Chapter 39: Nikolai

“Everything is ready for the coronation,” Draq advised me as he and Dru entered into my office.

I was relieved when the nurses told me that the twins would make a full recovery. We had been in each others’ lives for so long that I couldn’t imagine not having them by my side. Even though their wounds were deep and their powers almost non existent they recovered quickly, showing the true power of a dragon. The nurses watched in awe as they began to shed their damaged skin, and new skin emerged, this skin appearing slightly scaled, a clear indicator that their life force had merged with that of their dragon.

“Before the coronation there is something we must tell you. Something about your mate.” Dru expression solemn.

“About my mate?” I asked in confusion, I wasn’t aware that my mate had such a strong relationship with the twins.

“We met her once.” Draq speaks up seeing my look of confusion, “A very long time ago.”

“Before we knew you.” Dru replies before he begins to tell me the tale of how they met my mate and revived her family, and how an orb had told him that Mary was destined for greatness.

“So what does this mean?” I ask looking at both of the twins.

“We aren’t sure.” Draq responds, “Dru never saw the orb again and we didn’t know who Mary was until i remembered the day Dru had saved the lives of that family while we were being held as prisoners.”

“So you have no idea what this power might be?” I ask as I pace back in forth in my office. If Mary had an unknown power that would make her an even bigger target that she already was.

off the last phoenix. The phoenix had sided with the humans and had become their protector against all other supernatural beings. We were being slaughtered by human hunters and there was nothing we could do to retaliate. Any time we tried to fight against the humans the phoenix would swoop in and destroy our kind. One day enough was enough. The Kings and Queens of the supernatural races met together and began to plan for a war. It would be a battle against our strongest fighters and the phoenix. Many of the warriors were slaughtered. The dragon race was almost extinct after the war and the faerie race had to go into hiding. My father was one of the strongest warriors on the battle field. He had struck the killing blow to the phoenix. The other vampires swore fealty to him, making my father King of the Vampire race. The other leaders of the war had gone on to become rulers of their own race. Their united front during the
