~ Axel ~ The last thing I want to do was to lose my control in front of Rayna, and I almost did just that at our dinner. At our first dinner which I planned to end in a romantic way: greet her a goodnight, kiss her, walk her back to her suit, or maybe have her spend the night in my bed, whichever applied.Instead, I dismissed her in the damn abrupt and coldest way.I knew I should have kept my jealousy in check, but the lid just blew off after thinking about Rayna and her experience with the alpha king of the werewolves. I saw red, literally, with my eyes quickly changing colors. My skin erupted in goosebumps and I almost released my scales if I didn't stop it just in time.The moment she exited the main

~ Rayna ~All the pieces of the puzzle finally fitted into place. The clues I got from the very first moment Mr. Windstorm and I met to the present all suggested him as the dragon. I would be stupid if I didn't figure that out this early in my employment with him.It was a mind-blowing revelation, and honestly, I was still coming to terms with it, but I was sure of one thing: I wanted to see this dragon change into the man

~ Axel ~ I felt Rayna's desire overflowing and throbbing on the surface of her skin. She wanted me, that was all the confirmation I needed, and I grabbed this opportunity right away."A union between a dragon and its mate should be done only after the mating ceremony, Rayna. I'm thinking I should ditch this tradition to fulfill your request," I stated, slowly unzipping her nightdress so that her breasts would spill for me.She didn't stop me. Instead, she encouraged more. "Ditch it, Axel. I want you now."This was the power of the mate bond working inside us, but I could tell she desired me as much as I desired her. We were simply two consenting adults lusting for each other, wanting to feel each other's

~ Axel ~ “Ah, there you are!” Kelan, the younger of the twins, exclaimed once I opened the main door and invited them inside my chamber.“Finally, you show yourself,” Declan added, frowning a little, but he entered the receiving room anyway before Kelan could do so.“We didn’t mean to keep you both waiting,” I told them while closing the door. They quickly claimed the sectional sofa opposite the unlit fireplace, stretched their spindly legs, and bored their icy eyes on me.“Where is your mate, Su-Anateph?” Kelan answered. He was the happy-go-lucky of the two, with electric blue hair and obvious dimples. Declan was the opposite. His disposition was always gloomy, and he was easy to point out because of his metallic red hair.I stopped near the door to my bedroom and opened it.“Kelan, Declan, I want you to meet, Rayna Chase, my mate.”Rayna

~ Rayna ~Eating lunch with good-looking CEOs? Yeah, I expected it would feel overwhelming, but surprisingly, it wasn’t. They all looked like normal people munching their food, talking about menial stuff, and even pulling jokes—at least in Kelan’s case. Not in a single moment did I feel judged or discriminated. And not in a single moment was our lunch dull. I wondered if this was also the same when they hold their business meetings.Er...probably not.
