Anika’s absence from the Hero’s mansion had finally been noticed by the staff. Several housekeepers and aids had been trying to reach her all morning for various functions and briefings but no sign of her could be found.
Several of these servants had been placed by lord Reva to try and help him find ways to get close to the goddess of war and to keep tabs on her doings, as she would likely get intelligence faster than anyone else in the province.
One such servant nervously reported to the lord after the servants had searched the whole mansion and could not find her.
“Lord Reva, I must report… we seem to have lost tract of the goddess.”
“WHAT?” lord Reva exploded. “What do you mean you have ‘lost track’ of her? Did she just vanish into thin air?”
“umm, well, my lord, it does seem she has. No one has seen her since she retired last evening. Nothing

Anika dressed in a sleek black full-length gown with a golden dragon emblazoned up the length of the back and ending near the left shoulder. The Dragon was edged with red closest to the gold body, and a thin silver band traced the outside of the red. On her right shoulder adjacent to the dragon head, was a red series of knotwork, edged in silver. This Symbol was unique to Andrew’s Dragon squad, who had each become gods of war and the Dragon Order that had formed around them. For those who knew the symbol and the power in denoted, it was a badge of honor. Few were permitted to wear this emblem and to do so without permission was an act that carried the death penalty. Each of the gods of war had a color, fringed with silver. The color denoted them, as well as their rank, and the silver was to show subservience to the Dragon Lord. Only the Dragon Lord would wear the dragon emblazoned in pure Gold. most from the order were direct servants to one of the gods

When the car arrived the driver held the door open and assisted Andrew and Anika out. A porter came over and asked if they knew which room their party was in. “We are here for the Eisen family, please guide us to the correct room.” Said Andrew. “This way, they are gathering in the banquet hall on the left.” As they entered the hall, Peter Matthews also waked in. Spotting Anika in her black dress, he did not recognize her at first. “Hello my lady, may I say, DAM are you fine! Perhaps you would like an escort in from Durres most eligible bachelor” said Peter, with complete confidence that his reputation in Durres was enough to melt any girl he saw. He was wrong. Raya piped up into both Andrew and Anika’s thoughts, ‘oooo, can I melt his brain?!’ ‘wait, you can do that?’ asked Anika and Andrew at the same time. ‘well, I don’t know, but might be fun to try. He seems a worthy test subject don’t you think?’

At that moment Jay Eisen walked in and saw the commotion. He also noted the wet spot at Peter’s crotch. Who could scare Peter so much to publicly wet himself? He then saw the gorgeous blonde woman staring down at Peter and wondered how peter had offended a beauty such as her. Normally, Jay never saw peter without one or two lovely ladies hanging off him. Jay hung around hoping one of them would get tired of waiting for Peter and might latch on to him! “Pardon me, but may I assist in any way? Perhaps you would like to step out of the hall, you can even join me for my grandfather's birthday celebration! There is going to be plenty of food!” Jay figured if he helped get this girl's attention off peter, he could stop embarrassing himself in public, and it would be a win-win for Jay. He might get to take this lovely lady to the family party, and show off a bit in front of everyone, and peter would owe him for the diversion. “hmm, I suppose such a party might be a nice cha
Civilian Dragon lord Chapter 35 Presents Presented
Just then Matthew Eisen stood up to open the celebration. “Thank you all for coming to my 70th birthday! I see many of you have brought some very extravagant things! Let us begin with the presentation of these!” ‘Well he is not arrogant at all is he?’ snarked Raya. ‘Who doesn’t get excited about their presents?’ said Andrew. ‘Should you present yours now?’ queried Raya. ‘No, I think I will wait. It is a precious thing after all. We will see how things progress.’ Said Andrew. As the various gifts were called out, Andrew and Anika simply sat in the back watching this fake lordly act like he was being given the world. So far, Andrew knew that if his pill was on the open market, it would likely rival any gift so far. Shane Eisen stood next to the gift table, calling out gifts and values. “Granddaughter Emily Eisen brings a Jade statue, valued at $20,000.” “Cousin An brings a ch

Jay thought he might be out of trouble now, so he decided to taunt Andrew some more. “Grandfather, I am afraid I must inform you that the thorn in our side had decided to join us tonight.” “What do you mean? Who are you talking about?” asked Matthew Eisen, looking around the room. “The filthy day laborer who is squatting at our construction site and had been publicly abusive to me. That Neuropath who raped our dear Roisin and has now come to not even offer you a blessing but instead demand you pay for Roisin’s miss behavior.!” The whole audience went still as death. Sure, they had heard rumors but this was a blatant accusation, and to do this in front of Miss song who had just joined Roisin’s table along with Andrew, was inappropriate in the utmost! Miss song swung her gaze over to Roisin trying to judge the validity of the claim. Roisin was red-faced in embarrassment, but she notably did not shrug away from the man next to her. Eirwen gathere

Just as Andrew, Miss song, Anika, and Roisin left in the car sent by Miss Croft, a high-end limo, a luxury Phantom edition, pulled up to the hotel, Lord Reva hopped out with his spymaster Kage. On the ride over Kage had compiled a dossier on the Matthews family as well as the Eisen family.They walked into the hotel and were directed to the Eisen family banquet. Things were just settling down when Lord Reva walked in.“Sir, can we help you? This is a private family even” Asked Shane when he noticed the new guests.“I am looking for someone. There wouldn’t happen to be guest by the name of Andrew or Anika here would there?” said lord RevaEveryone looked at each other and scowled. The events had not left a good taste in their mouth.“Ha, um, well yes there were, however, they caused quite a disturbance and are no longer here.” Said Shane Eisen with a grin.Lord Reva’s face paled.

On the car ride to the restaurant, Roisin cried into Anika’s shoulder. On some level, she realized she was crying on a total stranger, and in front of Miss song of all things!Miss Song looked at Andrew uncertainly and could not decide what to make of him.“if you don’t mind me asking, now that you seem to be responsible for miss Roisin after what happened just now, what are your plans for her?”Andrew sat quietly thinking for a long moment, glancing slowly between the three women. Each was a unique beauty in its own right.‘get your head out of the bedroom for two seconds.’ Said Raya annoyed in his head. ‘you can't pretend to me that one went as planned. No ten million, no funds from the Matthews kid, and now you are stuck with this Roisin and expected to take care of her. How are you going to do that! YOU don’t even have a house right now!’“We can all discuss plans over dinn

***Liam, on his end, just stared at his phone. Room near penthouse… why not the penthouse? Unless Andrew was already staying there… and miss Roisin? Liam could not fathom what was going on there. Right, first a room, then clean up in the box. Shit, clean-up meant bodies. What a night.***When they were all in the car heading to the hotel, Andrew grasps Anika’s hand. She flinched at the touch at first but then settled into the telepathy.‘Are you ok?’‘Of course, I am. What do you take me for? A weak housewife? Seriously we sleep together and you go all protector.’ Retorted Anika.Raya piped in ‘he is not wrong. While you are a force of your own, you have been overwhelmed before by too many opponents.’Anika did not what to relieve that memory right now so she sighed ‘I am fine.

Andrew led the way as they headed back toward the great hall. “Come, it is time to return to Durres.” As they passed into the grand hall, Alexa let out a shocked squeak as two men grabbed her arms from either side. Anika and Andrew spun back to her and Anika drew a dagger. Conner’s two younger brothers held Alexa. “Lookie what we found. A murderous little bitch.” Lord Devos stepped out of the shadows then with a man that Alexa felt bore a striking resemblance to lieutenant Tannis. “Ah, goddess Anika, you saved me a lot of trouble bringing this traitor to me. I thank you. the Praetorian guard has already been summoned. After all, the death of the son of Senator Palmos cannot hardly be overlooked.” “Lord Governor Devos, you will release Alexa now. If you don’t, you will find I am far more than you can afford to offend.” Andrew said coldly. “Son, don’t play here.” Governor Devos said, snapping his fingers. Twenty home guard stepped out of the shadows and surrounded them. General Ezra

Alexa marveled at the militaristic atmosphere as they entered the palace of Devos Mansion. There were guards stationed at the entrance who bowed respectfully as their badges automatically lifted the gate without the guard needing to activate it.When they arrived at the front doors of the castle, six guards came to the side of the car and stood at attention. They exited the car and Anika led the way into the grand hall.“Seems they might have expected us.” Anika said softly as Alexa took in the numerous guards who lines the alcoves of the grand hall. Many were hidden in shadow and if her keen hearing had not detected their breathing, or the subtle expansion of their chests against taught leather and breast plates, she likely would have assumed they were statues. At the far end, a throne sat empty. A steward stood off to the side and raised his voice.“The Red Dragon, Anika Archeron and company.”Nothing happened, and the room fell eerily silent.“Are the devos not in?” Anika asked A

The ride to Kaibain started out quiet. Alexa stared out the window, lost in thought. The realization that she had killed one of their own soldiers over a stupid argument galled her. Raya joined her thoughts, ‘He pulled a weapon on of god of war. That is tantamount to treason.’ ‘He didn’t know I was a god of war. You only just made that appointment. I don’t wear any insignia, nor am I even in this army.’ ‘Alexa, you are my warrior. You were there under Andrew’s command, with Anika, Nash, and the rest. Everyone of them is a known god of war and every member of the dragon squad outranked that pissant. That is over 1000 soldiers from across the land that are KNOWN to outrank him. no one travels in the company of the gods of war without outranking that traitor. He still chose not only to disrespect you but to pull a weapon on you. He disobeyed a direct order from the supreme commander, and chose to use deadly force on a higher ranking office

Alexa unstrapped her blade and handed it to Andrew. Her wolf, Cole had been his name before he took on the designation of #2, handed over several blades as well. Nash checked the other soldiers to make sure they were not hiding any weapons.Satisfied, Andrew glared at Tannis, but opted to let Alexa fix this herself. “Winner gets the title and honor. Loser is demoted. No weapons. Submission wins. BEGIN!”The word begin had barely left Andrew’s lips when Alexa and Cole exploded. Alexa’s black hair billowed in the wind and she rushed forward, and then Cole powered before Her, arm out stretched. She caught hold of his arm and he swung her, tripling her speed and he added every bit of momentum he could to her flight. Alexa rocketed at the soldiers and flipped into a feet first attack at the last second, crashing into two soldier’s mid sections. They were rendered unconscious as they flew back, smashing into the side of a transport truck, the wi

“Alexa, Raya has bestowed this upon you. You are now officially one of us. As far as the king is concerned.. Meh, he does not need to know. However, I have the ability to now grant you full authority as a god of war. You will not be subject to any authority except mine and Raya’s, and with this rank, you also now have authority second only to mine and the other gods of war.”Alexa blanched, realizing just what was being bestowed upon her. “Are you sure?”“It is not up to me. This is Raya.” He said calmly. “Now, It is time we get back to our own tasks in Durres. There is still plenty left undone there, and sadly we have new business to attend.”Alexa remembered her dead wolves and nodded.“Go ahead and load up. I will be out with Anika shortly.”Alexa headed out, flanked as soon as she left the meeting hall by several wolves who had been waiting outside the doors.When th

Alexa’s eye’s opened to light streaming into her eyes. Pain radiated around her neck. The light moved away and was replaced by Anika’s face.“Lay still, Alexa. Your windpipe is damaged, but you will be fine. Likely just some bruising. Here, I am going to help you swallow this pill.” Anika gently helped her open her mouth, which sent spasms of pain along her jaw. The pill dissolved instantly when it hit her tongue. She closed her eyes as the pill did its work.When she opened her eyes again, it was to the gentle rays of dawn peaking over the lake. They had moved her to the shore and had packed sleeping bags around her. Her neck felt stiff and when she reached up, she felt the rigid frame of a brace around her neck. Anika’s face loomed over head then.“Hey, sleepy head. Don’t try to talk, try squeeze my fingers to answer me.” Anika held out two fingers. Alexa obeyed. “Now, Are you hurting?”A

Howls erupted around her as Alexa’s wolves went battle mad. The sound aroused a spark of consciousness. Raya was screaming in her mind as silverly wings enveloped her mind. Alexa’s eyes flashed with defiance as she reached up and gripped the flat top of bloodbane. Any mortal that tried this would be sliced or simply have the blade moved down out of their grip. Alexa’s grip however, viced onto the blade so tight, its motion toward her neck halted completely.The commander looked at her, shocked. Clearly he had intended on placing the blade flat against his fist and pushing it away from him, across the top of his hand, taking alexa’s head off in the process. He had maneuvered the blade a bit slowly. Perhaps out of caution, knowing its deadly power, or perhaps due to bloodloss. Either way, the blade was now frozen, inches from Alexa’s neck. She still dangled in the air, legs suspended by his massive grip but her defiant eyes were not dying like they

Alexa walked along the cliff face, glancing over her shoulder at the rock debris that covered the cave entrance. Her stomach roiled as she thought about the wolf that she had lost. She vowed to visit his family and ensure Andrew and Anika would take care of the family from now on. Lost in thought she didn’t see the crack in the rock as she passed. The shlick of a crossbow bolt being released had her spinning around and dropping low as she looked for the attacker. Behind her # 26 slumped to the, a bolt protruding from his chest, as red blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. “NO!” she cried, her black blade flashing in her hand. “Down!” she waved at the men behind her and the took cover, but not before several more bolts flew, taking down several more of her men. Carter grunted as a bolt caught him in the gut. “Alert! We are under fire” Alexa barked into her mic. The whole squad rushed in her direction, cautious of the incoming bolts. To her horror,

“For fuck sake that could have gone better.” Anika spat as they set down two injured wolves. Anika sported a slice across her bicep but it didn’t look bad.“The numbers were agaist us. But they needed to be taken out. A unit that size moving around our back door?” Said Nash, appearing out of the dark.Gad materialized next to him, “Question is what now? They know we are here. We are not going to get that kind of surprise again.”Alexa tagged her communicator, “Jackson, can you those with Thermals get a count for us?”“Give us a minute.” Came the reply.“How are our numbers here?” Nash asked, looking around.Alexa grimaced, and started looking for her wolves. “Wolf pack, sound off!”All but one answered. 28 was MIA. Likely dead. “Minor wounds mostly. A few took bolts in that last volley.” She said to Nash.“They have a cav
