Dragon Lust

Dragon Lust by Kelly Armenta
My name is Lexi Helyanwe and I am a Dragon. Well actually I am part Dragon, part Elf, with twist of Lust Demon thrown in. I too was bioengineered by my parents, whose goal is to save the Dragon race and maybe the Elves, too. Of course if that secret gets out it’s likely I’ll end up sliced and diced on a stainless steel table in some underground lab. My Father somehow managed to break the DNA code and engineer ten male Dragons and little ol’ me. Not great odds when your goal is to save an entire race, but someone had killed his partners and trashed his lab. He’d had no choice but to go into hiding, which ultimately prevented any more experimentation. Lucky for me no one knew that Mom had been inseminated and I was already on a path that would lead me to this room some twenty five years later.
Up until recently I’d managed to live a quiet life in which I was a mild mannered manual writer during the day. However, my nights were a different matter entirely. During the wee hours of the night I liked to skip through the highways and byways of the seedy part of town, working to ensure decent folk were safe from the local non-human underbelly inhabiting San Francisco. This just happened to be one of the reasons why at this exact moment I was sitting in the conference room surrounded by the heads of the most prominent non-human crime organizations. Of course none of them know I’m the one they’re looking for, except of course Jace and Gareth. But then , it was their conference room and their meeting.

My name is Lexi Helyanwe. Less than a week ago I had been living a normal boring life, basically hiding in plain sight. Then one night I ventured out for a little fun. Fortune smiled and I discovered Gareth Blue and Jace Green, my sweeties who are shape shifting Dragons, much like me. Now my life has turned completely upside down. I’ve lost my innocence, my job, and all things boring have been transformed. I’ve taken up cohabitation with Gareth and Jace, been to Hell and back… literally, acquired an Elf, a half Goblin, a Minor God, and my very own Lust Demon. Not a bad week, all in all. I also slipped up and made the front page when my status as a Princess of Faerie was exposed. I can tell you that hadn’t made my Mom happy! She yelled at me, I yelled back and she’d gone off in a huff to see about getting the Queen to unlock the Sidhee doors. If she succeeds, it will be the first time Faerie has been accessible in over half a century!

Two and a half decades before my DNA was mixed in a test tube, a deadly virus spread across America killing a good portion of the human population. The resulting death toll brought the rest of our non-human brethren out of the closet, so to speak. Now I’m awakening to my powers and am destined to save my race.
