Serenity's POV
I nervously sat in the waiting room of the clinic that was part of the Queens dragon shifter clan. A few weeks ago I had my annual physical and I was here for my results. Every year female dragon shifters would meet with the OB/GYN to make sure we were healthy. It wasn't long until I was called and a half hour later I walked out of the office pleased with my results.
After the appointment I headed to work and got off just as the sun set. I made a quick stop by my apartment before shifting to dragon form and flew in the direction of Xanatos's home. Upon my arrival was Noah and he reluctantly agreed to help Xanatos for the sake of freeing Elisa. My brother stood in his dragon form as I landed beside him.
I greeted my twin with an affectionate nudge against his neck and Noah responded by doing the same just as the gargoyles arrived. Goliath greeted me by stroking my snout and I gave him a quick lick to the face before we headed inside. Xanatos was in his gargoyle robotic suit when we entered and Noah growled at seeing his mate. She and Owen were turned to stone once again and hopefully before the night was over with the spell would be lifted.
According to Xanatos the spell would break when the sky would appear to be burning. He created some bombs that the gargoyles would carry around until the time was right for them to light up. Noah and I didn't need bombs since all we needed to do was unleash our flames within the air. Dragon shifters can control their dragon fire to make sure it wouldn't burn out of control. Bronx scratched at an old tapestry nearby in uneasiness and I went over to the gargoyle dog and licked him with my tongue.
Bronx immediately calmed down and lay down on the floor. Goliath chuckled before we headed out to the roof and not long after the robots took off did all of us take to the sky. I flew alongside Goliath while the others were paired up. Noah worked alongside with Hudson since my brother liked the elder gargoyle.
Goliath suggested I make sure my dragon fire was fine so I unleashed several streams of fire from my mouth. As I did my I suddenly turned my head towards the direction of the castle. An uneasy feeling air stirred within me so I turn my body heading back to the castle. Goliath protested and glided after me with Xanatos following behind.
As soon as I landed I scented Demona and that of an unknown human male. Goliath landed shortly after alongside Xanatos. I used my body to slam the steel door down just in time to see the floor breaking apart. Goliath moved quickly and was able to grab hold of Elisa and Owen in their stone forms. He moved backwards and set the statues down just as Xanatos called out Demona's name.
Demona gave the old man she was fighting against a kick to the gut and used his weapon to shoot electricity at Xanatos. Xanatos dodged the blow and when Demona saw me she smirked evilly. She then fired the weapon and as the electricity hit me I roared out in pain. Being half dragon had it's advantages but being electrocuted hurt like a bitch.
Once the electricity faded my eyes glowed and I roared a challange at Demona. But before she could strike the older man threw himself upon her and Xanatos headed to the computer. I flew into the broken floor below and I found Demona duking it out with her opponent.
"Stop this madness!" Goliath demanded grabbing hold of the human and female gargoyle. Both of them punched Goliath and my mate was thrown backwards. I walked over to my Beloved of Night and nudged his face with my snout. Goliath reassured me by stroking my snout and stood back up. Xanatos fired a laser at Demona and her foe. They both fell over and avoided being fried.
"You're not the only ones with weapons laddie"
The man had a Scottish accent and threw down a grenade. The damn thing exploded and the floor got destroyed making everyone fall to another floor. Goliath was able to help Xanatos land safely and I was already back on all fours. Up ahead the old man held Demona in his arms bridal style.
"No killing her won't solve anything!" Goliath shouted. "Death never does"
"He's right Macbeth" came a feminine voice. The old man turned and my eyes widened to see three females and they radiated the same magic from the stone statues of the little girls the night before. The three woman then turned into old hags and I had a feeling this three were the Weird Sisters from Shakespeare Play "Macbeth".
Macbeth backed away and placed Demona down just as the Weird Sisters approached him. A second later after using their magic Macbeth fell asleep. They then awakened Demona and after a brief rant about vengeance she told Xanatos the access code he needed. The billionaire headed to the computer on the upper floor and my eyes went wide as the Weird Sisters turned into children. Demona then shook her head before she finally realized what was going on.
"You tricked me!" her eyes glowed red in annoyance. "You had me under a spell!"
I rolled my eyes as the female gargoyle went on with her rant the black and blonde sisters came over to Demona grabbing hold of her wrists. Demona struggled to get free but the white haired sister approached and waved her hand in front of the female gargoyle making her fall asleep. Demona fell to the floor and soon was fast asleep. The sisters then surrounded Demona and Macbeth and after a flash of light they were gone.
A short while later everyone regrouped on the castle roof and we watched the night sky. One by one the robots were destroyed as the bombs went off. Noah and I then unleashed our flames as the sky began to light ablaze. It was truly an amazing sight and it wasn't long until Noah rushed inside. We followed and my brother was hugging Elisa who was now back to her regular self.
Later.
"Are you alright my love you're nervous about something" Goliath asked me. We were back at my apartment and I was tired.
"Just tired my Beloved of Night" I reassured my mate. "I did actually want to speak with you about our child"
"Are you pregnant?" Goliath asked.
"No you silly thing!" I scolded the gargoyle giving his arm a smack. "I had my fertility results today and the next time I go into heat will be my best chance to conceive"
"That pleases me" Goliath said. He came over and kissed my forehead. "As long as you're healthy enough to carry my child reassures me, but how long does a dragon female carry the child?"
"Nine months and the birth won't be easy, when I do conceive our child he or she will not only possess dragon and human blood, but a gargoyle's as well"
"You're strong enough to give life to our child my Warrior of Flame" Goliath purred and he brought me into a hug as well as wrapping his wings around me. "You've always were strong"
I blushed and growled for Goliath to kiss me. He obeyed and took my lips into his.
