All Chapters of The Dragon Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I was up early.. showered and had dressed in a navy blue suit jacket with pencil skirt. A white silk blouse and navy and white blocked three inch heels. My hair braided and bunned at the nape of my neck.I felt Draco at the door, and opened it before he knocked. He grinned "Eager, are we?" I laughed "Why yes, Alpha! I plan on dazzling them with my magic!" He agreed, nodding "You're going to distract them with your beauty! They'll forget why they're there!"Adrian groaned "Will you two schtahhhp! It's too early to listen to your flirty banter! I need caffeine before I decapitate someone." I laughed and took his arm "Let's hurry, then.. Before you're running helter skelter through the corridors yelling Off with their Heads, like the Queen of Hearts!" Draco followed, laughing.We walked into the council hearing room.. and I groaned under my breath. I absolutely hate that all cases are heard consecutively..ours being after Sacred Moon.. yet, we all have to sit through every case. It's cou

I have nearly completed my documentation to file the lawsuits against Michaelson.. it's taken two months of hard work and long hours. I want to take this asshole down!Draco has been an absolute wonder! Helping organize depositions.. arranging testimony.. I keep telling him it's my job.. and he keeps telling me the sooner we file.. the sooner we can save the dragons.I have been on pins and needles this last week. It's been nearly six months since Draco rejected Amelia. She's been calling him at ungodly hours.. nearly every day. Anderson finally locked her up three days ago. Bitch gone crazy!Isla is running nearly every day. She's antsy and anxious. I'm annoyed with her because I have to struggle to concentrate. I think she's secretly smoking crack! I don't sleep.. she paces in my head all night. She carries on conversations with Asmodeus at all hours.I keep reminding her Draco may not be our second chance.. trying to prepare her, if he isn't. She doesn't care. I get it! I do! I kno

Aurora's POV ~Everything was in place for the ceremony to make me Luna.. and to say I was excited, would be an understatement. My dress was a simple ivory satin.. with a fitted bodice with a sweetheart neckline, and cap sleeves. It had a slit from the floor up to the top of my thigh. Connie did my hair.. pulling it into a viking styled do.. She had six thick french braids at the sides and top.. twisted into a single braid that resembled a dragon's tail.I wore no jewelry.. and my feet were bare. Caleb had arrived the night before and was waiting to walk me down the aisle. I smiled and said "Did they give you a difficult time when you asked to come?" He laughed "Oh sure! But I didn't ask them.. I told them I was coming. Amelia did the whole meltdown thing.. accusing me of betraying the family.. and the pack. I laughed as I walked out the door."I sighed and said "You know, I don't hate them anymore. Actually, I pity them! They will never know the joy of grandchildren from us. I can on

Third Person POV ~Draco and Aurora arrived at their honeymoon Chalet, on a secluded mountainside a hundred miles east of Sitka. He carried her over the threshold and seated her in front of the warm fireplace, while he retrieved their luggage.He walked over and tells her "Why don't you freshen up.. I will fix us some snacks.. would you like a drink?" She hmm'd and suggested something warm.. and ran up the stairs.She opened her suitcase and removed the black peignoir set she had secretly bought for this special night. After a quick shower, she slipped the sheer lace gown on.. and overlaid it with the silk robe. Brushed her waist length silver hair and left it loose.Walking barefoot down the staircase, she paused three steps from the bottom, as Draco turned to greet her. His eyes raked her entire visage, from head to toe, and back again.. as his eyes met hers. "I am such a lucky man! My love, you are breathtaking! So much more than my imagination allowed. I love you so, so much, my M

Caleb's POV ~I looked at the girl.. her face is the only thing identical to Aurora's. Nothing else. I can't help but wonder where everything went wrong with her. No one is born bad.. But, for the life of me.. I just don't know.I asked "Amelia? Can you tell me when you started resenting Aurora? I remember.. the two of you were glued at the hip. You used to complete each other's sentences.. I never saw one.. without the other. Then it changed. Why?"She glared at me.. "You should remember! The lamp!" Allison gasped, and I asked what? Allison said "You were seven. The girls were three. The antique lamp got broken.. Amelia said her sister did it. When we asked Aurora, she said she didn't. I thought she was lying.. and I punished her for lying."I gritted my teeth.. "Oh! I remember now. You didn't punish Aurora! You beat her bloody. A three year old.. you beat her, then you locked her in her closet. When I told you that Amelia had broken it.. and you beat the wrong kid.. you slapped me.
