Chapter Seven

Malachai

Murderer. Arrogant. Entitled.

Somehow, it had escaped Malachai’s notice that people thought about dragons like they did. No, that wasn’t true. He’d known, he just hadn’t cared. What was the envy of those beneath him?

Then he’d fallen in love with Johnny, a human. His mate. The one person that he could not possibly live without. That had made him see things that he never had bothered to even look for before.

The look in Peter’s eyes when he’d spat out the word ‘dragon’, that stuck with him. He knew he wouldn’t be able to forget, and that it mattered.

The storm lasted through the night, but the next morning dawned clear, with not a cloud in the bright blue sky. Johnny slept, but Malachai didn’t, so he was ready to go as soon as Johnny woke up.

The look in his mate’s eyes was sort of heartbreaking. Johnny was scared of him. Maybe he even should be. Their relationship had taken damage the previous day, and some of Johnny’s delusions had been stripped away.

It meant something, though, that Johnny was still there. That he woke up and silently pulled on his clothes, then walked over to Malachai, clearly fully intending to continue to accompany him. Maybe it was just that Johnny had no choice in the matter, since they were, after all, in the middle of the mountains, but that wasn’t the sense that Malachai was getting from him.

It seemed like they both wanted to make it work, despite what had happened. So that was something. No, that was everything. Malachai shifted into his dragon form, and Johnny, without question, climbed back up onto his back and held on for the takeoff.

“Take us there, love,” Johnny murmured, and if Malachai had been able to smile in his dragon form, he would have done so. Love. It meant a lot to hear that one word coming from his mate. It always did, but even more so now.

He took off, and as he did, he could swear that he felt eyes on him. Peter, no doubt, checking to make sure that he had left. It seemed that the bear didn’t want them as permanent neighbors, and really, Malachai wasn’t even sure he could blame him.

Malachai had been acting to protect his mate, and he would do the same thing again in a second. Only maybe he would think a little bit more about how he protected Johnny and their baby.

He’d been so wrapped up in his rage and protectiveness that he hadn’t even noticed that the bear that had attacked them was a bear shifter and not just a grizzly. That, he should have noticed, and he was really sort of ashamed of himself for the whole thing.

This was so new to him. Having a mate, well, he’d heard stories about how protective it could make a dragon (and probably other shifters, too) but he’d never experienced it himself. He’d never felt responsible for anything or anyone other than himself, and maybe his brothers. It was going to be a balancing act.
