Chapter 9

Chase stared up at the roof. Sleep had been slow coming to him, and fitful when it had come. He normally woke up early anyway, to get his chores out of the way before it became too hot, but today it wasn’t even light.

Yet he knew he wasn’t going to go back to sleep.

He was surprised he’d managed to get to sleep in the first place.

He’d thought his life became confusing enough when Lisa told him about the dragons. When he’d volunteered to wake one of their princesses.

That was nothing compared to how the way he felt about Wayrian was complicating his life.

The existence of dragons and waking a princess were interesting, a little exciting, and maybe even a little nerve wracking.

The way he felt about Wayrian was terrifying.

The fact that he had been almost tempted to give it a chance and see if he could, just maybe love her, scared him. He’d resolved never to let himself get close to anyone, never to risk being hurt again. Until her. As soon as she’d blurted out her crazy story about a dream and fated mates, he’d been ready to throw all caution to the wind without a second thought.

It was lucky her grandfather had interrupted and given him time to clear his head.

It was lucky she wasn’t available anyway.

He shouldn’t be surprised that she was going to mate with a prince. Her grandfather was one of the elders, and she’d almost mated with Taurian. Of course she was destined to be a dragon princess.

And he had no hope of competing with these dragon princes.

Wayrian might say she didn’t want to mate with a prince, but he didn’t believe that. Sure, he might look like a better proposition when he was right here, but if one of those sexy dragons was right in front of her, complete with approval from her grandfather and clan?

There was no way she’d choose him. He wouldn’t even blame her.

And it didn’t bother him. He was quite happy with his life here on the station.

Or he had been until these damn dragons came along. Why had Lisa drawn him into this mess? Why had he let himself become obsessed?

Because his life was boring?

No, not boring. Predictable. Safe. And he liked it that way.

Wayrian liked predictable and safe too. He could tell that about her. They could, perhaps, have been happy here together.

Chase sighed. This was getting nowhere.

He rolled over and sat up, his neck aching from sleeping in an uncomfortable position on the couch. If he was going to be awake anyway, he might as well get something done. He could see the hint of sunrise. By the time he ate, it would be light out.

If he wasn’t here when Wayrian and her grandfather woke up, that would probably be for the best. The less he saw of them the better.

He didn’t want to take the time to cook, so he grabbed a bowl full of cereal. He was just pouring the milk on, when something made him look up.
