Kayda. I sat tucked into Andy's large bed as she slept off the overwhelmingly drained emotions of the afternoon, and I just stared into space deep in thought. If the so-called master now knew my secret, I was going to have to find a way to protect my child and my newfound friend. I looked at Andy as she slept. She was still so pale, and her eyes puffy from the tears. Why would the moon goddess pair her with someone like the master? A mate was meant to be a gift, the moon Goddesses gift to her shifter children. Each mate was meant to make the other stronger and better, was Andy meant to soften the harshness of the master but if so, he was destroying her. She was so kind-hearted that I could feel that instantly when I met her, she deserved a nice mate and her freedom. When Andy finally woke, she insisted we go get something to eat, so we went to the change. I reluctantly pulled on a dress as I didn't need to provoke the master whilst working on my escape plan. I hated the fact I had t

Kayda. My Dragon glared at the man before us as he went to move towards us. "Do not take one step further." She boomed, but he froze. The blue fire licked my hands, but it wasn't hot. "No one ever said the girl had fire power." Cadmus smiled delight, dancing in his eyes. "A fire dragon and a royal blood line in you, Adalinda." Glee now evident in his demeanour. "Is he mad?" I asked my dragon in our mindlink. "He old enough on this damn earth to be a little nuts. I believe they call it eccentric." she responded. "How old?" I asked. "He went into hibernation for hundreds of years. Something must have awoken him." she explained. "I died a millennia ago, or so it feels. I had lived my natural life cycle with my human counterpart until another soul suited to me came along. Then the God's and Goddesses paired me to you, Kayda. I became anchored to you and Flame equally." she told me in our private link. "Why did you never tell me any of this?" I was shocked. "You n

Kayda. Andy's declaration of the rejection of the mate bond caused Drakos to clutch his chest and fall to his knees with a roar. The roar was so chilling it drew my attention briefly from my friend. Andy didn't make a sound, her eyes fixated on Drakos as he grappled with his pain. "Accept the rejection." she finally said through gritted teeth as I now realised she was fighting under her own waves of pain from the fracturing bond. I heard like most shifters had that the shattering of the mate bond was unbearable to us. It was such a powerful gift that to refuse it was destiny changing and, therefore, in theory, came at a cost. Andy paled as another wave of pain washed over her as Drakos did not accept the rejection. I reached out for my friend as she fainted, and I cradled her in my arms as I fell to the floor with her. The blue fire stayed around us in a protective circle, but from my position on the ground holding Andy, I could no longer see Drakos or the orange groove. "If h

Kayda. Daisy looked like someone about to throw up as she constantly glanced over her shoulder at the unconcious Drakos we had thethered to the tree. "Come on, Daisy, we need to move and get somewhere safe with Andy." I hissed, drawing her attention back to me. I didn't want to scare her anymore than she already was, but there was an urgency to the situation. "I am not sure those chains or that tree will hold him. If he shifts into his dragon, I fear nothing will hold him back." I added as I strained to pick up Andy. Being pregnant really was messing with my strength, much to my irksome realisation. Daisy dutifully grabbed Andy's feet as we stumbled in tandem across the courtyard through the orange trees and inside. We headed to my bedroom and placed Andy on the bed there. "Who do we need to worry about here, Daisy, besides Drakos?" I asked her as she bit her lip. "Mr Burton he has served Drakos for years, the gaurds who remain mostly outside on the perimeter of the island.

Kayda As soon as Eoin spotted me and we locked eyes, I knew he was momentarily distraced as I called out to warn him of Drakos' rapidly changing features and his growth in stature. He roared at Eoin, who had now swiftly shifted to Jagger in a cloud of shredded clothing. "No one takes the dragon's treaures." he boomed, sending a chill down my spine as I knew Eoin didn't know that to Drakos I was a piece of his treaure. Jagger snarled. "I don't want your damn treasure. I want my mate." he declared, not knowing they were one in the same. "She's mine." The dragon roared as he whipped his huge tail around and smashing up everything in the corridor he buried my mate in a huge pile of crumbling stone and plaster as I screamed. I saw Ben, Ash, Arthur, and someone I didn't recognise all rush to the pile of rubble shifting rocks and bricks from where Jagger's wolf had been seconds earlier. It was then I spotted Sage and Rori, and I frantically called to Sage as Drakos crashed out into t
