The Prophecy Unfolds: Dragon Queen (21 page)

Hands,
teeth,lips fingers caressing, sucking, kissing and take me to heaven
on Earth. I was thoroughly used up and loved every minute of it
before we all finally fell into a deep slumber. Arms and legs akimbo.

The
hardest part was the following morning trying to climb over all the
bodies in the sleeping pit and giggling and panicking I wouldn’t
make it to the toilet in time. My babies making sure I hurried by
kicking my bladder a time or two.

One
look in the mirror had me horrified. I looked like something the cat
had dragged in. I quickly climbed in to the shower relishing the
opportunity to some time alone.

I
only got a few minutes of this though as one by one I was joined by
my enthusiastic mates.

When
we had all dressed and breakfasted we set about planning our rescue
of Amrinth. As they had heard my conversation, they already knew what
little detail I could give them. All we knew was that she was being
kept in a cavern, or caverns North of Bream. Not an awful lot to go
on. It comforted me to know that they all planned to accompany on
this venture and that my powers seemed stronger the closer they all
were to me.

Patros
was the least eager about the plan despite being a dragon rider. I
was pregnant with his babies and he couldn’t get that fact out
of his mind. I too worried about this, who wouldn’t be?

Who
was this mysterious wizard that had plans to prevent the prophecy
from being fulfilled, and so desperately wanted to capture me. The
malevolence that permeated the cavern surrounding Amrinth ,did not
bode well for this rescue attempt.

It
was decided that would we wait for the elite werewolves and any other
wolves available to arrive at the lair. That would leave some to
guard the pack-house. As we still had no clue what happened to
Aston’s cousin, Lucinda we couldn’t risk leaving it
unguarded.

An
initial foray would be made by a few of the dragons with their
respective dragon riders. This would be a scouting mission North of
Bream. Maybe one of the dragons might be able to sense Amrinth as
they flew across the land or see something meaningful on the ground.
Although in my heart of hearts I knew this was probably a long shot.
This wizard was too wile for that. I thought about the powers that I
now had and then looked over at Patros as he turned and met me eye to
eye.

“
What
are you thinking? I can hear the gears of your mind turning but can’t
discern what about?”

“
I
was thinking that you would be so much stronger if you were part
werewolf like myself.” And I looked at the others who simply
nodded in turn.

“
You
want me to become part werewolf?” Patros replied shocked.

“
What’s
so bad about being part werewolf?” Vanda accused. “It is
good enough for Alex. Why not you? I think it is a brilliant idea”

The
others nodded their assent, so I went across and held Patros’s
hand. Tit for tat. They had soothed me often enough maybe it was time
for me to try and see if I had this skill too?

I
did.

His
fears allayed for now Patros agreed tentatively that maybe this would
be a good idea but he needed to give it some thought. I agreed to
give him until that evening to decide.

Meanwhile
Matteo, and his dragon Tarin, were delegated to travel back to the
pack-house with both Vanda and Leon. In order to convey the details
of our plan. He was accompanied by another dragon rider called Petros
and his dragon Stevos.

The
werewolves planned to travel back the following morning, after some
rest. Tired werewolves would be no use in this, we needed them
fighting fit. They had been instructed to bring along any tools they
thought we might need such as grappling hooks, rope ladders and
ropes. Also guns, knives and swords. In fact anything they thought
might help us in the fight to free Amrinth.

We
needed a realistic strategy to win the upcoming fight but what kind
of strategy was needed? We didn’t know where we would be
fighting but it sounded like it might be in a cavern. So below ground
at the very least. We had no clue of who,or how many we would be
fighting. Was our attempt to rescue Amrinth doomed before we even
attempted it? We needed an edge, something extraordinary to guarantee
success.

I
began to think about the electricity that appeared whenever my mates
and I were together. Was there some way to harness this electricity
and use it. It had got stronger with each subsequent mating, it was
worth a try.

We
would have to wait until we were all together to at least attempt
anything of this kind with any chance of success.

In
the intervening time I had other fish to fry and a reluctant dragon
rider that needed to be persuaded that turning into a werewolf wasn’t
the end of the world, but the beginning of something.

Once
Aston, Leon, Patros, and Talos were all back in the lair, I decided
it was my turn to cook something and work out how to use the range.

It
couldn’t be that hard, could it?

I
gathered the ingredients I would need then tried in vain to light the
range. I finally admitted defeat after a frustrating half an hour,and
a multitude of offers to help. My mates all shot forward at once and
I stamped away and sat at the table until the range was well and
truly lit.

Once
I had calmed down I got back up and began to prepare the evening
meal. My way of working through a problem is to distract myself and
ponder possibilities. If only I could find a way to harness the
static electrical power we generated. I was sure I could use it to
our advantage.

My
mates were working on other possibilities. This involved the use of
the many and varied maps of the terrain beyond Bream. Basically
second guessing where the caverns, or cavern might be.

This
wasn’t as useless as it sounds as by the end of the evening a
few distinct possibilities had been isolated.

My
mates helped me gather what I had prepared for us all to eat and set
the table so that we could all sit down as a family for our evening
meal. I then decided to test my theories about the static and with
everyone around the table concentrating, focused my mind. At first
nothing happened. Then I had my first success. A small blue ball of
light began to appear in the air between us, but as soon as someone
lost concentration it vanished. At least I knew it was possible. I
didn’t think it would help us tomorrow or any time soon, but
one day maybe it would.

Patros
was looking a little pensive so I decided to talk about the elephant
in the room, but in private.

I
said I was taking a shower and they all stood to follow me. I looked
around and said out loud. “Just Patros for now please. We can
talk while we wash each other. I will send to you when you can join
us.”

Aston
and Vanda realised what I was up to and sat back down. Pouring
another glass of wine each.

We
stripped speedily in the bathroom as the water warmed up. Not talking
straight away but spent a pleasant time washing each other. By the
time Patros had made sure every inch of me was clean I was dripping,
and hoped it would be positive response to my request to bite him and
make give him my venom. The thought of it arousing me further as I
began to grumble and growl just to think of it. Biting my mate was
such an erotic thought.

I
then heard Aston call out to me that he were going to the hall for a
while and they would see me soon. Subtlety, obviously not one of his
traits. I knew this was said in order for myself and Patros to have
some time alone in the bedroom.

Patros
looked at me, cocking his head to the side slightly with a big cheeky
grin on his face.

“
I
think that is my cue to take you back to the bedroom and the sleeping
pit. I think we have a little time to play. Don’t you?”

I
nodded with a mischievous smirk on my face.

Patros’s
cock jutting proudly to attention.
Time to play indeed!

Before
long we were both hot and sweaty, my incisors extended with venom
dripping from them in anticipation of what was to come. As we both
reached boiling point and eventual climax I bit deep into his throat.
The bite sending Patros over the edge as his hot seed jetted into me.
My bite extending both of our orgasms beyond human bounds. I heard
his heart racing faster as the venom took hold and he groaned loudly.

The
mating occurred twice more until both of us lay exhausted. Aston must
have found somewhere to stop as he didn’t reappear that night.
This being a mating ritual of sorts he felt that we should have some
time alone.

We
were soon both in the arms of Morpheus and slept soundly through what
remained of the night.

The
next morning Aston wasn’t quite so generous and joined us in
the pit for his fair share of my body. I think my days of having any
sort of lie in were well and truly over.

Zarina
joined us for breakfast and Patros remarked out loud, “Stop
it.”

I
turned and said “Stop what?”

“
I
Wasn’t talking to you but to all of them.” Pointing to
both werewolves in turn who chuckled a little in response.

“
Well,
I for one think he looks different already.” Stated Zarina. I
turned and scrutinised Patros, taking him in from head to toe and
nodded.

“
I
have to agree. His skin and eyes are brighter, almost luminous like
mine became.”

“
I
do feel different. Just can’t put my finger on how different
though. Stronger. A little faster and my muscles seem larger and more
toned.” Remarked Patros.

Aston
sent this time, observing. “I for one can hear you better in
the mind link too. Clearer and louder than before,and with far less
effort .”

As
the day went on, and we looked at ways to overcome the wizard, and
possibly the automatons we may face. My eyes would drift from time to
time toward Patros. I noticed that the others were doing the same His
changes becoming more pronounced as time passed.

Chapter
13.

By
the time we had all assembled in the hall for the evening meal others
were beginning to notice a change. It was as if any change in one of
us affected all of us in turn. My hearing was sharper and as a
consequence I heard the comments being whispered around the room
easily. The other dragon riders were aware of the changes but
couldn’t fathom how they had come about. Soon we would have to
share this latest development with them. Zarina and Matteo seemed to
have forged a bond over the last couple of days, maybe they would
become mated and alter each other.

I
turned to face Aston and Patros and sent
Why have the
factions never mated and shared venom before? Surely this is not the
first time members of different factions have fell for each other?

Patros
shrugged and Aston shook his head a little
Maybe they have
Alex but I have never heard of this happening before. What about you
Patros?

Not
heard of this happening to any of the dragon riders. We tend to keep
pretty much to ourselves. With a hefty dose of mistrust built into
the differing factions it has never been an issue. When are the other
members of the pack due back?

Tomorrow
I believe
I responded
,
looking over at Aston

Yes.
They will get here in the early evening. I suggest tomorrow we put in
some practice in the training rooms here. I think Alex should join us
to train a little although she won’t be coming with us on the
rescue mission
