Read Online Seed of the Dragon: A Paranormal Dragon Shifter Romance by Serena Rose - Free Book Online Page B

shifter at a young age when they can’t control themselves yet. He could accidentally breathe fire, or touch someone and burn their flesh. Someone needs to be there for that kid before he does something he will regret for the rest of his life. Not to mention he was at the right age to shift for the very first time…
    My phone began to ring.
    “Hello?” I answered.
    “Hey, it’s Missy, I’ve got a list of addresses for you,” Missy said.
    “Thanks, just send it via text,” I said.
    “Shawn?” Missy called.
    “Yes?” I asked.
    “Don’t come back,” Missy said.
    “Pardon?”
    “They’ll kill you,” Missy explained.
    This was most likely because I failed the last mission. They thought I knew too much.
    “I got it, thanks,” I said.
    I didn’t really care that much since right now, my mind was only on one thing: making sure Rachel and Michael were okay. I hung up the phone.
    “Shawn?” a voice called.
    I looked towards a stranger.
    “Who’re you?” I asked.
    The stranger was a man in his 20’s. He was balding and wore cargo shorts and a t-shirt. He was immensely tall, towering over me.
    “Let’s talk in private,” the balding man said.
    “I’d rather not,” I said.
    “You don’t really have a choice,” the stranger said.
    “I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else,” I said.
    “Oh, I don’t think so, dragon ,” said the man.
    I made a break for it. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me away from this man. He followed behind me. I ran down a busy street and did my best not to bump into anyone, failing terribly.
    “Sorry, excuse me, sorry!” I called out as I made my way through the crowd.
    “Shawn!” the stranger called out, “run all you want, we’ll find you!”
    I kept running and paid the bald stranger’s words no heed. I needed to get out of there as fast as I could. I turned around the corner and hid in a bush. I held my breath as the stranger ran past me towards the direction he assumed I had gone. After he turned down a different street, I let my breath go.
    I sighed and sat in the bush for a moment while checking my phone. I needed to start checking the addresses Missy sent. I could probably rule out any outside of London for now, since I should finish up here before moving on elsewhere. I scrolled through the London addresses and whistled. There were only three in the vicinity of where I was. I should be checking those first.
    I got up and dusted off my jeans. I began to walk towards where the first address should be, according my map. It was in a suburban area with houses and belonged to Rachel’s aunt. I jogged down the street taking in the sights of such wonderfully kept houses.
    I imagined what it’d be like to live in one of these with Rachel and Michael as a family. I imagined it’d be exciting to learn her habits; maybe she snores? Maybe she likes to do dishes but not cook. It would be nice to go back to a normal life like I had with my parents before they… well it’s all over now.
    I arrived at the first address Missy had sent. It was a nice bungalow with a beautiful garden in the front. I walked up and went around to the back. There, I fiddled with the lock before it clicked open.
    “Is someone there?” called out a feminine voice.
    I froze in place. I didn’t expect to be caught. What should I say?
    “We need to go,” I explained as the woman rounded the corner and faced me.
    It was Rachel. She had aged but she was still just as beautiful as she was in that blue dress. Right now, she wore jeans and a tank top, along with some jewellery around her neck.
    “Shawn?” she said after a moment, recognizing me.
    “Yes,” I said.
    “It’s you… I…”
     
     

CHAPTER SIX
     
     
    “Rachel”
    There he was, in front of me. He was wearing dress shoes, jeans and a well fitted t-shirt. I felt my mouth water as want built up in my body.
    “What are you doing here?” I asked. I never expected to see Shawn ever again.
    “Mommy?” Michael called
