TO BE MATED 1451
"Alana." A voice said as she felt a gently shaking*Alana.* The voice repeated inside her head, gently nudging her mind.She groaned. Her head felt like someone had used it for a drum."Are you okay?" He asked."Not so loud." She moaned as she tried to open her eyes. The light of the early morning sun viciously attacked her retinas and she slammed her eyelids shut. She clutched her stomach. It felt like a whole bowl of worms were rooting around in there."Are you okay?" He whispered."I think so." She said, but it turned out that opening her mouth again was a bad idea. She had just enough time to turn before she emptied her breakfast all over the ground. Thankfully, someone - probably Ethan - grabbed her hair and held it out of the way before she did so."Can you heal yourself?" He asked.She started shivering as she tried to focus her mana. It took some time, but she was finally able to start purging her body of whatever had knocked her out. It didn't work very well or quickly. It se

Falling in love & flying from fearKendra woke from her impromptu nap in her tiny airship feeling groggy. Her entire body ached and was sore like she'd done a full body workout. She stayed under the blanket, not wanting to face the real world just yet.It didn't make sense.That blasted dragon didn't make a lick of sense.The fact that shehadn't killed him didn't make any sense either. She'd had him dead to rights; close enough that she wouldn't miss and he couldn't have dodged, but far enough that he couldn't have charged her before she'd loosed the arrow.She had him.Why had she let him go?Why?Eventually she stopped letting her brain run in circles, pulled the blanket off and sat up. It was mid-morning and the sun was shining down. Its rays were casting intricate patterns on the ground below through the clouds and leaves. The river beneath her airship filled the air with the relaxing sound of running water. The birds were singing and small animals were sneaking up to the river to

Something wasn't right about this. She'd heard that men with multiple wives could encounter problems with them getting along, and this seemed like a built-in solution. However, that didn't make it agood solution. It raised all kinds of red flags for her. If she didn't know Ethan the way she did, she would've been very worried for his wives."Wow; you'll have three wives by the day's end." Alana mused."Scary thought." He agreed.Alana gave him a seductive look. Moments later he got a look of pure shock on his face. His head whipped around to look at the wood elf so fast that Rachel was surprised he didn't strain something."What happened to the innocent wood elf I married?" He wondered aloud."What did she-" Rachel began, but then stopped and shook her head. "No, never mind; I don't want to know."Alana looked at Rachel and opened her mouth, but then turned beet red and closed it again."Speak your mind Rachel." Ethan said. "I can tell there's something brewing in that brilliant brain

Thaltien harrumphed. "I suppose that's true... if the dragon is really gone.""Feel free to double check." Ethan said. "His lair isn't that far from here."Thaltien called several of his most trusted scouts forward, got directions, and dispatched them at speed on horses to verify Ethan's story."Until they return, Taloni is not to leave the camp." Thaltien said, then abruptly turned and walked away. Ethan watched him go, the scales on his shoulders seemed to have risen threateningly...Then he saw her.He seemed to relax and a wide smile crossed his face."Hi." The diminutive Fey said sheepishly."Hi." He replied, his disguise gem not hiding his true form from her eyes.She felt a small burst of happiness come over their fledgling bond. It made her heart melt and her loins shiver. She couldn't wait until tonight. Once those riders had returned and Thaltien had freed her, she planned to... to... Every part of her body screamed to do something, but she was only vaguely aware of what tha

"You fell for it Kendra." He shook his head. "How many times have we been tricked by dragons? How many times did their primal cunning put us - our whole team - in jeopardy? How many times have they proven to be snakes with wings, and just as devoted to the truth?""True, but you didn't see him.""Kendra, Mr. Damon and I have talked about this at length. There's clearly something about this dragon that's unusual. From the beginning, the reward was too large. I suspected there was something else going on; that his crimes were more serious than Lord Delmar would admit. I even entertained the idea that this dragon might be different for a time, but consider his actions. Everywhere this dragon goes, death and destruction follow.""True." She conceded."I know you're more religious than most in our line of work. Doesn't the Book of Light talk about how to tell the righteous from the wicked?""You will know them by their deeds." She quoted."Exactly." He nodded. "At a certain point, you have

The two of them spent the next several hours fussing over Taloni to make her look absolutely perfect for her wedding. Alana turned out to be quite good with fabric and thread. Prayla had conned one of the other girls in camp out of a white dress, which Alana altered to fit Taloni perfectly. She even made slits in the back for the Fey's wings.They spent a long time doing her hair and Prayla horse-traded her way into a little bit of makeup. It felt slightly foreign on the Fey teen's face, but once she saw herself in a mirror she thought it was all worth it."I look-" She stopped, unable to finish the sentence."Absolutely stunning." Alana finished.Her sun-kissed skin positively glowed. Part of her long, silky, honey-blonde hair was elegantly twisted into bun on top of her head, leaving the rest to flow down in such a way as to set off her face. She had always been described as 'cute' before, but this was the first time she actually felt beautiful.The dress accentuated her breasts, ma

She was too stunned, too shocked, and too amazed at what everyone had done to pay full attention. By the time Anthiel got to the vows, Prayla had to nudge her to make sure she was ready for them.Anthiel cleared her throat. "Do you Ethan, with full knowledge and consent; take this woman, Taloni, to be your wife in the covenant of marriage? Do you swear to keep and provide for her all of your days, committing to treat her with honor, love, and respect in all circumstances to the best of your ability, and allow only death to separate you?""I do." He gave her a wide smile. It reached his eyes and she knew it was genuine.Anthiel turned to Taloni. "Do you Taloni, with full knowledge and consent, give yourself to this man Ethan, to be his wife in the covenant of marriage? Do you swear to follow and obey him for all of your days, committing to give yourself only to him; and to the best of your ability treat him with honor, love, and respect in all circumstances, and allow only death to sep

"That sounds heavenly to me." The elf sighed again. "We could get so close and I could trust her with anything, and she could trust me. I would probably be friends with his other wives and we'd get along. But with this one, I could be truly close without fear of losing her to time, distance, or just that we'd drift apart."The smile on Alana's face said it all.She was trying to be calm, but Rachel could tell that this idea held incredible appeal for beautiful wood elf. She seemed to light up at the idea that she could always have a close friend who would never leave. Come to think of it, that didn't sound too bad to Rachel either."Does that make sense?" The chocolate-haired elf asked.Yeah, it does." The redhead conceded, having never considered that before.They were both silent for a moment while Rachel pondered it. It really didn't sound too bad. She still wasn't crazy about sharing a husband, but the ideal of having a friend who was - sort of - tied to you through marriage with
