Chapter 1
Luther smelled the female the moment she entered the bar, her sweet odor permeating the room and right away he scented something different about her, a powerful aura surrounding her.
She was tall for a human female, with a well toned physique. Her long legs were encased in tight fitting hip hugging jeans that made his mouth water and the red midriff bearing halter she wore made her light caramel skin come alive. Her hair was a light auburn brown falling to her shoulders in soft loose curls.
"So beautiful." He murmured taking in her perfect heart shaped face which boasted magnificent high cheekbones and a small adorable cleft in her chin. Her lips were thick and sensual, just begging to be kissed. Her lashes were thick and sooty with beautiful hazel green eyes peering out nervously from between.
He noticed her eyes were busily scanning the bar before stopping on him, widening in slight shock, her mouth opening in a small gasp before looking away quickly, her cheeks reddening slightly.
Luther felt his cock stiffen and lengthen in his pants immediately, his dragon waking up and taking notice as he watched the woman walk around the room. She had a friend with her who was equally attractive but he wasn’t affected by her in the least.
He lifted his drink, downing the rest of his vodka on the rocks with one final gulp then got to his feet and headed toward the beauty at the bar. It looked like tonight he was going home with this beautiful alluring enchantress.
As he walked across the room he noted people stepping out of his way, eyes frightened as they took in his massive size. He was 6’7 with wide shoulders and huge thick biceps, lean tapered waist with heavily muscular thighs, though he never lifted a weight in his life. The aura he emitted couldn’t be helped either, it was part of his being. It made lesser beings frightened, putting their flight senses on alert. His dragon was powerful and always just under the surface.
Lorna didn’t want to be here tonight. She had wanted to stay inside and study for her college entrance exams. But of course her best friend and roommate Megan just had to come to this new bar, which luckily just happened to be around the corner from their apartment.
When she stepped inside the bar her instincts came alive at once alerting her to the fact that something or someone was off here. She let her eyes roam around the room, stopping on a man sitting in the back of the bar slightly shadowed, but she got a good look at him when he sat forward and gasped at the sheer beauty of the strangers face. He was the most beautiful man she had ever seen, with long blackish red hair falling over deeply tanned skin that had a reddish cast. He looked huge, even sitting and she quickly averted her eyes. It was rude to stare no matter how good looking he was.
Lorna followed Megan up to the bar and took a seat on the hard round wooden stool next to the wall. No sooner had she sat down did she feel the hairs on the back of her neck and arms stand on end alerting her to his presence.
Lorna had always been sensitive to the energies around her. She had keen sense of smell, her hearing was 10 times better than that of a normal person and her eyesight was like that of a hawk. She had the ability to move things with her mind and create fire from nothing. Her body could also shift into some type of beast though she didn’t know what it was and had no one to ask about it either.
Lorna was told that she had been a normal child, until there was a horrible car accident and she needed a blood transfusion when she was 5. She had been in the hospital for months, after which she slowly developed these weird abilities. She’d had them for so long it was normal to her now. She couldn’t remember a time when she didn’t have them so it didn’t affect her negatively. There were times though, when she felt so alone that she yearned for someone to confide in or at least find someone like her who could help explain why she was this way.
It was a secrete she kept for more than one reason. Her parents had sent her to a clinic when she was nine because of her abilities but immediately withdrew her and went into hiding. The things she was subjected to at that clinic weren’t worth mentioning or thinking about unless she wanted nightmares.
Her parents were long gone and the clinic was still looking for her. She was now 30 and had been living here in Dallas, Texas for the past two years under a different identity and so far no one had come after her. She assumed she was safe. She wanted to go to college and make a life for herself. No one knew what she could do, not even her best friend Megan.
Lorna felt the stranger before he even spoke, already attuned to his energy. There was something different about this man, something powerful that drew her like a moth to a flame.
“May I sit beside you?” He asked in a deep raspy baritone that held a slight accent which sent shivers down her spine.
Lorna turned in her seat letting her eyes roam over this beautiful stranger. He had the body and face of a god. With him being this close she felt her heart kick up, his musky scent surrounding her sent her body up in flames with a need so fierce, so intense, her juices started flowing instantly, a deep ache settling in her clit demanding to be touched, her inner core filled, her nipples hardening, poking through her shirt as if reaching for him.
What the hell was happening to her body? She was not the type of woman to react to a man like this. Yes she enjoyed sex, but never in her thirty years on this earth did she ever crave the touch, the claiming, the wonton need from a man, so why this one man? What made him so special?
Lorna wanted him, felt as if she needed him this instant or she would die. The attraction was starting to flare out of control for her. She slid off her seat, wrapped her arms around his neck and then hopped up into his arms, wrapped her legs securely around his waist moaning low in her throat when she felt his hard ridge pressed up against her mound. She brushed her lips across his ear and murmured, “Why don’t you just take me out of here. Then you can do more than sit next to me.” She told him brazenly.
She wasn’t the type to pick up random men in bars but she needed him with a ferociousness that bordered on insanity.
“Where do you live?”
“Not too far. It’s just around the corner.” She told him, panting as she felt his cock jerk against her pussy, his tongue flicking out leaving a hot trail down her neck.
“Lorna what are you doing?” Megan asked her in a shocked tone.
Lorna looked at Megan’s flabbergasted face and stuck her tongue out at her only to have it caught in a hard kiss from the stranger, his mouth sucking tongue, nibbling lips, then pushing his tongue between her lips, entertaining his tongue with hers, his hands cupping the back of her head holding her in place as he continued to ravage her mouth.
She moaned as she ground her hips against his hard length and felt her core heating up, an orgasm rising to the surface. She held it at bay by a hair not wanting to embarrass herself for lack of control. What was he doing to her?
When they broke apart she stared up at him with awe. He was the most amazing virile man she had ever been lucky enough to meet. He oozed sex and if he could get her this close to coming with only a kiss then what could he do once he was inside her?
“Let’s go to your place, where we won’t have an audience.” He murmured silkily flicking his tongue against her earlobe making her shiver.
She glanced around the bar, not really shocked at the looks they were receiving for their PDA. This so was not the place to be making out.
“Megan I am going to head out. Sorry, please be safe.” She told her before grabbing the man’s arm and walking out of the bar.
“You go get him gurl. Woof” She heard Megan say before they left.
Lorna tried to keep her distance from the stranger as they made their way down the street but his scent was all over her, keeping her lust high on the richter scale.
“What’s your name?” she asked him, feeling silly that she hadn’t asked him before she threw herself at him like a slut.
“My names Luther and you are?” He asked as they made their way around the corner.
She gazed up at him taking in his dark good looks. He definitely looked like a Luther, something out of the dark ages. All he was missing was his armor and sword.
“My name is Lorna.” She told him stopping in front of her building. How did they make it here so fast? It felt like they had just stepped outside the bar.
*****
Luther couldn’t believe his attraction to this mortal female. He watched as she pressed the button on the elevator, her hand shaking slightly as she glanced up at him through thick lashes.
He was so impatient to get inside her he thought he would go up in flames, his temperature sky rocketing. The minute the door opened he rushed her inside lifting her up against the wall, wrapping her legs around his waist and took her lips between his moaning at the sweet vanilla taste of her lips. He deepened the kiss ripping her shirt down the middle then slid his hand up her stomach to her breast cupping the soft round orbs in his hand, his thumb twirling around her nipple in a circular motion smiling against her mouth when she shuddered in pleasure.
“Your body is so hot.” She moaned throwing her head back when he bent his head and latched onto her right breast. He needed to get inside her now or he would burst.
They heard a gasp from the elevator door but didn’t pull apart as they turned their heads slightly and took in the middle aged woman standing in the elevator opening, her hand over her heart as she looked from one to the other, a deep blush spreading across her face.
“Hello Mrs. Davis.” Lorna told her shyly trying to get out of Luther’s arms.
“Well, this is something I would expect from Megan but not you dear.” She said in a patronizing voice then turned on her heel and walked away, her head held snootily in the air.
“Ignore the bitch.” Luther told her walking out of the elevator. He could sense the jealousy coming off the woman in waves.
He followed her to a door down the hall and waited as patiently as he could while she unlocked the door, his hands itching to touch her.
Lorna turned to look at him as she pushed the door open, “Are you sure about this?” She asked nervously.
To answer her question he lifted her into his arms, his mouth devouring hers as he walked inside the apartment, kicked the door shut, locked it then carried her towards the back of the apartment stopping at a door that carried her scent the strongest, pushed the door open, walked inside then closed and locked that door as well. He walked across the room and tossed her on the bed, staring down at this beautiful creature. It had been ages since he was this turned on.
Taking a deep breath through his nose he breathed in her scent and caught the smell of dragon, it was faint but there. How was that possible? Dragons couldn’t mate with humans. Their seed was too strong for human women and there wasn’t any female dragons left alive. They were murdered centuries ago by their enemies.
They were a dying race without women to bear them a future.
Luther started to strip out of his clothes, watching as Lorna did the same, never taking her eyes off of him and that’s when he noticed the slight glow in her eyes, the pupils changing slightly to vertical slits making him pause again.
*****
Lorna watched Luther as he removed his clothes. His muscles rippled and flexed with each movement making her mouth water for a taste of him. He was beautiful, magnificent. She wanted to sink her teeth into him and gobble him up. She felt her body temperature raise a notch when he removed his pants. She wanted him so badly she could scream. Something about him called out to her on baser level. He was made for her and her him.
She watched him pause again, frowning, wondering what was the matter with him. He watched her with an intense stare that was turning into a frown the longer he looked at her.
“Luther what is it?” She asked getting to her knees and crawling across the bed reaching her hand out to him.
Luther took a step toward her, stopping next to the bed, took her hand and yanked her off the bed and into his arms, then bent his head, placing his nose in the crook of her neck and shoulder taking a deep breath and then shuddering.
“Where are you from Lorna? Who are your parents?” He asked her roughly.
She didn’t understand what was so important about her family. Wait, was he a spy sent from the clinic. A sense of horror began to wash over her. Was he fishing for information on her? She felt sick to her stomach. Was she being set up again? It wouldn’t be the first time she was set up by someone in the company as a way to get close to her.
Feeling a slow rage creep over her replacing the lust from earlier, she pulled away from him looking up at him with loathing, then flicked her hand in his direction and sent him flying across the room crashing into the wall.
Lorna could feel her skin hardening, turning deep red, deep grooves covering her skin that were darker around the edges popping up all over her body that looked like small scales. Her face became longer, teeth sharpening to razor like points, her hands turning into long talon like claws. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the magic deep within her and bought forth two powerful fireballs in the palm of her hands as she kept him locked in place against the wall with the force of her will.
“Who are you?” she asked him suspiciously, using more force than was really necessary and slammed him against the wall again to let him know she meant business.
The fireballs in her palms were growing bigger and hotter in her hand, the color changing from reddish gold to bluish green. She was going to incinerate his ass if he didn’t talk and soon.
Luther looked at her smugly, a small smile forming over his face as he watched her change, then a look of complete longing washed over his features. She could also smell his arousal more in this form and it was turning her on but she had to ignore this. He was possibly an enemy and if he wasn’t he would have to die anyway for finding out about her. No one could know. It wasn’t safe.
“I’ll ask again, who are you? Are you from the company? Have they sent you here to spy on me?” she yelled at him, but when he didn’t answer she bought him away from the wall so as not to set the apartment on fire and sent both fire balls careening at him, watching as he was engulfed in flames.
Lorna felt a bit sad at having to kill him. She had really like and wanted him. She rushed over to the dresser, threw on her robe then ran from the room to the kitchen where she grabbed the trash bin, broom and dustpan then headed back into her room so she could clean up the ash.
This wasn’t the first time she had to kill someone. Normal humans didn’t understand and tried to hurt her more than once in the past because of their fear. It was hard to maintain a relationship with anyone for long periods of time. Her roommate was the longest she had been with a normal human.
When she walked back into the room she looked at the spot on the floor where the ash should have been but there was nothing there, only the shiny hardwood floor.
“What the hell!” She screeched walking over to the spot, bent down and touched the floor, finding it was cool to the touch, she then stood quickly, letting her eyes roam around the room, pausing when she saw him or it, whatever it was standing in the back corner of her room peering at her. It was huge, covered with deep dark red scales more defined than her own, sharp black claws, a snout bearing huge sharp teeth, wings fanned slightly out behind it.
Lorna noticed his eyes giving off an amber glow with sharp vertical shaped pupils and let out a squeak of fright before turning to bolt from the room but stopped when she found him standing before her, stalking her as she took a step back. She tried to use her telekinesis to send him flying but he didn’t as much as budge. She sent out wave after wave of flames trying to set him afire or at least buy her some time to get away but found her abilities had the same affect, nothing.
Why wasn’t this working? What was happening here? Her abilities had no affect on this creature. This was unprecedented. She let her body morph back to her regular human form, and then closed her eyes in defeat. She bent to the floor, lowering her head in submission.
“Just kill me and get it over with.” She muttered, frightened beyond belief. This creature’s aura was overpowering her, making her shake with trepidation.
Lorna felt warm hands on her shoulders and another on her chin lifting her face up towards him and gasped when she saw it was Luther who stood before her in all his naked glory.
“How, how is this possible?” she asked him in a shocked whisper.
He was like her, a beast of some sort. Finally she had met someone who was like her, someone who could tell her what she was.
“Luther. Luther.” She cried getting quickly to her feet, tears streaming down her face as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders holding him tightly, her body shaking as her adrenaline waned.
“Shhh baby. It’s ok, don’t cry. I didn’t mean to frighten you, nor did I mean to upset you. I could smell the dragon in you. That’s why I asked about your parents and where you were from. I saw you getting upset and waited to see what would happen.”
“Dragon.” she uttered low in her throat. Is that what she was or part of? She looked into his amber eyes finding nothing but truth and trust there.
He was someone she could trust and found herself telling him about her past, about the clinic and the people who had been after her ever since she was a child.
“I’ll take care of you now. You don’t have to worry about anything anymore. I and our kind will protect you. You don’t know how special you are.” He told her and explained a little about the dragon species, though not going into too much detail.
She did feel special. For the first time in her life she felt at peace knowing what she was finally. She lifted her head from his chest and pressed her lips against his in a tender kiss.
*****
Luther awoke the next morning with a start, his senses coming on full alert. He turned his head towards the door and spotted Lorna’s friend Megan standing in the doorway, a small cold smile on her face before turning and walking away.
He didn’t trust that woman. There was something about her, some threat that made him want to burn her to a crisp. Her eyes were like blue ice chips as she looked at the two of them.
Luther wandered what her problem was. She wasn’t like that last night. In fact she had cheered them on, so what could have changed between then and now.
“Luther what is it?” he heard Lorna ask in a sleep filled voice, then moaned when her hand slid down his chest and gripped his cock making him forget about her friend for the moment as his cock thickened in readiness.
He bent his head giving her a deep kiss, tracing her lips with his tongue before lifting his head to stare down at her and paused as her scent wrapped around him, and that’s when he noticed the slight change, though very subtle but knew what it signified.
“Lorna, you’re pregnant.” He told her in awe. He didn’t know this could happen. She was still mortal, the dragon side of her more a shadow than the real thing.
Maybe that was enough to make her susceptible to his seed. Whatever the case was she was now his and he would do any and all to protect her and his young.
“What do you mean I’m pregnant? That’s not possible, I can’t get pregnant. I’m sterile.” She told him, shaking her head in denial.
What made her think she was sterile? He could sense that she was healthy. No matter, he had to leave, needed to let the others know about her but didn’t want to leave her behind. She wasn’t his mate, he knew that. It was the dragon in her that drew him to her.
Dragons were sexual creatures and craved it more than once a day, especially with their own kind and she was close enough. The others would want to mate her as well but he wouldn’t let them near her until his child was born.
The fact that she could be impregnated by one of his kind was huge news and needed to be shared, but also kept a closely guarded secret less their enemies find out and try to destroy her.
“I need to leave and I want you to come with me. I need to keep you safe now that you carry my young.” He told her, running his hand over her smooth flat stomach.
*****
Lorna was shocked at what he had told her. She couldn’t be pregnant. She had slept with many men and never once did she fall pregnant. She’d just assumed she was infertile. But now this dragon male was telling her she is carrying his child. She didn’t know what to make of that.
“Impossible.” She told him shaking her head and she couldn’t just leave, she had a life here. “I can’t go with you. I have work latter today. Why don’t you do what you have to do then come back?” she told him still dazed at the knowledge that she was carrying his child. What would that mean for her and what would it be? Human, dragon or a blend of both?
“I can’t leave you here. You don’t need to work. I can take care of you and our child. Both of you will be protected from the people that are after you. Think about the child’s wellbeing.” He told her, his voice coming out more a growl than actual words.
Lorna pushed against his chest trying to sit up but he refused to release her. She didn’t need anyone to take care of her or her baby, although the thought of the company finding out about this was to terrible to contemplate. What would they do to her baby if they got their dirty hands on her or him?
“Why don’t you go do what you have to and I will pack my clothes. I promise I won’t leave the apartment and will be waiting for you when you get back here.” She told him, finally getting up from the bed but she didn’t get far before she felt his strong arms encompassing her around her waist. A shot of pure lust rushed through her veins making her instantly wet and needy.
“I’ll do that but first why don’t we take care of this first.” He told her, running his hand down her stomach to her neither regions, then sliding his hand between her slick folds pushing a finger inside her making her gasp in pleasure.
“Hmm yea, I think I’d like that a lot.” She told him pumping her hips back and forth fucking his fingers.
He took her back to the bed, laying her down gently before lying atop her, lifting her legs and wrapped them around his waist then lined his cock up with her entrance and eased inside her making her gasp at the fullness. She arched her hips up off the bed meeting him push for push, pleasure engulfing her with each stroke. God it was so good, her pleasure reaching higher and higher peaks with each thrust of his hips.
She cried out when he bent his head to her breast latching on to her nipple, sucking it between his teeth making her moan in bliss as pleasure shot from her breast down to her clit then spanning out encompassing her entire body in a mini orgasm.
Lorna tried to hold on to the sensations he wrought inside her but found herself plunging over the edge. Throwing her head back she cried out as her orgasm slipped through, an explosion of pleasure so intense she was left a puddle of pleasurable ooze on the bed. Luther followed right behind her, his hot seed jetting inside her coating her womb sending another small orgasm through her.
They lay there for awhile longer cuddling with each other until Luther got reluctantly to his feet, dressed quickly then came back to the bed. He bent down and kissed her on the forehead before standing back up adjusting his shirt.
“Remember what I said. Don’t leave the apartment. I should be back by night fall. Have everything packed and ready to go by then.” He told her, running his fingers through her hair one last time before leaving the room.
Lorna placed a hand over her stomach, feeling nervous all of a sudden. She was pregnant and by a dragon no less. What did this mean for her, how was it even possible? She had no idea and didn’t want to dwell on it to deeply. He told her he would take care of her and the baby and that was all she cared about.
Lorna got out of bed, grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt then headed to the bathroom taking a long hot shower, working out the kinks in her lower back and thighs. Her muscles were so sore, but she wasn’t going to complain one bit. Once she finished her shower she quickly got dressed then walked back into her room heading to the closet where she pulled out her cases and travel bag then started packing up her belongings.
“Are you planning on going somewhere?”
Lorna jumped in shock, her heart pounding in her chest as she stood, turning quickly and saw Megan standing in the doorway with a frown on her face.
“Actually I was going to come and talk to you after I was all packed. I’m leaving with Luther when he comes back later. You don’t have to worry about the rent. I am going to pay my half to the landlord upfront so you will only have pay your half until the lease is up.” She explained quickly. She knew this was all happening so fast. Megan would probably think she was crazy.
“You can’t be serious. You don’t even know this man. You have to stay here with me. What am I suppose to do?” she yelled sounding panicked.
“Look Megan, I know this is crazy ok but I need him right now. I will keep in touch with you I promise. Something happened last night, something special and I really need to go. You won’t have to worry about money so what’s the real problem here?” She was acting weird and looked a little high strung.
Megan stood there a moment looking at her nervously, her tongue darting out licking her top lip before she bit it with her teeth. “Nothing, it’s just that I am worried about you. You meet a man at a bar, bring him here instead of a hotel then decide to leave with him the next day. Doesn’t that strike you as strange? What would you do if it were me in your shoes?”
Lorna knew exactly what she would think. She would think she’d lost her ever loving mind. The difference between them was paramount though. If she were part dragon and pregnant then this wouldn’t be an issue but such was her life.
“I understand where you’re coming from believe me when I tell you that. But we are as different as night and day. Megan I love you and I am so happy that we have been friends these past couple years but I really need to leave ok. Let me finish getting my things together then I will join you in the kitchen and we can make lunch and hang out before I leave tonight.” She told her turning back to her packing and felt something painful prick her neck and her vision instantly grew blurry, black spots dancing in front of her eyes then nothing.
Chapter 2
Luther couldn’t believe his luck at finding a female who was part dragon with abilities to boot. She was perfect. He couldn’t wait to get back to her apartment. He hoped she had everything packed and ready to go because they were leaving as soon as he got there.
“Man snap the heck out of it! When are we going to get there?” Nat said from the back seat, rolling his eyes in annoyance.
“The next block over.” He told him narrowing his eyes in agitation as he glared at Nat in the rearview mirror.
The moment he made it to his house he’d contacted a few dragons alerting them to the news that he had impregnated a woman who had a touch of dragon inside and they had immediately come to his place, taking hours for some to get there.
He had bought a photo of her that he had seen on the refrigerator and strands of her hair letting them get a whiff of her scent so they would have no doubt of his truth. So now here he was with nine others, ranging in different dragon species.
He was a red dragon, the others were Black, Blue, green, white, brass, bronze, copper, gold, silver and the leaders of their respective kind.
It had been centuries since a dragon child had been born. All their females had been wiped out leaving behind only males. They had tried over the centuries to impregnate humans as well as females of different species but to no avail, now out of the blue they had found the one woman who could carry their seed. She would be protected and coveted above all else.
Luther pulled up outside of her apartment, taking a deep breath as he placed the car in park. He got out of his car, locked the doors behind him and instantly he felt something was off here, a wrongness that he couldn’t put his finger on. He left the parking lot and rushed inside the building, the others following close behind him. Once inside he forwent the elevator and took the stairs using his speed and was on her floor in no time coming to a stop outside the apartment, already he could pick up on the scent of blood and ash.
He stepped back, raised his foot and kicked the door in using more force than was necessary, sending it flying across the kitchen and into the front room landing on the couch. He rushed inside, stopping when he saw the condition of the apartment. There was a bloody hand print on the kitchen wall making him pause before walking over to the print and taking a whiff. It was her blood. No, this couldn’t be happening again. He ran to the bedroom throwing open the door then sunk to his knees in despair, throwing his head back he roared in rage, his body starting to shift as fury singed through his blood.
The room was in total chaos with blood on the bed, counter and dresser. Ash all over the room meaning she had put up one hell of a fight. He heard the others behind him gasping in anger and shock as they took in room.
Lorna didn’t deserve this. God, if only he had bought her back with him when he left this morning instead of leaving her. He could smell her essence as well as that of the tiny life she carried. His child dying before it ever had a chance. He felt a hand clasp him on his shoulder halting his transformation and growled low in his throat as he whipped his head around glaring up at Blake, a white dragon whose face was twisted in pain as he squeezed his shoulder in comfort.
“I know the pain you feel Luther, but there is nothing we can do now.” He told him sadly.
Blake did know the pain he felt. His wife Ulia was murdered along with his young daughter and son when he was called away to war. If anyone knew how he felt Blake did.
Luther got himself under control, standing and taking a deep breath to calm himself. He still wanted to kill something. Their one shot at life was now gone. He turned walking out of the room heading towards the kitchen when his ears picked up on a thin whisper of sound, his eyes widening in shock as the blade came from nowhere then nothing.
*****
Megan had always suspected there was something not quite right about Lorna. They had been friends for a little over two years and she had noticed things about her that weren’t quite normal.
When she was approached by men a few weeks ago who asked her to keep an eye on Lorna and to contact them if anything strange happened she had quickly agreed, wanting to know for herself if her suspicions were correct. She had placed a camera in Lorna room waiting to catch her doing something out of the ordinary
Megan hadn’t seen anything odd and was just coming to realize her foolishness when she checked the camera early this morning and watched as her friend turned into a demon. She nearly had a heart attack when she saw her throw Luther across the room then set him on fire. But what really freaked her out was when Luther turned into an even bigger scarier demon. She couldn’t believe Lorna was a demon and even more so the man she had bought home with her was one also.
Megan had immediately contacted the men and emailed them the video footage. They then sent around a needle filled with liquid inside and told her when she had the chance to stick her in the neck with it and they would take care of the rest. She had bided her time and almost lost it when Lorna spoke of leaving with her demon lover. The moment Lorna had turned her back to her she stuck her in the neck with the needle pushing the plunger down. Boom the bitch went down. She had contacted the men then left the apartment making sure she stayed away long enough for the men to do what they needed to before coming back.
She thought Lorna was nice and even liked her but now she knew that is was a trick. Lorna had used a spell or something to make her like her and to be her friend or else she would have never hung out with her. They were nothing alike, had nothing remotely in common. She had let Lorna move into her apartment a day after meeting her. It must have been then that Lorna placed her under a spell so that she could hide amongst humans.
Megan walked down the hall stopping in front of her apartment, shocked when she saw the door was missing. She had just come back from the store. On her way home she realized she needed to get some energy crystals and incense to purify her apartment, ready to clean house and purge it of its evil aura. The demon was gone and out of her life or so she had thought but now she heard voices coming from the back of the apartment.
Megan walked quietly over to the utensil drawer in the kitchen, avoiding the creak on the floor that was sure to alert them to her presence and pulled out a huge meat cleaver that she had ordered from Japan. It was so sharp it could cut silk. She used it when she made roast beef and needed to shave the meat for deli sandwiches. She pulled it out of the drawer and took a position on the side of the wall, raised the knife like she was holding a baseball bat and waited.
The moment she saw the tips of his feet she swung the knife with all her might gasping in shock when the blade cut through the skin, meat, tendons and the bones of his neck. Then gasped in horror as his head hit the ground rolling a couple feet away, the eyes still opened in shock, her knife was imbedded deeply in the wall. She tried to pull it out but it wouldn’t budge so much as an inch. She heard a roar of anger and looked up shocked when she saw 9 of the most beautiful men she’d ever seen crowding her hallway. Even with their faces in fierce scowls, twisted in rage they were beautiful.
Megan felt her heart speed up as fear set in, her mouth drying out as their eyes started to glow, pupils changing to vertical slits like snakes or lizards and their bodies beginning to morph slightly, the skin becoming hard and grooved. Fear and adrenaline rushed through her system and she turned tail running towards the front door but didn’t get even two steps before a white haired man stood before her, grasping her tightly around the neck and lifted her off the ground, his hands so cold they burned her skin.
“Why did you kill Luther?” He asked her, cold air condensation flew from his mouth making her shiver.
“H.e.e was..a..de..dem.on.” she gasped out painfully, her teeth chattering from the biting cold emanating from him.
Megan began to panic even more when she felt something akin to death on her left and turned her head slightly and saw a man with black hair and eyes, his face taking on a skeletal look as he glared at her. He raised his hand trailing a finger down her jaw leaving a burning tingling sensation. She looked into his eyes and felt as though she was being sucked into a bottomless pit of darkness and death and screamed in fear. He was drawing away her life force. She could feel it seeping out of her with every breath.
“What happened to Lorna?” the man with white hair asked her, shaking her roughly when she wouldn’t stop screaming.
She looked at him panicked, “I turned her in. She was a demon. They said they would take care of it.” She told them weakly.
“Who, who said they would take care of it?” He asked, his breath coming out in frosty air.
“I don’t know. They approached me. I sent them a copy of the video I recorded of Luther and Lorna last night. They both turned into monsters.” She cried. “You’re all monsters, you’re evil.”
“Where did they take her?” Another man asked her who had green eyes and hair, bluish color smoke coming from his mouth.
When she breathed in the smoke she coughed, wheezing, her chest felt as though it was closing up. She couldn’t breathe. “I to..l.d you. I.. I. don..t kn.o..w. The.y ca..me to m.e.e..e.:” she coughed again, wheezing for breath her lungs on fire.
A man with blue hair came forward and placed his hand on her forehead, closing his eyes and she felt like someone was moving around in her head, then all of a sudden memories of the past few weeks flashed through her mind before abruptly stopping.
“She’s telling the truth.” He told them releasing her head and wiping his hand on his pants like she had a plague or something.
“Let her go Blake. We’re done here.” The black haired man told him.
Blake released her all too quickly giving her no time to get her bearing and she crumpled to the floor. When she looked up she found the room was empty.
“Thank you god. I’m safe.” She mumbled rubbing her chest, still gasping for breath, her neck was on fire making it hard to move. She looked stiffly around the room and saw Luther’s body and head were gone as well.
She slowly made her way into the living room, still wheezing, her breath coming out in painful pants. She stood in front of the window looking out into the night and screamed when she saw a huge black beast peer into her living room with blazing yellow eyes.
Megan opened her mouth to scream again but no sound came out, her throat seizing up. She found herself engulfed in a painful wet substance. Looking down at her arms she saw the skin melting off her body, horrified when her hands fell in clumps to the floor just before she knew nothing.

Lorna came awake slowly, the smell of strong antiseptic stinging her nose. She opened her eyes wide, turning her head looking around the room realizing immediately where she was, a feeling of dread and hopelessness encompassing her.
“Oh, god. No.”
Lorna was lying in a hospital bed, an I.V. drip in her arm. She set up slowly, ripped the I.V. out of her arm then climbed out of the bed jerkily. She walked over to the door and turned the knob feeling frustrated when nothing happened. She yanked harder and still the door didn’t open. She turned and leaned back against the door trying not to cry. She glanced around the room taking in the bed, the I.V drip and nothing else. She saw a window in the back corner and ran over to it yanking on the lever. It wouldn’t budge. She was well and truly tapped.
“No.” she screamed in frustration, banging her fist against the window trying to shatter it, it didn’t as much as crack.
She heard the door lock click followed by the sound of the door opening and turned, watching as two men in white coats entered the room. She recognized them instantly.
“Lorna, I see you’re awake.” Dr. Derrick’s said coming into the room.
She watched Dr. Derrick’s and Dr. Jenkins come inside, both looking at her happily like they finally had their prize and she supposed they did. They had been after her for years.
“Lorna, we are so happy you could join us.” Dr. Jenkins said coming to stand in front of her, his hand reaching out towards her belly making her jerk back in disgust and that’s when she noticed her belly for the first time. She looked to be about 5 or 6 months along.
“How long have I been here?” she asked, looking to them for the answers she was sure they had.
“We have had you here for a little over 3 weeks in a medically induced coma while we’ve run test on you.” Dr. Derrick’s told her with an empty smile making her feel cold inside.
Over three weeks of her life had been stolen by these sick fucks and her baby, what had they done to it? She placed her hands on her stomach rubbing the gentle swell and felt her baby kick against her hand making her heart skip a beat.
“What have you done to me and my baby? Why am I so big?”
Dr. Jenkins looked at his chart then back at her. “Well it appears that the fetus you carry isn’t human at all. We have taken amniotic fluid and ran test on it. You are carrying a full blooded dragon. It also appears as though your daughter has absorbed everything that was special about you into her being leaving you nothing but a frail human.” He told her callously.
“What are you talking about? How can you even know about dragons?”
“Because we are the reason you were injected with the dragon’s bone marrow and went through gene therapy for months as a child. We have been monitoring you for far longer than you ever thought. There was something about your D.N.A., something unique that allowed you to bond with the dragon on a cellular level.” Doctor Jenkins told her off handily.
“All our other test subjects died horrible painful deaths.” Dr. Derricks explained calmly like it was the most natural thing in the world to talk about killing people in the name of scientific research.
“But you dear Lorna survived and thrived. But now, well now you’re of no more use to us. We knew of course a dragon male would scent you sooner or later, but we never knew that you would be able to be impregnated by one. That was an added bonus” Dr. Jenkins told her rubbing his chin as he stared at her belly possessively.
“There are consequences however. The moment you became pregnant you signed your own death warrant. That thing you carry will suck away your life force until you’re nothing but an empty shell.” Dr. Derricks told her with a sneer.
“Luther will find me. He will come for his child.” She warned them. She knew how protective he was. Even if she died her baby would be saved. That’s all she really cared about.
“Well you see that’s not true. Your roommate killed Luther, chopped his head right off with a meat cleaver. Would you like to see the video footage? We found it quite amusing. He didn’t even see it coming.” Dr. Jenkins said with a chuckle.
No, Luther was dead, oh dear god, now what would she do. She couldn’t let them have her baby. She tried to transform but couldn’t. She tried to make a fire ball, not even a puff of smoke. She sunk to the floor in despair, tears falling from her eyes soaking her face and gown. She was alone now with no one to save her child.
“There is no need for you to be sad. You should be happy. You carry something special in your womb, the last female dragon. All the others were killed centuries ago. What makes this girl so special is the fact that she is a breeder.” Dr. Derricks said pulling a piece of paper from his file and handing it to her.
