The Draglen Brothers - DRAKEN (BK 1)

by Solease Barner

  “I’m glad I’m with him, too.” I see that he will change first. He looks like he is enjoying this. “Showken, does it hurt to change, or feel good?”

  “Ohh, it feels really good to change into beast.”

  “Okay.” I really need to pee, my man is going to change right in front of me. I’m scared. I hope I don’t pass out. I see his body stretching and growing, and it’s like his skin is breaking. I really need to pee now. I can see the purple. Oh his wings are huge. I continue to watch, and his hand rips and claws come forth. He shakes, and before I know it he is a dragon, spitting fire, growling, the whole nine yards. Shit!

  “It’s awesome, right?”

  “Yep.” I can’t say anything but wow right now. I’m marrying a dragon for real, not a fake dragon. He looks at me and I feel the growl in my chest, and heat that shoots right in between my legs. Damn that felt good. He nods and takes off into the sky. His brothers follow behind him, one after the other, until the sky is filled with dragons, who look like they are playing. This can’t be real.

  “So, Cess, what do you think?” he says, happily.

  “I, umm . . . it was awesome. Yes, awesome,” I say, watching them in the sky. I see Draken twirling and shooting up really fast, and also blowing smoke out of his nostrils.

  “They will be gone for at least an hour, let’s eat,” he says. I can’t eat, it will surely come up. I can deal with seeing the dragon, but changing is like, I don’t know, I just prefer not to see that part.

  “Sure, we can eat.” Showken calls for food, and pretty soon we have everything in front of us. I pick up a pear and take a bite. I start thinking about our wedding on earth, and how I have to deal with two weddings. I would prefer only one, but I’m sure Draken wants a wedding here, in his land. He said everyone would come, I’m not sure what that means, but this is a large amount of people out in their garden. I can only imagine the wedding. I look at my ring and smile; it’s so unique and beautiful, I love it.

  “It can never be removed unless Draken takes it off,” Showken says, watching me looking at my ring.

  “I will never take it off,” I say, looking at him.

  “That ring will protect you, Cess. Also, it’s special, and was made for you especially.”

  “How is that possible, Draken says he just got this together,” I say, frowning. Showken is not making sense.

  “Trust me, it was made a long time ago. Someone must have known you would come,” Showken says, continuing to eat everything near him on the table. I watch in wonder as Draken plays in the sky. How often will he need to fly, and will I ever go with him? Do I want to? Yes, I just have to lay down the rules on spinning, flipping and spitting fire. I will have children with him, oh God, what will they be? Will I bear a dragon or human, I . . . whoa, I feel a growl in my chest, and heat again. I hold on to the chair with both hands as I feel the need of him again.

  “Oh, he can sense you Cess, and your questions are many.” He chuckles. I think privacy does not exist in this family, or world, more than likely. “Yes, your arousal is sensed as well.” Shit, I need to learn how to control that.

  “Thanks for letting me know that, Showken,” I say, rolling my eyes. I sip from my glass of wine, and continue to look at the people all around.

  “Any time, Cess,” he says, smiling.

  “I think you need a woman, Showken,” I say.

  “Really? Well, Cess, I’ll have you know I have women all the time, but if you’re referring to getting married like Draken, I like dating. I’ll always be single,” he says, and instead of smiling he has a strange look on his face. I wonder if he really does mean that? I’ll ask Draken later. Oh, he’s flying down, I can’t wait till he is back by my side. I put my glass down as he comes and lands, so smooth. He looks so powerful. I can’t wait to get him back to the room. His sending me heat like that has me feeling all kinds of feelings. I stand to watch as he begins to change back. It’s a lot faster when he changes back into human form. I watch in amazement this time. He is greeted with a wrap, and starts straight for me. I smile, wanting him back. He finally reaches me.

  “Princess, are you ready to go take a tour of our castle?” Draken asks.

  DRAKEN

  I’m so happy right now. I have my Princess with me and I’m taking her on a tour of the castle. Her new home.

  “Draken, it’s so big and beautiful. Do you all stay in the castle?” she asks.

  “Yes, the castle is our home; none of us would ever leave. It’s your home, too,” I say, pulling her into one of the many rooms. I need to touch and kiss that soft skin, pushing her up against the wall will allow this.

  “Draken, what are you doing? What if someone comes in?” she asks. What she doesn’t know is that this section is ours, for when we start to have children.

  “No one will come in, now I need a taste,” I say, dropping to my knees. Her face reddens quickly. I like to keep her on her toes.

  “Draken, right now?”

  “Mmmmm, yes, Princess,” I reply, placing my hands on her ankles, moving in between her legs, I grab each leg, making sure her thighs are on my shoulders. She slides down the door as I hold her backside, and her treasure is all my pleasure. She must have wondered why panties are never going to be laid out for her. I like to take her without fussing with panties. I feel her hands on my shoulders, as she squeezes I growl. I love pleasuring my Princess.

  “Draken, I . . . ohhh . . . I-”

  “Say it.”

  “Draaa-”

  “Say it,” I command.

  “Draken,” she whispers, which makes a very loud growl exit my mouth. She knows I like her to scream, she’s scared of being caught.

  “Louder!”

  “Draken, please. Someone may hear us, what if . . . ahhh . . . I-”

  “LOUDER!”

  “DRAKEEEEEN!” she yells as she climaxes. I hold her there as she comes down and her shaking stops. Placing her feet on the floor and keeping her steady, I rise and share her treasure with her, giving a long, deep kiss and enjoying her moans. She has finally found her voice.

  “Draken,” she says, panting slowly. “That, I want to pleasure you, too.”

  “Okay, but come, we have to go see my sister. She has been asking why you are not coming around. Don’t worry, I see the frown on your face. I reminded her of how she can sometimes not be a nice dragon,” I say, arching a brow.

  “Well, I don’t want to go if she is going to be, I don’t know, weird or scary.”

  “She will never do that in front of me. Beauka has been hurt and holds a lot of pain, but I think when she finds a love, then it could be safe for you to be alone with her. Until then, never,” I say, hoping that she is reassured, besides, I have given her great protection in her ring.

  “Well, I guess let’s go see your sister,” she says, making a weird face. I love how her emotions just come out. When we come to Beauka’s section, she is in the hall, looking beautiful as usual. Beauka has the same color hair as I do, but with blue-green eyes. She is very smart, intense and dangerous when she wants to be.

  “Hello, my brother, I’m so glad you are joining me for some tea,” she says. Princess looks hesitant. Maybe I told her too much, but I will always tell Princess the truth.

  “Hello, my dear sister,” I turn, pulling Princess closer. “You have met Princess already.”

  “Yes, I will call her by what comforts her. Hello, Cess, I’m glad you are here for tea. I’m sure Draken has told you lies about me, but I assure you I’m the calmest person among everyone in this castle. Come, let’s have some tea and dessert. I love desserts,” Beauka says, turning and waving us into her living space. Beauka has a huge living space, she has been the only girl for years, so she might be friendly, yet my sister can be jealous. We sit and she pours the tea, not taking her eyes off Princess. I growl, and she nods her understanding that she is not exempt when it comes to Princess.

  “So, Cess, how are you adjusting to our land?” she asks.

&nb
sp; “Well, it’s very pretty and magical. I love everything about this place,” Princess says. I smile, hoping that they will be good friends, Cess will need female companionship

  “Yes, it is. So, is my brother good to you?”

  “Oh yes,” she blushes. “He is such a dream to me, I love him very much.” That makes me smile. Beauka makes us each a plate of cakes, and fills our cups with tea. I don’t like tea, but to make my sister smile I will drink it.

  “Thank you, sis, it looks amazing. Did you help decide on what desserts?” I ask, making conversation. I love my sister, but she and I don’t always see eye to eye, especially when we fly. That is why I avoid flying with Beauka. Domlen can handle her so much better.

  “Yes, Draken, you know I make all decisions about myself,” she smiles at Princess. “Do you plan to give Draken heirs?”

  “Oh, well we haven’t discussed children yet,” Princess says, lifting her cup and taking a drink. I should have warned her about Beauka’s tea. She usually puts in her own specialty. It will make you drowsy if you’re not used to it. I notice Princess’ eyes are getting droopy. I think it’s time to take her to bed.

  “Well, sister, Princess is getting tired. I’ve showed her tons of the castle, so I think we will be going,” I say, realizing Princess needs to rest.

  “Of course, brother, take care, Cess, and maybe we could spend some girl time together,” Beauka says, with a huge smile. We leave Beauka’s living space. When we are in the hall, I hold Princess in my arms and, closing my eyes, I take us instantly to my room. I don’t like instant transport, as it can make us weak as dragons. I lay her on the bed and she falls into a deep sleep. I watch her as she sleeps peacefully. Beauka’s tea will not do any harm, it just puts you to sleep. That is what she likes. I call for Showken, and he arrives outside the hall.

  “Showken, Princess is sleeping,” I say, arching a brow. “We had tea with Beauka,”

  “I don’t have tea with our sister, she is really crazy. So, what do you need, Draken?” Showken says, shuddering just thinking about Beauka’s tea.

  “I need to talk with Velca. I need to apologize for having her life waste away. I don’t want her to feel she wasn’t good enough. I just want her to understand Princess is my love. So, I need you to arrange a meeting with her and her mother, as her father is in holding. He crossed me with Princess, but I would like to speak with his wife and daughter, with Princess present, of course. Can you arrange?”

  “Yeah, sure. Although you owe nothing to anyone. She is still going to be pissed, but I see why you are sending me, as I can help convince her with my charm,” Showken says, winking.

  “Showken, don’t seduce her. I just want a meeting.”

  “Okay, Draken. I want to ask you something.”

  I study Showken for a second. Then I see he looks serious.

  “I want to know are you worried about getting bored with Cess, I mean you love her, but we are talking forever. Plus, you have not said anything about taking on a Giver. Which is common knowledge and is accepted,” Showken says. I control my beast from growling at him.

  “I don’t want anyone but Princess, you don’t understand because you have never loved. When you do, I will remember this conversation, brother, at your wedding. Now, go . . . ” I pause, smelling an unfamiliar scent in the castle.

  “Do you smell that?” I take a long breath and I’m sure someone is in the house that should not be.

  “Yes, I do smell that, it’s another dragon for sure, maybe a few more,” Showken says, as his beast comes forth. Something is not right.

  “I need to go to Princess.” I turn and open the door, and see a woman with long, light-purple hair. I growl, and she changes right before my eyes into another dragon. FUUUUUCCCKK! I growl, Showken standing, glaring. Hawken and Layern rush in the room soon after.

  “Draken, Velca’s mother and her brothers were on the grounds. I didn’t get a fix on them, because Velca’s mother has your smell for some reason. I did, however, feel an enormous amount of anger towards Cess. I’m sorry, Draken, they are no longer in Cortamagen, but are in Meltawen. You know we don’t really get along with the family that rules that land, so if we go, it will mean war.” I try to focus on what Layern says, but I feel Princess’ fear. I will find her.

  “Layern, war it is. I want Princess back tonight, and if the entire land goes up in flames, so be it.” How could I not protect her? “KILL EVERYONE!” I yell. I hope Princess learns quickly about her ring.

  “Draken, they will all die, we promised to protect Cess, and we have failed. Forgive us, brother.” I see the hurt in my brothers eyes. Everyone’s beast is going to be released. Beauka comes in, spitting fire.

  “Who dares come to our home and steal my new sister? I fly with you tonight.” Beauka turns and walks out. “LETS GOOO!” she yells. I close my eyes and we are in the garden where I proposed, I transform along with my brothers, and for the first time, Beauka. GRRRRRR, who has touched MY Princess. You will die! I’m coming to get you, Princess, hold on.

  CESS

  What the hell is going on? I remember tea with Beauka and Draken, yes, Draken hugged me. I went to sleep. A woman is standing over me, speaking another language, but I can tell she is angry. I slowly open my eyes, and see another pair of eyes staring fiercely at me. I become immediately scared and now I have to pee, really badly.

  “Umm, who are you, and where’s Draken?” I ask, scared of the response, please Draken, if you can hear me, I’m scared.

  “You are the little human who stole my daughter’s right. She was supposed to be queen one day, now my husband will die, my daughter is broken and you think you will get a happy ending? It won’t happen, human. I hate humans, and it will be a pleasure to kill you,” she snarls. She nods to a man who is standing next to her, and he opens the gate of the prison where she’s holding me captive.

  “Wait, you’re going to kill me, I had no idea Draken was supposed to marry your daughter, but if she wants him I will back out,” I say, swallowing and hoping she will take my deal. She grasps the man’s arm and they walk towards me.

  “You stupid little human, he will never let you go, he marked you. You have his eye color. He was going to die for you and I hoped he would, but you showed up and caused us more embarrassment. I want you on display, for even though I know he will kill me, he will want death, too, after you perish.” Her eyes take on a glow that makes me want to pee right there. The man comes and grabs my arm, squeezing tightly. That is when I hear the growl.

  “You should not be touching me, I think it’s going to get bad for you,” I say, looking at the man. He grins and I see fangs. What is he?

  “You bring her,” the woman says to the man, who grasps my hands together in one of his, and drags me behind her.

  “Please, let me go. I don’t know anything about this. I will go home. I promise she can have him.”

  “Quiet,” she growls. The man drags me to the center of a room where a group of angry people has gathered. Please, Draken, hurry, I don’t want to die. I hear the growling, and it’s getting louder and more intense. Then I hear Draken’s voice in my head, “Princess, use your ring.” Use the ring? Get your ass here, Draken, this is a ring not a . . . the ring did move from a dragon, covering its body. I don’t know how to use the fucking ring. All these people around me are speaking in that language, yelling at me. All of this because he decided not to marry her daughter, then a woman with long black hair comes running over to me.

  “What have you done, mother?” she says, concern in her eyes. This woman is beautiful. Then I remember. She just called the one who says she is going to kill me “Mother”. This is supposed to be Draken’s wife. I’m not nearly as beautiful as she is.

  “I’m defending you, Velca. That human you are looking at sleeps with Draken, and will be queen. It was your birthright, and she comes and steals it.”

  “You shouldn’t have done this! Prince Draken is going to kill us all! You sentenced us all to death!” She turns
and looks at me. “I’m sorry, I do not hate you. I had nothing to do with this. Do you believe me?” I say nothing, still mesmerized by her beauty.

  “I believe you. Tell your mother this is not the way, I will let you have him,” I say, whispering very low.

  “Human, I can still hear you, and nothing will stop me. Velca, do you know your father is being held? You want me to let her go? Even knowing it’s her fault?”

  “Yes,” Velca says, hurt. “Father should not have gone, none of you. My brothers will die because of your coldness, this-” Velca closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. “Prince Draken made his choice, I respect it, I may be hurt, but I do not believe in violence. I want her released now. He’s coming, Mother, and he will destroy everyone, including me. Is that what you want? Release her, and maybe we can save the land that you sealed with death, already.”

  I feel a burning inside me, I hear his voice again. “Princess, use the ring, speak to it.” I raise my hand to my mouth and say, “Help,” to the ring. Nothing happens. I can hear Velca and her mother facing off. The people start yelling at me again, and tears start to roll down my cheeks. I’m so scared. Tears begin to drip onto my ring, and I feel it shifting on my finger. The dragon on my ring begins to expand and I want to run, but the wings grow and start shielding my body. I hear Velca’s mother scream, and she shoots fire at me, but I’m completely covered now. I can see out, and the flames she shoots are bouncing off. Thank God. Please hurry, Draken, this woman is trying to burn me alive. I hear the growl and it’s close, really close. That’s when I start hearing screams and cries. I look up and see a dragon hand ripping the roof off. It’s purple, it’s Draken, yes! Velca falls to the ground. I see a green and greenish-blue dragon flying overhead. Draken is burning everything he sees, and the others are turning into dragons as he fights. Oh God, he leans his head in and rips apart the man who dragged me. I feel something warm going down my legs, shit, I’ve peed on myself. I’ve just seen Draken rip someone into pieces. Draken reaches for Velca, and I start yelling.
