Excerpt:
I WAS BACK INSIDE that cave, the one where
Lucian lost his life. I looked around but I knew he wasn’t going to come for
me, he was dead. Then what the hell am I still doing here, staring at a psycho
who claims to be my dragon?
“You really thought that I was your dragon,
Elena? Seriously?” He laughed that sadistic laugh that made my insides twist
and turn in all directions.
“Get away from me you freak,” I spat.
His hand connected hard against my cheek,
it burned and my ears rang for a couple of seconds.
“I’m not a freak, I’m a patriot.”
“Patriot?” I laughed as loud as I could.
“You are a murderer!”
Another strike. The Elementals clucked like
crazy, they could feel the danger all around them and must have felt helpless.
It was beginning to drive me insane.
“Stop it you mongrels, or I’ll skin you alive,”
Paul yelled and for some reason they listened. He looked back down at me again.
The point of his knife was close to my throat. “It’s funny how everyone around
you knows who you are, Elena, except you.”
“What are you talking about?”
He laughed again. “I guess they like to
play mind games with you, like to keep you in the dark.” His eyes met mine.
“Some friends you have.”
“Stop that, you know nothing about my
friends, or what friendship is.”
“Why? Because they all end up betraying you
at the end of the day. Take it from me; it’s better to live in the dark. You
can do whatever you want, be whatever you want. Your friends don’t give a shit
about you, and neither does your dragon.”
“You are not my dragon,” I yelled again.
“Oh, I know that, and for some sick,
twisted reason your true dragon wasn’t bothered one bit that I claimed you as
my rider.”
“You are lying.”
“Am I?” He looked around. “Then where is
your dragon, Elena? Why isn’t it here?” The Elementals’ clucking noises drowned
the rest of Paul’s words. I could see his lips moving, but their sounds of pure
panic drilled through my brain, making it impossible to hear what he had to
say. It grew louder and louder and then a cannon shot rang through their cries.
I jumped up in bed, soaked with sweat. It
was like, the gazillionth time I’d had that dream. I could still hear their
clucking and it made me feel like I was going crazy, but still, no tears came.
My heart felt as if it was bouncing inside my ears. No matter how many times I
had the same dream, I could never hear Paul’s last words as the Elemental
sounds kept interrupting him. But there was one thing that I knew was a lie, I
didn’t own a dragon. I was a dragon, and that was one piece of information I
still struggled to deal with.
Author Information:
Adrienne Woods was born and raised in South
Africa, where she still lives with her husband and two beautiful little girls.
She always knew she was going to be a writer, but it only started to really
happen about four years ago. In her free time―if she
gets any because moms don’t really have free time―she
loves to spend it with friends, whether it’s a girl’s night out,
or just watching a movie. She’s a very
chilled person. Her writing career started with Firebolt, book one in the
Dragonian series. There will be four books in total, including a further two to
three books, which will be stories that take place within the Dragonian series.
Her other series, Dream Casters, will be released mid-2015. She also writes in
different genres, and her woman’s fiction, The Pregnancy Diaries, will be
published under a pseudonym. And then, she has a paranormal series by the name
of the Aswang series, which will consist of about ten novels. And if that
wasn’t enough, there is another series, Guardians of Monsters, which will be
released in 2016.
