I was getting ready for bed closing my computer when I noticed a notification of this chapter! Lol I made coffee and stayed up till 1:30am to read it. No way I could go to bed knowing it was there lol
I only have a precious few stories I would give up sleep for. Thank you for posting, I am looking forward to the next chapter.
First off, wonderful to see you again. Absolutely love the story.
Some thoughts... This was actually Ethan's first time. And it makes so much sense, with it being a story, and within the world of the story as well. Until Beth wielding Aharown freed him from the curse, the Dragon was the only one present. And what an awful, powerful curse to be under. It will be better now. When somehow she's able to return, for them to be together again, unshackled by the burdens placed upon them. The block for Ethan, as well as a great deal of his past and near present. As well as Beth's own upbringing for herself. Had things not been so dire as to go where they went, she was already beginning to walk towards that path herself. With Gabriella to guide her, it allowed her to find more of her true self. And speaking of guides, holy moly does this chapter have loads of them. I had a flare of confusion when I first read the second flight scene because I was so sure it was going to be one of those, "I must try." sort of scenarios. But then there was that next 'page' where there was someone willing and able to really Talk. A stranger, with no vested intrest, a 'professional' that can be trusted to know what they're talking about. That's therapy right there. That's amazing for the people that it can help, the ones that need it, and are willing to work it to have it work.
So much more of course. ~She wants to watch. ~Just bump into someone. ~"You'll what?" and "-a long time... a long time." That last one especially, could mean a bunch of things. Even the most mundane of which is still another connection between everyone. A connection that should help make everyone stronger, and better equipped to deal with the oncoming storm. Right now, and I do say so without malice, I'm waiting to find out who kills a woman. Because there's the 'obvious' answer, and it works perfectly fine and beautifully. But until it actually happens, anything could. And its not like it would necessarily have to change the path everyone would walk on. Nor interfere in that lovely third tag that this story is building so properly. A true friend can be far more important than the 'love of your life', in certain aspects. Safety and trust are so... Important.
Thank you again for your submission (and for hers ^.^). Sorry, making myself blush. Looking forward to the next one. Take as long as the story needs, something only you'll know. Be well ^.^
Just had to pass on my thanks for your hard work. I find very few good multi chapter stories that I can get interested in. Keep writing and I will keep reading.
Also, it's great to hear that you will be releasing a chapter every month. Love this series. Keep writing.
I love how you keep me guessing I love fantasy stories but things start to be predictable your this is better just don't drown us in his herm.
I have been a lit reader for 17 years now and I'm mostly jaded about sex scene. But yours was out of this world. One in a million.
And it it raises your story from a good story to a great one.
I only found this series about a week ago but iv already blown through all 11 chapters.
I just had to say this is an amazing series and its great to see a story that builds its characters without just blindly throwing random sex scenes in when its not needed. But dont get me wrong, when the sex scenes come in, they are hot and really erotic, its a perfect combination of story telling and sex scenes. Its not overly saturated with sex like the other 90% of stories here. Love it and keep up the good work.

Please go beyond chapter 12 far far beyond if possible or one he'll of a great end
Intrigued I am... as always the demand for plot exceeds the supply in the sci-fi / fantasy portion of Lit.
Antiproton,
Thank you again for another wonderful chapter. A Dragon's Tale is honestly up there in the pantheon of excellent harem/adventure stories. A good, albeit flawed man who despite his own troubles tries to shine his light as best he can. Beautiful, intelligent, capable, and kind women who give as much of themselves to the hero as he gives to them (and subby, I have to admit I love slightly subby women!). And vast hurdles to overcome, that without one another they'd surely never make it (and despite all the reasons to become resentful, bitter, and vengeful... help each other better themselves and the world around them).
It's all there in a great fantasy package. *chef kiss* It's been a joy to read.
Is there a Patreon or anything that you're a part of that we should know about? 1. This quality and commitment (I highly commend you for your stance on completing a journey once it's started!) should be properly supported and 2. Maybe some extra income can be an incentive to see more of this adventure! (this last one is purely selfishness on my part, I just want more!)
Anyways, thank you for your wonderful story. I'm honestly rooting for so many characters in this story that it's a doozy. Keep up the amazing work, and have a lovely week.
This series has my mind running all over the place,
My imagination is watering at the seams from all you write.
Thankyou 5*++
"It didn't seem prudent to confront an armed woman hell-bent on revenge without a weapon of some kind,"
As someone who has grown up with seven women I totally agree with this statement I would rather face an army then one armed vengeful women out for my head!
Sorry i didn't rate or post before, but i was on a reading spree and went on through night. Seemed a shame to stop. But this is brilliant and really do hope that you have the inspiration and perseverance to continue. As such this makes sitting in house during lockdown bearable. Please do continue and if you hapen to need any assistance in editing then i am available.
Thank you! I am totally enthralled with your story! I can't wait for more, and always enjoy your notes.
Loved it all the way up to here but this was the best. Only problem this gives me is that having given 5* up to here I can't give more.
On my second read-through...
"She had long since been reduced to a whimpering puddle of exquisite Elven beauty."
Damn.
Ethan was shot / injured crawling for Sanctuary, ... and then there was the revenge seeking Hailey who was left behind and captured for the murder of her Rat-Bastard of a former owner, ... then Ethan is getting married to Alana, ... all happening so fast, ... loving the story and its unusual twists and personalities, ... thank you for sharing, ... ;-) TTFN
Great story with many fun twists, and more dumb mistakes than one can count. You need a proof reader badly.
Good story, engaging characters, but... Its "rich as Croesus" not "rich as creases". Croesus was a rich man in greek(?) folklore.
Alana swearing to obey as part of her vows is pretty ick. Like the whole magical harem and the dragon wanting power is one thing, but the wedding vows are something the human Ethan wanted, so having her swear to obey him but not the other way around just feels kinda gross. Didn't he want Alana as a life partner and equal, not some sworn servant?
Aside from that, loving the series, thank you so much for writing.
Only caught up with this materpiece in last 24 hours. Wonderful imagination. Thankyou.
