As the day came to an end, the trials were put on hold; the remaining ones would be held the following day. The witch had participated in all the tests, and Ares was curious to see how well he did. He retreated to his room and went through the answers the witch gave in the tests. His name was Sylas, and there was no doubt that he was a clever man. Yet Ares couldn't help but notice that some of his suggestions for solutions were extreme. Almost sadistic. Most of the other answers were brilliant. Even more…-

Ares and Ankine had searched the gloomy west mountain for the witch, but they had never found him. Instead, they went back home, sad and discouraged. Ares awoke the next morning with another sharp pain in his chest after having some strange nightmares again. He clenched his teeth and attempted to disregard the pain, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. A knock on the door made his head turn. "Come in," he called, and soon Tenzing stepped inside. "Good morning," he greeted. "Good…

Ravina's face flushed as her bravery faded and she realized what she had done. Locking eyes with Malachi after that was difficult, and her eyes darted. "Uh..." she stood up, almost turning around before she spoke. Malachi grabbed her wrist to stop her. "Where are you going?" "I need a moment," she said, wanting to escape. Hesitantly, he let her go and she hurried into the private room. Her face was on fire but so was her body. What spirit possessed her? She had always been a bit daring, but this... She…

He seized her arms and drew her in with such force that she gasped. His lips crashed onto hers; all the pent-up desire and longing he had been restraining was unleashed in that passionate kiss. Ravina melted into him, her hands now free to explore his body. She felt the heat radiating from his skin, matching the fire building inside her. Malachi deepened the kiss, his tongue slipping between her lips to taste the hidden parts of her, stimulating her in ways that left her breathless. His hands traced the…

Ravina had kept herself busy the whole day, despite the strange sensation in her body. She felt hotter than normal, and there was a strange itch in her body. As soon as she got a moment between one job and the next, her mind went back to the kiss with Malachi. His scent still lingered on her, but it was stronger than ever before. Georgia, Kayla, Mara, Nako, and Brenna helped her make the posters she wanted to spread, and soon many other women joined, whom Ravina got to know while selling the peelers or…

Malachi walked to the courthouse, his chest still tight, his lungs still heavy from the lingering sensation of Ravina's kiss. The desire to mate with her had ignited his blood, sending heat pulsing through his veins with the threat to consume him. His dragon clawed and growled at the edges of his consciousness, demanding to be freed to claim his breedmate. He shook his head. It was not time to succumb to his primitive instinct so he decided to shift his focus. With each stride, he concentrated on forcing…

"Good morning," Malachi replied after tearing his lips away from her. Ravina was breathless, her body tingling all the way down to her toes. The heat that had been bothering her reached another level, and now it ran in her blood. It amplified the taste of his lips on hers, the feel of his body against hers, and his addicting scent. Slowly, he released her, and she was down on her feet again, feeling unsteady for a moment. Malachi walked over to the chair and sat down at the table, and Ravina had to…

Malachi stood in front of the dresser combing his wet hair after his quick bath. He had woken up alone in bed and from the chatter downstairs he knew Ravina was making breakfast with Nako and Mara. He took the opportunity to wash up because today he had had a lot to do. His mind was already planning for the day as he wanted to make things right. The sooner this was solved the sooner he could live a happy life with less worry besides his breedmate. Ravina. That woman had done something to him. She gave…

When the messengers came back with the lists of names, Nazneen was surprised to see how many people had applied. She was also happy to see many female names and hoped that they would make it through the tests. A mix of fear and excitement bubbled in her. She was excited about the future changes but she also had some concerns. They were subdued now that she was surrounded by men who supported her but also lightened her mood. She put the paper aside to prepare for bed. Tomorrow the trails would start and…

"Did you experiment with dragon blood?" Nazneen crossed her arms over her chest. Ares took a moment to think of what route he wanted to take. Say something to anger her and end this thing that was escalating between them and live his last days sailing away or try to ease things. Unable to decide, he let fate decide for him and told things as they were. "Yes." He replied. "Who told you?" "I overheard your men but it doesn't matter," she spoke annoyed and angry. "Why would you do that?" "I was trying to…
