บททั้งหมดของ His Mate Her Savior: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

I wake up slowly, feeling drunk but not hungover. I’m warm and comfortable and the house smells like buttery maple syrup. It must be winter and I’m snuggled in my warm bed.I hear chuckling from behind me.“Is it time to get up, mom?” I ask.“I am definitely NOT your mother, little mate,” a deep voice says in my ear, causing me to jolt as I feel warm lips press against my shoulder. My BARE shoulder.My eyes flash open and I look around, not recognizing anything.I try to leap out of bed, only to be held by a steel trap. When I look down, I realize the steel trap is an arm. A man’s arm.“Madelyn? What do you remember?” the deep voice is soft and soothing. “You’re safe. You’re with us, Cayd and Baron,” he says softly.“I’m naked,” I squeak.“Mhmm, yes you are. Do you remember last night?” he purrs, running his nose through my hair.“I…” Do I remember last night? We’d been at the falls, then Cayd had carried me back to the packhouse. We’d gone to his room, I’d been ready to have sex final

I’ve never felt so daring as I do with Cayd. There’s just something about him. It’s not what he says, it’s how he acts. His words are great, but I’ve learned not to trust those. His actions though and those of his family are hard to resist. I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. I don’t think this many people, siblings, sibling mates, parents, and in-laws would all say the same thing if it wasn’t true.Add to that, Cayd is just, well…Cayd. As perfect as he is on the outside and wow does he have a great body, he’s even better on the inside.“Hey, ready for breakfast? Xander and Maeve are here. I asked them to bring your clothes hoping that you’d agree to go to Araphyra.”“You’re really worried about me,” I say, watching him.“It’s not so much that I’m worried about you here. No one would ever get past me to get to you. Even if they did, they’d also have to get past Rich and Emlyn, and that will never happen.”“So, why don’t we stay here?” I ask.“Two reasons,” he says, stepping up to m

There’s a lot happening all at once and it’s overwhelming. First, the warm light that King Aolis ignited in my body was strange, but somehow comforting. It felt like something inside of me settled. It’s a feeling I haven’t had since my parents died.Then there was Lily growling and Baron growling as well. Since I wasn’t sure what was going on, I’d focused on King Aolis who didn’t seem perturbed by all the growling, except he did keep a tight hold on his mate.And let’s not get started on the fact that Leprechauns are real! I seriously thought that was a myth, but here one is and apparently, he spouts off prophecies. Again, I didn’t know those existed anywhere except books and movies.When Aolis takes his hand out of mine, the light fades and I feel the loss of the warmth, although the tingling sensation of being settled remains.“What does that mean, there’s a prophecy about me?” I ask, looking at the group. Everyone except Cayd is looking at me with something close to awe.“The prophe

I’d read the prophecy and then read it again. The moment I started to read it, the same feeling of warmth, comfort, and familiarity that I’d felt when Aolis lit the light in my body started again.“Did the prophecy call to you, Madelyn?” Aolis asks me. This time, I know exactly what he means.“Yes,” I whisper. I feel Cayd’s arm tighten around me.“What does this mean? What does this prophecy mean? You’re saying Madelyn is a dragon?” Cayd asks.“The prophecy is a bit harder to decipher. But this,” Buppig says, slapping a book on the table that is so large and heavy that it makes the table shake as dust rises from the book. “This is the history of the Drache line of dragons.”“The Drache line?” I ask.“There were many lines of dragons, clans if you will. Drache was one. A very ancient, very powerful dragon line,” Aolis says.“They were known as the protectors, lass. Just like that line in the prophecy, ‘she who protects’. It makes sense if you’re descended from the Drache line of dragons

Every minute that I’m here, I feel more and more like I belong. There’s a connectedness, a familiarity with the creatures here in Araphyra and it seems like the older they are, the more connected I feel to them.And now, there’s another prophecy about me? This is crazy. I feel like everywhere I turn, someone is telling me that I belong here. I know that GoldMoon and Lucero did. Both of them asked me, in my mind, if I was staying. Both were sad when I said no. Cayd doesn’t live here and I wouldn’t want to stay here without him, even if it does have more of a feeling of home than I’ve had since my parents died.And that’s something else that’s happening the longer we’re here. We haven’t even been here an entire day yet and my feelings towards Cayd are getting very strong, very quickly. It’s almost like, well…magic. Maybe here, where I can touch the magic I didn't know I had, I can feel the mate bond that Cayd feels. If this is what it feels like for him, then I can understand why he says
