  DRACO 1

  Striding into the bar I see Wulf, Bjarni and Cassius sitting at one of the tables. One of the new prospects is cleaning glasses behind the bar. The men are finally starting to calm down and relax since the healing that the women are performing on some of the Elemental’s has been going well. One thing I must say for the women here at the compound is that they aren’t weak, they stand up to their men and don’t take any nonsense. Nova was the most affected but she is now fine and back to her normal self and their son seems to be getting stronger every day. Things finally seem to be getting into a routine.

  “Draco” Cassius calls as I approach, “any news?” we have picked up a trail on Vercin, I have Celmund following through to make sure that this one isn’t a trap. A while back we were nearly caught by the Keres and a rogue FBI agent, if it wasn’t for the women seeing that it was a trap we might all have been killed. The thought of that still angers me, but that isn’t anything new as I find myself once again fighting the bouts of fury that wash over me. Throughout my eight hundred and twenty seven years I have had stages where I have struggled in trying to fight the fury within myself. I’m in one of the stages where any small thing triggers my temper.

  Tor in our Cape Town chapter has been struggling with the Keres, they have heard that we are able to revert them back to Elemental’s and even though I’m sure that is what they would primarily want they are attacking them at every opportunity to try and weaken them and find out how it is being done.

  We decided from the beginning on not telling anyone, not even the other Elemental’s that the women are the ones that are able to heal us. It’s already dangerous for them being exposed to all the Elemental’s furious energy; we did not want them to also have to worry about anything else. I pull out a chair and straddle it as I look at Cassius. “Celmund has confirmed that it’s Vercin, it doesn’t look like a trap this time but we are going to be sure before moving in.”

  “Are we going to ask the women to look into it?” Bjarni asks as he sits back in his chair.

  “Once we are sure from our side then we will ask them to confirm that everything is safe” I say and look at Wulf to see him nod in confirmation. Wulf is my VP and my right hand man in the club, but above all I trust him completely and unconditionally. Wulf and I have been together the longest and then the others joined us, we have all become a family. If anything happens to one of us it happens to all of us.

  After the women started to join us I was happy for my brothers as they were finally finding peace, something that I have lost long ago. I know that my woman is out there, I have looked high and low in the areas that she has been said to have been seen but till now I haven’t found her. I have waited centuries for her, to be honest had given up on ever finding my mate believing that I had somehow missed her. I have held on to my sanity sometimes by the skin of my teeth, knowing that if I have to turn it will be a catastrophe. My powers have grown to such an extent that I now don’t have to do much but think about it.

  I know that the men are worried, that they have been relentlessly trying to find my woman. My woman! The thought of her has me tensing, the photo that we found awhile back in a warehouse that we breached was blurry, I could see that she’s a red head something that didn’t go unnoticed by the men either. I have always had a perchance for red heads which has my men teasing me mercilessly about a fiery red head and what hell she will wreck in my life.

  If she is anything like the other women at the compound I know that she will be courageous. “Draco” I look over my shoulder at Ceric that is standing by the outside door as he called. “There is someone at the gate wanting entrance” he says, which has me frowning. Since the attack from some of our own men from another chapter that we have maintained our gates closed and only allow to enter by invitation.

  “Were they invited?” I ask with a raised brow

  “Apparently not, but she won’t take no for an answer and refuses to leave.” I look over at Bion that is standing next to Ceric and frown at his statement, he said she, that means that whoever is at the gate is a woman.

  “You saying that Kade and Jason can’t take care of a woman?” I ask, because I know that the prospects are quite able to turn people away, they have been doing it with other Elemental’s which has impressed me on the way that they have handled themselves. “Go down there and see what the issue is” I state which has them both turn and leave to do my bidding.

  “I think I’m going to join them” Bjarni says as he stands and takes off after the other two men just as Caelius, Celmund, Burkhart and Brandr walk into the bar.

  “You were lucky” Burkhart is saying as he approaches

  “No way, you were just distracted” Brandr quips with a grin, their training went well as they all seem relaxed. I see Burkhart shrug and grin as he punches Brandr playfully on the arm.

  “Try that again and we will see” he teases before he takes the chair that Bjarni was sitting just moments before.

  “Brandr knocked Burkhart on his ass” Celmund states as he also takes a seat next to me, “you three should have seen it, it was magical. I hope the camera caught it, because I’m going to send a copy to everyone” Celmund teases

  “Yeah, yeah have your fun. I think I will take you on next time and have one of the guys filming how I make you cry” Burkhart quips with a grin, which has Celmund lifting his hands up in the air in defeat. We all know that in hand to hand combat its very rare to be able to beat Burkhart, that’s why the guys take such pleasure in teasing him. My phone beeps, taking it out of my jean pocket I frown. What the fuck? First two prospects can’t get rid of a single woman and now Bjarni is telling me that they are bringing her up here.

  “We having company” I state and see Cassius and Wulf look at each other before looking at me, “yeah, apparently they couldn’t get rid of her either” I say at their questioning looks. The others look at us with a questioning look but I don’t elaborate as I am now curious to see who this persistent creature is and what is so important that she won’t take no for an answer.

  I look over at the prospect and incline my head letting him know to bring me a drink. I’m feeling restless today, like something is pulling at my energy but I can’t tell what it is. Wulf bumps my foot with his boot and I glance at him to see him staring at the main door. Only now do I notice that everyone has quietened, I feel the muscles in my back tightening as not much surprises my men. I glance over my shoulder and nearly snap the back of the chair off when I see the vision before me.

  Fuck, If I wasn’t sitting down my knees wouldn’t support me. I have never felt like the ground was taken away from me like at this moment. “This here is Katrina” Bjarni says as he looks directly at me, a huge grin on his face. “And she insisted that she had to come in as she is looking for someone and is sure that person is here.”

  “Who are you looking for darling?” Brandr asks as he also grins. I know that all the men have recognized her from the blurry picture th
at we got, a picture that does not do her any justice. Her long wavy red hair blazes like a flame. Her blue eyes flash with life as she looks around the bar, not paying attention to anyone in particular.

  “I’m looking for a man” her voice is raspy which has my body reacting with such force that if I had to stand right now everyone would see the kind of reaction she has on me.

  “Well you came to the right place, as you can see there are many men here.” Ceric quips which has me glaring at him, the fucker is playing with fire. I see her looking at him, her eyes traveling over his body and she grins.

  “You a pretty one aren’t you, but nope it’s not you” at her words the others laugh at her calling Ceric pretty, it looks like she has some fire in her to go with her hair.

  “What would you want with this particular man sugar?” Cassius asks which has her looking over at the table, I see her eyes widen when she takes us all in.

  “Wow, have you all been handpicked to be here or what?” she asks as she looks around until she sees me, and then I see her pale. Does she know me? Does she know that I’m her mate? “No way” she mutters and takes a couple of steps closer. I notice the men all tense as they stand and take a protective stance around me. I nearly grin, what do they think this tiny woman is going to do to me? And then my grin disappears when I realize that she can bring me to my knees with a look alone.

  “It’s you” she mumbles

  “Yes it is” I state, not knowing what I’m agreeing to but wanting to please her.

  “Great” she says sarcastically, “out of all the studs in this place and I have to get stud number one” at her comment I tense and slowly rise turning completely to face her. I see her throw up her hands in annoyance, “I bet you have all the women after you, don’t you?” at her question I raise an eyebrow in surprise.

  “Only when I’m not around” Ceric says with a wink

  “No offense, you hot as hell but when he’s around I doubt anyone is first pick.” At her comment everyone throws their head back and roars with laughter except me.

  “Why are you looking for me?” that intrigues me, I have been looking for her and she’s the one that comes to find me.

  “Because if I had to wait for you to come and find me I would be old and grey by the time you decide” I feel my lips twitching at her mumbled reply, then she strokes her hair back away from her face and I’m as hard as fucking steel. Well if she looks down at my jeans she will definitely have something to see. “You might find this strange but I can find anything I want, and I decided that I wanted to meet my soulmate, never thought it would be a stud like you.” At her words the guys look over at her stunned.

  Well one thing is for sure, she knows what I am to her. She’s becoming more and more interesting by the second, no wonder the men couldn’t do anything with her, but if she thinks that I’m going to let her get away with anything she wants she has another thing coming. “So, what you saying is that you belong to me” I state, and immediately realize that I’ve made a mistake.

  “I don’t belong to anyone, but if that’s the way you think then it means that you belong to me too” at her words I smile and incline my head in amusement.

  “I’m all yours” I state and see her eyebrows lift in surprise, I know that she is finding this strange that I’m accepting what she said so easily but once she finds out what I am she will understand.

  “I guess you a sweet talker too” she grumbles as she shrugs, “so what is this place? I’m guessing you are all bikers” at her question some of the men grunt in response.

  “We are Elemental’s, our club is called the Elemental’s MC” I state and see her nod as she looks around.

  “What’s your name?” she asks suddenly as she looks back at me

  “Draco” I state and see her frown, her lips pout in thought.

  “Why do you accept what I said so easily?” she suddenly asks, “or are you thinking that I’m mad?” at her question most of the guys grin which has her tensing her shoulders.

  “I know you’re not mad as I’ve been looking for you too” at my words she gasps and takes another step closer.

  “Why were you looking for me?” she asks suspiciously and takes a breath which has her breasts raise and fall in her tight navy blue t-shirt, my eyes flicker back up to her face and I realize that she knows what she’s doing to me. The minx is a tease which has my blood heating with possibilities; well two can play at this game. I smile at her and see her blink, her breath catches and then she grins which has her eyes slant slightly and a dimple appear.

  “This is going to be interesting” I hear Burkhart mutter as he sits down, “I might as well sit back and enjoy the show.”

  “Well, now that you know I exist I’ll be leaving.” At her words my whole body tenses and I feel my rage rising.

  “You not going anywhere, we need to get to know each other” I state lamely which has Bjarni choke on his laughter and start coughing.

  “Smooth” Celmund whispers from behind me, assholes!

  “You embarrassing us, haven’t you learnt anything with me?” Brandr teases as he turns his back towards Katrina and places his hand over his mouth so that she can’t hear his mumbling, but all the others do as they start chocking on their laughter. I glance at Brandr and he suddenly trips against the table nearly falling if it wasn’t for his quick reactions.

  “Am I missing something?” she asks as her chin juts up and her shoulders tense, her eyes suspicious as she looks around at all the men. I can see she’s got fire in her blood, I don’t think she goes down easily without a fight. Instead of answering her I incline my head towards a table in the far corner of the bar.

  “Let’s sit over there so that we can talk” before I’m finished talking she’s shaking her head and takes a step back.

  “Maybe tomorrow, I have someplace else that I need to be” to say that I’m surprised is an understatement. There aren’t many that refuse me and being a woman even less, what she doesn’t understand is that she’s mine and there is no way that I’m going to let her out of my sight now that she is finally before me.

  “I’m afraid that I’m going to have to insist, first we talk and then we will accompany you wherever you would like to be” I say pleasantly which doesn’t see to make a difference when she frowns and glares at me.

  “Are you saying that you are keeping me here against my will” she asks angrily

  “After going through the trouble of coming here to meet me I’m sure you didn’t come here just to leave, let’s talk” I move towards the table that I indicated earlier and pull out a chair waiting for her to approach. I can see her mind spinning with possibilities, but then she shrugs and walks towards me. The sway of her hips as she moves gives sexy a whole new meaning, I think that my life has just become a whole lot more complicated.
