Three Days Till I'm Free of the Dragon King
"Aurora, don't you know that ordinary humans aren't allowed to participate in the trials? I may be human, but I'm the Dragon Queen now. As for you…"
Erik scowled and moved forward to shield Clara behind him. "Enough of this. There's a limit to how far you can take your nonsense. These are combat trials between dragons. Every dragon that competes represents their own tribe. Did you use the fact that you're my soul-bonded mate to sneak your way in?"
I exhaled slowly, squared my shoulders, and stood tall. "I earned my place by fighting my way through the selection rounds."
The words were barely out of my mouth when Erik let out a sharp, derisive laugh, his tone growing more and more irritated.
