Dragon's Wolf

I am a dragon.

I am the leader of a tribe of dragons, and not just some mate to the Chief -the dragon equivalent to an Alpha or Itan- but the leader. The single, ruthless, mateless, female Chief of all the Arctic dragons. Yup I'm a female, shocker right? Well I'll say. Females are normally regarded as homemakers and mothers, but up here in the Arctic we do things differently. Up here our females are just as rough, tough, and ready to rumble as the males and most still make it home in time to whip up a mean meal.

The males still love us though, well they love the other females who are mated to them. We keep mainly to ourselves since most species don't really intermingle and no other fire breathers really brother to withstand the cold and snow. What can I say, we're an extremely stubborn branch in the tree of tribes.

Anyway at the moment I happen to be leaning against the polished oak desk in my office, hey every leader needs her own office, and let me say I must look hot. I purposely put on my tight yet comfy boot cut jeans -skinny jeans are for pussies- and a fitted black thick strapped tank. I'm 6'4" and not afraid to throw my weight around, which is mostly muscle with a few organs.

While most women down South would wear heels I wear steel toed men's work boots.

Stepping out of my office after signing a few papers and leaving a sticky note I swung on my black hooded trench and casually strolled out the door to my Bush plane. To the humans I am a registered Bush Pilot that operates out of our "little" town. Little for they know the range I rule over.

I laughed at this thought as I flew down to my appointment to see a council about a hatchling. She was born on our land but the other tribe insists she's theirs. I sighed as I landed knowing its going to be a headache. I know this is neutral territory for all species and is also as a result the middle of a thick pine forest in the mountains. There stands a castle like mansion where we dragons gathered for the meeting.

I was early so I decided to get something to eat. I nibbled on some tasty seal jerky as I learned against a wall of the marble stone eyeing everyone else that walked by. Apparently there was a werewolf meeting going on in the left wing cuz this place is crawling with them.

I don't particularly mind the wolf scent or any scent really except for the enemy's that is. Now that was a rank smell. I watched the others file into my meeting room and grudgingly I stopped fiddling with the jerky in my mouth and swallowed it. Pushing off the wall I strode in last with swagger and took my place. The head councilmen was already well acquainted with me and gave me a hard glare, "Everyone disarm yourselves and set it on the table in front of you."

Murmurs went around as I pulled a long wicked looking hunting knife off of my belt and set it on the table. There were only a few others who were armed and they had guns. Pfft way to be originally badass guys.

I sit back unworried as I survey everyone waiting. This is going to be a pain in the ass so I'll just be a bitchy thorn in everyone's side from the start.

Aaron's POV

I can't believe I got stuck going with the Alpha and Beta to the meeting. I mean sure anyone else would be ecstatic but I'm not built with the patience of a saint. I'm the Alpha's younger brother, he never let's me forget it, and the pack's best tracker. I tower over everyone except of course my brother and father and damn well know I tend to loom over people. Great...

I sigh and stroll around waiting for my brother and his best friend to finish. Catching wind of an alluring scent I unwittingly follow it desperate to locate the source of the minty refreshing smell. I whine as I discover the door in which it comes from is locked and in a meeting. I began to pace outside of the door as I waited impatiently.

It was my Alpha who found me first. He didn't look none too pleased at my disappearance and pulled me a good distance from the door before hissing, "What are you doing? I thought I told you to wait by our door."

It was at that moment that the heavy pine doors opened and people began streaming out. I looked eagerly for the a source of the scent. My brother looked extremely confused as I ignored the glares and waited for the source to come out.

When she finally does it hits me like an arrow. Everyone else had gone and she was like an angel. Her silver hair was long and pulled up into a pony that still fell past her waist. Her eyes were a gorgeous icy yet sapphire blue that immediately snapped to my own. We stood there locked in each other's gazes until I heard myself whisper, "Mine."

A corner of her lip tugged up as she confirmed it, "Mate."

I began walking toward her but my brother grabbed my wrist as the Beta John stared in shock. I found myself growling at him before yanking my arm from his grasp and walked toward her.

Aeriella's POV

I had won custody of the child and waited for everyone to leave before taking her by the hand. A bit before the meeting ended I'd caught a whiff of the most alluring scent I'd ever smelled. It was piney and had the sweet musk of the forest but simply drew me in. Another reason I'd waited to be the last one.

It all starts with the scent before going to other things my mother had told me. I turned causing my trench to flair out as I grabbed the girl's small hand. I began trotting toward the door and when I stepped through I stopped and stared. He had to be the most gorgeous male alive.

His hair was black, windblown, and short enough to be manly yet long enough to be cute. He was taller than me, an uncommon thing among some of the other species, and tanned. His eyes were dark, they had to be some sort of dark gold or green... kinda both.

We locked eyes and I felt the instant connection even as he confirmed my thoughts, "Mine."

I felt the beginning of a smirk as he seemed to want my confirmation so I spoke, "Mate."
