“You're going to waste energy trying to use your command voice on me,” I teased him, but then closed my eyes.I concentrated and searched for my beast inside me.Becca was hiding very well in my subconscious; however, I managed to find her, so I carefully approached her to wake her up.Shift with me
NadineI fell asleep very quickly.The problem with that was that I didn't notice when Aris came in or out of my room, so I got up a little embarrassed. I had fiddled with him; it felt like a safe thing to do; I just didn't foresee a simple joke turning into something momentous.I understood the bon
When we got to the room, Aris placed me on the bed, then repeated what Connor did in the bathroom and prepared the tub with smelling salts. He bathed me gently, then urged me to put on boxer shorts and a bathrobe; when I lay down on the bed, the vampire had a warm cream in his hand.“What are you do
NadineWhatever was keeping Connor busy lasted a couple more days.He didn't return to the shelter and that prompted Drago to help me with the exercises.The interaction of my she-wolf and the dragon was one to study.Becca was licking the dragon's scales while he burned anything she wanted just to
“It's your mate; at some point you will give in to the bond, and when that happens, she will become the Luna of our pack, so don't be obtuse and have a conversation with her. Tell her what's going on with the council. Tomorrow's is a formal call; if she could go with you, it would be easier for ever
With those words, I went upstairs to the bedroom and locked the door behind me.I wanted to be alone.I knew that, if anyone came near me, I was going to break, so I went to sleep.I didn't expect that, when I woke up, Rose would be sitting across from me with a frown on her face.“If we're talking
ConnorThe moment I saw how Ophelia saw Nadine, I knew I was in trouble.I was proud to introduce my mate to the world; I could shout it from the rooftops if it was that easy to do; however, Nadine had an important mission so we had to be careful.The reality was that with Ophelia knowing about Nadi
“If being a peace officer means beating everyone to a pulp to get them to calm down, then you are,” Aaron said. “You're also an inveterate seductress of women and that makes for extra trouble.”“It's not all my fault,” Inna said defensively.Nadine just watched her with a smile and couldn't imagine
I smiled at the mark, and at that moment I knew I would be happy, no matter what.We went to a small party at my parents' house and celebrated with all our friends. Elle wasted no time in dancing with the guardians and having fun as she knew how to do.At that moment I knew everything was going to b
“Loving you was as easy as breathing, wanting you is vital, but having you by my side is the best thing that would ever happen to me, and that's why I want to make it official,” Connor said so sweetly, and I had to hold back the hiccups.“I never thought you would exist. In my time walking the earth
NadineSix months had passed since a momentous change in Xalaris.After that meeting, there was a great assembly that was televised to the whole world, and the gods decided to bow to me and my mates as a sign of respect. In my father's humble words, just because I am not the goddess of the gods, tha
“It really doesn't work the way it should work,” my father said without letting the elf finish speaking, and he opened the box he had gotten Biel. “The Anarkhia Order has been an imminent danger. We were able to take away the source of their strength, but they still move among us.”My father took th
We hurried, and Drago teleported us to the temple. We left the hunter along with Alex and Rex, who had moved with the guards and my father.“Go at once,” Rex said imperatively and I knew the attack had been serious.We all left without my mother.Aris looked very anxious, so Drago hurried and when w
NadineMy first instinct was to run toward the explosion in search of my mates.It was only the fact that I hadn't felt pain again that didn't make me react immediately. My fear was so strong that I instantly dug inside myself to pull at the link that connected me to them, and even though I knew tha
I looked at Drago in surprise.“How did that hunter end up here?” asked Connor.“His adoptive mother was a dragon, and he knew all the terrain,” Aris said. “He feels safe in this place because he knows dragons don't usually frequent it, so he created a subway cave. We need to inform the dragon counc
“Are you all right?” asked I. “Is something wrong?”She denied it but then smiled at us.“I'd like to thank you,” the girl said, and I raised my eyebrows in surprise. “You guys sacrificed yourselves to save us all, and I'm very happy to still be alive. I'm sure you won't remember, but for all of us,
NadineThe five days of non-aggression were over.We were all summoned to the Temple by the gods, and we were not to miss it.Aris, my mother, and I changed our clothes in a hurry when Drago came to pick us up. We were both nervous because of the situation. We didn't know what had happened, and we h
