One month later

Michael p.o.v

Sweat runs down my mask as I take cover from the bullets in the air. I wait as the bullets stops from firing as I moved from my cover spot and advance in the the forest until I get close to the shooter. I drive my sword through his stomach while my team takes out the rest of the men. I signal the human army to follow as we all quickly move to get to the front of the war zone. We have been fighting for the last month and we are all tired. My team are not used to long mission so we are bit cranky and slow but we try out best to keep pushing forward. "Ana, can you see the enemy?" She looks up from her spot and goes back down."They are very close, but very alerted." I nod as I pull a hologram from arm as it show me the outline of the field."Okay, divide into two team and start to surrounded them and wait for my signal." Ana follow me as as the army divides and we start to surround the enemy.

We all stay quiet as everyone wait for my signal. Ana nods to me to let me know that everyone was in position as I take out my gun and shot it in the air. We all come out running from our spot and start to attack the enemy by surprise. I take out three men at a time as I try to find the leader of this group. I search through the tents and areas until I saw him going into a tent. I rush to his as I take out another two men that got in my way. I walk into the tent to see the leader with out his shirt as he was trying to put on his armour, but it was too late. He puts his armour down as he raised his hand."Please make it quick, just don't go after my family.....that is all I am asking from dragon to dragon." I looked at him surprised as I look to his shoulder and see a red dragon mark shining from the sweat that runs down his body. I don't move as he stands up and get closer to the edge of my sword."Don't turn back now.....you have killed thousand of us and you just noticed it. Finish me before someone see that you are not doing your job."

I go to step back until I hear someone coming towards the tent and the leader runs himself through my sword as Ana appears before me."Oh you got the leader, time to go." I nod as she leave and I look back at the guy. I pull out the sword as he falls to the ground dead and I grab a picture of his family before leaving the tent. Everyone cheers as we leave one guy alive to send a message to the main leader of the war to inform him about this situation. We all walk back to our camp as the rest of the army celebrates with us. I walk to my tent as I take off my mask and my upper armour. I grab a wet cloth and start to face from all the dry blood and dirt. I grab another one to clean off the blood of the leader from my sword as I sigh deeply. I miss home, my bed, Alexis as well and my father. Someone walk into my tent as they wrap their arms around my waist and place their head on my shoulder. I look to see it was Ana as she smile softly before giving me a peck on the lips."The team want to celebrate this new victory, come with us so you can loosen up a bit."

I think about it until I agree with her and follow her to get into a Jeep that was mine. I drive off as more people followed me to a bar that was a bit far from camp. Everyone piled in as they started to order drinks and soon took shot to celebrate. I sat in a booth as I took shots after shot of vodka to distract myself. I sat there alone until I feel someone staring at me and I see Ana on the other side of the room as she made her way towards me. I lean back as she walk up to and sit on my lap. I don't look at her since my mind was distracted with what the leader reveal to me."What is on your mind love?" I look at here as I whisper to her quietly."The leader was a red dragon...He was a freaking dragon Ana." She look at me confused as she smiles."I don't believe you, I think you are drunk." I sigh as I look at to see a girl staring at Ana and start to feel jealousy run through my body. I grab Ana by her chin as I bring my lips up to hers as she is taking my surprised, pushes herself to me.

I open my eyes as I see the girl looking aukward in embarrassment as I smirk and pull away from Ana. "I am going to go since I am tired, can you go with James?" She nods as she give me one more kiss before getting off my lap and I stand up to leave. I walk out of the bar and head to my Jeep when someone stops me. I see it was the same girl from inside and I can tell she was a bit red from her cheeks. "I am sorry for look at your girl like that... I hope nothing will happen about it?" I shake my head as I use my Jeep to hold me standing from all the drinks I had."Not a problem at all. I never saw it and you never did it." I turn around to get into the Jeep when the girl spins me around as she pins me to the door with her body and she looked at my eyes."I hope I can somehow make up to you?" I smirk before I laugh hard."I don't think it is necessary at all."

As I turn back to her, she smashes her lips to mine and it surprised me, but I go with it. She tries to take off my shirt, but I push her away. She sighs as she places her hand on my chest."Don't worry, your girl wouldn't know." I stay still until I hear a chuckle beside us and I turn to see Ana there with a gun in her hand."You really think I wouldn't notice." The girl pulls away from me and acts innocently."It wasn't me, it was her that pushed me since she is drunk." I start to laugh until I grab her from her neck and lift her in the air. She start to choke and try to breath as she try to prick my fingers away with no luck. my eye were very bright as Ana placed her hand on my arm."Let her go....she isn't important to waste time on." I look back at the girl and let her go as she falls to the ground and take in breaths.

I growl as I get into my Jeep and take off leaving Ana there as I am on the road. I can feel my head in pain from all the stress of the war and now that the leader was a dragon.

I drive through the road as I can see the clear sky, the hills and feel the fresh air. As I take a turn on a round that was on the side of a mountain as I can see the hill slide covered in rocks and diet. I look up to the sky for a few seconds and once I turn back or the road, I see a guy standing in front of me and I swipe the Jeep to the left as it got caught in the edge of the hill before it flipped and start to go down. I hold on the seat as I rolled with the Jeep down the hill and glass flys everywhere as the Jeep finally stops moving. I was upside down as my vision was blurry and foggy as well. I try to move, but my left arm explodes in pain as I see a metal shrape sticking right on the inside of my elbow.

I unbuckle my seat belt as I go down and start to crawl with my right arm out of the window of the Jeep. The glass pierced through my skin as I was able to free myself and lay on the ground to rest. I take out my phone to see the screen cracked as I send an alert to the gang and the location of where I am at. I try to sit up, but I felt som weak that I fall back down to the ground. I listen to the sound of the cricket of the night as all of the sudden I head footsteps waking towards me. I stay still as I hear someone smack their head to their hand."Omg.....Marcus is going to kill us Andrew, you were only supposed to observe us, not push Mark on the roads." I don't recognize the voices as a skinny guy walks into my view and see that I am awake. My eye shine bright as he back away."Guys, she is awake! She survived the fall!"

I growl as people walk to my view as they see me wide awake."Mark, get the pain killers out and the bandages as well. she is bleeding out." I start to feel sleepy as my eyes close, but some wake me up as they pull a bit the metal from my arm."You need to stay awake from me, please stay awake." The Mark dude looked at me as I slowly nod. He start to pour hydrochloride on my arm as it start to bubble from my arm. He then takes out alcohol and puts it as well and I hiss from the pain as I hold on his arm and squeeze it. "Guys! a little help here?" A guy pulls my hand away as he pushes it to the ground and hold it their as Mark continue to clean me."Okay, I am going to pull the metal from her arm. Hold her down since she will be in pain." Hand were on me as they hold me as Mark places a cloth on my mouth so I can bit down."One.....two...three!" He start to pull it as I scream in pain and struggle to sit up, but the hands were pushing me down. The metal was taken out of my arm as all the sudden I was very tired and my eyes were starting to close to the point I completely black out from the pain.

Marcus p.o.v

I placed through the jet landing area as I waited for the team to return with Michael. I was nervous since Ii was going to see her for the first time and I don't know what to do. I hear roaring as I look up to the sky to see the jet descending quickly. The back door open to see Mark with a strecher as the rest follow him in a hurry. I see Michael laying on top with a mask on her face giving her oxygen and her left arm looked very bad form."What the hell happen to her!" Mark leaves with Zack and Marcus while Jane stayed behind."We were going to pull her out, but the new guy you put in made a huge mistake and threw Mark in the road, causing Michael to loose control of her car and roll over the edge of a hill." I can feel my eye going bright golden as the new guy comes out and looks at me. I turn away as I head to the medical bay where I see Mark trying to stabilize Michael. "I can save her, but she lost a lot of blood and we need blood to be able to put in her. Her arm looks like it won't make it, if I keep it on her, it could get effected and she can get sick until I remove it." I rub my face as I look at Mark.

" Take my blood...do what you have to do." Mark nods and asks Joshua to help him get blood out of me. Joshua injects a needle into a vein as my blood flows into a small bag before it goes through Michael's vein. "I will have to warn you, we don't know how she will react to your blood in her system. Since you guys are supposed to come together, you blood would bring you guys closer and she will question herself of you and Daniel." I nod as they get one bag of my blood before removing the needle. I watch Mark as he worked fast to see up to remove Michael's arm from below the elbow."Okay, this is going to hurt her so Joshua lift her up and Marcus will sit behind her so be can hold her while Zack hold her other hand and Jan her legs." Joshua lifts the stretcher a bit and lift Michael's body to a sitting position as I get on the stretcher and sit behind her. Joshua let her down slowly so her body was laying on my chest. I wrap my arm around her chest as I lay Zack get her right arm and Jane gets her legs."Ummm guys we got a problem." The team looks at Michael's and they are still as I see a reflect on a window and I see Michael was awake and just staring at everyone. Her gold and blues eyes look around as she was trying to process what was going on until I can feel her getting scared. She immediately tries to pull away, but I get a good hold of her while the rest hold her down. Joshua helps Mark with her left arm so she would stop moving it."Get her to bite down something and turn her head away Marcus!" I try to look for something, but I didn't see anything she could not down. I put my arm on her mouth as she was about to scream and she bites down hard. The team look at me and I nod at them to assure that I was okay. I wrap my legs around her to pin her down good and I turn her head away as Mark begins to remove her arm. She mumbles through my arm as she screams in pain and bites down hard on my arm causing me to jump a bit from the pain. My eye go bright golden as my dragon gives me strength to hold the pain. "Almost down, keep her steady!" Michael tried to pull away as tear run down her face and soon I can feel her canines pierce through my arm as her dragon was trying to fight me."Michael listen to me.... listening to my voice.... don't think about anyone....just focus on my voice...Block every noice around you until it is just you and me." She slowly stopped to struggle as she was staring at the window at a reflect of me."You are safe...no one is going to hurt you unless they go through me. You can trust me.....just relax and stay calm for me. We are helping you, so just sleep and everything will be alright.....I got you and I am not going anywhere." She stared at me for few seconds until she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep in my arms. She lets go of my arm as I pull away and see it was starting to heal as it left only two puncher marks.

Mark finishes and stat to stitch up Michael's arm and then wraps it to keep it from getting infected. Joshua lifts her up and I get off as he lays her back down before Mark hooks her up to a monitor and a breathing mask as well."Can you please move her to my room, I want to keep an eye on her." Mark nods and I leave the bay as I tell two servents to get my room ready for Michael. I head to my office to continue my works until I hear a knock on the order and I see Andrew standing there in silence. I ignore in as I continue my paperwork and he walks in."I want to apologise for my action today in the mission. I am telling you the truth that it wasn't my attention..."

I slam my hand on my desk as I stand and he bows his head down."It wasn't your attention to push Mark so Michael can crash! You have one simple order to follow and you almost killed my mate!" He flinches a bit as I walk up to him and grab him from his jaw and make him look at me."This was an opportunity for you to be part of something great, but you failed so there is no point of you standing in front of me." My hand form into a blade and I stab him through his chest. He looked shocked as he hold my hand before I pull away and he falls to the ground.

Someone sigh as I look towards the door to see my young sister Amanda looking at me with a worried face."This is the eighth guy you kill this week brother. Soon you are going to run out of volunteers." I growl at her as I sit back down at my desk to finish my work."What are you doing here Amanda? I know I never send you a letter of an invitation." She laughs as she walks behind me and wraps her arms around my neck."I wanted to see you again and I notice that Michael is here even though she doesn't know what is going on." I stop writing as she sighs and sits on my desk."You guys are so complicated! Why are you guys pushing Michael so much! She is taking care of a adopt child and you guys pull her away.....Do you know what you are going to say since you guys will connect a bit." I rub the back of my neck as she see I knew something else."What did you do?"

I stand up and leave my office as we head to my room and I open it to see servants check on Michael. "Everyone leave!" They all give me a small bow before leaving us alone with Michael. She was very still and a bit sweating as I sit on the bed on the right as I hold her hand. "She was in a accident and.....I gave her my blood since she lost a lot. Mark warned me about the bond, but I need to save her and I wasn't going to let her die." Amanda walk to her left side to see her arm was gone. Only from her elbow up was there while below was missing. "How long will she be out?" I shrug as I kiss Michael's forehead."We don't know....she went into a deep sleep and we don't know when she will wake up." I stare at her as I think back to her team. They will soon or later find out that she is missing and hell will rain down on us.

Ana p.o.v

I laugh with the gang as we took our drinks together. After Michael left, I can back into the bar so I can distract myself and drink more. As I took another drink, my phone started to buzz including the gangs as well. I pull out my phone to see am alert from Michael and I stand up quickly. The gang does as well and we pprint out of the bar to our cars and take off. I tell Jacob the directions as the twins follow from behind us. As we pull up to where her location was, I notice that it was not on the road, but on the side of it. We all get off the cars as we examine the place until Jacob calls me."I think I know where it is coming from." I rush to his side as I see over the edge was Michael's keep all destroyed and wrecked. I am the first one to slide down while the rest follow me as well. I get to the bottom and look to the driver seat to see Michael was missing.

The guys starts to look around until I find her phone on the side."Ana, there is blood here." I walk towards Jacob as I see a shrape metal on the floor covered in blood and the ground around it as well. Luke take out his phone and start to scan the areas to map out what happen here. Once he finished, he hand me his phone and I see that her Jeep rolls all the way down here, she called us then made her way out of the window while not using her left hand and layed on the ground. Then it showed five people showing up and they take Michael with them, but it doesn't explain about the blood from the floor." We need to head back to camp to order a search for Michael. I am going to have to call Ivan for this." They nod as I climb back to the road and I take out my phone. I dial Ivan and it rings for a bit until he answers."Hey Ana, is everything alright?" I sighs as I sit on the ground.

"Michael... Michael...." I hold back a shaky breath as I can hear Ivan closing a door."Ana what is wrong my daughter! what is happening?" I try to relax before I finally speak."Michael was in a accident and went missing! We arrive to the area where she send us a distressed signal, but only to find her Jeep completely destroy, her phone on the ground and blood everywhere." The line stays silent until I can hear things been through in the room and things smashing hard on the ground. I can hear Ivan panicking as he threw things and broke them. I wait for him to calm down until he picked up the phone."I am going to send a message to the commander at the camp so he can release y'all so you can do an investigation and Jacob will lead it."

"I understand sir, see you in a few hours." I hang up and tears start to pour down my cheeks as I cover my mouth from crying out loud. I wasn't there when Michael needed me and now she has gone missing without any clues at all. We all head into our cars and Jacob drive back to the camp and we were discharge immediately. We all pack our thing and I start to pack all of Michael's stuff before I put them on a private jet that Ivan send us. I get into the jet to relax as everyone else sits down as well and the jet takes off in the air.

Hours later

We arrive back home as I get off to see Alexis waiting anxiously as his eyes land on my."Aunt Ana!" He runs up to me as I pick him up into my arm as he holds me tight."Awwww I missed you so much Alexis, I hope you behave with your grandfather." He nods as I put him down and he looks around before looking at me."Where is my mother?" I smile as I ruff his hair a bit."She is still helping out people, once she is done....she will come home to us." He sigh with a sad look as Ivan picks him up into his arms."Don't worry Alexis, your mother can take care of herself and she is fine, right Ana." Ivan looks at me while Alexis turn to me and I nod."She is fine, she can take care of herself."

I hope whatever she is at... I hope she is fine.
