Chapter Ten

Isaak

A dragon.

That was what the man – Bain – had said.

The second the word was out of his mouth the monster within Isaak’s chest had reared up, green eyes flashing, smoke pouring from its mouth.

Yes – yes – that’s what we are – a dragon! And he will fear us for threatening our mate!

Isaak had merely stood there, stunned by the vehemence in the creature’s voice. Never before had anything resonated with it like this, unless it was the first time he had seen Josie. But Bain’s words had been almost like a bell being struck within his chest – and the bell had rung true.

A dragon. Yes. That’s what we are. That’s what we’ve always been.

Isaak had spent the next half-hour in a state of bewilderment. If he hadn’t needed to make sure that Josie was away from Bain and Magnus, he wasn’t sure what he would have done. Would he have begged Bain to tell him more – to explain exactly what he meant? Would he have allowed him to take him prisoner, in the hope that he might reveal more?

Isaak honestly couldn’t say.

He only knew that, as crazy as everything sounded, he might finally have an answer to the riddle of his life.

Why he had always felt different from everyone else.

Why he had always been stronger, more resilient than any normal human should be.

Why it was that his bones healed within days; why he could touch burning hot objects without so much as a mark to show for it.

And why he had a green-eyed, fire-breathing monster living inside his chest.

And why, he thought, swallowing and turning to where Josie sat on the sofa, I have never felt anything like this before in my life.

As he looked at her, Bain’s words came back to him once again. A human who is mates with a dragon.

At the sound of the word mates, the creature inside Isaak’s chest had risen up within him, eyes blazing, claws raised.

Yes – she is our mate! And we will protect her to our last breath!

And in that moment, he had known it was true.

He would do anything for Josie. He would fight and even die to keep her safe.

Because she is my mate.

“Josie,” he said, his voice feeling rough in his throat. “Josie, I don’t know how to explain this.”

Josie looked up at him, her dark eyes wide. She bit her full lower lip, and seemed to turn a little pale. “Well,” she said, after a long moment of silence. “I’d say I don’t want to rush you, but... I would like an explanation for all of this.”

Isaak shook his head. How to explain without sounding just as mad as Bain had?

“Do you remember... when I said I had... a beast inside me?”

Josie nodded, frowning a little. “Yes – but I thought that was just a metaphor. I don’t know, for loneliness or something.”

“So did I, I suppose,” Isaak said, going to stand in front of the glass doors. He looked out at the pale moonlight glistening on the surface of the ocean.
