After another hour or so of pokes, prods, and peeing in a cup, Evie declared me dehydrated and slightly anemic. Her prescribed treatment was a full day off of Court dealings, and a full night’s sleep. Also, a steak dinner with a jug of water at least three times a day. The water, not necessarily the steak.

“I still have to meet with the delegates from Babua tonight, and we still have to have that teleconference with the monarchy from Zyanhei,” Maxxus said, as we landed outside the massive palace doors. He hunched down on all four legs in his dragon form as low as he could get, stretched out his wings strategically to allow me a way to climb down easily and I slid off his back. My wings were still present, sticking through slits that were cut into Maxxus’ green robes that I was currently borrowing (because I didn’t want to ruin the fancy pink ones I was wearing) and helped me to be a bit more graceful then I otherwise would be without them.

“That should be relatively easy, I would think,” I said, feigning a yawn.

Maxxus bumped my shoulder gently with his dragon nose. “It will be, because you’ll let Yarrem and I do most of the talking. You just stand there and look pretty,” he said, winking an eye.

I ran my fingers through my hair and scrubbed my face with a groan. “Ugh, not sure about that one. That’s a tall order.”

Crazy ‘brothers’ Daniel and Gabriel, a sister in Kiarra and a wonderful mate in Maxxus and now a baby drake of our own.

Thinking of Maxxus taking care of our baby, protecting it, and loving it made me swell inside with pride.

“What are you thinking, darling?” Maxxus spoke in his gravelly dragon’s voice, as quietly as he could.

“Oh, just good things. Really good things,” I said with a smile. Until the thought of the Shadows penetrated my mind, and my smile fell fast. “Maxx…are we doing the right thing? I mean…what if…”

Maxxus shrunk down to his human form quickly, revealing his bare chest (as I was wearing his robes) and a pair of dark pants that hung low on his waist and the leather cuff he now wore on his left wrist. Without further words, he pulled me into his arms and squeezed tightly. “Leorah, don’t wonder about the what-ifs. We were given a gift, we should embrace it.”
