It was like waking up from a bad dream and losing reality for a few minutes. Then the fuzziness disappeared and the tragic news of my parents death settled back in my mind like a ton of bricks. My heart was forever shattered in this moment. Sadness was so overwhelming inside me I almost lost my breath. I was officially the last of my kind the dragon shifters that I knew of. We were a proud group of shifters who had walked the earth for centuries. Now I am all that stands between extinction or deliverance. Very few shifter clans ever join forces with any other but the dragons had always had the loyalty of the werewolves. Even now that war was surely on the horizon with the death of my parents at the hands of the werecats I knew what I had to do to maintain the wolves loyalty to me. I had to try and find my fated mate amongst the wolves. It was the only way because I didn’t know of any other dragons. I knew from generations past that dragons and wolves could crossbreed. It wasn't done an
I couldn’t believe my eyes as I stood there in the forest clearing hugging my sister. I thought she had been taken from me for good. I have cared for her most of her life after our parents were killed when Shy was a baby. The woman who stood back watching us was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Her hair was a rich brown and her eyes were shining an electric blue almost like neon signs. She had to be a shifter for them to be glowing but as I sniffed the air to find out which kind her scent of fresh rain filled my nose. It drove my wolf crazy and before I knew it the word Mate came out of my mouth. I sensed that whatever she was the magic she radiated was definitely powerful. The woman stood taller than most men close to six foot but she would come to my shoulders I just knew it. I released Shy and asked her what happened all the while never taking my eyes from the lovely woman standing next to Shy. Shy explained about her run and the kidnapping and being attacked and backed in
I couldn't believe my eyes and ears as I sat on Selwyn's lap and listened to him talk. His face was gorgeous and chiseled. His eyes spoke volumes and held in their depths wisdom beyond my imagination. Then I almost let loose my dragon when he kissed me softly. His lips were so soft and warm and man could he kiss. I instantly kissed him back. I couldn’t help myself. He gave me my first kiss and I was excited. My dragon already felt the bondwith his wolf though he may not know it yet. I figured I had better explain how dragons bonded with a mate. I'm sure he didn't have extensive knowledge of dragons. Most shifters didn't because we were a secretive group of shifters. When our kiss ended I leaned back and smiled at Selwyn. This was my chance to tell him about the dragon mate bond. “ Alpha Selwyn I have something to tell you before we go any farther with this.” He stopped me with a look that said he was not pleased. I looked into his green eyes curiously wondering what I said to make him
The air was hot and sticky as we gathered by the border getting ready to hunt. I wondered if I should show Selwyn up front just how powerful I really am. I know he would never fear me but I wanted him to trust me. I also wanted to be able to trust him and his pack. Reya was clawing at my mind to get loose and protect her mate at all cost. I wasn’t about to shift right here in the center of the warriors. My dragon is not exactly small. I also knew that Selwyn and his wolf Maxim have a driving need to keep me safe so I couldn’t be reckless in my rage against the cats. I didn’t want him getting hurt because of me or my magic. Still I wanted to let Selwyn know that I can handle a good fight. I turned to him and whispered,” I have to warn you my mate that in a fight my looks change and my power is unsettling if you have never seen it. I don’t want to distract you while we hunt.” I could tell for a split second he was unsure what to expect but that he also agreed with me that the pack didn’
The fight was over and I was beyond shocked and amazed watching my mate run at my side keeping up with me. Her strength and magical power was epic. I was the fastest wolf in the pack and the strongest followed by my Betas Ray and Rod. We were all headed to the pack house to wind down. I mind linked more warriors to head back to their posts and keep a watch out for more cats. I knew once Alpha Talis got word about this defeat for the cats he would retaliate fast. When we reached the pack house I threw open the door and headed for my office knowing it was time to fill the beta twins in on my mate. Sooner or later I had to let them know my beautiful mate was the last dragon in existence that I knew of. I could feel the hesitation from my betas as they followed me into the pack house. It was obvious now after the fight that Rain was powerful and almost like a mix between an elemental witch and a shifter. I noticed the way my mate seemed uneasy around Ray and that also had my curiosity up.
I laid down putting my back to Selwyn’s broad chest. He was so warm I couldn’t help but snuggle back into him. I could feel his kiss on my neck and my mind began to race. I knew what happens between mates but I’ve never done that before. Dragons never touched anyone except their mates. The inner dragon would never except anything less than that. Selwyn made me nervous always thinking about what if I did something wrong. Dragons were affectionate only with their fated mates which to the dragon inside me meant Selwyn was our treasure. I felt sleep take him under and I let my mind wander to the possibilities of the mating ceremony. Would he honestly want to be branded by dragon fire all over his body? I know he wants me physically and I know our animals are bonded lock tight but still my mind wondered if the man would want me just as much. Being a powerful dragon shifter with ancient magic was one part of me but I was still a young woman with a few insecurities inside. I knew I wasn’t ig
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 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
