CHAPTER NINE

Asha's body twisted and writhed as if she fought some excruciating internal battle. Braedon held her body, keeping her from harming herself, but her mind was like a slippery eel. Every time he was certain he had her thoughts, she would veer and twist until he was left searching still. Under his hands, he could feel the heat build and boil just beneath her skin. Then in seconds, a sheet of ice would coat her body from the inside out, and he was holding a shivering block of ice, less womanly softness and more diamond-like hardness. As if she was dragon true. Then it would all start again: the heat and then the cold, again and again as Asha's pain and fear grew beneath his hands.

Then it would begin again as the magic built and swirled around them. Mage and dragon magic seemed to wage war across the two of them. Frustrated by his lack of power and scared out of his mind that he would not be enough to prevent her death, he finally grabbed Asha and dropped them both into the swirling heat of the hot spring. He had no idea if it would help or hurt, but at that point he needed to do something before he went insane himself from his own helplessness.

Dragon power flowed over their heads in the form of water. Braedon expected the ice to recede from the dragon heat, but instead it grew. It was so cold it burned, and unlike the fire that was his element, the ice attacked him as if he were the enemy. Through it all, he held on, knowing as the pain built and his skin peeled away that he would have permanent scars if he survived. He held on anyway.

Throwing her head back with a roar that he never thought he could hear from a human, Asha wrenched herself out of his arms and sunk into the boiling magic of the springs. Ignoring the pain, Braedon dove in after her. With a burst of dragon fire, he felt her transform. Sputtering under the tidal wave of water that attempted to smash him into the rocks, he looked up and was met with the sight of his mate in dragon form. She was unlike any dragon he had yet seen, more exotic but every bit as beautiful as they tended to be. Her eyes, like the rest of her, were like the inside facets of a diamond. She glowed with pale power, all shimmery crystal with a rainbow of colors that danced in each facet as the light hit her. She was quite simply breathtaking.

I am alive? He heard it in his head and closed his eyes under the full brunt of his relief.

"We both seem to be," he said, only then realizing that his voice was raw and damaged from the ice, like much of the rest of him.

You are hurt. He could feel her concern and then her anger. Who hurt you?

He shook his head.
