Omg guys I'm so sorry I haven't updated this fic in so damn long. Writers block was to blame but the good news this fic is back on along with "Return to the Fantasy" and other fics. Again I apologize for not updating y'all writers block is a bitch.

Serenity's POV

A month passed since the encounter with the dragon hunters and I was no closer to finding out who they were or why the man I crossed paths with looked and smelled like my mother. Things might be quiet now but those hunters would return and I feared for what they had in store.

At the moment I had just finished nursing Eden. I was glad she was sleeping through the night now because being sleep deprived while taking care of a newborn was tiring. It took a minute for me to get Eden to burp but afterward, she nuzzled her head into my chest and fell asleep. No sooner had I laid Eden down did the sun begin to set.

I went outside and waited for my Beloved of Night and the others to awaken. No sooner had the sun disappeared did the statues begin to shatter.

"Damn it I have a god-awful headache" Lexington muttered rubbing his head.

"From what? We don't get many human ailments Lex" Brooklyn teased.

"It's probably sinuses" I informed the duo.

"You're probably right maybe Fox or David might have something I can take to make it go away"

"More like you want to visit Alex" Broadway added.

Lex blushed and held up his hands proving Broadway was right. Bronx whimpered at my feet and I gave the gargoyle dog some scratches and much-needed pets before finally looking at Goliath.

"Sleep well my Beloved of Night?" as I walked up to my mate.

"As always my Warrior of Flame" he replied before he and I shared our usual kiss. Angela and I then exchanged hellos before she opened her wings and took flight. Hudson was already inside watching the television with Bronx.

"Eden is asleep so you'll have to wait to see her"

"If I tried to wake her up you would no doubt be angry with me"

"Annoyed" I corrected. "Not angry"

Goliath then frowned.

"What is troubling you, my love? I can feel your uneasiness through our bond"

"I want to know who the dragon hunters are and why they're targeting me and my family"

Demona was still in the process of finding out who the hunters were. The female gargoyle and I were civil towards one another these days. The main reason was our love for Angela. Demona was slowly trying to restore her relationship with her daughter and things looked promising.

Goliath drew me into him and he wrapped his wings around me.

"The hunters will be dealt with Serenity this I promise you"

He kissed my forehead to reassure me.

"Hey Goliath, Elisa just called she's ready" Brooklyn alerted us.

"Ooh, another sting operation?" I teased the two males arching an eyebrow.

"Yep lately there's been a string of robberies and people have been killed" Goliath explained.

At hearing that my inner dragon and I growled. I felt my eyes lighting up in anger.

"Then you two find whoever is responsible"

Seeing I was agitated Goliath placed a hand on my shoulder. My Beloved of Night and I shared a look before I eventually sighed.

"And you two be careful"

"We will Serenity" Brooklyn promised before he opened his wings and took to the sky.

Goliath kissed my forehead again before he followed after his second in command. I watched as the duo disappeared from view before heading back inside.

"You okay lass? You seem stressed" Hudson inquired as I joined him and Bronx.

"I just got a lot on my mind' I confessed to the older gargoyle as I sat down on the couch that was in front of the television.

I watched television with Hudson and Bronx until I dozed off. I eventually woke when I felt Goliath was returning through the mate bond.

"Looks like Goliath is coming back" Hudson stated when he saw me waking up.

I flashed the older gargoyle a smirk before going to check on Eden. My little one was still asleep and afterward, I headed outside. Goliath landed looking annoyed and I realized Brooklyn wasn't with him.

"What happened?"

"Brooklyn wasn't paying attention when he should have been and the robbers got away, he then took off after an argument we had, thankfully no one died tonight"

I hated seeing my fellow clan mates fighting but for now, the best thing for Brooklyn was to let him cool off.

"Is our little one still sleeping?" my Beloved of Night asked.

"She is but as long as you are quiet you can visit her"

Goliath smiled before he and I went inside.

"Oh good she's about to wake up" Puck greeted us quietly.

Having Puck around was both a blessing and a pain in the ass. Being the protective father he was Goliath growled and Puck threw his hands up before disappearing in a cloud of his limited magic.

"Sometimes I wish that male wasn't our daughter's mate" Goliath muttered.

"My love he's an extra pair of eyes and Eden needs it due to the current hunter threat"

Sure enough, as Puck predicted Eden began to whimper and Goliath immediately went to the portable crib and scooped our daughter into his arms. Eden started her usual purring at seeing her father and she latched her tiny hands onto one of his clawed fingers. My mate eventually handed Eden to me since she needed to nurse and I winced when her fangs latched on.

When she finished nursing I let Goliath take her and he patted her back until she burped.

"You're getting the hang of parenthood"

"I do my best" my mate answered.
