Chapter 8

“What the fuck are we supposed to do now?” Rhys paced the confines of the sitting room of Aeran’s suite.

Aeran sat beside Cristina as she lay unconscious on the couch, where Rhys had placed her after scooping her up into his arms and carrying her up the stairs. “It changes nothing for me.” There was an edge of censure in his tone. “Cristina isn’t responsible for her father’s actions.” He smoothed back the shiny curtain of her hair from the pallor of her cheeks.

“It changes nothing in that regard for me either,” his brother dismissed impatiently. “Cristina is still and will remain our mate. That wasn’t what I was talking about. Until we deal with Vasile, Cristina will remain in great danger. The question is, are we of more help to her if we don’t complete the mating with her immediately, and so keep the majority of our attention concentrated on keeping her safe, or will she be more protected as our claimed mate?”

Aeran understood his brother’s concern. For at least three days after the initial claiming bite, the dragon shifters were totally concentrated on their fated mate, repeating that claiming again and again until the bond was unbreakable.

Shit, they hadn’t even told Cristina yet about the mating barb on their cocks. It only appeared during sex with a mate and would lock them inside her until their dragon believed his seed had taken root. Dylan, their healer, had now developed a serum that would prevent conception until their mate was ready to produce offspring, but that wouldn’t stop the barb from locking on as he and Rhys fucked and claimed Cristina until they were all thoroughly exhausted.

A period in time when only pleasuring their mate would exist for both of them.

Admittedly, it would also ensure they never left Cristina’s side, but the mating frenzy was also a dangerous driving force that could leave her and them vulnerable to attack. Their dragons would rip to shreds anyone who tried to harm their mate, but the time it took to break through the haze of the mating fever might mean they were too late to save her.

Aeran had sensed through his bond with Rhys that both their emotions when they learned who Cristina really was, Fescaru’s daughter and not his mistress, were a mixture of relief and anger. The former because she had never been the lover of the much older man, the latter because she hadn’t chosen to share that knowledge with them herself.

Trust Nikolai to know. That wily bastard seemed to know everything that happened within the Markovic territory. Although, to give the Russian his due, he had seemed apologetic rather than censorious when he revealed the truth of Cristina’s identity to them. The Russian had also come to Wales, along with several of his men, to help them protect Cristina.

Cristina Fescaru.

Okay, so that wasn’t the name on her birth certificate or her passport, but that was exactly who she was: Cezar Fescaru’s daughter.

But more importantly, she was Rhys and Aeran’s mate.
