Chapter Thirty-Six: Kaine
“I don’t understand,” Syrra murmurs.
I glance sideways at her. “What are you talking about?”
She shrugs and shakes her head. “I just don’t get it. They took your brother and his mate only to return them safe and sound months later? It doesn’t make any sense.”
“Safe and sound? You’re kidding right?” I scoff.
“Well I mean—”
“They’re covered in open torture wounds and new scars, they look like they haven’t had food or water since they were taken, not to mention the fact that neither of them have woken up since they got back.”
She sighs, putting her hand over mine. “I’m sorry Kaine, it’s just that after everything Jada said, I was almost expecting them to be dead when we finally found them. The angels are a powerful people and we had no way of even attempting a rescue. I didn’t have a lot of hope so this seeme

They’re still gone. I know exactly where they are and I can see them again but they might as well be gone.“I feel like this is actually worse,” I mumble.“What’s actually worse?”I whip around to see one of the women that brought Jaxon and Ash back. I growl in frustration as I turn back towards the fire burning in front of me. “Since when is this spot a tourist attraction?” I grumble under my breath.“My apologies Fara, I didn’t mean to bother you. My name is Aurelia, I just thought you might want to know what happened to your brothers so Lyza told me where you were.”My eyes widen a little. “They’re not my brothers.”She shrugs. “Perhaps not by blood,” she mutters.I feel my annoyance wane slightly and don’t say another word as she sits down on the rock about a meter away. I continue to sit in silence as the woman tells me what happ
Mate to the King Chapter Thirty-Eight: Jaxon
My eyes flutter open and blurry colors and bright lights bombard me. It takes several minutes for my eyes to adjust; the strain of it almost makes me fall back asleep. I frown when I realize there is hardly any light at all aside from the red glow that fills the room.It's been quite a while since I was here, but I still recognize it as the healer's home. I feel pressure on my ribs and jerk a little in shock. I look down and my heart stops.Ash lays curled up beside me, his body warm against mine.I suddenly can't breathe. What the fuck is going on? I growl at Azazel.What do you mean? she murmurs.Don't play dumb! I remember everything that happened clear as day—Jax your memory may not be perfect after your trauma—Don't try to tell me that's not what happened! I snarl. Ash was laying dead in my arms and I can still feel the ice in my chest so don't you dare tell me I don't remember!She is silent for a moment, then growls weakly. I could not endure it a second time, she whimpers.W
Mate to the King Chapter One: Jaxon
I twirl the knife around in my hand, admiring the craftmanship. The blade and handle are one solid piece of carved obsidian. It is so sharp, it can cut through armor as easily as flesh."I still can't believe you beat me."I roll my eyes.Here it comes. "And why is that?" I sigh."You're fucking the dragon hunter," he growls and I raise my eyebrow."Would you like me to fuck you instead?"His eyes fly wide and he clenches his jaw before quickly turning away to pick up his sword and fix his armor. I chuckle as I turn to Ash beside me. "I bet he'd enjoy it."He shakes his head. "He wouldn't be able to take it."I grin before turning back to Lance. "Please explain to me how who I sleep with makes any difference in whether or not I can beat you.""Well uh―I don't uh―I guess it uh, it doesn't really," he mumbles."Then why would you say something like that?" I ask. I can see Ash trying not to laugh out of the co
Mate to the King Chapter Two: Ash
My eyes snap open and I jerk awake to yelling. My heart pounds and I start to panic at the sight of the stone surrounding me. "No no no please no," I stammer, bile rising in my throat."Ash baby it's okay, you're safe," I hear a familiar voice say. A strong arm curls around me and my anxiety starts to fade. It takes me a moment to realize it is Jaxon's chest beneath my head.My hands don't stop shaking but my heart starts to slow as he runs his fingers through my hair and whispers softly in my ear. I smile a little when I hear Cassie purring."I think I'm okay now," I murmur."I'm going to kill him," Jax growls when we hear his brother shout again, just outside the walls. "Here let me up so I can kick his ass."I groan. "But you're so warm," I murmur, sliding my arms around his waist.He chuckles. "If I don't go now, he's going to come in here.""He will not, he knows we're both here he wouldn't just walk in," I scoff.Jaxon sn
Mate to the King Chapter Three: Syrra
"This doesn't make any sense."I peer at my mate with furrowed brows. "You're kidding right?"He makes a face at me. "What?""You're holding it upside down."He squints at it then flips it over. "Oh. Yeah this makes a lot more sense."I roll my eyes and turn back to the maps on the wall. "Why are you reading that? Do you even know what a chimera is?" I ask."Well no but I wanted to practice my Latin, and this was the first thing in Latin that I found on your bookshelf."I turn around and tilt my head sharply. "Kaine that's not in Latin.""What?""That's Greek."He frowns at it. "Really?""Gods, you can't possibly be Queen Zari's son," I tease, shaking my head in amusement."You know maybe I should just stick with listening to you read," he chuckles, tossing the book on the table beside the bed."I don't think I'll be able to teach you much considering you clearly didn't learn anything from you
Mate to the King Chapter Four: Taylor
"I hate you so much. I literally asked for one thing.""Look I'm sorry but I have to work, I can ask someone to―""I don't want other people here; they just annoy me and then refuse to leave.""You're kidding right?""Do I look like I'm fucking kidding?"I cover my mouth with my hands to stifle my laugh. Shawn squeezes my shoulder a little and I notice he has an amused smile on his face."Fine. Love you too babe."Angel walks into the living room a moment later, sighing heavily. "Honestly, she's lucky I had to deal with a pregnant Lyza on two separate occasions otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to put up with her for more than a few minutes," she mutters."Is she really that bad?" I ask.She snorts. "She just yelled at me because she can't give herself a pedicure and I didn't bring her the pizza she never actually asked for."I shake my head with a small chuckle. "Zella is the most patient, level-headed person
Mate to the King Chapter Five: Lyzaria
My gaze snaps up to the man standing by the door. His eyes are full of concern. "What?" I ask."Are you alright?""I'm fine," I mutter, taking a deep breath to clear my thoughts."So, what should I do about Nathan and Fara?" He asks."What happened this time?""Well the stories sound a little embellished but basically Nathan destroyed something of Fara's and she retaliated by dislocating one of his shoulders and breaking both his arms . . . and his nose . . . and possibly a few fingers."I roll my eyes with a heavy sigh. "Fara is going to kill someone one of these days," I mutter."She reminds me of you when you were young," he chuckles.The corner of my lip curls into a tiny half smile. "I did have a temper, didn't I?""I remember you killing more than one of the dragons in your litter too.""Three actually. I had a very large litter and most of them were older than me so I was a target when we trained together.
Mate to the King Chapter Six: Mika
"Why does she have to be so fucking stubborn?"Kandra sighs. "She's not stubborn, she just loyal and honorable.""Well I wish she wasn't so loyal and honorable," I mutter.She frowns at me. "You know those are supposed to be admirable traits—""Not if they're going to get her killed," I growl.She sighs again. "She's a lot stronger than you give her credit for. There is a really good chance she will be able to survive without a mate.""It is extremely rare for a dragon to live longer than a century without a mate and it is unheard of for a dragon to survive longer than a few decades after losing one.""It hasn't happened before but that doesn't mean it can't ever happen."I let out a heavy breath. "I'm just worried, she's not exactly off to a strong start. She sat in a silent vigil for her mate and daughter for three days until she finally passed out and her sons brought her to her room, and she hasn't left the palace sin
