DESCRIPTION OF THE REALM OF DREADOR
Dreador is a mystical world inhabited by witches, wizards, dragons, and werewolves. Every century, a king is chosen from each part of the realm: the Head Sorcerer, the Dragon King, and the Alpha King of the Blood Moon Pack.
Although these mystical creatures can travel to the human realm through a portal, they are only allowed to do so for a limited period.
The Alpha King is the leader of the Blood Moon Pack, the Head Sorcerer is the leader of the Dyla coven, and the Dragon King is the head of the Volcano den. These three leaders have the responsibility of protecting the realm of Dreador at all costs and ensuring the safety of their people. The Moon Goddess, the Eternal Dragon, and the Sorcerer Supreme choose these leaders carefully, recognizing the enormity of their task.
CHAPTER 1- Bethany
I slammed my head against the desk once again, trying to comprehend the paperwork sitting in front of me. It was a daunting task, and I was struggling to keep up with the pace. As expected, I hated my job, but it was a necessary evil. I had no choice but to stick with it if I wanted to make ends meet.
As I sat there, lost in my thoughts, I heard faint footsteps approaching. I looked up to see my closest colleague, Claudia, walking towards me. I preferred to keep to myself and distance myself from others because I didn't want any unnecessary drama. However, Claudia was different.
"Hey," I greeted her.
"You look miserable," she laughed.
I gave her a small smile, but before I could respond, she asked, "Are you up for an outing tonight?"
I was about to decline, but she interrupted me before I could get a word out. "Great, see you at 8 o'clock. I'll send you the address. Dress nice," she said with a smile and walked away.
I looked back at the paperwork, realizing that I did need a break. I was looking forward to the upcoming outing, something I normally wouldn't have consented to.
After work on Fridays, I always enjoyed walking home. The thirty-minute walk back to my apartment complex was peaceful and serene, with breathtaking views of the stunning environment. It allowed me to be alone with my thoughts, which I valued since I was alone most of the time.
As I opened the door to my apartment, I received a text from Claudia that read, "Sky High Club. Be there early and dress to impress." I rolled my eyes at the last statement and made my way inside. It was only six o'clock, which meant I had two hours to get ready. I decided to take a nap first, as my after-work naps were crucial.
I woke up feeling refreshed and energized, ready to take on the night ahead. After taking a shower, I put on my best dress. It was a glittery black dress with a plunging neckline and an open back. I had bought it a year ago, but never really had a chance to wear it anywhere fun. As I looked into the mirror, I saw a petite curvy woman staring back at me. I wondered if my body did the dress justice, but I pushed those thoughts aside. I put on some silver heels and headed out to meet Claudia at the Sky High Club, which was a trendy and upscale club known for its luxurious atmosphere and high-end clientele.
As I walked in, I was immediately struck by the glitz and glamour of the place. The music was loud and the lights were flashing, creating an electric atmosphere that was both exhilarating and overwhelming. Claudia was already there, sitting at the bar, sipping on a martini.
"Hey!" she said, giving me a warm smile.
"Hey," I replied, feeling a little out of place.
"Don't worry. You look great," she said, giving me a reassuring smile.
"Thanks," I replied. "So, what are we doing here today?"
She gave me a look that said I should read the room, and I responded with an awkward smile. As I looked around, I saw people dancing and grinding their bodies against each other. I began to question my decision to come here. It was not my scene at all.
Claudia asked, "So, what do you want to drink?"
"I don't drink, Claudia," I replied.
But she insisted, "Tonight you will. Bartender, two 'Sex on the Beach,' please."
After five glasses of liquor, we were partying hard, dancing amidst the sweaty bodies.
Someone tapped my shoulder lightly, and I looked up to see a pair of intense eyes staring at me.
"May I dance with you?" the stranger asked.
I looked up at the stranger, taken aback by his good looks. He had intense dark eyes and dark hair that was styled in a messy yet attractive way. He was dressed in a black suit that showed off his broad shoulders and muscular build. I hesitated for a moment, not sure if I wanted to dance with a stranger. But before I could respond, Claudia nudged me and whispered, "Go for it, girl!"
I smiled nervously at the stranger and said "Yeah, I mean if you'd like that".
He took my hand and led me to the dance floor. As we began to dance, I could feel the heat emanating from his body. He held me close, his hands on my waist, and I could feel my heart racing. I had never felt so alive before.
We danced for what felt like hours, lost in the music and the moment. As the night wore on, the stranger and I grew closer, our bodies moving in perfect synchronization. I felt a connection with him. It was as if I was on cloud nine.
He pressed his face against my neck and asked, "Would you like to take this somewhere more private?"
I nodded yes because something in my body compelled me to. I didn't know what I was getting myself into but I was going to have a good time while at it.
He held my hand and led me through the crowd and then outside to a black sleek car and he asked me to get into it. It felt like there was something I could trust about this stranger, so I got into the car and he drove off
