Marcus’s large dragon with ivory colored scales circled the pack ground a few times trying to see if he could locate his daughter, but he couldn’t. However, he did notice a tall, muscular man with dark hair standing in front of the large pack house staring at him as if waiting for something. Marcus wondered if maybe the man was Ray Winston, the alpha of the pack.He had never met Ray, but he had heard a lot of things about the man. Ray was said to be a good and fair alpha, and his pack loved him. If all that was true, then Marcus could understand why Leah had fell for him. There was nothing more attractive to his daughter than a person who loved and protected their family. Marcus lowered his dragon to the ground, shifting to his human form right before he landed.Ray had noticed the dragon circling his lands a few moments ago. He didn’t want to alarm anyone in case this was another one of Leah’s clan members coming to make sure she was okay. So he just stood and watched the dragon, wa
Leah sat in her old living room on the couch next to her brother Gabriel, and watched as her father played games with Hannah and Carter. She had brought the children so that her father could spend some time getting to know them. It had been a while since he had really spent time with children, so she felt it was a good idea. And the pups had so much fun riding on her dragon’s back to get there. Leah had been nervous since no one has ever rode her dragon’s back before, and she was afraid they would fall off. For that reason, it ended up taking twice as long to get there than it usually would have had she been flying alone.She took a sip of her tea and turned to look at her brother. “So... tell me what you think about everything. Are you nervous to meet your intended?”Gabriel sighed. “A little bit, I guess. I just hope she doesn’t turn out to be as bad as Theo was. I don’t think I can run away from this no that I’ve commit myself to this.”Leah chuckled. “Yeah, and I don’t think Queen
Three months later... The large hall at the Sullivan mansion was beautifully decorated in emerald green and white with gold accents. Francesca had helped decorate the place similarly to how she had set up for Ray and Leah’s mating ceremony. White flowers and emerald green table cloths adorned each table. The center pieces that had been used for their mating ceremony were being reused. And there were gold plated fairy lights hung around the room. Needless to say, the place looked stunning. Leah and Ray both beamed for the camera as they got their wedding pictures taken. They started with pictures by themselves, then pictures as a couple, and lastly they took pictures with friends and family. Leah’s favorites were the pictures of them with Hannah and the pictures of her father with both Hannah and Carter. She could already picture framing them and hanging them on their living room wall. The wedding ceremony had been beautiful. A part of Leah had been a little disappointed that her fam
Leah Sullivan had never wanted to slap someone so bad! She sat in one of the two black leather armchairs across from her father’s large mahogany desk, and stared at her father, King Marcus. The only outward sign that she was anything other than the calm, unaffected facade she presented was a slightly raised eyebrow. She was pissed, but she would not show it. She was a dragon princess; the future queen and ruler of the Sullivan clan. She had to stay in complete control of her emotions. To show emotion is to show weakness, and a true leader must never show weakness. It leaves you too vulnerable to the enemy. Her father taught her that when she was twelve years old, and she took the lesson to heart. Right at this moment, her father was the enemy and she would not show him weakness. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly before addressing her father. “I'm sorry. I think I heard you incorrectly. Did you just say you were giving me to the Blackwell clan?” King Marcus returned her s
Shutting the office door behind her, Leah turned around and came face to face with her younger brother, Gabriel, leaning against the opposite wall. Tall, with broad shoulders and muscles on top of his muscles, Gabriel could be very intimidating when he chose to be, even more so than her father. But Leah knew that Gabriel was always there for her, and that even if she was in the wrong he would still have her back. They were very close. Leah considered Gabriel to be her best friend. She started walking down the long hall, away from her father's office, towards the stairs leading to the second floor of the house where her bedroom was located. Gabriel fell into step next to her, patiently waiting for Leah to begin talking. Leah sighed. "So, I guess you heard all of that. Huh?" Gabriel chuckled softly. "You mean the part where our father is basically pimping you out to our enemy, or the part where you and he almost came to blows?" Leah rolled her eyes. "Yeah, all of that." Gabriel wr
Climbing the stairs, she made her way to her suite of rooms. She went outside onto her balcony and climbed the scaffold to get to the roof of her family's home where a launch pad sat ready for use. Although "home" was kind of an understatement. It was more like a mansion, with several suites of rooms needed to house Leah, her father, and all four of her brothers, plus their future mates and children. That's not even including the guest suites and the staff wing. The place was huge, but Leah often felt stifled. She wanted her own place, something just big enough for her, her future mate and any children they may have. She'd prefer not to have her father and brothers breathing down her neck all the time. While she loved her family, sometimes she just needed some space. Leah stood in the center of the launch pad and closed her eyes. She reached inside herself where she knew her dragon waited, ready to be unleashed. As the first prickle of awareness began, she relaxed and let the chang
Leah looked up at the sound of the deep, masculine voice, and into a pair of the deepest blue eyes she had ever seen. The man was huge, reminding her of a lumberjack. And, when he smiled, a dimple appeared in his right cheek, eyes sparkling with mischief. Leah was tall for a woman at 5'11", but she could tell she would probably only come up to the man's broad chest. He had to be well over 6 ½’, maybe closer to 7’. She knew right away by his scent that he wasn’t a dragon. Dragons had a distinct scent, like firewood mixed with something that uniquely identifies each individual. This man did not have the scent of firewood at all. He smelled like apple pie with an underlying scent that Leah recognized as wolf. She returned the man's smile, a slight blush darkening her cheeks. "Sorry. They're just really good." The man chuckled. "Is that seat taken?" he asked, pointing to the chair next to the one Leah was occupying. Leah shook her head. "Not at all." "I'm Ray Winston." He eased his
Leah looked up in shock when she heard Ray start to growl. His blue eyes were glowing, and his fangs were sticking out beneath the snarl of his top lip. She didn't know why he was so angry. She could only assume it was on her behalf. It was kind of sweet. No one besides her father and brothers had ever stuck up for her. Being an alpha and a princess meant that she was usually the one sticking up for others. Leah reached over and placed her hand against of Ray's cheek. He turned his face into her hand, and placed a kiss against her palm. The gesture sent a tingling sensation up Leah's arm, and straight to her clit. She didn't know what it was about this man, but something inside her was telling her that he was special, and she fully agreed. Ray nuzzled her hand a little longer, then turned to stare into her eyes, shaking his head vehemently. "You are not mating with anyone except me!" Leah tried to pull her hand back, but Ray wouldn't let go. She sighed, and gave up trying to take
