Alpha Dragon Chapter 102
Tahr For the next two weeks, I keep Pepper so busy she falls into bed each night and sleeps soundly. I know this because her ankle is now tied to mine and I feel every move she makes. Betty has found a young man to help her serve me. Mikael, the young man who delivered the rope, irritates me to no end. Pepper acts shy around him and I don't like the way he looks at her. He is far too friendly. And even though I know in my heart that I should allow their feelings to blossom, I cannot. Pepper is mine. It's entirely unreasonable. She deserves a human to grow old with and one who makes her happy. I don't care! Pepper shakes her head causing the headpiece she's never without to tilt to one side. My frustration rises. I've grown to dislike the thing and want to see her beauty uncovered. I want to slide my hand over the smoothness of her scalp and her large expressive eyes to close in delicious anticipation of where I will touch her next. As I stare at her, a bewildered expression replace

Pepper I'm flying. The wind slides across my skin and leaves goose bumps behind. I'm not cold, just excited. Tahr turns sharply and a heavy gust pries my headpiece up a bit. I pull it back down and keep a tight hold on the saddle with one hand. Tahr can't see my smile or my tears of happiness. I'm flying and this is miraculous. As Tahr flies me through the clouds, a heavy ache settles between my shoulder blades and reminds me of the discomfort from the last time I jumped from the tower. It's not enough to ruin the moment, though. I bend over and press my finger against one of Tahr's scales. Very slowly, I spell out, in very large letters, a word. HAPPY Tahr sighs inside my head and I think he understands. I've never been so happy in my entire life. I hug his neck before writing again. FREE This time his response is a low groan. He understands the word, but he can't possibly understand all that it means to me. I've been trapped my whole life. Trapped with no voice, in a land with

TahrYes, I'm being punished. The Goddess must be dancing with glee at my predicament. I want Pepper so badly it hurts. All the hand jobs in the world won't take care of my erection. I recite the reasons why I cannot have Pepper and "I want her" replaces each one. My want is not important. Pepper is.She's not Sarn's wolf shifter. They suffered for love and their pain was unavoidable. I'm not Sarn. I would never give up my dragon and I'm not in love. I'm infatuated and turned on. I'm dragon and these are things I can control.There is a solution to this dilemma. It pains me greatly and I grind my teeth, but my decision is made. We've been back from the lake for an hour and Pepper is in the library reading. I send a telepathic message, "Mikael, Betty, come to my rooms immediately."I pace while waiting for their arrival. The longer I wait the more my irritation grows. I kick the chair and watch dispassionately as it topples over. I glance up and Pepper is standing in the doorway."I'm

PepperMy anger burns deep. How dare Tahr give me away? Mikael trailed behind me and Betty until I made it very clear that if Mikael touched me again, I would cut off his thing. I pointed right at it so he understood exactly what my hands were saying. I meant it too. And after I cut his thing off, Tahr's would be the next one on the chopping block.The damned dragon.I didn't even want Betty touching me and I shrugged her off when she tried to comfort me. I went to my old, empty room and sat on the bare floor while I stewed. Within a very short time I had a plan. My stubborn resolve kept me from returning to Tahr and removing his thing anyway. If I died this night, the dragon could live with the guilt. He deserved it for being so stupid. And to think he once called me an idiot. He loves me, he just doesn't deserve me. The Goddess has shown me the way and this will prove it.All noise in the human tower stopped an hour ago and still I wait. I'm not afraid. If I die, so be it. Death is
Alpha Dragon Chapter 106
PepperThe laughter of the two young dragons doesn't help in the least."See, Cantor, I told you she can't hurt us. She doesn't even know how to land without skinning her nose," the larger red dragon says to the blue one. "Who are you?" the red dragon asks with an air of superiority."I'm Pepper," I finally say after another fire-breathing cough."You are Uncle Tahr's mate?" he asks in disbelief."No, not his mate. I'm just a dragon. A very special dragon," I say because I remember what he said the first time I met him."Hmm." A thin trail of smoke leaves his nostrils. "I am Ashrac and this is Cantor. Our fathers have gone to Tahr's because they felt the presence of a new dragon and they think Tahr has mated. That is the only way for a female to transcend, so I think you have your facts wrong."Oh really. "I am not mated to Tahr and I don't even like him. I'm sorry that he is your uncle, but he's a jerk and don't wish to ever see him again."The younger dragon peeks around Ashrac. "Wh

TahrShe'll return soon. She is mine and will not be able to stay away. Plus she has nowhere to go. I will give her this time of adjustment because I need time to think too.I'm still in shock that she transcended. Even more so that she's yellow. It makes no sense. She should be silver like me-majestic silver to represent the royal silver dragons. Bastian's mate is red and Laryn's is blue-end of story. Or it should be. My mate is yellow.An hour later, I haven't rationalized what has happened and I'm still waiting. I sense when Bastian and Laryn cross my realm and hope they are able to supply answers."Where is she and who is she?" Bastian asks as soon as he's within telepathic range."Tahr, you sneaky devil, you did it," Laryn adds.They will have a field day with this, so I wait for them to land. I beckon them inside with a wave of my hand and stomp angrily into my room. I look back and forth between my friends and grit my teeth as I explain, "Pepper left me as soon as she transcend

PepperClaws scraping against the outer perch wake me from dreams of kissing Tahr. I can feel his magic and know he has come for me. Tahr's magic is slightly different from Ashrac's and Ashrac's is different from Cantor. There's no time to process my feelings right now because a large silver head pokes through the window.I have a voice now, though I'm not yet ready to communicate with croaky words while I learn to use it properly. Telepathic words are much easier. "What are you doing here, Tahr?" I manage to keep my tone level without strong emotion coming through.His head disappears and I feel a more intense burst of magic as he shifts. He enters naked. I can't talk to him this way. I crave touching him. I want to throw myself into his arms. I do exactly the opposite and jump from the bed and march into Sarn's garment room. I storm out and toss a dusty pair of pants at the wide-eyed dunderhead."You've seen me unclothed," he says in consternation while his eyes travel over every in
Alpha Dragon Chapter 109
TahrI miss Pepper terribly. She has stayed away for a month. Bastian and Laryn informed me that their mates are helping her. I should be angry, but I'm actually relieved. I don't want Pepper alone.My thoughts are all over the place. I miss Meagan so much and I will admit to missing Pepper just as badly. It makes no sense. She has been in my life for such a short time.It's after midnight and I've given up trying to sleep. Each night is longer than the last and I can't control my heart any longer. I need my mate. I know I hurt her. I'm hoping that charcoaling my face and giving her time has dispelled some of her anger. A broken heart is different. I saw it in her eyes and I have no idea how to fix it.I gave her away.She won't come to me so I go to her. Pepper doesn't fly out of Sarn's castle as I half expect. I shift on the perch and enter the bedroom. She's sleeping. I stay still and take time to admire her beauty. Her headpiece is waiting at home and for just a moment I wish I'd
