Theo gritted his teeth before slamming his fist down on the large mahogany desk that separated himself from King Sullivan. This was not going the way he had planned. The king was currently sitting across from him glaring at him like he was the one who had done something wrong, when in fact it was that whore of a daughter of his!Theo growled loudly. “Did you hear what I just said?! I saw your daughter with my own eyes! She was making out with a damn wolf when she is supposed to be engaged to me!”King Marcus narrowed his eyes at Theo and leaned forward, steepling his fingers together on top of his desk. “I heard exactly what you just said, and I will deal with my daughter later. Right now I want to discuss what happened between you two in my home yesterday.”Theo gulped nervously, deciding to play dumb. Innocent until proven guilty. “I have no idea what you are talking about.”King Marcus roared loudly, slamming his own fist on the desks so hard it cracked, making Theo jump. “Don’t pl

Ray sighed wistfully. He was missing his mate already. Leah had said she needed to go home to speak with her father. Ray had offered to go with her, but she declined his offer. She said that this was something she needed to do on her own. She needed to tell her father about their mating. She said that she felt bad for going behind her father’s back, and that the least she could do was to meet with him face to face and explain what was going on. Ray understood where she was coming from, and so he didn’t argue further about her going by herself.Ray kissed her deeply and saw her off, watching her dragon form fly away until he could no longer see her. He turned and headed to where the construction team were working on the new pack houses. He walked over to where his nephew, Carter, stood holding some tools for Jagger and ruffled the pup’s hair. “Hey, kiddo.”Carter smiled adoringly up at his uncle. “Hey, Uncle Ray.” He looked around as if searching for someone, and Ray chuckled knowingl

Leah was beyond pissed. Royally pissed, pun intended. She had left her childhood home in almost a depressed state. She had wanted nothing more than to go to Ray and have him hold her in his arms and make the pain of leaving her family go away. Little could she have imagined that she would arrive at the pack territory only to see that it was being destroyed by one of her kind, a dragon!The shock she first experience upon seeing the flames eating their way through all the pack houses and buildings gave way to pure unadulterated anger as she saw her mate being flung from the back of the large dragon and into the side of one of the buildings that just so happened to still be standing. Oh, hell no!With a loud roar full of all the emotions that she had been feeling for the past couple of hours, Leah charged at the black dragon. The black dragon looked up in surprise to see Leah’s large red dragon aiming straight for it. Inside the black dragon, Theo seethed with his own anger and jealous

Gabriel stood on the training field watching the warriors train, or at least that is what he was supposed to be doing. In truth, his mind was elsewhere. He had been suspicious when his sister had told him that she had an appointment to go to, but he never suspected that she was running off to have a secret mating ceremony. There was a large part of him that was pissed at her. Not because she got mated to someone who wasn’t from the Blackwell clan. She never wanted to be involved in this whole treaty situation in the first place, and she certainly hadn’t wanted to be forced to get married. No, he was pissed because she had hid something this huge from him. They were supposed to be super close, like two peas in a pod. The fact that she had kept this from him saddened him. It made him feel like they weren’t as close as he had thought they were. They used to tell each other everything, all their deepest, darkest secrets. Now, he couldn’t understand why she would keep something so importan

The four large male dragons circled the area a few more times before making their descent. The pack watched in awe as the four slowly made their way down, shifting to human right before hitting the ground. They stood silently staring at Leah, neither them nor she saying a word. Ray studied the four males thoughtfully, wondering who they were. Three of them were tall, with blond hair and grey eyes. They looked so alike that they could have been triplets. The fourth one, however, was slightly taller than the rest, with red hair and grey eyes. Ray paused for a moment. While the first three males looked different, the fourth one looked an awful lot like Leah. Ray sighed in relief. These must be her brothers.Leah confirmed Ray’s thoughts. “Everyone, these are my brothers.” She pointed to the three blonds, pointing them out one by one. “This is Max. Then there’s Tristan, and Axel.” Last she pointed to the red haired man. “And last but not least, there’s Gabriel.”While Leah was introducin
