Chapter Four

Erica had been given a warrior’s service, turned to ash with dragon’s breath and scattered in Syh’s winds as any other Preor who’d lost their life in battle. Her fight had simply been of a different type. It hadn’t been one of claws, fangs, or blades, but with heart and body.

Now, back at Preor Tower once more, he wondered what his mate hid from him. She’d been keeping a secret from the moment of Eric’s birth and he kept his mouth shut until they were alone in their suite that evening. Though not alone since she still hadn’t released Eric into anyone else’s care.

Which made his unease grow. She was very protective of the human boy, possessive even. More than one of the human-Preor mates offered to care for him, but Khaza brushed them all away. As if she was his dam and wouldn’t tolerate…

Chashan’s heartbeat stuttered and then picked up an uneven beat. He watched his mate pad through their apartment, moving with careful, determined strides toward one of their empty bedrooms. Except, when he caught up with her, he realized it was not empty. It’d been decorated—swathed in soft colors and furniture meant to contain dragonlets.

She held a bottle in her hand and lowered into a chair that moved—an Earth rok-ing chair. She cradled Eric close and eased the tip of the bottle past his lips. The male sucked greedily, eyes closed and pleased snuffles escaping his small body.

Then his mate… his mate lowered her head and kissed the boy’s forehead, whispering against his soft skin. “Eat well, shaa senvai. Grow big and strong like your sire.”

Chashan closed his eyes for a moment and sought their connection. He made sense of her swirling emotions and the snippets of her thoughts he managed to catch.

“Khaza?” he rasped. “What…”

She didn’t raise her head when she spoke to him. “I made a vow, shaa kouvi. As Erica gave him life and I saw her thoughts, I made a bloodvow that I would raise him as my son. I am his dam and you are his sire.”

Why had he not seen the change in her before? Because he was too broken by the loss of the female’s life. He’d been too ensnared by duty to see his mate’s behavior.

“He is human, Khaza.” He went to her, slowly and carefully so he didn’t disturb the bay-bee. He knelt at her feet, bringing him closer to his mate’s bowed head and the feeding infant. “He is governed by human laws. We cannot simply keep him.”

“His dam wished to become a Preor mate. Her mate would have claimed him as his own and he would have become a Preor dragonlet.” She finally lifted her eyes to him. “He is now as he would have been had his dam lived.”

Chashan narrowed his eyes. “I do not like it when you make sense.”

That earned him a grin, a sparkle of happiness that’d been missing for… It’d been gone from the moment they realized her heat had not ended with a dragonlet in her womb.
