Chapter Nine

New York was loud. It was smelly. It was busy. And there were far too many people in it.

He’d had Alexa pass through the realm gate and arrange for a limo to be waiting for them at the Robert Moore Water Tower—their usual meeting spot. The company was more than accustomed to the unusual request, and as they were shifters, very few questions were ever asked anyway.

He’d managed to settle the House business for a week at least, and had arranged with Alexa to visit him if anything cropped up that was urgent.

Truth was, he was in two minds about how long they’d be staying in this realm.

On the one hand, he hated how dependent his mate was on him. Not for his sake, but hers. It killed her to be so reliant. And though, as she’d called it, the ‘learning curve’ had done a great deal for him in teaching him to think and care for her above his own needs, it was time for the use of her legs to return before she truly went crazy and started blaming him for it.

On the other hand, the longer it took for the bond to settle, the deeper it meant their connection was. Which could only ever be something to celebrate...

The bond was a funny thing. A few days of incapacitation and the dragon’s marking would appear like a tattoo on a leman’s body.

A week, and the markings were deeply etched. More like an engraving than a tattoo.

More than a week, which is where they were heading now, the marking would appear embossed. Like she had developed scales.

While he thought of her comfort above his own desires, the knowledge that their connection was so strong was more than pleasing to him.

It made his heart weep.

After being alone for so long, after having to sleep half his life away in the misery of not knowing if the Mother would ever grant him a leman, she’d gifted him Mia.

Not just any leman, but one who was cleaved to the other half of his soul.

“You’ve gone quiet,” she murmured softly as they drove down the highway, finally heading toward Manhattan island.

“I’m just thinking,” he told her, smiling at her and reaching over to clasp their hands.

She squeezed his fingers and shared a smile with him. Her beauty stunned him, at that moment. Her porcelain skin glimmered in the moonlight that peeked in and out of the windows. Her eyes glittered and sparkled in the depths too.

As she looked at him, she murmured, “I promise, you’ll like Tribeca. And we’ll do whatever we can to make you comfortable.”

He firmed his lips. “It matters not, dearling. We will spend half our time here and half our time in the other realm. This way, both our House and coven’s needs will be addressed.”

She cocked a brow. “As easy as that?”

He grinned. “Aye.”

“I can tell you don’t like it here.”

“What gave it away?”

“The way you’re scowling out the window.” She blew out a breath. “I have to admit; the other realm certainly has a beauty of its own.
