All Chapters of Owned by the Dragons: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter Forty-TwoI didn’t know if I was supposed to ask him about his day. If this were a normal situation with someone that I was with, I would. With Lucian, I didn’t know if he would tell me or if he would even want me to ask. When we had lunch we had talked about shopping and the conversation was easier than I’d expected. I picked up one of the chicken tacos, deciding to just ask.“So, how was your day, Sir?” I asked, taking a bite. The tortillas were soft and fluffy and tasted homemade. Lucian’s taco was halfway to his mouth. He looked over at me. The barest hint of a smile curving on his lips. He rested a hand on my inner thigh. “It was good. Did you sleep well?”I nodded before swallowing. Remembering that he liked words. I must have made him nervous if he was asking the same question again. “Yeah, it was just interrupted.”The hint of a smile bloomed into a deeper one, making his dark eyes twinkle. His fingers tightened on my thigh. “There will be more interruptions like that

Chapter Forty-FourWilliamWhen we got back home, Kaji headed back to his and Kaida’s rooms. While I walked down the hallway. It made me long for our previous home. The big windows had let in so much light, and even though the darkness of the situation colored those memories.I longed to be able to look out the window and see the sky. Being here set my dragon on edge. Logically, I knew why Lucian had chosen this location for our den. It was safe and easily protected. That didn't make it any easier for me to accept. Deep down, I wanted to go off and find a place of my own. Somewhere where I wouldn't feel the need to fight all the time. I rolled my shoulders, trying to push away the thought. It would never happen. My family needed me and I needed them. My mind drifted to what Kaji had told me about him, Kaida, and Cora. I wondered how that was working for the two of them. Being around Cora and feeling the pull to her, but being unable to act. It was clear to me that my friend liked th

Chapter Forty-SixCassLucian closed the door behind us. He wrapped his arms around my waist. Pulling me against his body. When I tried to look at him, he tucked my head against his chest. Moving his hand in a circle in the middle of my back. It made me feel oddly safe to be like this with him. His chest rumbled. It was almost like a cat’s purr. I shifted so that my ear was against his chest. Closing my eyes, I let myself relax against him. It was okay if it was only for a moment, right?“William isn’t the youngest, but he’s still figuring things out. Please forgive him.” Lucian said, kissing the top of my head. I nodded. What else was I supposed to do? How was I supposed to be mad at him? I was forced into this situation with them to protect myself and my sister. It wasn’t like I had sought them out. I hadn’t known that dragons were real and even if I had, I very much doubted that I would have gone looking for them.Maybe when I was younger, but now. Now I had other responsibilit

Chapter Forty-EightOliver“How did training go?” Bash asked as we walked down the hallway towards my room. I had the feeling that he was headed to William’s room and that was why he was joining me. I looked over at him, giving him a fake smile. “Being used as a living punch bag is great. Want to trade?”“No, you shouldn’t have claimed her without asking.” “You’re one to talk,” I said, lifting an eyebrow as we turned a corner.He let out a chuckle, tucking his hands in his back pockets. “It’s hard to have just a taste. How do you feel about it?”I tightened my hand around the strap of Cassandra's bag, letting out a deep sigh. Leave it to Bash to get all emotional about us finding our mate. Next, he was going to want to braid each other's hair while we talked about our feelings. “Bash.”“I’m just asking, you're young. I know it’s a big step and one none of us was expecting, yet. Not that I’m complaining or anything. Cass is-” We stopped in front of the door to my room and I turned t

Chapter Fifty“It wasn’t her fault that they died, it was mine. I killed my parents.” She looked down at her hands clasped around the strap of the bag and suddenly it made sense. Why she would agree to do whatever Lucian wanted. Letting him claim her, letting Bash and I claim her. It wasn't just about keeping her sister safe. Our mate was punishing herself. “You can’t love me, you don’t know me. You don’t know what I’ve done.”“I killed them,” Cass said, her voice shaking as she tried to fight back a sob. “Oh, little bird,” Lucian said, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. She shook and I felt pain move through me just as sharp as before. I reached out, taking the strap of the bag from her hands and putting it on the floor beside the bed. Grabbing her hand, I held it in both of mine. The door creaked open behind us and I knew that Bash was looking in on her. Unable to stay away. “I killed them and now nothing is ever going to be right.” “Cass,” Lucian said, rubbing his hand u
