Chapter Eighteen

Dolyn

Vanni was the alpha, of that I had no doubt. The wildness of Ashley’s begging for his cock, for more of his cum had ripped a hole clear through me, so damn huge, I couldn’t breathe. Squashing the emotions—because both would be aware of them if I didn’t hold onto my mind—hurt like fucking hell.

All I had hoped upon first seeing their images from Dakota’s touch, all I had expected, regardless of the mere drop of dragonblood in the veins, crumbled to the ground beneath my feet.

My dragon stretched and sighed at the sight of my alpha and female sleeping, his cock still buried inside her as she lay atop him, but I couldn’t join them. My legs itched to move, the need for distance so damn great my throat swelled shut.

A growl rumbled through me, but I ignored him.

Need to leave, I whispered in my head. I can’t do this again. Can’t submit myself to someone when I should be alpha.

Accept.

“I can’t.” I shook my head, still whispering, my hands fisted to keep from touching them both as I longed to do.

Turning away was worse than ripping off a scale—pushing the slider to my small balcony wide open was even worse. I cloaked myself without hesitation, stepped out into the cooler air, sliding the door shut quietly behind me. Fall had finally arrived, darkness already trying to smother the city’s lights.

I leaped off the balcony without thought as my dragon screamed at me, shifting and shooting back upward, tears ripping from my eyes—same as I’d done one week prior. Flapping hard, I shot westward, faster than any man-made plane could fly.

Numbness coated my heart as the energy between my alpha and female faded in the distance I put between us.

I had given myself completely to Elijah over fifty years earlier, submitting my body, heart, and soul. Allowing another male such power over me… Shudders rippled my scales in the brisk wind as the sky ahead began to lighten, the human time changes slipping past as I sped westward.

Mountains rose in the distance, rising from the land in attempts to be one with the sky above, shedding grass, tree, and soil in their vain hope. Wanting more than what destiny, what fate, held them to.

My chest tightened as the thought mirrored my life. A beautiful attempt at freedom, to choose what one wanted, what one longed for.

What could never be.

Dolyn Kemmerly, one of the last full-blooded dragon shifters on earth was nothing more than a beta, the conduit between alpha and female.

I couldn’t submit myself, my royal line, to a subservient life to a mostly human man. I wouldn’t.

Snow already covered the Tetons, a breathtaking sight I hadn’t seen in too long. Memories slammed into me as I gazed upon my family’s home, the pull of blood, the pull of familiarity like a soothing balm to my fucked-up head. Even my dragon purred since jetting away from New York as visions of first flying around the ancient mountains filled my mind.
