The Blood of Dragons (On Hold)

Chapter 3: You Are Mine

Back to the present, 19 years later. . .

* * * Emma's POV * * *

Rhythmic music thumped loudly in my chest as we entered the club. I immediately scanned the vast room looking for the 'Boss' or any of his goons.

The room was packed full with hot sweaty bodies rubbing up against each other in wild abandon. While, staying close to my sister and her friends, I continued to look for escape routes and tried to come up with scenarios to keep my sister and her friends safe.

"EMMIE," Nicole shouted with her hand cupped around the sides of her mouth, "LETS GRAB A SHOT!" Her eyes dancing in excitement.

The music was so loud that I could barely hear her words above the bumping techno music.

"YEAH." I shouted back and nodded in agreement.

Our little gaggle made it slowly over to the bar. The club was too packed to make a direct line over to the polished white counter tops of the ultra stylish bar.

I couldn't help but admire club, Drakonas, for its interior design. Drakonas was the most beautiful club I've ever been to with it's sleek white finishes and it's rich purple modern up-lighting. Purple hues climbed up the shiny white marble grey veined walls to the smooth glossy black ceiling that met to contrast together in Romanesque arches; "Modern meets twelfth century, it adds the perfect touch of elegance and warmth," I mused to myself. The dancers created purple ripples over the modern white digital tiled floors with each bounce and step they took to resemble a fervent purple sea.

That's when I felt a pair of eyes piercing the back of my head demanding that I turn around. I stood frozen in surprise and my heart thumped rapidly in response.

Conflict drew me out of reality; "do I runaway from the danger or do I stay to find out what is making my heart race in excitement?"

I inevitably turned around unable to fight the need to see the one making my heart race in anticipation. I directly locked my gaze to him the instant I whipped my head around.

*gasp*

My vision narrowed so that I could only see his beautifully sinful face. I felt my world spin as powerful emotions flooded my being like I was feeling everything for the first time. The floor quaked beneath my feet and I fell to my side. A man with strong arms eagerly stoped my fall.

The man who caught me was trying to start a conversation, but I couldn't hear a single word he said.

My eyes were still glued to the sexiest man I've ever seen.

The strong man flushed his cheek against mine to speak more intimately into my ear in an effort to bring my attention to his suggestive words.

I held my unbreakable gaze up to the man that looked down at me from the balcony above and watched his dark beautiful eyes as they turned liquid silver. A shiver ran down my spine.

The next moment the man that was holding me screamed and jumped back like he touched something scorching hot.

I saw him snarl up there on the balcony, exposing his beautiful white teeth and elongated canines. I was completely oblivious to what had just happened to the man that was just holding me; I simply couldn't look away from his dark enthrallment.

My beautiful mate starred back at me, neither one of us wanting to look away, and I felt myself calm under her gaze.
