KennaDuring dinner, everyone welcomes Yhendorn back to the Academy. I’m so used to him being in my life, so used to growing up here at the Academy, that I never realized just how much the others here love and respect him.Now, I’m seeing things from a different perspective. I’m a claimed dragon, a woman, a mate, and soon I’ll be a mother. Maybe it’s those things, or maybe it’s that I am finally accepting my role as a queen. Whatever it is, I can see the near reverence that the dragons, shifters, and other elves have for my mate. It makes me even more proud that he’s mine.I growl possessively, causing everyone to step away from my mate.Without missing a beat, he pulls me into his arms, kisses the top of my head, and continues his conversations with others.I look up at him in awe. How am I falling even more in love with him? Is this normal? It feels like my dragon’s heart is expanding with every moment I spend with him.‘Ask your mother, or Zephyr, or Kaylani. They’ll know if it’s no
**Trigger Warning: Issues of violence and sexual abuseLaikenI stand by as Nylion talks to Merellion on the phone. Based on what I hear in his mind, he doesn’t seem to realize that I can hear their conversation clearly. Even if I couldn’t hear it with my ears, I’d be able to ‘hear’ what they are talking about because I’m in his mind.“What do you mean you’re a king?” Nylion asks.He looks at me and I don’t like the look. I already know what he’s thinking, since I’m in his head. If Merellien can become a king because he has a dragon, then so can he.I hate the thought of killing. But honestly, if he wants to take out the king and prince who are responsible for my enslavement to this man, I don’t care as much as I should.Nylion isn’t terrible as far as riders go. He’s happy to bring me a never-ending supply of elves to have sex with, as long as he can watch. He seems to get off on me humping the women he offers to me. Because I’m in his mind, I know he likes seeing these prissy elves g
YhendornWe spend the next two days preparing to return to the Academy. I task Merethyl with researching the previous elvish wars, specifically The Great Clash. That was a war with elf against elf, something we’re on the precipice of facing again.“We should ask Phoenix too,” Kenna says. “Remember, she was there during The Great Clash.”I rub my hand over my forehead, feeling the strain of what is to come.I feel warm, sure hands wrap around me. I press my hands to my mate’s. “I’m okay,” I say.As much as I love my mate in my mind and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world, I forget that she now feels when I’m stressed. In the past, I was able to hide the worst of it from her. Now, there is no hiding anything from my dragon.“You’re not okay. You’re trying to pretend with me and you can’t any longer, Yhen.”I feel her press her lips to my shoulder blade.“We’re a team, right? That’s what you want. You want us to be equals, but how can we be equals if you continue to treat me li
KennaYhendorn is still holding me in his arms when my mother, Kaylani, and Ajax come flying in fast. My father drops off my mother’s back before the three dragons shift and land gracefully on the ground.“What happened?” my father says. He obviously wants to pull me into his arms, but Yhendorn hasn’t let go og me yet.“King Arbane,” I say.“The one whose son you killed?” my mother asks.“Yes."“You’re a claimed dragon. What did he want?” Ajax asks.I look at Yhendorn, knowing that this caused my usually very calm mate to light up with fire. He grits his teeth, so I answer.“He wanted Yhen to punish me for killing his son,” I say.Four dragons and one Lycan turn to look at my mate.“Of course he said no,” I assure them. Yes, I’d had my own moment of fear that Yhen might decide that Arbane was right, but thankfully, the anger I’d felt towards me from Yhen was anger that I didn’t trust him, even for a moment. I won’t make that mistake again. My mate needs and wants me to trust him, alway
YhendornI can’t believe my mate is pregnant with our child. Okay, we have practically had sex non-stop for a week and a half, so I should have been more prepared. All I can say is that being with Kenna made me lose my mind. After I made sure the volcano wasn’t going to hurt anyone, I lost track of time, space, and anything that didn’t involve Kenna. Watching her come while feeling her body contract around mine and watching her scales shining brightly just under her skin have become my favorite things. Feeling her in my mind is beyond any pleasure I could have ever imagined. It was explosion after explosion of pleasure, each one better than the last, each one sealing us more tightly together as mates.“Yhen, how are we getting out of here? I mean, I guess we can climb,” my dragon says.After ‘celebrating’ for two more days, two days of non-stop orgasms that ended with both of us collapsing exhausted, we’re back on the ledge looking at the magma that is still threatening to erupt again
KennaIt’s been a week of nothing but food, sleep, and Yhen. The food was more for him than me, but because he was eating, I ate as well. Of course, we found new, fun ways to eat our food off of each other and then things went back to me just enjoying Yhen.I’ve heard the other mates, particularly Avani, but also my father, talk about how they knock Merethyl and my mother out with their love-making. I really didn’t think it would be possible for Yhen to accomplish that, but I was wrong. He never actually knocked me out, but that’s only because we're so mentally connected that he knew I was getting close. If he’d wanted to, he could have.I’ve been high on his love all week and I never want it to end. And as regimented and responsible as my mate is, he’s extended our time away several days because he, too, has been lost in the high of our love. Neither of us has wanted it to end. It’s been incredible, but now, we have to get back.Besides needing to tell our troupe that their king has o
