Chapter 1: Who is He?

Ryder

My pulse was racing, my breathing was rapid, but I could do this all day. Nothing is a challenge for me anymore. I ducked as a fist aiming for my face barely grazed the side of my head. That's only because I am becoming bored with all of this, he wouldn't have touched me otherwise.

"Ryder, get your head in the game. Luca has almost landed a blow to your face twice now!" My dad shouted over the growing crowd.

I glowered at my father but decided to get a little more serious so he would back off. I caught Basil's kick, spinning him in a way that caused him to land hard on his back. I turned fast before Luca could catch me with my back facing him. I trained my eyes on him. Luca attempted to land a right elbow strike then an uppercut. He moved quickly, and with ease, reflecting the skill of a trained killer. I could see the determination on his face as he hoped to successfully knock me out. It would be his first time. His attempt was unproductive. I positioned myself for a double leg takedown, then made my move. Once he was on the ground, I straddled him. Luca never had a chance as I finished him, delivering a jab to the neck that momentarily constricted blood flow effectively causing him to black out.

"It's all you now, Basil." Cam, my dad's second in command yelled.

He was trying to pump Basil up so he would keep fighting. Cam was feeding him encouraging words which will ultimately end with him lying next to Luca. Deciding to get this training session over with, I approached an exhausted Basil. He held up his hands in submission.

"Sorry, I can't continue. I'm beat, my entire body is aching."

All my attention was on Basil when out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a blue fist of fire headed straight toward my face.

"Damn it, Dad!"

I blocked his fist with my forearm, then landed my own blow to his ribs. I quickly followed up with a kick to his head, sending him tumbling to the ground. I didn't knock my dad out, and I wasn't trying to. He is a strong fighter. One of the only trainers that could get a hit on me. The other one being my mom. That woman can fight, and she doesn't pull any punches just because I am her son. My Mother is the first born Lycan. She was born from the Harmony Moon pack and is expected to take over the pack in the upcoming days. She is the next alpha in line to lead them. Additionally, all other alphas will rank beneath her as their Lycan Queen. There is no lack of power or skill when it comes to my mother. I can't fight her though. I use only offensive moves to deflect her attacks on me. I can't stand the thought of hurting her.

"Well King Brax, it looks like this session is over." Cam announced. He walked over and took my father's hand, helping him up off the ground. Cam took a deep breath and placed both hands on his hips. "There's no one left in this entire kingdom that can defeat him, Brax." Cam said in a low tone. "We could double up on the number of opponents at one time, but I don't think that would benefit him in any way. The last time we placed ten opponents against Ryder, the match was over in less than three minutes. Not one of them could land even a single blow. Some of them were graduated guards who finished their training years ago, and Ryder took them down without killing them." Cam shook his head, not knowing what else to do. "Besides, if he can take down the king of the dragons, there is no hope in finding any other being to face him. Not one that could win anyway." Cam pursed his lips.

"I was going easy on him. He is my son after all." My father spoke with a hint of amusement on his face.

Luca groaned as he got to his feet. He finally woke up from his nap.

"Pardon my French King, but you're a damn liar." Luca held his head.

I am sure he had a headache after his brain went a moment without blood flow. My father laughed at Luca and smacked him on the back.

"How would you know? You were asleep." My father teased him. "Ahh... You're right, I never go easy on Ryder. It doesn't help him any if the training sessions are not a challenge. I can say that my son has exceeded my every expectation. I don't want to get complacent though, Ryder. That's the biggest mistake you can make. Never underestimate your opponent, remember that."

My father looked at me with pride in his eyes.

"Thanks dad. Don't worry, I won't let the fact that I just kicked your ass go to my head." I said.

Dad let out a loud laugh and patted me on my shoulder. If it wasn't for my dad, I wouldn't have been the accomplished fighter I am today. He was always pushing me to improve my technique and was consistent with my training. Also, who better to train with than the dragon king himself?

My father Brax Layden is the Dragon King of the mythical lands where we live right now, plus the dragon kingdoms of the North, South, East, and West answer to him. We are located in the center of all of them. I can't imagine the weight of all the responsibilities that my parent's carry on their shoulders. It's a responsibility that I will inherit one day, and I'll be ready for it. I plan to consolidate the kingdom and the pack, moving everyone into one location. Dragons, Werewolves, and Lycans will live together as one family... as one pack. Our entire settlement will be here, in the Mythical Lands. There are no humans here. We are on earth, but there is a veil that hides us from mortals. Only supernatural beings are able to cross through the veil. I will grow our already thriving societies into an impenetrable force, never to be trifled with.

Sweat dripped down from my face then slid down my torso. I walked over to a bench where I kept my gym towel and water bottle. I lifted my water and poured it over my head. The cool liquid was an instant relief from the heat of the fight. I shook out my hair, then reached for my towel. I wiped the water and sweat from my face, neck, and chest.

Glancing over, I acknowledged some females who have been gawking at me this entire time. I gave them a cheeky smile and a wave. I heard their sharp intake of breath then they giggled at the attention I had given them. I laughed to myself. This is nothing new. There's always a crowd of girls ready to fight for my attention. I can't say that I have saved myself for my mate. I have had my fair share of fun, but none of them call to me on a deeper level. I am starting to think more about my mate these days. I am beginning to feel desperate for that legendary connection with someone who is the lost part of me. She's my soulmate, and she's out there somewhere. I haven't been intimate with a female in a while. Thinking about how long it has been reminds me of how bad I need to get laid. Yes, I want my mate, but I am still part Lycan. Our drive to mate is unlike all the other species. Likewise, I am sexually frustrated. I'm done with the females here in the kingdom. Being with one of them will stir up another shit storm that I don't plan on walking through. I'll make things easier on myself this time and visit the city outside of the Mythical Lands. It's through the veil, but I don't care. Most of the creatures here fear crossing through the veil, but I don't. In fact, I spend most of my time amidst the humans. Most of them have no idea that supernatural creatures walk among them.

The thought of getting some action in the bedroom tonight has my manhood hardening in my pants. I pick up my stuff, throw my towel over my shoulder, and start toward the showers. I look up to see my mother walking toward me. Great, the last thing I want my mom to see is my raging hard on. I attempt to discreetly cover myself. Fuck, she stopped to talk to me.

"Good evening, Ryder. Did you have a beneficial training session?"

Diverting my eyes, while holding my towel over my bulging cock, I answered her.

"Ugh... yeah, sure. It was great, I'm headed to the showers now."

"That's great honey. Your father says no one is able to touch you in the ring." She leans in to give me a hug. I quickly step away from her. "What? Are you too old to give me a hug now?"

I tried to think of something off the top of my head, but I stumbled over my words.

"No, Mom. Not too old, just sweaty." She looked at me and grimaced. Before she could glimpse my erection, which was finally starting to calm down, I turned my back to her pretending to call for Luca. "Hey, Luca! Meet me in the dining hall after the showers!" I shouted.

"Yeah, yeah! After this headache you gave me goes away, you asshole!" I snickered.

My mother patted me on my shoulder.

"Alright, I'll let you get cleaned up. Where's your father?" She questioned.

"Oh... He was over by the ring a moment ago."

My Mother nodded and walked away in search of my father. Relieved to finally make it to the showers, I took off my training shorts and tossed them into my gym bag. I turned on the shower and stepped under the flow of the stream. I like my showers cold after a training session. It re-energizes me.

After my shower, I get dressed in the change of clothes that I packed in my gym bag. A royal blue shirt that fits tight over my chest, and a pair of casual jeans. I attempt to comb my fingers through my black hair. I get my dark hair from my mother and father both. My sharp cheekbones and naturally tan skin I get from my father. I'm not a short guy, in fact I am around six foot three inches tall. I have broad shoulders and a slim chiseled waist. The girls say I'm built like a God, but I don't care about all that shit. I focus on training, getting stronger and better. My people need a strong leader, and I plan to be the leader that they deserve.

Happy with my appearance, I made my way to the castle dining hall. I wonder if Luca has made it there yet. If not, I'll grab a quick snack before heading out. All I am focused on is the thought of a hot female body pressed up against me. Before my dick gets hard again, I push that thought aside. Damn, I'm a fucking mess right now. I have never gone this long without sex. I'll be glad when this night gets started.

Chapter 2: I Need Relief

Ryder

"What are you wanting to get into tonight anyway?" Luca said while shoveling a spoonful of oatmeal into his mouth. I looked at him in disgust.

"Is that oatmeal? It's dinner time." I hate oatmeal, no matter what time of the day it is.

"Mind your business." Luca shoved another spoonful of oatmeal in his mouth. I couldn't help but to roll my eyes. I sighed.

"I don't know, man. Let's just go for a ride and see where we end up." I answered Luca's question from earlier.

"You want to head toward the city?" Luca questioned.

The mythical lands have no blacktop within miles. Even outside the veil you have to travel at least twenty miles on overgrown dirt roads to make it to the nearest main road.

"Yeah, I have to get out of here for a while. I feel like I am suffocating."

Luca turned his bowl up to his mouth, finishing off the last of his oatmeal. I held back a gag. Turning my back to Luca, I headed to the closest exit from the dining room. Luca scrambled to catch up.

"Damn, someone is in a hurry. I told you to just catch one of those girls that is always trying to get your attention. I don't think they would mind satisfying you. Hell, the way they act, I bet it would be a dream come true."

Hell no. That shit will never happen again.

"You know why. I'm not getting in the middle of another fight between jealous females just because I am sexually frustrated." Luca laughed out loud.

I remembered all too well what happened that day.

"Man, that was the greatest. I'll never forget watching you get clocked in the side of the head by Mira by accident, while standing in between her and Kyra. Those two females were having it out over you man. The look on your face was priceless. Especially when Kyra tried to pull Mira's hair but got yours instead. She jerked you straight to the ground."

Luca was laughing so hard tears were streaming down his face.

"Yeah, yeah, you asshole. Fucking let it go already, damn." I said. I am getting tired of everyone always bringing it up. It was that day that I decided to take care of my manly needs anywhere else but the mythical lands. "If you don't stop bringing that shit up, I am going to tell them both that you're interested in a good time." I laughed at my idea of getting back at Luca for always teasing me about the two girls. "What would you do if Mira showed up at your room, ready to get it on, then get surprised when she notices Kyra was there for the same thing?"

I raised a brow and looked him straight in his eyes. It was a silent promise. If Luca kept up his teasing, I wouldn't hesitate to follow through with my threat. Luca's face paled. Then he picked up his pace, speed walking toward the area behind the castle. There's a section that is used as a flight deck, for incoming and outgoing dragons. It's big enough to allow dragons to shift without concern of damaging something or getting hurt.

"Nah, nah... I want none of that ass. It's not even worth it." I grinned. I knew exactly how to shut Luca up. "Let's just stay away from humans. I heard some of those females have something called syphilis." Arriving on the field, they prepared to shift.

"You know that dragons can't get a sexually transmitted diseases, right?" Luca pinned his gaze on me. Trying to read my expression.

"So, you're telling me that you would be okay diving headfirst into a human female that has syphilis. I didn't know you were that desperate." I shook my head at Luca's question.

"Fuck no! I was just trying to educate you a little. I worry about your ability to function sometimes."

I slapped Luca on the back and stepped away from him.

"So, what are you saying?" Luca questioned.

Sincere confusion covered his features. I laughed but didn't look back at Luca as I spoke.

"You will figure it out." Maybe, I said under my breath. I appreciate my closest friend. We grew up together and I would do anything for Luca. Luca wasn't dumb, but some things flew over his head. I decided to change the subject. "So, what type of female do you prefer then, if not human?" I asked Luca. "I assume you wanted to revisit that sexy female ogre that almost crushed you the last time."

I thought I would bring up one of Luca's more embarrassing moments, since he never hesitated to bring up mine. Luca became strangled. He patted his own chest as he tried to cough to clear his lungs. With a red face and watering eyes Luca finally spoke with a strained voice.

"You don't think she will be there, do you?" Fear overwhelming his features.

You could tell exactly what Luca was feeling just by the look on his face. I laughed.

"Man, I don't even know where we are going. I was just messing with you, though I noticed you checking out her oversized hoop nose ring." I continued to tease.

"Dude, shut the fuck up. I can't get the image of her pierced nipples out of my head!" Luca ran his hands down his face.

"How do you know that? I thought you ran from her."

"Dude, I tried to run, and she caught me by the back of my shirt and jerked me back. Her damn tongue was hanging out of her mouth as she jerked her shirt up. One of her tits bounced and nearly knocked me out, I was seeing stars, Ryder! You don't want to be flashed by an Ogre, believe me. Her nipples..." Luca paused as if remembering something. "Ogres are not my thing." Luca exclaimed.

"What? You could always use that nose ring for leverage, or just to hang on." I said, waiting for Luca's retort. His visibility shook all over, then looked at me as if he couldn't believe I had just said that. I laughed out loud. "What's wrong, Luca? Oh, you're thinking about it, aren't you?" I continued to tease him.

His brows pressed together, and his top lip raised up on one side, as if he was disgusted.

"I wish I could kick your ass."

I was out of breath from laughing so hard. I braced myself, putting both palms on my knees. I laughed till my ribs hurt. I am usually not one to sling jokes or tease, but Luca asked for it.

"Then what race are you into then?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"Ahh..." Luca looked up as if in deep lust filled thought. "I like me a hot little witch."

"Why though? I expect they would be the type to tie a man to a bed and never let them go." I said.

"Oh, you have no idea. Some of those little babies can turn into anything."

My head snapped toward Luca, horrified at the images now flashing through my head.

"What the fuck? I didn't even want to know that Luca, damn!"

"You're the one who asked, and don't knock it till you've tried it."

I shivered at the thought of what Luca just said, and it wasn't the good kind of shivers.

"You're crazy as hell if you think there's a possibility of me ever being interested in anything like that." I told him.

"Well, what's your type anyway, Fae?" Luca asked me.

"I don't know man. I really don't care as long as they have a human form, they aren't a strange color, they don't have tusks, and their eyes aren't straight black." I answered him.

"Ah... Exotic." Luca said with a smirk on his face.

"Shut up Luca! Your horny ass would fuck any female. Even if she was one of those strange new races with the mini heads and huge bodies." Luca bent over laughing.

"Well... if she has a nice rack, maybe." Luca admitted. "Ain't no shame in my game." Luca said.

"You can say that all you want, but it doesn't make it true." I said.

Stepping back again, I prepared to shift.

Chapter 3: Thirsty

Ryder

Luca didn't seem to take a breath while loosely sharing his strange fantasies in the bedroom. I managed to block him out, nodding my head every now and then so he would think I was still listening. Relieved to finally make it to the security gates of the storage facility I scanned my key card and the metal gates automatically opened. I chose this facility to store my bike because security is a top priority here. I sped up my pace to a fast walk. Adrenaline was already coursing through my veins with anticipation of the ride. Damn, it has been too long, I couldn't wait to turn the throttle and feel the power of my bike beneath me. There's something about riding that calms me. It's like no other feeling in the world. I must take my love of riding back after my father and grandfather. I have heard the same stories from both of them one hundred times over. Security lights illuminated our way as we walked toward our storage unit. The crunching of gravel sounded beneath my feet, and the familiar smell of nearby fast-food restaurants scented the air around us. This town comes alive at night. Echoes of dogs barking, police sirens, and loud talking was a constant here. Being a Lycan, dragon hybrid, I could hear the thumping of the loud music from the most popular night club on the other side of town. I smiled knowing that was my destination. Crowds of humans, fairies, vampires, and other types of mythical beings go there to socialize, and I am one of them. Booz, dancing, and... girls had me coming back for more. Key in hand I unlocked our unit. Using both hands I began to lift the metal door. Dim yellow light slid up the wall of the unit as the door raised. Lights reflected off the smooth shiny surface of my prized possession. My YZF - R1 passed down to me by my father. With nine hundred ninety-eight cc's this baby was the envy of any rider's dream. I didn't change a thing, I kept it exactly the way my dad had it when he was around my age. This bike was a sleek custom ghost silver to gray color depending on the lighting, with custom graphics that looked like scales all over. With a shit eating grin on my face, I stepped into the unit eager to hear the rumble of the engine.

"What do you think about that, dude?"

Like a radio, the volume of Luca's voice gradually seeped back into my mind pulling me from my personal daze. I hadn't heard a single word since, Ah... I can't remember.

"Ugh... yeah, whatever, man." I shrug my shoulders having no clue what I was agreeing to.

Knowing Luca that could be a bad idea, but tonight I'm not worrying about anything.

Like a child given a shiny new toy, Luca stepped over to his bike and gave it a pathetic little hug. I roll my eyes. Luca is the absolute worst wingman when it comes to picking up girls, but he's all I got. I take a deep breath and sigh. I love the stupid blockhead though. I am grateful to have him no matter how much a pain in my ass he can be. Regardless of how much he embarrasses me, I know he's got my back, just as I have his.

"Yeah baby, let's get it! Damn it Ryder, I never thought you would have it in you. Shit yeah, this is going to be a night to remember!"

I begin to walk my bike out of the storage unit with a slow roll, careful not to run my bike into anything when I do so. What Luca said just now has me a little confused. Apparently, this is something I have never done before, and Judging by his level of excitement, I feel a little scared. I decided to let it go. Whatever it is, it can't be that bad, right? I slide my riding gloves over my hands and pull my helmet over my head. The snap from the latch secures it in place. I'm a hybrid and none of this riding gear is needed, but road rash hurts like a bitch. Tonight, I want none of that. Plus, I try to be inconspicuous to the humans who still have no idea that paranormal beings exist.

I throw my leg over, position myself and start my bike. I have a shit eating grin on my face when my baby purrs to life. Luca starts pulling up in front of me, eager to get on the pavement. He revved his engine, and the ear-piercing sound bounces off the storage units lining both sides of us. We are careful not to get loose when rolling over the gravel, there's no way I am risking the chance of laying my bike over. Not only is she the sexiest machine on the road, but she means a lot to me. It's a piece of my father and grandfather that I could never get back. Pulling up to the blacktop, adrenaline pulses through my veins. Unable to resist I turn to Luca and yell over the noise,

"Let's wake em' up!" I yelled.

Luca grins at me, knowing the look on my face all too well. Stomping my gear shifter, I hit neutral and turn my throttle. Like a pissed off dragon my bike roars to life, rattling the neighborhood and waking the city, letting all paranormal's know that I am here and ready to play.

"Typical Ryder, can't do anything without making his presence known." He looks at me, raising his voice over the sound of the two engines. "At least all the females will know who's coming. No doubt there will be a shit load waiting at the club when we get there."

Raising the corner of my mouth in a crooked grin, I know it never fails. When the ladies hear me coming, it makes for a very entertaining night. Luca has no complaints as he makes a show of spinning his tire, burning rubber, and throwing smoke as he peels out the driveway like a bat out of hell. He doesn't get too far ahead of me before I pass him in a blur, riding my back tire as far as the roadway will let me, only sitting it down when I have to.

"Fucking show off! You reckless asshole, I hope you swallow a bug and choke on it!"

I laugh out loud at Luca's words. I'm ready to get this night started, and I'm not ending it until a sexy female is moaning under me as I ram her over and over. With that thought I pull back harder on my throttle, eager to get to my destination. The thought of sex is getting me painfully hard. I have a thirst that I need to quench. Being the first and only Lycan, dragon hybrid. My sexual appetite is unmatched by any being ever to walk this earth, and I am ready to sate my beasts.
