BastianIt was an hour later than I expected. This was an especially difficult pickup and I needed to discuss what was happening with Acasia. She was key to the situation and she wouldn't be happy about her role.I walked into the suite and found her passed out on the couch, an empty bottle of wine laying on her chest. This wasn't what I'd expected to find, but how could I not smile? Removing the bottle, I picked her up and carried her to bed. She mumbled, but I couldn't understand what she said. I removed her clothes, regretting that I couldn't take my bride this night. I lay beside her on the bed and willed my stiff cock to calm.Hours later, she scrambled up and ran for the bathroom. My bride did not handle her alcohol well. I followed and leaned down beside her, gathering her hair to keep it out of her way."Go away." Her hand limply tried slapping me aside, but I ignored her."If you remember correctly, you've upchucked on my feet before.""Those were claws or talons or something

AcasiaI walked faster and climbed into the back of the car refusing to hand the child to Bastian. Twenty minutes later, we boarded a plane and about two hours later, entered another vehicle. Brunya was again our driver and took us to the realm divide. My eyes had rarely left the child's face. His breathing was shallow with fewer breaths than only an hour before. There was now a blue tinge around his small lips.Brunya opened my door before Bastian walked around. I watched him approach."Could crossing the realms kill him?" These were the first words I'd spoken to Bastian since leaving the baby's home."It's never happened, but I fear a delay. Turn around and hold him tightly." Bastian removed the tubing and handed the cylinder to Brunya. His arms wrapped around mine and like when we entered this realm, his feet walked me forward. I knew what to expect this time, and it wasn't as bad. The child jerked in my arms before its body stiffened. Dread filled me and then we were through. Jona
Alpha Dragon Chapter 19
BastianMonths passed and we settled into our life. Acasia was my blessing and I cherished our time. It hurt me when I felt her sadness. She would offer a smile, but I knew the sadness was there. Often, making love would take the feeling away, but sometimes she went into a melancholy that lasted days. It frustrated me because my other brides rarely did this once they settled. Acasia was different. She loved deeper than any human I'd ever met.I flew to my bedroom perch and shifted to human form. I could hear her in the library, her soft breathing an ever present part of me. I showered and changed into jeans and a t-shirt because I liked the look in her eyes when she saw me thus.I needed to speak to her about a raid I had planned with Laryn. The dragon's foul moods were too much for me, and I wanted to take his mind elsewhere. I could not bring Acasia with me, and dreaded her being alone. This was not a conversation I looked forward to.She sat at the end of the table at the back of t

AcasiaI felt as if I won a major battle. Finding the sketchbook was heartbreaking and eye opening. Bastian's pain was so incredibly deep, and I would do anything to ease it. He needed to trust that I knew what was best. Stubbornness was the way of men and it didn't matter if they were human or dragon.We ate lunch in the library and I realized something else was wrong. He wouldn't look at me when he finally spoke."I am going away with Laryn. We will be gone a few days and you are staying behind."I calmly rested my fork beside my plate. "Where are you going?""We are raiding a neighboring realm."Fear made my voice tight. "And I have no say in this?""It is the way of dragons. A bride's place when her dragon goes hunting treasure is at the hearth. You will do as told."One step forward and one-hundred steps back when dealing with a pigheaded idiot. "When do you leave?""In an hour."I wanted to hit him, and I could tell by his refusal to look at me that he postured for the sake of h

BastianLaryn had trouble keeping up with me on our return home. He would pass through my territory before continuing to his lair. Our hunt had been successful, our bags full of gold. Laryn seemed in better spirits and I was glad we'd gone. I was not glad to be away from my bride.Approaching my lair, I noticed the gold and jewels thrown from my perch. If this was the worst of it, I would have her in my arms, and minutes later, my cock buried deep in her warmth.The rooms were silent when I walked through them naked. I needed my bride. I searched everywhere before making my way to the hallway leading to the remainder of my castle. I unlocked the door, throwing it open. Maxwell stood on the other side. I could immediately tell he was upset."Is she here?" I thundered.He shook his head and pointed to the front of the castle away from my private rooms."When did she leave?"He stared at me in a panic.I took a breath knowing I had to ask yes and no questions."Did she leave today?"He n
Alpha Dragon Chapter 22
AcasiaI woke up in a soft, unfamiliar bed. It took me a few minutes to remember what happened. I looked around. There seemed to be only one room and one bed. I could smell the dragon, but it wasn't my dragon. This was no good.The door slammed open against the far wall and Laryn entered carrying a stack of wood. There was a fire in the hearth and a cool current of air passed through the room from the open door.Where the hell was I?I pulled the covers closer to my neck and waited for Laryn to turn my way.He didn't smile and his voice was surly. "How do you feel?"Should I answer?No, not yet.He walked closer and I gripped the covering tighter.It didn't stop him. He grabbed a handful of the material and whipped it from the bed. I screeched involuntarily. The only thing I was thankful for at this moment was I still had my clothing on from earlier. Or yesterday. I had no idea where I was or how long I'd been here.Tears swelled painfully behind my eyes as I tried to stop them.Laryn
Alpha Dragon Chapter 23
BastianThree days and there was still no sign of Acasia or Laryn. Sarn and Tahr helped me search. If they hadn't fed me, I wouldn't have eaten. My moods switched from rage to overwhelming sadness and back to rage. Mostly I was angry with myself.Besides our monthly poker games, we usually spent very little time in the company of other dragon brides. Tahr brought Megan to Sarn's lair to help Calista. When we weren't scouring territories, I observed their relationships. It took no time for me to realize we were at the mercy of our brides. If they were happy, we were happy. As dragons, we postured, but the bottom line was we loved our brides deeply. This knowledge did nothing to help my situation, so I stored the information.This was the third night, and Sarn had taken it upon himself to make sure I was drunk enough to sleep. The females had gone to bed an hour ago and we were on our second bottle of whiskey."I think Laryn took her out of the realm," Tahr said before upending his gobl
Alpha Dragon Chapter 24
BastianLaryn took her to another realm. I no longer had any doubt, and I could no longer keep Tahr or Sarn away from their brides. My head pounded from lack of sleep and too much alcohol. I told them that if today's search failed to uncover my bride, Tahr and Sarn would return to their homes and I would return to mine.Alone.Sarn, offering his lair, saved my sanity over the past few days. But I had to find a way to go home, though I wasn't giving up my search. I needed another plan. One was contacting Dmitri and having him make inquiries throughout the earth realm.The sun had gone down, but the moons showed the gold and jewels that littered the area under my perch. I didn't care; there was no treasure worth more than the one I'd lost. My dark room just added to the gloom. Her smell overwhelmed me and I almost turned around and left when I heard a slight rustling from the bed. It had to be my imagination, but something drew me closer. My feet hit a hard surface then something wet sl
