At Thane's gesturing, Rita stepped inside only to stall as she crossed the arched doorway. The store's interior was pleasantly free of the clutter she expected from an Apothecary. Instead of tall, narrow shelves packed with jars and vials, neat, organized rows of empty glass display cases occupied the floor.
But most peculiarly, a heavy tome floated in front of each display case, charmed by magic.
Rita observed far more oddities, such as the lack of a store counter for...

When Rita received Thane's letter in the middle of the night, she eagerly accepted his proposal to hold an exclusive interview with the promise that she could have an exclusive position in his future company.
The truth was that Rita could care less about Thane's job offer or his bold claim of revolutionizing the alchemical industry. All she wanted was to prove how much of a bumbling idiot Thane Fae was, just like the rest of Britain's wizarding nobles.
Her hatred of hi...

'It worked,' Thane thought in disbelief. As his shock faded, he reached out and picked up the small wooden box that had appeared. Taking off the lid, Thane looked inside and stared at the neatly wrapped bundle of Dittany, a plant with far-spaced circular leaves and powerful healing properties. 'It actually worked.'
While Thane could have relied on the potency and marked-down prices of his alchemical goods to dominate the market, he realized that he needed an x-f...

As Thane moved to enter the store, he frowned at the old, rickety wooden door, which was out of place in the sleek aesthetic he was aiming for. Thane sent a bolt of silver flames at the door with a wave of hand, which went up like the dry timber it was. The door turned into a pile of smoldering ash, which Thane swept aside with his foot as he molded the stone again, coaxing it to form an arch out of large, rough pieces of uncarved stone.
Thane inscribed th...

"You did what?!" Daphne asked in disbelief as Thane moved in between grow beds, wielding a pair of bladed tweezers with absolute precision as he took clippings and samples, "I can't believe you've been hiding this from me for three weeks?! You do realize the reputation that woman has? "
"Yes, which is why I knew she would agree to interview me. It's also what will draw the most attention," Thane replied, waving his hand, shepherding a few scattered pedals ...

Thane stumbled back as he found himself standing back in front of his dragon, who watched him expectantly.
"What was that!" Thane exclaimed, his mind still reeling from the memory as countless phantom sensations sent tingling pulses up and down his spine. Equal parts awe and terror gripped Thane's heart as his mind replayed the countless spectacles performed by beings so powerful there was no other word to describe them but gods.
"That was our birth," Thane's dragon re...

"Oh, come on. We've known each other for more than five thousand years. I know you know my name!" The fae exclaimed, seemingly angry, but a massive grin split his face.
Magala snorted, flattening the moss in front of him, "I should have scorched your race from this planet before they discovered the mystic arts."
Despite being threatened, the Fae continued to smile, "Come on, if you did that, who would keep you entertained over all these years?"
"Are you so ...

"So, are we finally on good terms now?" Thane asked his dragon, who sat in the mouth of his cave with a content smile across his scaled face.
"Had we truly been at odds, you would have gone insane as your mind fractured to separate our two consciousnesses," The dragon replied, "But yes, I suppose we are on 'good terms.' It was nice to feel the wind under my wings once again."
Thane blinked, confused by his dragon's word choice,...

Sorry for the late post and short chapter was going to write another 18+ scene but I really want to move on with the plot. So scrapped the idea and skipped to the end. I might come back eventually and flush out the chapter if people really want it though.

After cleaning up, Thane and Daphne were in no rush to head back to the school and instead found themselves quite lethargic in each other's company. Thane transformed back into his dragon form, allowing Daphne to rest agains...

"Oh, I see...that's why," Daphne replied as she turned to face Thane, "I hope this doesn't become a trend, us making love in unconventional places."
Thane snorted as he drew closer to Daphne, "You were the one who chose the bathroom."
Daphne blinked, surprised that Thane could talk, but she pushed past it, "Well, how was I supposed to know that you were going to pounce on me like some savage beast?"

With Thane's invisibility cloak, he and Daphne had no problem sneaking out of the castle and into the Forbidden Forest.
Once trees surrounded them and there wasn't a soul in sight, Thane retracted his cloak, and it settled back onto his shoulders.
Daphne stared at the silver garment in amazement, "I don't think I've ever seen such a powerful invisibility cloak."
"Well, I would hope not. After all, this is...

The following month passed Thane in a blur as his schedule filled to the brim. Though for the first time, instead of lamenting everything that found its way onto his plate, Thane enjoyed his newfound duties.
Thane's most time-consuming activity was tending to his new garden, which had gone even better than expected. By the second day, every single seed had sprouted. From that point on, Thane began to collect data on every sprout, recording the number of le...

By the time I ended my run, the sun was already rising, signaling that night was over and morning had begun.
I stopped at the bottom of my porch stairs, breathing heavily and shirtless. Despite the sweat-soaked shirt shoved in the waistband of my shorts and the rapid heartbeat pounding against my chest, I felt as if I had another six miles in me. While I could feel the strain on my muscles, I never came close to reaching failure. I hadn't even stopped once...

Thane let out a nervous sigh full of anticipation as he stared at the pallet piled with neatly organized stacks of silver and gold ingots conjured by the Room of Requirement.
Holding out his hands, Thane prepared himself by taking a deep breath before flooding his pathways with mana.
As the familiar warmth of magic infused Thane's body, he exhaled, and a thick plume of silver flames erupted from his lips.

'Do you believe this to be the best course of action? Secrets are dangerous weapons. Giving them to those who don't know how to wield them could harm rather than protect them.' Thane's beast pondered as he sat within the Room Of Requirement, nestled between the tree's roots with a severe look on his face.
'Perhaps, but this way, I can train them, prepare them for what's to come.' Thane replied just before he felt the room shift and a doorway appe...

Thane opened the bathroom door, looked up and down the hallway, and let out a sigh of relief when he saw no one, "Okay, no one's around."
Stepping out into the hallway, Thane glanced over his shoulder, "Are you sure you can walk."
"Not another word," Daphne hissed as she stumbled out of the bathroom, her steps cautious and unsteady, as if each one took tremendous effort, "If I could use my legs properly, I would kick you." ...

Daphne's thighs clamped down on Thane's head like a vice, and her entire body suddenly stiffened, but he barely noticed. Like a man possessed, Thane only cared about the sweet dew flowing from between Daphne's legs, drinking from the fountain as if his life depended on it. The sounds that squeaked past her lips were almost as intoxicating, but Daphne still managed to muffle her cries of pleasure, something Thane took as a challenge.
As Daphne's body relaxe...

Thane's entire body was engulfed in a burning fire that rose up from his stomach while his mana blared out in harmony, flaring every time he brushed against Daphne's skin, which was so soft and smooth that it reminded Thane of silk. Thane couldn't get enough of her; the smell and taste of her were driving him wild, making him want more and more.
Again, Thane squeezed Daphne's breast, the feel of her bosom overflowing in his hand, unlike anything he had fel...

The sweet sound of Daphne's gasping breath echoed off the tiled bathroom floor as she whimpered and squirmed from underneath Thane. Her chest was tight as her heart hammered against her ribcage, sending a mix of fear and excitement racing through her body that flushed with an intense heat. It took every fiber of willpower. Daphne had not to give in to the carnal desires flooding her mind, but she was fighting a losing battle.
Every time Thane's lips grazed...

Daphne's voice hit Thane like a physical blow, but instead of feeling pain, Thane had to take a steady breath as her sultry tone made his body flush with heat. As he continued staring at her, Thane realized that Daphne had also changed her appearance. Other than the lipstick, Daphne had put on eye shadow liner and blush, drawing out her natural beauty and sparkling hazel eyes. Her hair was also visibly styled. The long platinum strands curled and strained to near perfection.

Thane opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling of his bedroom. Out of all the outcomes Thane expected from talking to his beast, none of them had come close to what actually happened. The conversation had been rather...productive.
'I expected a lot more roaring and fire-spitting,' Thane thought, only half joking as he looked out the window to see the sun barely cresting above the horizon. It would be hours before the school day started in any capacity.&nb...

I heard Tiffany's feet hit the floor as she quickly walked over to the door and swung it open to find me standing there, "Oh, you're alive...nice bandages, dork."
I raised an eyebrow as I stared down at Tiffany, "Really, I got hit by a car, and that's the first thing you say to me?"
Tiffany rolled her eyes and defiantly placed her hands on her hips, "From what I heard, it was barely a love tap."

"I need your help," Thane asked as he appeared within his mind, standing in front of Thalion, who was seated on his throne.
"Most of the time, I can sympathize with you, but in this instance, I can't fathom why you're so upset," Thalion commented, "You just had your first kiss, though Solara and Elara will be pretty upset that it wasn't with their reincarnations."

Before Daphne realized what was happening, Thane's teeth sunk into her neck, breaking her skin and injecting a searing, hot heat through her entire body.
Daphne gasped at first from pain but then from shock as a deep bass note reverberated through her body. Every fiber of Daphne's body vibrated in response to the powerful melody. Scared and afraid of what was happening to her, Daphne summoned her magic only for a far softer p...
