Leah Chapter One
Leah Sullivan had never wanted to slap someone so bad! She sat in one of the two black leather armchairs across from her father’s large mahogany desk, and stared at her father, King Marcus. The only outward sign that she was anything other than the calm, unaffected facade she presented was a slightly raised eyebrow. She was pissed, but she would not show it. She was a dragon princess; the future queen and ruler of the Sullivan clan. She had to stay in complete control of her emotions. To show emotion is to show weakness, and a true leader must never show weakness. It leaves you too vulnerable to the enemy. Her father taught her that when she was twelve years old, and she took the lesson to heart. Right at this moment, her father was the enemy and she would not show him weakness. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly before addressing her father. “I'm sorry. I think I heard you incorrectly. Did you just say you were giving me to the Blackwell clan?” King Marcus returned her s

Shutting the office door behind her, Leah turned around and came face to face with her younger brother, Gabriel, leaning against the opposite wall. Tall, with broad shoulders and muscles on top of his muscles, Gabriel could be very intimidating when he chose to be, even more so than her father. But Leah knew that Gabriel was always there for her, and that even if she was in the wrong he would still have her back. They were very close. Leah considered Gabriel to be her best friend. She started walking down the long hall, away from her father's office, towards the stairs leading to the second floor of the house where her bedroom was located. Gabriel fell into step next to her, patiently waiting for Leah to begin talking. Leah sighed. "So, I guess you heard all of that. Huh?" Gabriel chuckled softly. "You mean the part where our father is basically pimping you out to our enemy, or the part where you and he almost came to blows?" Leah rolled her eyes. "Yeah, all of that." Gabriel wr

Climbing the stairs, she made her way to her suite of rooms. She went outside onto her balcony and climbed the scaffold to get to the roof of her family's home where a launch pad sat ready for use. Although "home" was kind of an understatement. It was more like a mansion, with several suites of rooms needed to house Leah, her father, and all four of her brothers, plus their future mates and children. That's not even including the guest suites and the staff wing. The place was huge, but Leah often felt stifled. She wanted her own place, something just big enough for her, her future mate and any children they may have. She'd prefer not to have her father and brothers breathing down her neck all the time. While she loved her family, sometimes she just needed some space. Leah stood in the center of the launch pad and closed her eyes. She reached inside herself where she knew her dragon waited, ready to be unleashed. As the first prickle of awareness began, she relaxed and let the chang

Leah looked up at the sound of the deep, masculine voice, and into a pair of the deepest blue eyes she had ever seen. The man was huge, reminding her of a lumberjack. And, when he smiled, a dimple appeared in his right cheek, eyes sparkling with mischief. Leah was tall for a woman at 5'11", but she could tell she would probably only come up to the man's broad chest. He had to be well over 6 ½’, maybe closer to 7’. She knew right away by his scent that he wasn’t a dragon. Dragons had a distinct scent, like firewood mixed with something that uniquely identifies each individual. This man did not have the scent of firewood at all. He smelled like apple pie with an underlying scent that Leah recognized as wolf. She returned the man's smile, a slight blush darkening her cheeks. "Sorry. They're just really good." The man chuckled. "Is that seat taken?" he asked, pointing to the chair next to the one Leah was occupying. Leah shook her head. "Not at all." "I'm Ray Winston." He eased his

Leah looked up in shock when she heard Ray start to growl. His blue eyes were glowing, and his fangs were sticking out beneath the snarl of his top lip. She didn't know why he was so angry. She could only assume it was on her behalf. It was kind of sweet. No one besides her father and brothers had ever stuck up for her. Being an alpha and a princess meant that she was usually the one sticking up for others. Leah reached over and placed her hand against of Ray's cheek. He turned his face into her hand, and placed a kiss against her palm. The gesture sent a tingling sensation up Leah's arm, and straight to her clit. She didn't know what it was about this man, but something inside her was telling her that he was special, and she fully agreed. Ray nuzzled her hand a little longer, then turned to stare into her eyes, shaking his head vehemently. "You are not mating with anyone except me!" Leah tried to pull her hand back, but Ray wouldn't let go. She sighed, and gave up trying to take

Ray watched as Leah flew away from him, silently willing her to turn around and come back. She didn't. It wasn't fair. He had found his mate, only for her to be taken away from him. He would fight anyone for her, but he couldn't fight her. There was nothing he could do if she wasn't willing to meet him halfway. He understood loyalty, but this was ridiculous. She was his, dammit! "Is everything okay, Alpha?" Ray turned around to see his sister and pack healer, Francesca, standing a few feet away from him, a look of concern etched across her face. His two cousins and pack betas, Dallas and Jagger, stood beside her, looking equally as concerned. Ray rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. They must have heard him standing here shouting like a crazy person. Alphas didn't do shit like that! Especially not in front of his inner circle, even if they were related. "Yeah. Everything is fine," he reassured them. None of them looked convinced, but they wouldn't push it because he was

Dallas and Jagger pulled up just as Ray and Francesca were walking up the porch steps, and they all went inside. The guys all went straight to the living room while Francesca went to the kitchen to grab a beer for everyone. Drinks in hand, they all got comfortable, Ray in his favorite large blue lounge chair situated next to the fireplace, and the others grabbing a spot on the blue extra-large three-seater sofa sitting across from the fireplace in front of the window. Ray cleared his throat and smiled sheepishly. “So, you may have already guessed, but the female dragon you all saw me making a fool over is my mate, Leah.” Dallas burst out laughing, then held his hand out to Jagger. “I told you so. Pay up, Asshole!” Jagger glared at Dallas, reached into his wallet, pulled out a twenty-dollar bill, and handed it to his younger brother. “You got lucky, ShitFace!” Dallas snatched the money from Jagger, then smacked him in the back of the head, which earned him a punch to the arm.

Ray snapped his fingers, nodded his head, and pointed his finger at Francesca. “You may be onto something.” Francesca placed her hands on her hips. “Naturally.” Dallas chuckled. “Okay, Ms. Know-it-all. What other options are there for her? I mean, if the dragon leaders couldn’t come up with a better solution, how can we?” Ray and Jagger nodded their heads in agreement. Francesca sighed in exasperation. “Because we are on the outside. This situation doesn’t directly affect us, so we can look at the situation with unbiased eyes.” She went and retook her seat on the couch next to Dallas, pushing Jagger over to give herself some room. “Okay, let’s start throwing out some ideas.” She looked at the guys. When no one volunteered any suggestions, she continued. “Okay, then I will go first. From what I have overheard about Leah, she has some younger brothers. Perhaps one of them could take her place.” Ray scratched the back of his head and frowned. “It’s a good idea, but I would figure

Three months later... The large hall at the Sullivan mansion was beautifully decorated in emerald green and white with gold accents. Francesca had helped decorate the place similarly to how she had set up for Ray and Leah’s mating ceremony. White flowers and emerald green table cloths adorned each table. The center pieces that had been used for their mating ceremony were being reused. And there were gold plated fairy lights hung around the room. Needless to say, the place looked stunning. Leah and Ray both beamed for the camera as they got their wedding pictures taken. They started with pictures by themselves, then pictures as a couple, and lastly they took pictures with friends and family. Leah’s favorites were the pictures of them with Hannah and the pictures of her father with both Hannah and Carter. She could already picture framing them and hanging them on their living room wall. The wedding ceremony had been beautiful. A part of Leah had been a little disappointed that her fam
Leah Chapter Thirty-Two
Leah sat in her old living room on the couch next to her brother Gabriel, and watched as her father played games with Hannah and Carter. She had brought the children so that her father could spend some time getting to know them. It had been a while since he had really spent time with children, so she felt it was a good idea. And the pups had so much fun riding on her dragon’s back to get there. Leah had been nervous since no one has ever rode her dragon’s back before, and she was afraid they would fall off. For that reason, it ended up taking twice as long to get there than it usually would have had she been flying alone.She took a sip of her tea and turned to look at her brother. “So... tell me what you think about everything. Are you nervous to meet your intended?”Gabriel sighed. “A little bit, I guess. I just hope she doesn’t turn out to be as bad as Theo was. I don’t think I can run away from this no that I’ve commit myself to this.”Leah chuckled. “Yeah, and I don’t think Queen
Leah Chapter Thirty-One
Marcus’s large dragon with ivory colored scales circled the pack ground a few times trying to see if he could locate his daughter, but he couldn’t. However, he did notice a tall, muscular man with dark hair standing in front of the large pack house staring at him as if waiting for something. Marcus wondered if maybe the man was Ray Winston, the alpha of the pack.He had never met Ray, but he had heard a lot of things about the man. Ray was said to be a good and fair alpha, and his pack loved him. If all that was true, then Marcus could understand why Leah had fell for him. There was nothing more attractive to his daughter than a person who loved and protected their family. Marcus lowered his dragon to the ground, shifting to his human form right before he landed.Ray had noticed the dragon circling his lands a few moments ago. He didn’t want to alarm anyone in case this was another one of Leah’s clan members coming to make sure she was okay. So he just stood and watched the dragon, wa

Marcus sat in his office seething with rage. He was meeting with Queen Dominique to discuss other possible solutions to their situation, but the woman was pissing him off. When he had told her about what happened with Theo and Leah, the insufferable woman had just laughed it off. She had the audacity to claim it wasn’t her problem. That she wasn’t responsible for one of her own clan members going rogue.Marcus leaned forward in his seat, glaring daggers at the woman. “What do you mean, you’re not responsible for his actions? He was your clan member and he attacked my daughter!”Dominique narrowed her own eyes. “No, Marcus. From my understanding, he attacked the wolves. Your out of control daughter just saw fit to interfere. It’s not my fault if she ended up getting hurt.”Marcus slammed his fist down on his desk. “He should not have attacked the wolves either!”She smirked. “Regardless. What happens to the wolves is not your business.” She crossed her legs, looking completely satisfie
Leah Chapter Twenty-Nine
The four large male dragons circled the area a few more times before making their descent. The pack watched in awe as the four slowly made their way down, shifting to human right before hitting the ground. They stood silently staring at Leah, neither them nor she saying a word. Ray studied the four males thoughtfully, wondering who they were. Three of them were tall, with blond hair and grey eyes. They looked so alike that they could have been triplets. The fourth one, however, was slightly taller than the rest, with red hair and grey eyes. Ray paused for a moment. While the first three males looked different, the fourth one looked an awful lot like Leah. Ray sighed in relief. These must be her brothers.Leah confirmed Ray’s thoughts. “Everyone, these are my brothers.” She pointed to the three blonds, pointing them out one by one. “This is Max. Then there’s Tristan, and Axel.” Last she pointed to the red haired man. “And last but not least, there’s Gabriel.”While Leah was introducin
Leah Chapter Twenty-Eight
Leah woke to the sounds of construction work being done. With all the damage Theo had done with the fires, she figured the pack members were working on rebuilding the pack house. She didn’t know how long she had been asleep, but she felt well rested, so she figured it was time to get up and rejoin civilization.Yawning, she stretched her arms above her head. When she went to remove the covers from on top of her, she froze at the sight ov a small head of curly blond hair nestled on the pillow next to her. She scrunched her brows in confusion, pulling the covers down to get a good look at whoever was lying in the bed next to her. To her shock, it was a small female pup who looked to be about three or four years old. The baby girl was adorable, but Leah was very confused about who this pup was.“Uh, Ray?” She reached out to him through their mate link and he responded immediately.“Yes, my love?”She smiled at the endearment. “I just woke up and noticed that you weren’t here, but instead
Leah Chapter Twenty-Seven
Gabriel stood on the training field watching the warriors train, or at least that is what he was supposed to be doing. In truth, his mind was elsewhere. He had been suspicious when his sister had told him that she had an appointment to go to, but he never suspected that she was running off to have a secret mating ceremony. There was a large part of him that was pissed at her. Not because she got mated to someone who wasn’t from the Blackwell clan. She never wanted to be involved in this whole treaty situation in the first place, and she certainly hadn’t wanted to be forced to get married. No, he was pissed because she had hid something this huge from him. They were supposed to be super close, like two peas in a pod. The fact that she had kept this from him saddened him. It made him feel like they weren’t as close as he had thought they were. They used to tell each other everything, all their deepest, darkest secrets. Now, he couldn’t understand why she would keep something so importan
Leah Chapter Tenty-Six
Ray reaches over and takes Leah out of Dallas’s arms, pulling her close and rubbing his cheek against her head. Without saying a word, he turned and began walking towards the main pack house. His mate has loss a lot of blood, but Ray knew she was a strong dragon. Her heartbeat was strong and her breathing was even. She would need a lot of rest, but her wounds had already began to heal. Even faster than he thought it would. Ray figured it might have something to do wither royal blood mixed with is alpha blood from their mating, but nonetheless, he would still have Francesca do her thing. His sister was the pack healer, and one of the best healer in the county, if not the whole world. His mate would surely live today.He looked around as he walked. Most of the pack houses were gone, burned to the ground. The fires had mostly burned themselves out, and Jagger along with most of the adult males of the pack were putting out the rest of the flames that lingered. Ray would let them handle th
Leah Chapter Twenty-Five
Leah was beyond pissed. Royally pissed, pun intended. She had left her childhood home in almost a depressed state. She had wanted nothing more than to go to Ray and have him hold her in his arms and make the pain of leaving her family go away. Little could she have imagined that she would arrive at the pack territory only to see that it was being destroyed by one of her kind, a dragon!The shock she first experience upon seeing the flames eating their way through all the pack houses and buildings gave way to pure unadulterated anger as she saw her mate being flung from the back of the large dragon and into the side of one of the buildings that just so happened to still be standing. Oh, hell no!With a loud roar full of all the emotions that she had been feeling for the past couple of hours, Leah charged at the black dragon. The black dragon looked up in surprise to see Leah’s large red dragon aiming straight for it. Inside the black dragon, Theo seethed with his own anger and jealous
