in frustration and pause when I see the edge of the forest. The men are still following me, so I take a deep breath before forcing my body int

Everything is dark, I can’t see or hear anything. I feel a small pinch near my neck and suddenly all I see is red.I feel as though I am having a panic attack, my body jerks around uncontrollably and my eyes flit across the room, seeing everything all too quickly to form a clear image.Two golden spots come into view and everything instantly freezes. I stare into the golden eyes and can’t look away. I see something flash in his eyes, it looks like panic, but quickly turns into cold fury.What is going on?I do not know Lyza, perhaps his wolf is saying something that angers him, my dragon suggests.Werewolves can talk to their wolves? I ask.Of course, all creatures can speak with their inner form, he answers, and I suddenly feel very stupid.

I gasp at the force behind his fist, it has me convulsing. The guards have my body pinned against the wall, so I am forced to bear the pain.I know he did some damage; I can taste blood in my mouth and his fist hit the bloody gash across my stomach.Pain sears across my body and I want to scream but am suddenly distracted as Mitalonys tries to take over my body. In my pain, I can’t hold him back.I slowly feel myself lose control of my body until I can just see, hear and feel the pain that still courses through my body.I let out a snarl and my chains are ripped free from the wall. I smash my fist into one guard’s face and his body falls onto the floor, completely unconscious.I take the other guard’s head between my hands and snap his neck in seconds. The last guard runs towards me, but I deliver a roundhouse kick straight

Why is he finding it amusing to call you Lyza when you specifically asked him to call you Lyzaria? My dragon asks me.Because he thinks it’s funny to irritate me, I reply.How is that funny?It’s not really, he’s just an ass, I snort and Mitalonys chuckles a little.“Get cleaned up, I have to watch the warrior’s training in a half hour. The bathroom is through there and there are clothes in the closet that belong to my sister, but they should be about your size,” Daerius tells me.“Yeah okay,” I mutter, only half listening. When I hear the doors close, I groan and collapse onto the bed.Weariness and pain washes over me and I feel tears prick my eyes. My stomach still hurts where there is a knife gash and a massive bruis

“Wait so your name is Angel?” I ask Daerius’ sister.“Yeah, fits great doesn’t it?” She scoffs.“That’s because you try your hardest to prove that your name doesn’t fit,” a man says, walking up to us.“Oh! Lyza this is Gamma Mykael, he gets to hang out with us today. My brother never lets me leave without at least four guards and either Mykael, our Beta, or himself,” Angel mutters in annoyance.“Are you two ready to go?” He asks and I nod.A black SUV suddenly pulls up in front of us and I follow Angel inside. The inside is designed like a limo, with colorful lights running along the seats that are sideways.There is a cooler at one end and a TV at the other. I gape at the interior, ignoring Angel’s amused smile.
