Chapter Twenty-Three

Anaki

I had a problem. A huge problem. Make that three since two were my dicks, the other my dragon. He had broken through and used my voice to speak his wants. While no dragon shifter can hear the voice of their reptile inside them, we know their desires. We feel what they want, what makes them tick.

Then, how in all the holy moon did his growls break through, and he use my voice?

My body was hot on the inside, radiating a heat I had never experienced.

I was young when I left the clan, had just received my dragon and found out who my mate was.

I never went through a delirious rut, didn’t know how it felt because my heart and soul were far too broken to make my body produce the hormones for it.

This must have been it, and I think it had to do with Abuela and that cursed empty bottle.

I gritted my teeth. In the process, I gripped hold of Elena. She whined and ground her ass into my cocks once again .

“I could go again,” she purred.

Fuck, I wanted that. I wanted it too much. This time I wanted to shove both my cocks inside her pussy and stretch her until she couldn’t take anymore.

But I wasn’t in control right now, that was for certain. My dragon came out at the peak of my climax, so I had no control of my thrusts and could have ripped her asshole right open. I’m in no way small. My lubricant coated her fine, but I could feel his overwhelming need to claim her.

We haven’t even told her about soul mates, the ultimate connection, how permanent it was. We haven’t even told her about the claiming, and his wants were just to claim her without her consent.

What if he did… and I couldn’t control it?

I slipped my cocks from her body and we both groaned. I felt utterly cold when I backed away from her and rose to my hands and knees.

My dragon roared inside me. His anger radiated through my body. I felt a sharp pang in my stomach and my cocks throbbed. They both leaked lubricant to be put inside her body.

“More,” my mouth moved against my will.

Elena glanced over her shoulder; her tanned skin glowed with the sheen of sweat on her body. When she moved her legs, my eyes darted between those parted thighs and watched my come leak out of her body.

Ah, fuck!

I took my fingers and shoved it back inside her cunt. My mate’s eyes rolled back into her head, and she spread her legs more.

“Fuck, Anaki, you are freakier than I thought.”

Inside, I was cringing because it wasn’t me at all.

“I need you to run.” I panted while my fingers pumped inside her.

She lifted her head and raised her brow. Her lips parted when my fingers hit a tender spot .

“And why in the hell would I do that?” Her breasts rose and fell. My dragon’s tongue swiped across my lips, and then I attached myself to her hardened nipple.

“My dragon,” I mumbled against her skin, “is fighting for control, and I need you to go.”

Elena cried out; her hips rode my fingers until completion. My hands gripped her hips and lined up both her holes for me to fuck her both in the ass and pussy again.

“Elena!” I barked. Sweat beaded down my brow. “You must jump in the pond, clean your body, and run.”

My dragon growled, it rumbled, vibrating my cock that lay over her pussy. She whined and shook her head. “But I want it. Why do you want to—”

“Trust me!” I gritted my teeth and leaned back on my knees. I felt more scales run up my neck, and suddenly, my jaw cracked.

Elena stared up at me with wide eyes and crawled away from me. “What’s happening?”

Then I smelled something I didn’t want to ever smell from her when she looked at me. Fear.

“I won’t hurt you. He won’t hurt you. Just… don’t want him to fuck you.”

I pounded my fist into the ground with a force that reverberated through my entire being.

My arms swelled with thickly corded muscles, transforming my physique into one that felt unnaturally top-heavy.

My fingers elongated and thinned, their form stretching and twisting until they resembled the long, bony appendages of a lizard, overlaying my original human hands with my dragon form.

“I need you to go!” I yelled again. “Now!”

I yelled out, only for it to turn into a dragon’s roar .

Elena scooted away from me. Not even grabbing her dress. She jumped into the pond, drenching herself from head to toe.

I didn't care where she disappeared to, as the raging inferno inside me consumed me. The dragon within thrashed violently, clawing and roaring, threatening to break free at any moment. I fought with every ounce of strength I had, desperately trying to cage the beast within.

On top of it all, my body was hot, my cocks pulsing.

I pushed my head into the moss, and my back broke behind me. I let out another scream, which became a roar. I rolled on the ground, my arms and body breaking. This was more painful than the first time I shifted. Was it because it had been that long?

My head felt like it was being split in two as I felt tiny knives nick my skin all over my body. My spine elongated, and the claws on my feet lengthened. Soon, my face had contorted, my yells, growls, more dragon than human.

No, no, no. I chanted in my head. You cannot take her. Not like this. What the hell do you think you are doing?

A deep, dark chuckle resonated through the ground beneath us and shook the earth like a low, rumbling earthquake.

My body extended with feline grace, our back arching high into the air while our front claws stretched wide and strong before us.

The groan that escaped was a low, guttural sound, echoing from my throat as our vivid coral horns brushed against the lofty, whispering branches of the tallest willows, their leaves rustling gently in response.

“You forget we are an animal, Anaki. While your time was short, having me awake within your body before we were rejected, you would have thought to move faster to claim the human female.”

I banged my head from within my dragon’s body. It was an odd sensation. I had little time inside my dragon’s body when he was in control. I only had him for the expanse of a week before I met my mate at the grove, before the rejection.

I was young, na?ve, and still trying to learn the ways of the development of my body.

“That’s why I have been slow. She is human. You know she’s had a traumatic past, you can’t just claim her, it has to be her choice,” I pleaded.

Our body slunk into the pond and I felt the refreshing water run over our scales.

It felt so good as our body became one with the water, feeling the coolness help alleviate the heat within our body.

Our cocks still twitched, but soon they were sucked up into the seam where they would be protected just like any other reptilian.

Our head poked out of the water and came out on the other side.

“That is where you are wrong,” my dragon said.

Our firm legs stepped on the soft ground on the other side.

Despite our large body, we were silent as we stepped and weaved through the trees.

He stuck our nose up into the air and took in large breaths.

Our nose flared, and I could smell my mate’s scent come in stronger than ever before.

Shit.

“We will not have her reject us; we will not give her a chance to. She. Is. Ours.”

He didn’t let out a roar like I was expecting, instead, his feet quickened, the fins on our back and tail lowered to our body as he speedily raced through the woods. Our long neck looked behind bushes, around trees. He even dared to climb a tree.

Water dragons don’t typically climb trees, our caves are lower to the ground, at least a body length or two high, but he was climbing three or four body lengths up.

There was no fear felt, just determination, when he climbed high to the top of the swaying tree. The sun was touching the tops of the trees, ready to set in the distance. The territory was vast, but Elena was human, and she wasn’t used to running. She couldn’t have gone far.

“ I urge you to stop this,” I begged. “ Don’t claim her. Give me back control.”

My dragon ignored me and climbed down from the tree.

He began stalking through the foliage. He was now concentrating on the hunt.

It was a more primitive form of the dragons; it wasn’t practiced anymore.

Our mates accepted the bond within our clan, but with our history, this had sparked something new and different that I was never taught in the teachings of our history.

I don’t know what to do. If I could pull at my hair, I would. The thought of being rejected by Elena was strong in the beginning, but the warmth and, dare I say, love that I felt for her was strong, and how she clung to me made me know she would accept us.

My dragon didn’t understand that.

And now he was hunting her because he was afraid of the potential rejection.

The deeper we went into the forest, the more frantic he became. Her scent had faded to near nonexistent, and even I became worried. Where the fuck did she go?

As darkness fell over the forest, our senses heightened, and we could hear the smallest of sounds.

Our dragon's nose twitched in the air, still focused on Elena's scent.

The tension between us was palpable. Elena was nowhere, and I had no way to call for her or members from the Iron Fang.

I was utterly alone with my asshole of a dragon.

Suddenly, a rustling in the bushes ahead caught our attention. Our dragon's eyes narrowed, and he stood completely still for a moment, listening intently. Then, with a sudden burst of speed, he leaped forward quietly when we heard growls and pants.

“So big!” I heard a female whine. “Shit, I’m going to be ripped in half!” My dragon’s head perked up and stalked forward. The voice was familiar, and when we peered through the tops of the trees, we saw a sight that will forever be ingrained into our minds.

It was Elena’s sister, Emm being fucked by… Locke. I could smell his scent, but I had never seen him like the beast he was now.

His hairy, two-legged figure hovered over her, his breath heaved and was taken in ragged breaths. Emm back was pushed over a log, the moonlight lighting her face. Her eyes were shut while he fucked her into oblivion.

I could have gone without ever seeing this.

“Fuck me!” she cried, her voice hoarse with passion. “Fuck me harder!”

I’m going to be sick. That’s my mate’s sister.

My dragon shuddered in disgust, and I heard dry heaving come from the other side of the clearing. My dragon’s head lifted, and I felt our lips curling over our fangs.

Elena.

“So gross!” she whispered and covered her eyes. Her scent was very muted, and it was because of the mud and the hormones that had surrounded the area. She had run right toward her sister’s camper, where she had been staying. No wonder we hadn’t smelled her.

While Locke continued to… do whatever he was doing to the Iron Fang’s future Luna, we hid in the forest and slithered to the other side. I screamed inside my dragon, trying to warn her to get away, but it was all futile.

He had one desire, and that was to grab Elena. I just hope to the goddess he wouldn’t do it right here alongside Locke and Emm.

Elena’s eyes were closed, her hands next to her ears. Her body was completely naked, and my heart was crushed to see that she had to be freezing all afternoon out in the open, no longer in the fae’s territory.

My dragon chuckled deeply. His nose lowered and brushed the side of her face. She stilled and her eyes opened slowly, lifted her head, and stared back at us.

“Mine,” he whispered, and she opened her mouth to scream.
