It’s cold.

Very cold.

Where am I that’s so cold?

Last I remember I was walking with Reni… I remember getting incredibly hot, the exact opposite of the temperature I was currently feeling around me.

“Gudinna? Are you here with me?” I open my eyes, sitting up and smacking my head into something immediately. I back up a little at the sight of Bacudal inches away from my face, his yellow slitted eyes staring into mine.

I look around, pushing myself off the floor.

“Why am I here? What's happening?” I ask, my eyes flicking to his nest of eggs in the middle of the cold, freezer-like room.

“I called you here. It’s urgent.” He came forward again, his eyes darting every which way. “There is a Gud here, on my land.” I watch him as he darts towards his eggs, laying a hand on each one before looking back at me. “I fear he comes for my babies.” My heart stops.

“Why would he come for them?” I step forward and he slithers down to me again.

“They will imprint on and serve whoever touches them

    Despite being totally underqualified, I did as Bacudal instructed, and backed myself into the darkest corner I could find, stretching my ears out to listen. My heart was racing so hard in my chest, I was convinced it was going to burst through my ribcage.The minutes ticked by, and finally, I heard a crash. It sounded like the front door being kicked open. I could feel a bead of sweat rolling down my forehead despite the cold temperature. I swallowed thickly, trying to push my fear down as far as I could. I can do this. I can do this.A childish snicker from Bacudal followed by another slam, a crash. Footsteps coming up the stairs.“STOP!” Bacudal is screaming. Even though he knew the Gud was coming for his babies, I cou

    I force my eyes to move to the man who had just killed Bacudal. He's picked up the red eyed dragon by the tail and is looking at it upside down as it cries. His face is contorted in disgust as he glares at it's wiggling body.No. He’s touched it.But they’re not singing yet? It didn't count then, right?As soon as I think that, the two who remain in the nest start making a humming noise, a noise I can only assume is singing. I’d never seen dragons hatch before, so I had no idea what I was supposed to be listening for. This sounded close enough to me, though. I don’t think, just take a breath

    “Shit!” I sit up quickly, gasping and frantic as I try to figure out where I am.“My lady!”There were hands all over me, grabbing my face, touching me.“Back up!” I yell without really thinking, and everyone listens. I looked around frantically, trying to find out where I was. Was that real? Was Bacudal really dead? Where were his dragon babies? Had I saved them? My heart was pounding in my chest, and the back of my head hurt from where the man had grabbed a chunk of my hair. I reach back and can feel the tangles and knots. It was real. All that really did just happen.I was on the ground in the middle of the area in front of the common house. I was dresse

    We pushed the wedding back a day, to give the dragon babies time to get in. We didn’t want them landing in the middle of the ceremony. It was Erik’s idea, and I was a little surprised. But when he leaned into my ear and said he wanted me to be focused on nothing but him on our wedding night, it made sense again.He was just being a hornball. Meanwhile, all I could think about was how the hell I was supposed to raise dragons. Erik told me everyone would help, so they would really just need love from me. “Dragons need love?” I asked when he said that. He shrugs. “Unless you planned on using them for slaves, without love, a dragon is just a feral creature.” I shake my head. “I would never keep anything as a slave.” Erik smiles. “Then they will come to you for that. Eventually they will gain human forms, like Bacudal did. “I wonder who loved him…” I mused. “You already know the answer to that.” Erik had said. It was Sanju. I was sitting on the window ledge in Erik’s room right n

    “You are already attached.” Erik says as he stands in front of me a few minutes later. He’s placed Binny in the nest he made with pillows and blankets already, and is taking Bacus from my arms to do the same. “Go get comfy.” I nodded and pulled my pants off so I was just in a shirt and underwear. “You tired?” I ask Beatrix. She chirps, and yawns. “Of course you are. I’m proud of you for finding me.” I whisper, petting her cheek with one finger. She chirps again, and blinks heavily, leaning into me. I did not think dragons would be so affectionate. How could anyone make this thing into a slave? Erik was right, I was already getting attatched. Thinking of someone hurting them made rage bubble in my stomach.I climbed into the nest, waiting for Beatrix to hop off my shoulder and curl up with her siblings. I honestly had no idea if she was even a she, or if the other two were boys. I was just guessing. But she had pretty, almond shaped eyes with thick, short lashes that looked so feminin

    This is what these people qualify as a wedding dress? Thirty minutes later, and I still felt naked. The dress was mostly see through mesh, with swirls of plated gold on the boobs and crotch. Also the only thing preventing me from flashing the whole world. From the back, you could see everything. “There is nothing here.” I cry, looking desperately at Chepi. “I’m naked. Like legit.” My hair is wavy and soft, my makeup is light and natural, and the dress is non existent. “It’s a traditional Alva wedding dress.” “And everyone wears these?” I shriek. The other servants are cleaning up the mess from getting ready quickly, avoiding looking at me as I bitch about my dress. “Well, no. But you are quite beautiful. And it looks just as it should on you.” I sigh, shaking my head. “ I need underwear. Do I have white ones?” She nods, her eyes lighting up. I take the white stringy underwear she hands me a moment later. That's a bit better, I guess. Although I must admit, when I thought about

    I smiled against Erik's mouth at the yells of congratulations from the watching Alva at the top of the path. I pull away, resting my forehead against his and back up a little. I stared into his sea foam green eyes, thinking about how crazy this was that I did this, but also feeling... happy. As I've said, I hadn't any luck with men in the other world, so I wasn't sure I was ever even going to get married. To be standing here now, a crazy handsome man in front of me looking down like he was the lucky one? I couldn't help the excited skip in my heart.“What now?” I whisper, searching his eyes. I laugh and squeal when he suddenly picks up and throws me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. I can hear cheering and whooping, encouragment from all the watching Alva. At least no one was booing us, demanding to know why'd he'd marired some wanna be Mann from another world.“Now I get to show you what I’ve been building for you this week.” He flips me around once we start walking throu

    Despite my inexpierence, something about the nervous way Erik is looking at me makes me feel more bold than I ever thought I could be. I sit up on the edge of the bed and grab the back of his hair, gently pulling him down so I can whisper in his ear, “are you going to make love to me now?” I ask him softly. He grunts, and I feel his hands moving to push my mouth against his own, my words forcing him into action. I feel him moving to pick me up by the ass and move me to the center of the bed so he could hover over me. “I can't believe you are my wife.” He mutters, running a finger along the metal plates on my breast. His finger moves up the hem of the see through part of my dress above my boobs, and I gasp when I feel him dig through the material and start tearing it down the middle. “What are-” His hand over my mouth forced me to stop talking. “I want to see all of you, my flower. I want to lick you, everywhere.” I shudder into his arms, white hot pleasure shooting all the way dow

    “Ah, who do we have here?” The Gud asks, grinning and circling around Erik. “Is this your…”I see his eyes flick down to my ankle, and notice the flash of recognition in them when he spots my anklets. “He is your husband.” He confirms, turning back to Erik to look him up and down, like he was assessing him. “How did a weak little man like you snag yourself a goddess?” He taunts, obviously trying to get a reaction out of Erik.It works, because I can see Erik’s face contorting in anger and his hand moving to rest on the hilt of his sword. His grip on it clenches and unclenches, and I could imagine the internal debate he was probably having right now. I hadn’t really seen Erik in a real fight yet, just training and stuff like that. But something was telling me he was more than capable of holding his own, especially with that giant sword on his hip.“Why are you here?” Erik asks. I’m impressed, because I’m sure that wasn’t what he really wanted to say. He was exhibiting some serious self

    Red eyes that seemed to shrine through the shadows of the trees as he appeared before me. Tall and wide, an irritated expression on his face.Before me stood the Gud, the main person I was trying to stay away from currently. I’m pressed against the wall, my three dragons in front of me, like they were prepared to protect me. I knew they were still too young though, too small and inexperienced to be able to really do anything.“Hello, pretty little thing.” I freeze, turning my face away as he closes the distance between us, easily shoving Binny aside with his foot to stand in front of me. His hand reaches up, and grabs a strand of my hair. He starts wrapping it around his finger, looking at it like it fascinated him. I swallowed thickly, doing everything in my power to keep my voice steady. “Why are you here?” I ask, my face still turned away from him as he brought my strand of hair up to his face and smelled it. His eyes fluttered shut as he inhaled, and I glanced at him. He did ha

    Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting outside of me and Erik’s bedroom window, watching Binny and Bacus wrestle playfully while Beatrix sat on the ground with me, pressed against my leg. She was watching them too, her eyes narrowed on them like she was judging them. I had come here because I had been hoping Erik had stomped off to our room, and maybe I could try to make him a little less angry. I’d been pretty disappointed when he was nowhere to be found. I could’ve gone to his office where I’m sure he actually was, still working, but I didn’t really want to get in a fight with him right now, and it kind of felt like we were on the cusp of one.So I’d sat outside with my dragons alone, just enjoying the warm night breeze. I sighed, resting my chin on my knees. What a complicated life I’d straddled myself with. “You okay?” I jump a little at the sound of a voice suddenly, and turn to see Larkin lingering a few feet away, looking down at me. I cursed a little eternally, because he w

    “Thank you again, for doing this.” I say to Larkin as I lead him and his men to their prepared rooms a few hours later.They’d arrived just after the sun started setting, so I told them to rest for a little, clean up if they’d like, and we’d get dinner and drinks ready for them. Larkin looked a little surprised and… maybe a bit smug about the good treatment. I’m sure he was expecting something more along the lines of what Erik was going to do, shared rooms with no space. “Course. I gotta say, the dragons have really taken a liking to you.” When they’d first approached over the hill in a group, looking rather intimidating, the dragons had reacted to say the least. I’d been waiting with a few Alva and my dragons, and as soon as they’d locked onto them, they’d charged them head on, seemingly prepared to fight despite their immature size and age.They’d only stopped when I told them to, scolded them was more accurate. They’d shrunk and sat down by my feet, looking up at me with big sad e

    The next couple of days we spent preparing for Larkin and his men’s arrival. When I say we, I don’t mean Erik and I. It started when we’d addressed the servants together and he’d told them rather flippantly to prepare five rooms for the incoming guests. I remember the moment I realized Erik was not in fact going to be a grown up about this whole thing, and it would in fact be nothing but one giant headache for me.“He told you ten, plus him.” I had said to Erik. I hadn’t thought for a second he had forgotten; I knew he was being snotty about this whole thing still. Which was fine. I get it. But still. I had taken charge, told them no, we weren’t doing that, but to prepare eleven rooms for them. I had told them if we didn’t have enough room, our people could bunk together for a few nights. These people were guests, and coming of their own accord to help protect me. Erik at least had the decency to look bashful when I’d reminded him and the group of that fact. I’d told Erik to run al

    Erik and Larkin talked for another hour. I got bored halfway through and started organizing Erik’s desk. He had glanced at me curiously when I’d begun, but now I think I had mostly faded into the background of this conversation. Erik’s idea was we should go to where the remaining Gud species reside, confront them head on and get this over with. He said he didn’t want to wait around for him to attack, always looking over his shoulder. Maybe I was stereotyping here, but I found it interesting how Larkin argued against doing that. I guess from looking at them, you’d assume Larkin was the brute, the one who wanted to charge in head first, swords drawn, ready to die. Unfortunately for me, it seemed my new husband fit that role more accurately. Erik’s eyes were alight with passion and anger as he spoke of his plan to sneak onto their land. Then Larkin would point out the only idea Erik even has on what their territory looks like is based on a fifteen year old sketch of a map his father h

    “All good?” Erik asks as we walk inside and join him again. He really had been waiting close by; just past the entry way, standing there like he was a guard himself. As soon as I turned the corner, he had gently grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back against his side, like me not being there had been physically paining him. More like letting me talk to the one man who amounted as my ex, but I was trying not to focus on all the awkward tension rolling between the three of us.“Yup.” I nod and smile up at him, standing on tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek. He seemed to visibly relax, which was kind of cute. “He wants all of us to talk about the Gud now though.” I say, tilting my head to where Larkin was lingering behind us, awkwardly looking anywhere but at us.Erik nods. “Yes, yes we should. I would go as far to say it’s impossible to think he’s not hunting you.” His hand that had moved to wrap around my waist as he guided us all somewhere tightened a little at his words. I could te

    “I came down here for a reason other than breaking up your cat fight.” Erik calls after me as I walk away from him and back towards the main estate. “Someone is here for you.” I stop then, my heart jumping. “Who?” I ask, not turning to look at him yet. He’s quiet for a moment, then says, “Larkin. He wants to talk to you about Bacudal’s death.” I nod, and take a deep breath. “Okay, take me to him.” Erik walks beside me as we head towards the main estate together now. We don’t say anything at first, then I ask, “how did he… seem?” I glance at Erik.He sighs. “Tense. Angry, impatient. I worry another war with the Gud species over this.” I furrow my brow. Another? “Would you like me to remain with you while you talk?” He asks, looking down at me. I shake my head a little. “I feel like you being there won’t help his irritation any.” “Very well. I will remain close by, just in case he attempts to take you back with him again.” I can hear the edge in Erik’s voice when he talks about L

    "Can you believe her?” I huff as soon as Reni is out of earshot, turning to look at Erik. “I’m not entirely sure what just happened.” Erik says, looking at me carefully, like he was trying not to piss me off more. Smart man. “Your favorite and most trusted guard wants me to make my dragons into slaves, like she does to everyone else around here.” I say, gesturing around at nothing in particular. “I see.” Erik nods a little, looking up to where the dragons are now flying in a circle above me. They had come over when the tension had started between me and Reni. I almost wondered if they would’ve done anything had she returned my attack. “She was insulting me, implying I couldn’t handle my dragons properly, and just being a plain bitch.” I finish, crossing my arms angrily at the memory.“Perhaps you misunderstood what she was trying to get at…” he says, and I narrow my eyes at him. I take back what I said before. He wasn’t a smart man, he was a very dumb one. “Seriously? You’re goin
