CHAPTER 81
Adrian’s words are simple, and Elysian can’t help the tears that well up in her eyes. She can feel plainly the love behind his words, and the entire situation is completely overwhelming for her.
She reaches over and grabs his hand again, smiling softly to herself as the car falls into a
comfortable silence for the remainder of the ride. Elysian is grateful, in those moments, that Adrian isn’t half as loud or crazy as he seems when he’s around Vincent or Taylor.
Once they finally pull into the driveway of the breaking dawn pack, Elysian lets out a shaky breath.
“Promise me you won’t let them hurt me, Adrian, please.” It’s a half-whisper, and it comes out like a whimpering plea. Adrian can feel the fear that has settled into

Once they pull into their driveway, Adrian and Cade go straight into the packhouse, knowing that it would be their job to brief the others about what had happened. Lorcan refuses to let Elysian down, carrying her into the house as Taylor opens the doors for the two of them.“I’ll keep her in my room tonight, to make sure she’s okay. You go make sure Adrian's alright.”Lorcan speaks softly to Taylor when they reach the living room, giving the man a soft smile.“You know what to do if you need anything,” Taylor says simply, returning Lorcan’s soft smile as he gently rubs Elysian’s back. She hadn’t put the remaining barriers back up in her mind, so both boys knew that Elysian was absolutely exhausted and just trying to fi

When Elysian eventually woke up again, she actually felt well-rested, though she realized very quickly that she was curled into Vincent’s side instead of Lorcan’s, and both Taylor and Lorcan were nowhere to be found.For a while, Elysian refuses to move, instead of alternating between staring up at Vincent’s beautiful face as he sleeps, and looking around the room at this or that. Elysian never really went into any of the boy’s rooms, feeling like it was an invasion of their privacy. She really was terrified of overstepping her boundaries, because she didn’t feel like she deserved to be around them in the first place.It was a fucked up place, her mind, and she had been grateful to be able to hide the strangethoughts she had from them. Some part of her knew that she wouldn’t ever

Lorcan didn’t usually interrupt anyone, especially not when they were doing things with their bedroom door closed. He knew she was reading some book, but he figured she wouldn’t mind just one little interruption, so he knocked on her door quickly before opening it up, his gummy smile on full display.He was expecting to find her at her desk reading some books. What he found was Elysian curled up in her bed, a pillow hugged to her chest, brow furrowed in apparent concentration. He couldn’t help the fond feeling that rose in his chest as he watched the girl squirm slightly in her sleep, her face relaxing as he fully entered the room.In the back of his mind, he knew that Elysian must have been dreaming about something because of the way she twitched in her sleep, but he didn’t think of looking into he

“If you want me to prove myself, you’re going to have to verbally say so darling. I need you to know that this is your decision and I would never force you into anything.” Lorcan’s face and tone lose any trace of cocky superiority as adoration fills his features. As much as he would have loved to just continue doing what he had been and say fuck it to the consequences, he would never do something like that. He wouldn’t have been able to live with himself if he did.Elysian surprises Lorcan by raising her eyes to meet his own, seeming to look directly into his soul as her eyes search his. For what, he couldn’t have known, but whatever it was she seemed to have found.“Lorcan, if you don’t prove to me that you’re better than that dream, I might just have to go find someone else who will.” Her voice took

For the next few weeks, things go more smoothly than any of them could have predicted. Elysian grew ever closer to the boys, now freely asking for kisses from whoever was closest to her constantly, the fear of rejection that had previously frozen her falling away as she fell deeper into the trap that was their love.Elysian barely noticed the passing of time, settling completely into the routine of the home in such a way the weeks just melted away, a mix of happy times that saturated everything in a positive light.It was during this golden time that Elysian was able to finally get the go-ahead to read more of her favorite book, finally, she was about to finish reading her favorite book.Needless to say, the girl was completely over the moon when she found out. She screamed and

As soon as Lorcan is introduced to Lorcan’s friend, Issac, the four settle into the conversation about this or that. It seemed that Vincent was also friends with Issac and Elysian was more than content to snack on the food that Lorcan had offered her while listening to the conversation. Secretly, she had always loved to watch people, so she almost completely tuned the boys out as she watched people come and go.It was because of this that Elysian almost missed when Issac asked her a question, her ears growing hot as she asked him to repeat the question. Issac smiles and laughs, nudging Lorcan with his elbow as he repeats the question.“What’s it like living with the boys? I know how rowdy they can get, after all.” Issac turns hisfull attention to Elysian, giving her a smile that has Elysian
TAMING THE DRAGON CHAPTER 88
When Issac pulls into the driveway of the mansion, Jacob is waiting outside with the other boys, barking out instructions in a tone that has Issac looking to help in whatever way he can immediately.They move as a unit, Taylor rushing to the passenger's seat and lifting Elysian out of the vehicle while Jacob does the same thing to Vincent. Adrian hops right into the car, helping to guide Lorcan out and onto Cade before he steps out of the vehicle, settling into the man’s side and walking in almost complete coordination with Cadde to get Lorcan inside as quickly as possible.Again Taylor holds open a door for the trail of people before he heads over to Issac, wrapping an arm around the man’s shoulders and leading him into the house. Quietly, he speaks to the shell-shocked man, assuring him that everyone would be

“You do so much more than anyone could ever ask you to. You’re so caring, so kind. You’re like the older brother I always wanted but never got. You’ve always seemed to show your love for us through the small things you do, and I couldn’t thank you more for it. Never forget how much we love you, how much I love you, yeah?”Jacob pulls away from the small girl before him, wiping his eyes before bringing his hands up to cup her face. “You’re one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, you know that? Thank you, Elysian.” He softly kisses the top of her head before looking down at her again.They then move and head out to the area where the others are. Elysian quickly finds herself resting back in the middle bed, guilt rising in her chest as she looks at the severity of the wounds that cover Lorcan. Adrian is
