LacyI knew there would come a time when I had to fight him off, and it came all right. I had been locked in his room for a week when he burst through the door one evening. The guard closed it behind him and I heard it being locked. Paul’s eyes were black as the night and filled with fury, and I was scared.“I don’t know how you did it.” He slowly started closing the gap between us, but I stood firm. “But it seems your mate found you.” I frowned and he smiled. “But you won’t be his for much longer.” Paul lunged at me while my mind was trying to process what he was saying.“NO! NO!” I screamed as he pushed me onto the bed. His one hand gripped both my wrists above my head while his other hand lifted my skirt. It was all happening so fast, but I was determined to fight him until I had nothing left in me.The door flung open, and I caught sight of Kai. That was when the tears started to flow. Kai grabbed Paul and threw him against the wall, but before he could check on me, Paul got up an

LacyNow that Kai and I were physically mated, there was no reason to postpone our ceremony any longer. After what happened to me, the things that used to seem so important suddenly no longer made any sense. Our families were delighted with our decision and everyone jumped to arrange the ceremony.I chose a beautiful dress made of different shades of chiffon that flowed around me like soft clouds. I wanted a more traditional ceremony and, thankfully, Kai agreed. We didn’t want these new look weddings like most of our kind had these days.We both wanted to be bound in the old ways. By promising each other our lives and having our lives bound together in front of our families and friends. I noted the beautiful cloth my mother embroidered by hand especially for this day and I smiled.“It is time sweetheart.” My father’s voice interrupted my thoughts while I was standing in front of the mirror daydreaming and I beamed at him. I took the beautiful silk cloth and hung it over my shoulder an

Lacy It took time, patience and a lot of love, but I finally started to feel like my old self again. I was stunned that I had acted that way. I mean, I could remember it all, but it didn’t feel as though it was me doing it. It was as though something had taken over my body and mind.It felt as though everything I did was part of a strange fog I had been living in. I told Kai and the doctor everything as soon as it felt as though the fog had lifted. For a while, they even thought that I might have been under some kind of spell, since nobody could really tell what Paul had done to me.Kai enlisted the services of a witch, who thankfully confirmed that there was no spell and no potion involved. The doctor believed that it was some kind of baby blues. Just a far worse version than he had ever seen. He believed it was the trauma of what happened, which I never really processed, that finally caught up to me.Once I worked

LacyIt took time, but slowly I started to regain my confidence and myself. I was less protective over our children, which was a huge relief, since I actually felt less protective. The world no longer scared me as much as it did before, and I could give my children the space they needed to grow.At the same time, I was learning so much about myself in the course that it was almost as though I was getting therapy instead of going to class. I slowly started to find my feet in the world again and worked through the trauma of what happened to me.I could drive again, although I still didn’t want to go anywhere alone. I could drive without shaking like a leaf. I never realized that what happened to me had affected me that badly. I suspected, but I never realized that so much emotional damage could have been done.I figured out after one of my classes that while I was in the situation, I didn’t feel the wounds because I was just trying to survive. I didn’t allow myself to feel at all, which

NagaaraThanks to the dragon magic that flowed through my veins, I knew everything about my mother. Even what she wanted to call me and I claimed that name. I was unable to shift or use my magic thanks to the steel around my throat and wrists, but the magic still flowed freely through me.I knew all the spells my kind collected through the centuries. I just couldn’t physically do them. But then the beasts weren’t after the magic. They were after information and as long as they thought that I might have some, they would keep me alive.Max“She’s just a child!” I was shocked at the sight of the young girl on the other side of the one-way mirror. When I left my father in charge, I didn’t think he would have gone as far as he did. From the reports that were coming through, we had won. The dragons were gone after the last battle. It was over. All that remained was this one girl that glared at the mirror as though she knew I was watching her from the other side.“She might be just a child,
