Galen

Laying there, staring up into the darkness, I can't bring myself to fall asleep. No matter how many times I close my eyes, I just can't drift off. My mind won't turn off, my dragon won't stop wrestling inside me. It had taken all of my self-control not to grab Katia when she'd left early, to drag her back into my tent and not let her go. Even now, I want to cross the small space between our tents and bring her back here.

But no matter how badly my dragon wants to possess her, I refuse to give in to the instincts. This is my true mate, the woman I'm destined to spend the rest of my life with. I don't want to force her into anything she truly doesn't want, no matter how I may feel about her.

She wants it though! My dragon screams inside me. If she didn't want it, would she have just come crawling into your tent in the middle of the night?

It's hard to argue with that, but Katia hadn't been lying when she said she had responsibilities here, ones she can't just walk away from. Besides, what about Surem? Isn't she supposed to be engaged to him? If she is, then why had she come to me? Does she not want to wed him?

Gods above, I'm so confused.

At this rate, I figure, I'm destined to spend the entire night awake and in turmoil.

"Help!" The shout has me sitting up in an instance. All of my senses go on high alert as I search for the source of the yelling "Wake up! Help!"

It's Ezra shouting, and I grab a pair of pants, pulling them on as I stumble from my tent. My head is on a swivel as I look for him. My hands have already shifted into claws, my dragon preparing for battle. Had the Fae done something to Ezra? He'd been flirting with one of them, and I wouldn't put it passed Surem to decide to intervene, forcefully.

The others all come running out of their tent, along with Katia. The entire camp seems to come alive, fires are reignited. Ezra continues to shout until he comes stumbling over to us, hands up against his head. He drops to his knees and starts gasping for air. The way he's holding the right side of his head tells me he's injured, but I can't see the injury.

Then Ezra lets out a loud growl, his head shifting into that of his dragon for a moment before going back to normal. I wince, knowing the injury must've been bad for him to require a partial shift. In an instant, we're surrounding him, helping him to his feet. I can feel the rage emanating off everyone, wanting revenge against whoever hurt our friend.

The crowd of Fae that gathered is talking anxiously now, though their words all seem to blend together, and I can't make them out.

Katia appears at my side. I take in a deep breath, my dragon roaring up inside me.
