The next day, Andrew spend several hours drilling Alexa. He continued to employ the 30 top trainees in her workout and pushed all of them to new limits. As a unit, they were growing at a rate that would be alarming to normal people. If the common brawlers were to meet this group of 30, it would be enough to make them shit themselves. Led by Alexa, this pack of wolves were becoming an unstoppable rabid force that would destroy any who dared cross their path. Unless….. that person happened to be Andrew!
“AGAIN!” came the command.
30 warriors surrounded Andrew as Alexa paced around the outside looking for an opening. 31 verse one was hard odds but for Andrew, this was amazing training. Attacks coming from all sides meant he had to be on the top of his game. Not to mention that now these men were trained by himself personally, they were getting to know his every move and tell. He still outclassed them, but they gave him something to work for. Alexa on the other hand was
On the far side of town, Shane Eisen’s phone rang. Glancing down, it was his father, Matthew Eisen, calling. “Dad, why are you calling?” “you need to get over to the office. Something is not right!” said Matthew. Shane was nervous in his heart as he heard his dad’s tone and wondered what might be wrong at the company, not knowing for sure, and even wondering if the millions he had used to sabotage the construction site had been discovered. Shane rushed off to the Eisen Group offices and when he entered Matthews regal office, with a worried look he said “Dad, what’s wrong? I rushed right over! Did Roisin or someone embarrass us again?” Matthew frowned. “No, its not that little harlot. Don’t mention her here! No, someone has stolen over 5 million from the corporate accounts!” Shit! Matthew never looked at the accounts! How would he know to? Did Maahes drop a hint to spite him? What a waste of a being! “5 million?! who
The next day Andrew awoke and walked with Alexa and Roisin down to breakfast. “Roisin, are things going well at the site? The new workers behaving still?” “Yes sir! Since I came back to work, I have been able to get several local businesses to work on a daily rotation to bring food to the site. It has worked out really well, and the whole staff seem thrilled to have good food each day. They have all been working really hard,” she replied excitedly. Andrew smiled as he saw her joy. “any word on the Dragon’s Lair? While a hotel is adequate, it is not perfect for long-term staying.” Asked Andrew. Indeed, while he was pleased with the accommodations, it grated on him to always have strange people around him. “I will check with Miss Croft and the community leader. It should not be long now.” She replied. “Please keep us posted, it will be good to move to quieter accommodations.” Both Alexa and Roisin flushed a bit at this. Both had been sec
“Stop!” hollered a large security guard that had been set up there by Liam. While security may look lax, Liam had prepared many men this day in preparation and had eyes out several miles in all directions, so they were aware of the approach well in advance. The guard glared at the lord butcher’s enforcer and the gathering men. “I guess you would be one of the butcher’s men then. Come to bring us more men to work the site? I am sorry but we no longer have a shortage, so we are not in need of your labor at this time.” ‘right on’ thought Raya. “You are fucking dead!” hollered the lieutenant. Then turning back to the site, he scolded “Liam! Get your ass out here! We have business to discuss!” The guard, who was one of Alexa’s wolf pack replied, “President Liam is always open for business. However, I believe his terms have already been delivered. $6 Million was the price, which is not high for the offense of the delays and destruction you caused.
Dresh looked around and hollered at the men who had defected. “Bunch of white-eyed wolves, you are all worthless Scum!” He then looked for Liam and found him standing not far outside the ring of chaos. “Liam you ruthless bastard! I will remember this account! After today, I will never end the war with you and yours!” After that, he turned and tried to leave. A deep voice boomed out “You come to my site to make trouble and now you think you can just leave? Did you ask permission?” Andrew stepped forward into the courtyard strewn with broken and moaning bodies. “Have you asked me if you may leave?” Dresh shuddered at that tone and slowly turned and saw a man who gave off an aura of pure death, a god of war, death, and destruction. Andrew’s steps were ever so soft, not making a sound on the ground, but every step pounded deep in his heart as if his very soul was being stepped on as Andrew approached. “Who are you?” Dresh was embarrassed how much
Andrew finalized things at the site and once he was sure everyone was back at work and progress was smooth, he prepared to leave. Alexa wanted to go and debrief with her wolf pack and train some more at the training ground. ‘Andrew, I want to go with Alexa,’ said Raya. ‘really?’ asked Andrew surprised. He had not been separated from Raya and the medallion since they first bonded. ‘She is unique, and I can help encourage her training. It will further enhance the wolf pack.’ Andrew was hesitant to release such a powerful relic and was not sure after so many years what it would be like to be distant from the constant mental presents of Raya. ‘Get over yourself you big sop. Surely you can be along for an afternoon. But seriously do try to stay out of trouble!’ said Raya. Apparently, Alexa had been able to hear the conversation even from a few steps away for she said aloud, “don’t worry Andrew, Dìonaidh mi gu math i.” (I will guard her well
After Andrew left, Liam collapsed into his desk chair. While he had acted calm while Andrew was here, he was quaking the whole time. Not long ago he had watched the men Andrew had trained destroy Maahess men, then both Alexa and Andrew personally destroyed the tiger themselves. The power to break bone like that was one thing, but doing it to someone like Maahes and not even flinching about the consequences was amazing. Durres would continue to be flipped on its end by this young dragon as he opened his wings. Andrew rode through town and parked his bike outside the Durres Medical Group. This pharmaceutical company had a small natural remedies clinic that it operated but its main focus was on the manufacture of various remedies and drugs. They had come to fame for a healing salve that helped prevent infection and reduced healing time from weeks to just a few days for minor cuts with far less scar tissue. Andrew strode in and introduced himself to the receptionis
Melissa was taken aback. Just hand over their secret formulation? “seriously? What could you want with the formula and why should I show you?” she demanded. Andrew sighed. “Dr. Zolan, I technically now own the formulation along with all intellectual property rights associated with this company. There are no secrets between us. While I am not a scientist, I do have medical training. Please?” Melissa hesitated for a moment before turning to a safe behind her desk and typing in a code. She withdrew a pile of paper with complex scripts on it and handed it to Andrew. “I don’t know what you hope to achieve with that. It took us years to work out that much.” She said. Andrew read through the documents for several minutes. Then he asked. “Do you have a sample?” “Ummm, yea I think…” Melissa was totally confused by this man. What was he playing at? She rummaged through her desk and found a sleeve of the powder used as samples and handed it to Andrew. Wh
After Andrew left Melissa, he headed to meet up with Roisin and Arya who should be at the Dragon Lair. As Andrew rode toward the outskirts of town, the mountains framed the background, and the rolling hill that was the Dragon Lair community came into view. The sprawling countryside was breathtaking with large canopy crimson leaf trees offsetting the standard greens. From this distance, the layout of the community made the hill side almost look like a huge dragon head was growing out of the side of the mountains, with the central road as the nose, and the lakes at the center of each of the lower sections looking like blue eyes ringed by crimson. The rooftops played in the afternoon sun like scales. There, right at the top was a ring of eight mansions, their roof tops just visible over a sea of trees that separated them from the other homes. The mansions almost looked like a crown of horns atop the dragon's head. From this angle, the Dragon Domain, the 50-acre mansion that cla
