Chapter 100

Skylar

1 run forward, ready to save Jaiden, who has turned to stone. He is staring into the depths of Lucas’ mouth while our former friend, now a friend, is getting ready to breathe fire. There is this horrid sound coming out of his nose, and while I wish I could say Lucas recognizes us, I know he doesn’t.

“Jaiden!” I shout. “Get away! He can’t recognize you!”

Jaiden finally seems to snap out of his stupor, his eyes flicking to mine. But it’s too late. Luca*’s chest begins to swell, and I know another blast of fire is imminent.

“No! 15

I scream, leaping forward and shoving Jaiden out of the line of fire. He stumbles and I fall on top of him just as Lucas lets out a roar, spewing forth a stream of intense flames where Jaiden once stood.

I hug Jaiden, feeling the heat of the flames pass over my back. When the heat fades, I scramble to my feet and turn around, staring at Lucas

He is no longer trustworthy and Max’s pack are all growling at him as if getting ready to attack. Lucas doesn’t like that and screeches a warning before lifting his neck to make himself appear even larger.

“Skylar!” Alpha Max shouts in his human form “Get the hell out of there! We got this!”

Jaiden snorts. “He got this? Is he kidding me? A hundred-foot-tall dragon has lost all its sense of control, and he claims his pack can handle it?!”

I don’t have enough time to answer him. Max’s pack is already attacking Lucas, who easily uses his tail to smash two wolves into a nearby tree.

Jane, Cleo!” Alpha Max cries out, but it’s too late.

Jane and Cleo are dead.

“This isn’t good…” Jaiden murmurs and I can only agree with him.

The winds are changing, and for a few breaths, everything stands still. Then, without warning, Lucas takes flight with a powerful beat of his angelic and demonic wings. The sudden gust of my arm almost sends me flying, but Jaiden holds me steady.

“F*ck…” He mutters. “The last time Lucas shape-shifted into a dragon, he wasn’t this big, and Xavier was there to beat sense

into him.”

My eyes widen. “This has happened before?”

“Once,” Jaiden grits his teeth. “You see, Lucas can’t just change his appearance to look different in his human form. He can transform into any sort of monster you can imagine. But he seldom remembers who he is. His mom, the former Alpha, Daisy, thinks his instincts become too much for him to handle.

“I..I didn’t know that,” I mumble as I stare up into the sky, watching Luca**s immense form disappear into the clouds, leaving behind only chaos.

“Skylar!” Alpha Max shouts again, this time from a considerable distance. He’s trying to regroup his pack and bring some order to the battlefield, which is now more like a graveyard.

“He’ll come back,” I murmur, my eyes still fixed on the now clear sky. “He won’t leave us…he can’t.”

But Jaiden shakes his head, pulling me away from the battlefield. “We need to leave,” he says insistently. “We’ve done all we can here. The shadow lycans are defeated, but now we have to make sure Lucas doesn’t destroy the entire city in his dragon
