“Just deliver it to this address.” Kelly eagerly showed one of Scarlett’s men Hestia’s address.
I still felt a little boneless, but I knew I’d have to rouse myself soon to go meet with the Highaen family.
They had told Jadelyn they’d be ready at ten, which apparently meant ‘be there at ten’.
“Uh… what is it?” The guard in a black suit looked at the mason jars filled with… well… dragon semen.
“Precious alchemical ingredients.” Kelly answere...

“That wasn’t so bad.” Scarlett said as we ended the call with their fathers. She tilted the tablet down, putting the camera against the table for good measure.
“I think they took it quite well.” Jadelyn agreed.
Kelly burst out laughing. “Pretty sure they are going to cling to your husband more than you.”
“They were… eager to meet you again.” Morgana’s lips twitched with mirth. “And they will push harder for grandchildren.”
I leaned back into t...

AN - Devin is changed to Helena, cause that's what I put in book 2 before I derped. Sorry for the confusion.
“What do you think he meant by ‘take his strength’? I don’t feel any different.” I stared down at my hands, like somehow some magic would all of a sudden show.
Morgana stood next to me, hesitating before she stated, “I think… I think he wanted you to eat him.” She looked at the massive corpse before me.
I froze, turning my gaze from my hands...

Helena threw back her head, laughing. “Clear out.” She told her troops.
Tyrande smashed a blast of icy magic into the nephilim, struggling in her grip.
Ice plastered itself to Helena, doing no damage. She glared down at her captive before a swift blow to the head stunned her.
Tyrande looked like a grumpy kitten hanging from Helena’s hand after that.
The Silver Slave raged, smashing buildings and sending freezing fog down the street.
I wanted to chase after ...

I walked into the magic range; the girls following in after me.
The lady at the counter recognized us this time, and we didn’t have any trouble being guided to the proper room once she saw Jadelyn.
“Hey, you made it this time.” Yev turned away from the blasting chamber before she cast her spell.
I waved awkwardly. Having gotten over some of my own issues, I was more comfortable coming into the magic range today. “Sorry we weren’t able to locate them again.”

“Fuck. We are chasing our tails.” Scarlett slapped the steering wheel as we came up empty again.
Now that they knew I could track the dragon, he was being moved constantly. They were either keeping him in a car and driving around the city non-stop, or they were only staying in one place for fifteen minutes at a time.
Every time I tried to track him by triangulating my senses again, he was gone by the time we got there. And that was when we were lucky. Sometimes my second attem...

I’d seen Kelly’s wolf at the hangar before she was alpha, but this was different. Seeing her draw on her pack and transform was something magical to watch with my dragon eyes.
Kelly swelled from a cute, petite cheerleader into a ten foot tall werewolf. I ignored the oncoming cherubs and angels, just amazed at how gorgeous and ferocious she was.
And her eyes had a soft orange glow as she drew on the web of power of her pack, which magically connected her all the way back to Phi...

It was the next day, and I was feeling much better. Knowing what was bothering me took an enormous weight off of me, and I felt more in control of myself.
While I loaded up dishes from breakfast, I pitched my idea for the day. “I’d like to drive around the city and see if I can’t use this instinct to find the other dragon.”
“What do you need?” Jadelyn was quick to ask.
“A car. Actually, I could use someone to drive me around that knows the area. I might get dis...

Two days had passed since the magic range. And if I was honest, I was avoiding Yev and Tyrande.
When we went to the magic range, because their schedule had them there, I opted for my own room and even spent some time at the coffee shop across the street.
Yev had seemed fine after we’d wrestled, but my dragon was feeling on edge. I wasn’t sure if I needed to stretch my wings or if all this waiting had sent the beast into a spiral. But the last thing I wanted was to cause anothe...

“You help Kelly with whatever was bothering her?” Morgana asked as soon as we were back at Jadelyn’s place, and we had a moment alone.
“That obvious?” I pulled her aside into one of the unused bedrooms. I sat down in one of the overstuffed chairs.
Morgana made herself at home, draping herself over me. “She was fretting during the confrontation, unsure what to do. You’ve pulled her out of her pack structure.”
“Exactly.” I pulled my lovely blue vampire tigh...

I glanced around between the women, not quite sure what to do.
Technically, I had magic, but besides the innate forms of my dragon breath, shifting and flight, I hadn’t used any real magic.
Scarlett saw my indecision and came to my aid. “He was a lost one until recently. He’s never used his magic this way.” She reminded them of my recent lost one status.
“What?” Tyrande shouted. “That’s a crime! We need to get him to use his first spell then today.”

I was the last to wake up the next morning. I reached over, finding cold sheets next to me.
Apparently, Jadelyn had been right; I had needed the sleep.
Rolling out of bed, I got dressed. As I was rustling around, getting my clothes on, Jadelyn bumped the door open with her hip, holding a breakfast tray.
“Good. I was wondering when you were going to wake up.” She smiled brightly at me. “Eat in here or out in the kitchen?”
“I’d like to join all of you for bre...

As we walked up to Jadelyn’s front door, Kelly let go of my arm, but she still walked with a bit of a bounce. I wasn’t sure if it was the good news on her pack’s fertility, our moment, or a little bit of both.
“Zach, welcome back.” Jadelyn greeted me as soon as I turned the corner into the kitchen area.
Tyrande and Yev were there along with Morgana, Scarlett and Jadelyn.
All of them except Jadelyn were lounging in the area just off the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Jad...

I pulled up to North Root Healthcare and darted inside, finding suite 202.
As I opened the door, I found Kelly grumpily sitting in a chair. She looked pissed, arms crossed, her legs tight together and a cute little frown on her face.
“Kelly?” an attendant asked from the other side of the room before I could get her attention.
When she got up to follow the attendant, I strode quickly across the room and caught the door, following behind her.
She looked over her shou...

My wings rippled in the air as I continued to soar above the clouds, ducking into them anytime a plane came into sight. The last thing I needed was to be spotted and have a thousand pictures circling the internet.
Morgana rode on my back as I headed for Lucerne, so we could take the train into Sentarshaden. I only got lost once and had to land to use our phones to get us back on track. GPS doesn’t work so well miles up in the sky.
“Damn templars did work on you.” Morgana sai...

Feeling a pleasant buzz from Morgana’s kiss, I let her lead me over to the edge of the bed. She sat me down on the bed and put one leg on either side of me, climbing up and straddling me.
She was beautiful, sexy, and dangerous. Morgana’s blue skin caught the faint moonlight coming through the motel’s barely curtained window. So did her every curve, accented with leather pants and corset, even if that jacket hid some of her frame. Her silver hair was free of any bindings as it spil...

The sound of propellers beating the air below me made it clear what had caused Morgana to curse.
“Zach, we have two helicopters in bound. If you can get up to the clouds, we can ditch them.”
I grumbled back a response, continuing to beat my wings as hard as I could. I thought I was doing pretty damn well for a guy who had never tried to fly before. Thankfully, my beast was helping me pull through the bundle of instincts was really paying off its rent right now. But the wings w...

Morgana didn’t look back, trusting I’d take care of the approaching goons.
She started pulling items out of her cleavage and laying them at the base of the tree. I smiled to myself, now understanding how she managed to store so much in there.
It was strangely hard to focus on her when she was next to the tree. My eyes, even though I knew she was there, kept losing focus and sliding off of her.
As she was placing the items, a swaying hymn rose up out of her throat. She wa...

Sitting in the crate, we rumbled through the templar’s security and moved deeper into the campus. I had time to let my thoughts wander. Naturally, I started wondering what was happening back in Sentarshaden.
I hoped Kelly would get the answers she needed to help the pack with their fertility issues. Even though she pretended that it didn’t bother her, I knew that by making her an alpha, I’d given her an extra burden. Wolves were pack animals. They were all still in college, but ma...

“What do you mean, you don’t have a grenade launcher? That’s basic equipment. I thought you were professionals.” Morgana stared at the table, which now had an assortment of handguns and a few semi-automatic rifles.
“We operate a guard service, not a fucking military armory.” Scarlett was getting angry at Morgana’s assessment of her weapons. These girls and their guns.
Morgana grudgingly decided on the two largest rifles and a few loaded magazines. “This will just h...

Morgana pulled back her frock for H to work at the wound better. “It started back in the seventeenth century, when my clan and others, including her, were pushed out of the alps.” She frowned as H cleaned the wound.

The next day, I was wide awake early and prying myself out of Jadelyn and Scarlett’s limbs. Both of them were hardcore snugglers, so I found myself completely smothered whenever I’d wake up in the morning.
Particularly Scarlett, who wrapped her tails around my chest. They needed to be taken off delicately, though the fluffy limbs often refused to part with my chest.
Slipping out of their embrace, I threw on a pair of pants and padded my way out to the kitchen.

As we walked through the streets, the festival area was alive, with gold and green everywhere. I assumed that must be the colors of the high elf family.
“Which way is your home?” I asked Jadelyn.
“Straight through. It’s maybe a few streets over, towards the parade.” She pointed off into the distance, but her finger meandered around in just the general direction. Jadelyn was doing her best to keep her head down as well.
I heard a scoff and turned to Scarlett, who sp...

As soon as we’d all been seated, a light knock sounded on the door to our little room.
Kelly looked over at Scarlett, who nodded. Getting up, Kelly opened the door, an eager elf standing on the other side. Kelly stared him down. “Can I help you?”

“There’s only a half an hour left on the flight; if you need a moment to get cleaned up, please do so.” The pilot announced over the intercom.
I guessed we weren’t very quiet.
Jadelyn was flush in the face and breathing heavily, a broad grin stretching across her face. “Hope I didn’t wear you out.”
“Never.” I threatened to roll back on top of her, but she patted me on the chest. “We are about to land, and we can’t take up much time on the tarmac without...

It was the last thing standing between me and flying off to Switzerland with Jadelyn and Scarlett.

Hey Team,
That’s the end of Mana 5. Hope you liked it and are ready for the final book here in a few months.
I’m churning out Dragon 3, and it’s off to a nice start. I stumbled a little and redid some of the early chapters. This one needs to be just right. But now I am on chapter 9 for the story, feeling good where it’s headed. My alpha reader is on… checks notes… chapter 2. So going to have to give them a big prod to catch up.
Things are going well, though I’m...

Ming kissed the side of my cheek. “We should probably head off to the celebratory dinner.”
“Can we bring in the rest of my family?” I asked, knowing she’d say yes.
“Of course. I’ll have a guard go get them.” Ming waved at one of the armored men standing around the edge of the courtyard. He moved towards her immediately. “Go to the Su Family and collect the rest of Isaac’s family.”
