Lord Dragenski. The mysterious businessman. Since Ares discovered the man’s craftmanship, he had only been buying ships and furniture from him. His ships could sail through the strongest of storms and survive the brutalities of seas and oceans. He truly admired his work. “Is there anything we didn’t pay?” Ares asked. “No. I bought three more ships like you told me. They are delivered but he wants payment in another form.” Ares stopped looking through the containers for weapons. “Another…-

“How was she as a person before all this?” Ares asked Ankine wanting to know if Nazneen was being this emotional only because she was locked for too long and because she was disappointed in him as her breedmate or if it was also part of her personality. Ankine smiled as she wiped the floor in the temple. “Is she giving you a hard time?” “More like wasting my time.” Ankine stopped the wiping and looked at him. “She has always been a little more on the emotional side. A good compliment to a…

Nazneen hated that she allowed herself this comfort knowing this man didn’t have the intentions she wanted him to have. But her instinct was too strong. It was so challenging to smell him, hear his heartbeat and breathing yet stay away. It was so difficult to ignore the longing in her to finally be in her breedmate’s arms. It had been the only thing to keep her sane and alive all those years in the darkness. The only comfort she found and now she was deprived of it. She snuggled against him, inhaling…

Malachi held Ravina in his arms, listening to her breathing calm down and she slowly fell into a deep slumber. With his senses still on high alert because of the healing, it wasn’t easy to have her this close and keep himself in this form. But she had asked him to hold her and comfort her. He knew how difficult it was for her to allow herself such things, let alone express them so he wanted to do his best to be there for her. It was the least he could do, after everything he put her through. The fury…

Malachi stiffened as his hands reached behind her back. She flinched a little when he accidentally touched one of her scars and then he pushed himself up. A stern expression hardened his face and he just grabbed her, pulling her up with him he turned her around as if she was a doll. He was not completely himself she realized but she tried to remain calm. Removing her hair from her back, she felt him become still. She had seen what the scars looked like. It was not a pretty sight and she had seen ugly.…

Nazneen was confused. How did he command her? What were those tools in his hands and why wasn’t she healing? The pain was excruciating. She tried to stand up again, but her leg gave in. Ares put the tool away as more dragons came flying. He would kill her. He lied! They landed, shifting to human form and she recognized the priests. Once they saw the priestess bleeding on the ground they prepared for an attack. “Leave her!” Ares said when she tried to force herself up again to fight. She would not…

No no no! It couldn’t be. Not him! This couldn’t be happening to her but the fact that he was standing there, right in front of her and she could see him already spoke for itself. No one could get into the cave except for her breedmate. She struggled between wanting to shift and end this nightmare by burning him to ashes and wanting to crawl back into her corner and cry. Why was this happening to her? She had waited so many years. So. Many. Years. In this darkness, alone waiting for the day her…

Ares woke up from another strange dream where he was drowning. He did not die. He had drowned so many times as a young boy, and even as he became older he had survived many storms that destroyed the ships he was on, killing everyone except for him. He would always find himself safe on shore. How did she know? Did her vision also show her that? He didn’t have dragon blood back then, so did she mean that there was something else different about him beyond the blood experiment? Getting out of bed he went…

Ravina wasn’t one to wait for things to happen. If she wanted something she was used to working to create it or get it. Now she was just supposed to wait for Malachi to wake up despite the fact that he had been sleeping for three days. His family seemed more relaxed each day noticing something she wasn’t. She could see no difference. He lay like a dead body in his bed. She had tried a few things on her own, talking to him while taking care of him, trying to shake him awake, not even the cold water of…
