Dawn glanced at Pia with her green eyes wide open. She didn't know that mates could be unmarked too. But why would Daryn unmark her? She looked at Daryn with a question in her eyes as if the thought of unmarking was wounding her soul. She fought a pain back in her throat. Just a day back they were married officially with all the festivities and today Pia was suggesting that he unmark her? "She is not worth it Daryn. She didn't tell you that she is a dragon rider. Because of her we are all in trouble. I…-

"Stone of Solaris is a sacred jewel, a ruby the size of a dragon's egg that was stolen from the Kingdom of Aztec more than two thousand years ago. It was a jewel of prosperity and fertility of the kings and also ensured that the line of the kings continued," said Brantley. "The stone was installed in the temple of Chimala of the royal palace from where it was stolen by the raiders. Ever since there have been no heirs to the kingdom. I am the last heir." Dawn was dumbfounded. What he said sounded so…

Brantley couldn't take his eyes off Quetz. He had waited for it for two thousand years. He had heard that a dragon egg had hatched in the Fulshire Forests—almost two thousand years after it was laid. An egg hatched only for the rider. It chose its rider. It waited for its rider and it was a miniscule chance that the rider came near it. But when it did, the egg hatched immediately. Quetz was the only dragon that was born after a long time and was worth a war. The only problem was its rider. There was…

Shrouded in by the inky canopy of the night sky, the grassy knolls looked like a vast expanse of blackness. The brilliant stars that freckled the sky earlier were now fewer than ever. Even the moon's glow was dimmer as grey clouds floated over it every now and then. Occasional slapping of Izar's hooves on the gravel was the only sound that percolated through the silence. Quetz silently glided above them in circles. Dawn's heart was laden with terror and fear as the night wrapped around her. Why was it so…

"Stop!" Dawn called, but Nusgroth had jumped inside the pit. The ground rearranged itself as all the debris, rocks and dust fitted back in their place as if nothing happened. It was as if the time rewound. Dawn ran after him. But he was gone. There was no trace that he even appeared. She placed her fingers on her parted lips. Did she just hallucinate or was it true? When she began her journey back from Ulfric, on the inside she knew that she wouldn't be seeing Daryn anytime soon considering the way…

Izar was waiting for her outside the cottage. Daryn helped her sit on the saddle and mounted behind her. He wrapped his arms around her in a protective sheath. It was getting darker by the minute. They started for the tunnel's entry point through the forest's winding path. The pixies had once again lit up the path. "Only I am leaving? No one else?" she asked. She thought that even Pia would go with her. "Are you afraid darling?" "No! I thought that Pia would also leave with me." "She is going…

Dawn noticed how Daryn's chin almost trembled when he said that Gayle was missing. She could understand his emotions so well. He wanted to keep her safe, all the more now that Gayle wasn't there and he was thinking of the worse possibilities. He left her and stared at his empty hands. There was soreness in his throat and heaviness in his limbs. He took Dawn's hand in his just to comfort himself. Possibility of the worst-case scenario crept into him like moisture in wood. It travelled through his body…

The surface glimmered in golden with the afternoon sun. The azure, crystal water rippled over it and lapped the shores washing it with its pureness. The edges were dotted with umbrella pines and oak trees, pretty erratically spaced but dense. The only sounds were that of birds chirping and cool water. Dawn took off her tank top and the shorts as she ran towards it to dive in. The cool water surrounded her pleasantly. As she dove in, she could see the stones and rocks at the bottom in hues of grey and…

Dawn woke up the next morning with stiff muscles and even a much stiffer neck. He had claimed her, marked her. She brushed her finger on it and a smile spread on her lips. She turned over and found him peacefully sleeping beside her like a baby. His hair was all mussed up and falling on his forehead. Warmth filled her heart and cruised through every pore of her body when she remembered how she kindled beneath his touch, how they made love together. She touched his heart with her palm and felt how hers…

His wife. His Luna. Daryn lowered himself, placed his arms beneath her, pulled her and slowly kissed her. She opened her mouth for him, as he pressed his body against her. The way he kissed her, it was like he wanted to make sure that she had accepted him in her life. He wanted to ensure that she would be there with him through thick and thin, that she chose him over any other man and be his. "Mine," he groaned in her mouth. She inhaled his scent trying to commit it to her memory. His tongue…
