Chapter Twenty-two
Ambrose paced the cramped motel room, chewing on his lip while he thought about what to do next. He’d found the tracking device easily enough. They’d have to work harder to get him cornered. He hasn’t been able to sleep over the last six months, thoughts and nightmares about Ariella plagued his mind. Thinking that Ariella was being forced to bend to the whim of that man. Countless images flashed through his mind that only caused him to be even angrier and more determined to save her. Any rational thought had left him long ago and he was spiraling ever downward. His phone starts to ring on the small table in the corner of the room. He takes two long strides across the room and picks it up, “What?” He says harshly, not caring how he came off as. “Excuse me?” His mother says on the other side of the line. “I am your mother and that is no way to speak to me.” He rolls his eyes but softens his voice to placate her, “I’m sorry, mom.” She hurumphs, “What is this I hear that you attac
Chapter Twenty-one
At the mention of Ambrose attacking Thelma, the Council of Crowasia was convened to discuss the severity of his actions. In a location known only to those on the Council and a handful of others, a large room with as many as twenty chairs and desks line the slightly curving walls. One chair and desk sat higher than the rest and was designated as the head of the council. Each councilor is designated to a different part of the world or department in the agency and brings much needed diverse insight to all matters brought before them. “According to reports, his companion hasn’t been seen with him since he vanished weeks ago. If he’s acting without the guidance of his dragon, then he needs to be stopped at all costs.” A stern looking gentleman shouts as if the others couldn’t hear him. His companion has learned to tune him out when his voice became so loud. “I will not tell you again, Jared,” a kindly woman says in a calm tone, “lower your voice. We can hear you just fine with the micr
Chapter twenty
As the girls were in the kitchen making lunch, Nell just sat in the living room, staring at the egg. His egg? The idea still confused him but he didn’t think he was upset about it. He hadn’t even thought about having kids until Ariella came into his life. He’s only known about the kid for an hour now and he was already anticipating this child’s arrival. Ariella was making a spinach and feta frittata while she talked to her friend, “How are your parents?” “Oh you know, what can you say when your parents run this section of the world?” “That’s true. You were always hanging out with Ambrose and I because of that” Ariella giggles. “We were all lonely kids, who found camaraderie in each other.” She raises her glass of juice in her friend’s direction. “And may we always have each other when partners get us down!” She raised her own glass. “And what’s that supposed to mean?” Nell says from the living room. “I didn’t think you could hear me from in there.” She says half heartedly a
Chapter Nineteen
“Wait wait, hold on,” Nell says stepping back and beginning to pace, “ you can’t mean to say your ‘pregnant’, can you?” “What else could it mean?” Ariella says as she flops on the couch, “I have a parasite?” “I just can’t wrap my head around it,” he runs his hands through his hair, “we only started having sex a month ago and we-“ “Did you use any form of protection” she cut him off. “You did learn how babies are made right?” “Of course I…” he paused when he realizes, “didn’t.” He turns his attention back to her, “but I was under the impression that women didn’t know until they’re almost two months along.” “In normal circumstances, but not when your companion is a dragon that lays eggs.” She retorts. “But usually they lay an egg a little after conception,” she looks at Kia who was wrapped around their egg, “but judging by the size of the egg, they were holding on until they were here.” “How DO you know any of this when-“ “You better choose your next words carefully.” She g
Chapter Eighteen
A young Ariella tossed and turned as a nightmare tormented her. Whimpers and cries of fear would slip past her lips as visions of her parents fighting off a faceless foe crossed her minds eye. Their companions layed behind her parents lifeless and still, tears stained her mother's cheeks as rage filled her eyes and let her emotions blind her judgement. Her father was no better as he fought along side his mate. Before anything else could happen she was shaken awake by her mother, "Ari! Wake up!" Ariella gasped for breath, her heart racing in her chest, Kia was frantic as well as they snuggled into one of their parent for comfort, "Mater?" she says in Latin as she finally focuses on the woman in front of her. Her mother looked like she could be her older sister. They had the same freckles and piercing hazel eyes. Her hair had more of a red undertone then being full on red like Ariella. She was as tall as Ariella if not slightly shorter. "Where's pater? What just happened to me?" "P
Chapter Seventeen
Over the next three weeks, Ariella and Nell had traveled through more then half of Italy. Very little accured while these two moved from city to city, aside from people trying to flirt with them. They had gotten souvenirs from nearly every museum they visited. Every day, Nell had to reign in his desire anytime Ariella got dressed for the day. They were currently in the hilltop city of Ragusa, in southern Italy. Ariella was looking out of the balcony that overlooked the city, wearing an oversized sweater that barely fell below her cheeks. The sun was setting on the horrizon, showing the various shops that were turning their lights on as the streets became darker, when Nell came out and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Are you enjoying the view?" He nuzzles into her neck and pulls her closer to him. "Not as much as you enjoyed our day in. I'm still sore." "I can't help it if you always look delicious. Even now with that sweater dress on, I'm getting excited." He grinds into her
