Thirty-Nine
Marigold
My other senses came back by increments as I shoved aside my momentary astonishment at hearing Asher in my mind.
The first thing I registered was Rias’s rigid dick digging into my back, but then Asher was pressing his firm lips onto mine, coaxing my mouth open with his tongue when my reaction was too slow for his liking.
I was still dazed by the free-floating feeling hanging around in my head, but I detected the faint trace of my own arousal with Ash’s onslaught. Bringing my arms around, I went to pull him closer to me, my libido quickly spiking with the attention he bestowed on me.
Be that as it may, he tore himself away before I could get a good grip, the heat at my back disappearing with him, but Rias drew my focus next as he confidently grasped my chin, angling my head in the right position to allow him to thoroughly plunder my mouth.
The piercing nip he’d led with was soothed the instant his irresistible flavor t

Asher Suddenly, I was dragged back into awareness, my eyes flying open as I scanned our surroundings for the hazard that was lying in wait, but, to my relief, I was left emptyhanded with my hasty search. The sky was dark, but my powerful senses picked up on the gradual lightening towards the east through the opening at the front of the shelter before my attention was drawn to my mate. Mari’s thrashing around in the constricted space between Rias and myself was the obvious culprit for what had brought me out of the deep sleep that I’d managed to succumb to, the fatigue finally catching up to me when my shield was at its lowest. It’d been a while since I had felt secure enough to completely let my guard down, but the odds of something occurring here on our island were so low that they weren’t worth keeping me up all night now that Knox and his cronies were gone. That wasn’t even taking into consideration Rias’s strength and keen senses.

Asher The flight back took more than a few hours, and I used a fraction of the time to contact Jace for a brief update, knowing I would be able to make up for the energy expended somewhere along the way. Even so, I stalled, not reaching out to my beta until after Mari had fallen into a deep slumber, but I didn’t dare put off the task for another time as much as the thought tempted me. Rias’s fear about any tricks Mari’s father might try to pull was at the forefront of my mind as I spoke directly into Jace’s head a while later, hoping nothing had happened in our absence. {Hey, man. Do you have any updates for me? Any signs of trouble?} {Everything has been quiet from outside threats if that’s what you mean. Hazel on the other hand…} Jace’s immediate reply soothed some of my nerves about the safety of our pack, but the latter half of his monologue was not looking promising based on the little he’d begun with before trail

Marigold My mind was a muddled mess, a combination of the recent orgasm, exhaustion, and now whatever the hell was going on with my sister being added to the mix, all coalescing at once as I struggled to keep up. Be that as it may, I didn’t let Iris’s pissy mood affect the high I was still riding from my soulmate’s clever command of my body, keeping the smile affixed to my face as I turned towards Maya, asking, “What’s her problem?” Maya rolled her eyes, smirking as she replied, “She’s just exhibiting the typical teen behavior, throwing a fit when she doesn’t get her way.” I didn’t miss Nicolai leaning up against the counter behind my friend as he conversed with my mates, but I also didn’t want to make it obvious that I was assessing him. Asher had been more worried about the male than he’d cared to let on, not to mention my own concern before Maya had come into the picture, so his attendance was noted by more than just me.

Marigold I could feel my shoulders creeping higher until they were practically covering my ears, my anxiety through the roof as we ventured forth to deal with my mother. Yay me. Rias’s presence helped me keep putting one foot in front of the other until we were standing outside the room that had been assigned to her. Wincing as her shrill voice carried through the air, I hurried in when I realized she was inside berating some poor soul. I registered Rias following right behind me, but my eyes were already scanning the room, assessing what kind of damage my mother had caused this time. The pair of healers my eyes alighted on looked harried, as if they’d been engaged with my mother for a while, and I noticed them promptly skittering out of the room with the distraction our entrance provided, the scissors I eyed clutched in the female’s hands as they went telling me everything I needed to know. “I really wish you wouldn’t yell at

Marigold Rias told the others in the room what was occurring, it taking me a ridiculous amount of time to realize we were the only two with the knowledge of what was happening both in the air and on the ground thanks to our mating bond. I didn’t miss the transitory nod he’d exchanged with Nicolai, and I knew something passed between him and his mother before he ensconced me within his arms, stealing my lips in a soul-rending kiss. His husky voice invaded my mind as I watched him walk out the door, my feet latched to the ground beneath my feet. {Stay safe, beautiful. Don’t leave the pack house until Ash or I give you the all-clear.} I hated the distance between my mates and I, but I knew my family was safe here in Annie’s capable hands. I was confident she could annihilate any enemy should the need arise, but I had faith in my mates’ and packs’ abilities to stave off the intrusion. For a single second, I wondered if I s

Zacharias My dragon roared to life within me, slashing to be set free with the impending danger heading our way, and I was already ripping my clothes off as I left Mari, racing towards the clearing so that I could take to the air. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind, there was no coincidence about the timing of the stray rogues’ and Keith’s assault, and there was nothing that was going to convince me otherwise. As I flew over the land, scanning my surroundings for any signs of intruders, my sharp eyes picked up on movement towards the north. Utilizing my shrewd senses, I zeroed in on the figures winding their way through the trees, realizing these were the rogues who were trying to infiltrate our territory after another minute of observation. I took note of their activity, making sure I didn’t miss anything. Honestly, there didn’t seem to be many of them, but I shot out a warning with the intel to Asher anyway while keeping the ma
Mated to the Alpha of the East Forty-Six
Zacharias Mari was practically falling asleep in her food, but I knew she would resist any attempt I made to take her up to bed, so I didn’t bother wasting the effort. We’d been holding off on strategizing while everyone devoured the food someone had thoughtfully prepared beforehand, but I could see Ruby and my mom were finishing up their meals now, both of them slipping off a few minutes later. Nicolai and Maya had drifted towards the living room, but Asher and I had remained at the kitchen island with our mate sandwiched between us while she picked at her food. There wasn’t much conversation between anyone given the somber mood surrounding us, but I wasn’t idle in the silence. I may have botched rescuing Iris before those bastards stole away with her, but I was doing my damnedest to make up for it now. As it so happened, I had males positioned in the Western Territory still, keeping an eye on what the Western Clan of dragons
Mated to the Alpha of the East Forty-Seven
Marigold My mind was a million miles away as I went through the motions of getting ready for our flight the next morning, every waking thought reminding me that I’d failed to keep Iris safe. Rias and Asher had taken care of packing any supplies we might need, so I’d only been responsible for making sure I dressed appropriately for the trek to the Western Province. More than once, my mates tried to pull me out of my own head, their delectable fragrances and compelling personalities enough to give me a fleeting reprieve from the recurring thoughts, but I was left with an abundance of free time while they ran around, tying up loose ends before we set off. Annie and Ruby joined us for breakfast, but no one was in a talkative mood with the daunting next couple of days ahead of us. Hence, it was a quiet affair before we said our goodbyes. Nevertheless, Annie hurried forward before I could follow my mates out the door a while later, stopping me in my tracks as she wrapped a heavy coat ar
