Done being captivated with others finding their mates, I wanted my own. It didn’t take me long to find them. The bond between us was still blocked somehow, yet I could feel them. Following that feeling, I recognized their dragon forms right away.

This was my first time seeing all three together and able to get a good look at them without the threat of a Fae battle distracting me. Surprisingly, Landers was the biggest dragon but only just barely. He was red, his scales looked like they were on fire in the sunlight. He stood tall just ahead of the other two, clearly proud with his head held high as he looked down at the group gathering around them.

I bit back my anger seeing all the other riders getting closer to them. It was harder than I expected to fight back the urge to yank the riders all back by their hair and put more distance between them and my men.

Philit must have sensed me first. He was standing too, but he wasn’t basking in the show. In fact, he looked irritated with the way his tail moved behind him, threatening to swipe anyone who came too near. That was probably the only reason why no one had approached them yet. His scales were so dark that they could be mistaken as black at night, but during the day, the sun lit them up. As I stared at them, it was like I was swimming in a cool, comforting ocean.

Philit moved, slipping more in front of Zilon. My heart plummeted as I stared at the green dragon. He was lying down, curled into himself. My instincts told me he was exhausted. I moved closer, the urge to be at his side so profound, I almost choked on it. I needed to make him feel better, to take away what was causing his suffering.

That was when I realized how closely their wings were held to their bodies and my stomach dropped. Could they even fly? Didn’t the king restrain their wings? I worried at my lips, hating that they couldn’t do the one thing they were meant to do—fly through the skies proudly.

Was that why Philit seemed so miserable?

I quickly slipped through the crowd that was slowly breaking up as people grouped up by dragons. As I got closer, I was able to feel more. Their irritation. Their worry. Their anger and frustration. They didn’t want to be restrained, but they weren’t in a position to fight back. I got it. I was in the same boat. It was like the one place that was supposed to help us feel whole and free was instead keeping us captive.

“No, you don’t.” A heavy hand landed on my shoulder, stilling me. “Rayna, you don’t get to be with them.” His gruff voice sent a shiver of fear down my spine as I turned to face Captain Corniz, my neck aching as I looked up at him. Was he taller than before?

His wings were tight against his back, framing his imposing frame.
