2021-02-27 02:44:58"Kaine am I your mate?" she repeats firmly.
I swallow hard. "Yes."
"Well that explains a lot," she mutters then makes a face. "Actually, it explains everything."
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you! I didn't want you to think I only liked you because of the mate bond—I've literally had a crush on you since I was 14 and my mom first told me about you."
Her eyebrow shoots up. "You've had a crush on me since you were 14? That's what? Two years before you even met me?"
I clear my throat and stare at the floor. "Uh yeah kinda."
"I didn't realize I was that famous."
"Syrra, literally every single wolf in that pack has heard stories of you—I'm pretty sure every creature in the world has heard of you," I snort.
"Well in that case you should feel pretty damn special that you get me as your mate," she smirks, and my eyes go wide.
"Wait so you're not mad or gonna reject me or something?"
She frowns. "No of course not, w

I stand completely surrounded by guards, my face burning under their harsh gazes. I try to ignore the way they nudge each other but then I overhear a few words and wince."That's enough!" A booming voice growls.I glance up at Queen Zari. Her eyes are flaming red as she glares down at us. "Ash come with me please," she says, her voice instantly softer.I start to head up the stairs with a small sigh."—dragon hunting filth,"someone spits, and I flinch."What did I just say?" Queen Zari snarls, suddenly in the guard's face.He whimpers slightly and backs off, casting his gaze to the floor. "Please forgive me," he murmurs.She waves her hand. "Get out of here," she snaps.The guards vanish in seconds, leaving me alone with the Queen. She sighs heavily, turning to me. "I'm sorry Ash, they're still stuck in the past, they don't know how to move on," she says.I nod slowly. "It's fine, I don't blame them.

I seriously don't know what to do. They're hidden beneath the blanket, but I can't stop seeing the scars. There werehundreds―literallyhundreds―completely covering his back and shoulders and arms.He just looked so broken when I tried to help and that's not something I've ever had to deal with before.How do you help someone that doesn't think they have a chance?He has probably never had anyone be kind to him other than your mother, maybe he truly believes what others say about him?Azazel offers.That's absolutely awful, he must feel so alone.Well you should get to know him then and try to help him out, plus he is really cute,my dragon murmurs.I look at Ash again and realize she's right. He is really cute."Hey Ash?" I say quietly.He lifts his head slightly to look at me. "What?""I'm sorry for pushing you before. I just really want t

"—they're truly remarkable creatures. If I could be anything, I think I'd want to be an angel.""See I'd want to be a mermaid.""You mean a merman?" she snorts.I make a face. "A merman fine whatever, I think being able to breathe under water and having the ability to explore the deep sea and literally go where others can't would be absolutely amazing," I mutter.She smiles and nods absentmindedly. "Yeah that would be pretty amazing, but I'd still rather be an angel," she chuckles.My eyebrows furrow. "Okay why though?""Well one because they can fly—which you can already do so no wonder you'd rather be amermaid. But also, because they are some of the fiercest warriors I've ever seen. I've never met one in person, but I've seen them hundreds of times in my parent's memories—""Wait your parent'smemories?"She nods. "Yeah have you ever read that book series the humans are obsessed

He lets out a low growl and suddenly I'm on my back in the dirt. My sword has disappeared, but I don't care.Kaine looms over me, his eyes flaring gold. "You are such a tease you know that?" he growls."I know," I grin.He leans down to capture my lips in his. They're soft and warm. My hands make their way to his hair where I tug slightly, smirking at his growl.He pulls away and starts taking off his armor. I reach down to unlace my own. I sit up and Kaine helps me pull it over my head. I giggle as he tosses it aside with a dramatic flourish.I snap my fingers and the rest of both of our armor is gone. Kaine glances down at himself wearing nothing but boxers before shaking his head at me. "You have to teach me that little trick," he murmurs, pulling me closer.I straddle his lap with a small grin. He watches me with his golden eyes and my breath catches in my throat when he bites his lip. His fingers trace up and down my spine and I shiver.

The trees fly past me in a blur. I can feel the wind in my fur and my tongue lolls out the side of my mouth.I spot the red tape finally and dig my claws into the dirt, pushing myself to go even faster. I sprint across the red line taped onto the ground with a small yip.I trot around the clearing, relishing the ache in my legs and the burning in my lungs. I pant heavily as I walk towards Angel and Zella sitting at a table talking.I shift as I walk up and pull on the shorts and sports bra, they toss me. Angel is grinning widely, but Zella just glares at me through narrowed eyes. "You beat the record," Angel tells me."Fuck yes!" I shout, jumping up and down and pumping my arms in the air.Zella growls under her breath. "Do you know how long it took me to make that record?Four years," she grumbles.Angel shakes her head a little and playfully nudges her mate. "Hey but you trained the warrior that beat it in less than a month,"

"Are you sure you're okay?""Yeah I'm fine, let's go.""No, you're not you're bleeding again. Ash stop, we're taking a break.""No I'm fine let's keep―fuck!"I swear under my breath. "We're taking a break," I growl.He nods, clutching at his side. "Yeah okay," he mutters, his face twisted in pain.I help him over to a tree where he collapses against the trunk. "This trip is going to take forever; your mother is probably worried sick―""Ash I'm not going to leave you here," I growl.He snorts. "Your mother made me promise to travel with you and make sure you were safe so if you showed up by yourself, she'd have my head for sure. No, I was going to say we should send a hawk to let her know what happened."My eyebrows furrow. "A hawk? They still use those?""The witches do sometimes but not really anymore. I have one because your mother gave it to me. It was hers but she wanted to make sure nothing happened to me whi

The water laps against my body and it makes my wounds sting, but I ignore the pain. I focus only on the sounds of the moving water and my heartbeat.Thump thump. Thump thump. Thump thump.Slow and steady for the first time in years.Where is Jaxon?my dragon asks.I listen closer and hear a second heartbeat along with faint scratching noises.Somewhere in the trees it sounds like.What's he doing?I sigh. I lift my head up and open my eyes. My eyebrows knit together in confusion as I look up at the sky.He's drawing?Aw he's an artist, just like you!Cassie chuckles.I am not an artist,I scoff.That's what all artists say. Queen Zari seemed to think you have talent."Ash are you okay?" Jaxon's voice brings me out of the conversation with my dragon.A cloud of steam surrounds me, and I take a deep breath. I pull m

"Yeah that'd be fine.""Are you sure?" I ask.She nods. "Yeah I trust you and you both can take care of yourselves," she shrugs.I grin. "Thank you, is there anything you need before we leave?""Actually yeah, can you check on Ash? He usually makes the trip to werewolf territory and back in less than a week and I'm starting to worry. Especially since my son Jax is probably with him," she says."Of course. I will send Rexall over the Mountains, he'll find them," I assure her."Thanks," she murmurs with a heavy sigh.I walk out of her office and down the hall where I run into Kaine. "What's going on?" he asks."I have to go back home for a few days check on things, and you're coming with me."He raises an eyebrow at me. "Really?""Yeah I just talked to your mom and she said it's okay.""I've always wanted to see the witch clans," he says with a smile. He leans down and kisses me lightly on the lips."W

"Thank you for coming with me," I mutter, curling my fingers into his brown and gold fur.You still haven't told me what we're doing here, he says."I already told you, I don't know," I sigh.I'd feel a lot better if I knew why I was taking you to the heart of dragon territory,he growls."The Queen asked us to come that's why. You don't trust her?"I don't trust anyone.I frown. "Not even me?"He stops and cranes his head to look at me. His eyes take my breath away. He told me they are a genetic mutation that runs in his family. All of the males have wolves with eyes of icy blue instead of yellow.Taylor, do you trust me?he asks.The question catches me off guard. I open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes out.He turns away and begins walking again. I grip his fur tighter as he picks up the pace and starts to jog down the mountain path.I'll trust

"What the hell just happened?" Ash whispers.I shrug a little. "I have no idea but that bastard died screaming, so I don't really care," I growl."Fair enough," he mutters with a heavy sigh. "Are you doing okay?"I find myself staring at the ground until it goes fuzzy. "I don't know," I admit.He grabs my hand and interlaces our fingers, leaning his head on my shoulder. "Honestly that's probably a good thing," he murmurs.Kaine suddenly walks toward us, his expression unreadable. "Thank you," he says with a tiny smile.I frown. "For what?""Defending my mate's honor, what he said was―""Disgusting," I growl. "I know you would have done something too, but I just snapped. I mean you did the same for Ash and I yesterday.""Yeah," he sighs. He looks like he's going to say something else but then he turns away and returns to his mate.

He still hasn't let go of the letter. He keeps staring at. He reads it over and over again then closes his eyes for a few moments. When he opens them again and sees the letter still in his hands his shoulders slump a little more."There's no way this is real right?" he whispers, looking up at me.The pain on his face and the hopeful look in his golden eyes makes my stomach turn. I open my mouth, but nothing comes out. I don't know what to say."Please tell me this is all just a bad dream," he begs.I bite my lip hard.It's going to be okay, I want to tell him, but I know it's a lie. I bite harder until I taste blood on my tongue. "I'm sorry Kaine," is all I manage.The last glimmer of hope in his eyes suddenly vanishes. I step closer to him and he wraps his arms around my waist. I suck in a sharp breath as I feel a sudden pressure behind my eyes.He is on his knees, hugging my waist to hold himself up. I can feel something wet

"―a few here actually. They're staying in the tent-hut things just outside the main clearing."I frown. "Syrra did you say you brought someone here?" I ask, looking up from my book."Yes, I apologize Queen Zari, I meant to inform you but it slipped my mind. A few of the vampires living on my territory wanted to see the Circle and meet some dragons," she explains."This place is turning into a tourist attraction," I mutter. "If they cause any problems they will have to leave.""They're very docile creatures, all the ferocity and aggression has left them after centuries of being endangered. They wouldn't dare cause any problems, they're too afraid of extinction," she tells me.I nod and she turns away. A smile crawls onto my lips as I watch her begin to speak again. She sits on Kaine's lap and they face Jaxon and Ash. The boys are all intensely focused, listening to Syrra's stories with animated faces.I notice Jax is braiding Ash's hair and s

"Thanks for helping out dad," I say as I step into the kitchen. I pull off my apron and hang it by the door.My father nods and smiles a little. "Did they like it?""They loved it. You should have seen them, they're so cute together," I gush.He chuckles. "Alpha Dorian is a good guy, he'll make a perfect mate for Taylor."I bite my cheek when I see his smile falter. His eyes are red and the dark circles under them confirm my thoughts. "Hey dad, why don't you try to get some sleep? I can take care of the pack today," I offer."That's very sweet of you Maia but I don't want to give you all that responsibility quite yet."I shrug. "I'll get Mykael to help me, he enjoys my company anyway."He snorts. "I'm sure he does. Alright well I guess you couldn't do too much damage in just one day. Thank you," he says, pulling me into a hug.My stomach twists as I hug him back. His body feels so frail, like if I hug any tighter, I might break

"Taylor!"I sigh heavily into my pillow. "What?" I yell but it's muffled.I hear my door open. "Alpha Dorian is here to see you," Logan says.I groan. "Why the fuck can't he come at a normal time? Why must he show up so early in the morning?" I grumble."He's an alpha Tay, he has a pack to run. Honestly, you're lucky he's putting in this much effort and showing up at all," he snorts."Get out," I spit. I hear the floor creak as he moves closer and a growl escapes my lips. "Logan get the fuck out of my room before I put my foot up your ass."The door slams shut and a few moments later, there's a soft knock. "You can come in Shawn," I mutter, rolling over with a small sigh. It's dark in my room but I can still see.The door slowly opens and my mate steps inside. I can't help the smile that creeps onto my face at the sight of his childish grin. "I apologize for coming so early in the morning," he says.I sit up with a yawn. "Why d

"Did I wake you up?" I ask.He shakes his head. "Nah I couldn't sleep, I was drawing," he says."Can I see?"Jax reaches around behind me and grabs his sketchbook. I take it and look over the unfinished blue flowers. "What are these?""Coal blossoms, haven't you seen them before? They grow all over the volcanoes in the wintertime.""I usually spend winter near the witches' territory," I tell him, handing back the drawing."Why there?""The witch queen turned it into a sanctuary of sorts, everyone there has their own problems, so they don't bother anyone," I say."Yeah Queen Syrra is a pretty amazing, my brother is lucky to have her as a mate," he remarks. "This winter though you should stay in the Circle.""Why?" I ask.He shrugs. "I think you'd like it. Most of the dragons don't like the snow so they stay inside even though it's still pretty warm thanks to the volcanoes," he says."I'll probably have to an

Anyone who says that brown eyes aren't beautiful is an idiot,I think as I pull Ash's hair into a bun again.The early morning sun shines directly into the cave, turning Ash's blonde hair to bright gold and his brown eyes to molten copper. The freckles scattered across his nose are faintly visible in the light too.I use the wet strip of cloth to wipe the blood off his face. He lets out a sharp wince making me sigh. "You know if you didn't move so much, I wouldn't have to keep doing this," I tell him."Maybe I'm doing it on purpose, so you have to keep cleaning it," he mutters.I grin with a small shake of my head. "Gods Ash, why do I get the feeling you're just going to be more and more trouble the healthier you get?""More like the longer I'm away from everyone else," he says."Is it bad in the Circle too?"

Did you just see that?You saw it so obviously I did too,I growl in annoyance.That was the hottest thing I've ever seen!Yes, it was now stop talking, you're ruining this for me.I push him to the back of my mind so I can focus on my mate. She sits tall on her golden throne, her violet gaze cold as ice as it sweeps the room. I can honestly say I have never felt prouder than I do at this moment.She locks eyes with me and motions for me to come forward. My hand rests on the hilt of my sword as I walk across the room to stand beside her."This is Prince Kaine, a warrior of the Dragon Guard and son of Queen Zari," Syrra says, "I expect the clans to pay their respects to such an esteemed visitor considering the unfortunate circumstances under which the Dragon Queen previously visited."Damn,
