I ran at full speed to the end of the tunnel bursting free into the middle of the woods on pack land. I was hoping Selwyn wouldn’t be mad at me for not waiting on him but I knew I wanted to be done with this and it would be easy to capture and return Ray to be punished by his Alpha. I followed Ray’s essence in the air and ran to the border knowing he was already running straight for Jadeville to hide. I also knew that Selwyn would be displeased with me leaving pack land without him but I didn’t have time to wait on him or Ray would get away. I also knew I could sense any trap that might be waiting. Ray knew enough about me torealize my strength and magic by now. I was just hoping he wasn’t going to sell me out to the cats. I slowed down as I reached Jadeville and kept to the shadows. I sent my magic outside of myself seeking Ray’s essence in the air around me. It didn’t take me long to find what I was looking for as I walked down the quiet streets of the small town. I ducked into the
Selwyn’s POV I was beyond annoyed not knowing what my mate would do when she faced the cats and the witch. Ray would be easy to subdue by my alpha command. As I explained to Rain that I would end Talis the look on her beautiful face told me she had other plans. I had even used my alpha command on my mate knowing it wouldn’t work but I had to try and do all I can to protect her. If Talis killed her parents then he knew how to neutralize Rain and take her from me. That thought alone made my heart ache. That can never happen. I had just found her. She is mine! The mate bond was growing between us but I had a sinking feeling that Rain didn’t feel it the same or as strong as me because she wasn’t a wolf. I knew I would do what ever I had to if I wanted to keep her. I also knew I had to find out if anymore dragons roamed the earth. I wouldn’t claim her only to loose my mate later on to a dragon. I was beginning to think that I was not her fated mate as she was mine. Maxim keep pace with R
Rain’s POV I stood in the small clearing in the quiet forest gazing at the witch and waiting. Darkness surrounded us but my night vision was spot on. My mate was behind me along with beta Rod just inside the wood line but still concealed from view. I could feel Selwyn’s anxiety and determination but I couldn’t afford any distractions while facing the witch. I know what magic I hold inside me and I know how strong I am. I have never let arrogance cause me to get to cocky. My father had trained me from an early age on defense and strategy. My ancient magic I had to learn by studying the books my parents found for me and by trial and error until I perfected it. My eyes are glowing but that is all I am showing the witch just yet. I will let her make the first move and then end this little dance so I can destroy Talis. It took only a moment for the witch to throw a dark spell at me from her hand. It was meant to freeze me in place I could tell. For a few seconds I let her believe it worke
The night was quickly fading into early morning. I couldn’t believe the fight was over for now. My worst enemy was gone. Now I just had to focus on my mate and strengthening our bond, if my nerves would let me. I wanted my mate but I just didn’t know if he wanted all of me and not just my body. It was a debate that my mind just couldn’t stop going over. Reya also felt that uneasy feeling of maybe Selwyn wasn’t our treasure. If he backed out of the mating ceremony then Reya would never except him. If my dragon didn’t except Selwyn then neither could I. My body wouldn’t let me even if my mind still wanted to at that point. However I wouldn’t think about that now. I was to tired. I just needed some sleep and yes to be honest I wanted to snuggle up to my mate. The cold breeze still blew softly over our faces as we stood facing each other and waiting for Selwyn to decide what we should do next. I knew what I wanted to do but I would listen to my mate first. He didn’t know about my home
Selwyn’s POV The last two days have literally blown my mind. I was exhausted and I knew my Rain was as well. I could feel her tiredness through the mate bond. I knew she couldn’t feel the bond as strong as me yet, but I had no doubt that after I calmed her she would. Maxim was the happiest my wolf had ever been after finding our mate. He lay curled up in my mind content like a puppy. Rain slept snuggled in my arms after a few kisses and caresses. I was still wide awake thinking over all that happened. I was so glad Rain didn’t challenge my authority at any time in front of my pack. She was by far the most magical and powerful shifter I have ever met in my life. I am beyond thankful that the Moon Goddess paired her with me. For all her power, she didn’t realize that I could feel her every emotion through the mate bond. She was patiently trying to get to know me but I already knew her feelings very well. I was fast learning her quirks and her magic. I couldn’t wait to see my mark on her
Rain’s POV I was floating high above the clouds in my mind as I enjoyed being close to Selwyn. I sat on the corner of the oak desk in my father’s huge library listening to all my mate had to say about being with me forever. I was slowly falling in love with my mate. Now that I was definitely sure he wanted to be mated for life I was finally ready to be claimed by him. I was ready to claim him as my fated mate and show him my dragon. Reya had already decided he is our treasure. I have never shifted before but I knew dragons were not small so I wanted to shift while here at my mansion before we went back to the pack. I knew I wouldn’t be able to shift until I was claimed by Selwyn. The claiming is what brings forth the shift soon after. Selwyn smirked at me as he mentioned sending Rod back to pack lands. I smiled knowing he wanted me to teleport Rod alone but sadly I couldn’t do that unless I touched Rod. I raised up from the desk and began walking over to the door before
Rain’s POV I was soaring above the clouds the wind blowing my long hair out of my face. I could see the clear blue skyline as I swirled around in a circle, only to see my body change in midair. I became a beautiful icy blue dragon with pale blue wings and spikes that ran from my back down my tail. I knew I was dreaming when I saw my face had changed into a beautiful dragon snout with razor sharp teeth. Horns sat atop my head and more short spikes ran the length of my neck. My dragon scales were shining in the sunlight a magnificent icy blue hue. My dragon’s underside was a sparkling shade of the palest blue I had ever seen. I knew without having ever seen this beauty before that this was Reya introducing herself to me before anyone else. I had been speaking to her in my mind since I was a kid but I had never fully seen her up close. My dream changed again and I sat on Reya’s back as we glided through the clouds. My heart was so full of love in that moment for my dragon half. Reya was
Selwyn’s POV The last six months with my beautiful mate have been the best in my life by far. Ever since the day I claimed Rain it has just been getting better and better. I’m sitting here in my office, supposed to be working, yet I can’t keep my mind off my delicious mate. Everything reminds me off her. All I have to do is look in a mirror and I am reminded of my sweet Rain. The branding by dragon flame was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. The look on Rain’s face as she came undone for me is etched in my mind forever. Being ignited in flames was just a plus. It was the most pleasure I have ever experienced. Now I see myself branded hers forever in blue flames from my knees to the bottom of my jaws. Well what can I say it just makes me look bad ass. Maxim even has a blue tint to his fur now when I shift. We are forever Rain’s treasure and I thank the Goddess for her everyday. I glanced down at the stack of reports on my desk and knew I needed to get some work done. I
Rain’s POV I waited until Mack and Icy walked out of library. I stood stone statue still just looking at the love of my life laying on the desk lifeless. My grief was eating me alive but I knew in my heart that I could bring him back to me. All my training at the temple had prepared me for this moment. I realized that now in this moment as I thought back over everything I learned from Selene. I also knew I needed to hurry before Selwyn’s soul left his body for the afterlife. I moved closer to the desk and placed my hands on his chest. I cleared my mind and focused on my ancient power within myself. I called quickly on every ounce of power I had and began harnessing the God power that resides inside me. I began to shake as I felt the waves of extreme power flow up my throat and into my mouth. I leaned over my beloved mate and kissed his lips, opening his mouth with my lips and tongue. I pressed my lips tightly to his and let the God’s powers flow into Selwyn. I felt my body
Mack’s POV The jungle became quiet as the magic that had me stuck released. The king was still laying face up on the jungle floor. My mate Icy jumped down beside me and I turned to make sure she wasn’t hurt. We were both still naked and I wrapped my arms around her and held her close to me. I knew what the grieving queen planned to do. I wouldn’t tell my mate because I didn’t want the god of Justice to hear the plan. I knew from the past that the queen had a way of making plans that may seem crazy to others. However they worked out. I backed my mate over to the rock behind us and grabbed our clothes, whispering to Icy to get dressed and to not move from this spot. I wasn’t about to let my beautiful mate die. I kissed her quickly but passionately, pouring all my love for her into our sacred mate bond. She was my treasure for eternity. I stepped back and brushed a lock of her long white hair behind her ear. Then looking into her pale icy blue eyes I nodded once. I watched as
Mack’s POV Something wasn’t right here in the jungle. I knew it the moment I felt Queen Rain enter into my private space. I was in the middle of putting on a sexy show for my mate who was perched above me on a ledge. Dragon’s never interrupted or interfered in another dragon’s mating with their treasures. Even though I used to flirt with Rain just to infuriate King Selwyn, I never wanted to take her from him. I couldn’t if I tried. Their love for each other was infinite and all powerful. I knew I needed to stop and call my mate down to me. I tried mind linking Icy but I couldn’t. A strange powerful magic had taken control of my body. I couldn’t look away from the spot I knew my mate was sitting. Still I felt the Queen’s eyes on me. The only thing in my mind was that King Selwyn was going to really kill me if I couldn’t control my body. This wasn’t fun anymore but the force that held me wouldn’t let go. Within minutes I released my unwanted orgasm. I could feel the distre
Rain’s POV I laughed along with Connie and ShyElle as we playfully gave a merry goose chase to our mates. We teleported from city to city all around the kingdom always one step ahead in our game of hide and seek. I knew in my mind that Selwyn wouldn’t let me win this game for long. I hadn’t been back from the temple long enough for my mate to want to be apart again for any length of time. I also knew when he caught up to me he would make me pay for this game in the most delicious teasing way. However I wasn’t ready to get caught just yet. I teleported Connie and Shy to Jadeville again where we landed in Modley’s back yard. It was late so I knew that he and his family were all asleep safely inside his house. I wondered how Hugo, Rose, and Violet were doing? I needed to come in the day time and visit with them again soon. “ Rain I’m enjoying this game but I wonder how much longer we are going to play it?” ShyElle asked me with a smile. I knew her well enough to know that she was m
Rain’s POV After another few hours of claiming my treasure in our bed, I knew it was time to see my parents and my friends. Fresh and clean from another shower with jeans and a pale blue tee shirt. I was very happy to be home and excited to hug them all in the mansion. Selwyn was grinning as he raised his eyebrow at me and asked me if I was ready to go downstairs. He was dressed in black jeans and a black tee shirt looking super sexy. I nodded and smiled as I walked over to our door and placed my hand on the doorknob. I sent my magic outside of me to get an idea of who was inside the mansion and where they were at. I smiled realizing they were all waiting for us in the sitting room. I felt the presence of my dearest friend waiting for me in the hallway with her new bundle of joy. Selwyn placed his hand on my lower back and leaned down close to my ear and said,” My Rain it’s time to see them.” His deep gravely voice sent shivers down my spine in the most delicious way. We had spen
Selwyn’s POV I gazed into the eyes of my mate as she smiled at me for the first time in ages it seemed. Our mate bond was open again and stronger than ever. I wanted nothing more than to reclaim my mate. However I was not about instant gratification in this moment. Oh no I was going to make my queen submit fully to me and beg for release. This would be punishment for everything she has put me through with her plans. Yes they worked but I hated Rain’s plan from the start. I slid my body out from under her and got out of bed. I watched as my beautiful Rain began to pout and reach for me. I shook my head at her and schooled my features very seriously. I walked to the bathroom door and turned to look at her while leaning against the door. “ Come to me wench. Let’s shower before your punishment begins.” I said to her with a growl. Her new changed features were such a turn on. Maxim was clawing inside my mind, urging me to just reclaim our mate. I could feel Reya, Rain’s dragon awa
Rain’s POV It’s been weeks since the moon goddess brought me to her temple to train me. I was exhausted and frustrated. I just wanted my treasure yet I knew I needed to learn everything I could from my second mom. It still blew my mind to know that Selene was indeed my mother as well. I missed my parents but I knew that they were safe and back to themselves by now. My mate was a strong King and I knew he was taking care of them. I had just finished another day of training with the goddess. She was relentless with me learning all that my powers would accomplish. I was here in her temple in my spirit form. My actual body was at the mansion. Selene had left me on my own after her lesson on creation and how to create a shifter bond or bring them back to life. I sat on my bed and let my thoughts take me to my mate. I pictured him in my mind. His strong arms, his gorgeous smile, and well let’s just say I needed him badly. I missed his deep gravely voice calling me his Rain or even h
Selwyn’s POV I was standing just outside the mansion as a large purple suv came sliding sideways to a stop. I jerked the door open and lifted out the love of my life. I knew from the mindlinks of Rod and Nevel that something was wrong with my Rain. They all thought it was the dark evil blood magic. Now that she was in my arms I knew that it wasn’t the case. I looked into her eyes as she fought to stay awake for me. A single tear slipped out of the corner of my eye as I watched with helplessness as Rain succumbed to a deep sleep. I couldn’t feel her through the mate bond but I could still feel the tingles from holding her in my arms. I quickly carried her to our room and laid her on our bed. Maxim was torn apart as again we were helpless to fix our mate. Rain had suffered so much by others evil intentions already. I just wanted to protect her and never let her go. I knew she was strong and I knew even with all my power and magic I would do everything in my power to keep her saf
Rain’s POV For the second time in my life I was floating on a sea of black nothingness. I had no idea how long I have been like this. Time has a strange way of standing still when you get caught in the void inside your own mind. I couldn’t feel the evil blood magic inside me anymore. That means Selwyn must have destroyed it. I wondered why then was I still stuck like this? Surely my mate would have been able with his magic to free me from this darkness. I reached out with my senses and was met with nothing. I couldn’t hear anyone. Couldn’t see anything around me but pitch black. I couldn’t feel, smell, or taste anything. Nervousness began to sink in as I tried to move my body and reach inside myself for my powers. Nothing happened. Sadly I couldn’t even cry at this point. Frustration rushed through my mind as I kept trying and trying to break myself out of this void and the darkness. I just wanted Selwyn. I continued to float along into what felt like and endless abyss. Sleep wo
