Cold air teased Angela’s skin as she stared up into Kyle’s golden eyes. They swirled with power, and she could feel that power echo inside her. A shiver raced up her spine and she tensed in his lap.

“Relax,” Kyle said as he petted her hair.

The sound of his voice echoed in her head, frightening her. A deep rumbling started in her chest that scared her even more. Tears burned at the corner of her eyes as a full-blown panic attack worked its way through her. She drew in several inadequate breaths. Darkness nibbled at the edge of her vision, and she grabbed at Kyle’s shirt to keep herself from being lost again.

“Relax,” Kyle said again. His arms tightened around her. “You’re safe and I won’t let anything hurt you.”

A wave of trust and comfort washed over Angela, pushing back her panic, but the trust, in itself, terrified her. She clutched at the material of Kyle’s shirt so hard her fingers ached. She didn’t know where these strange feelings were coming from. “Kyle?” she whimpered.

“I’m here,” he said soothingly. “And you are okay.”

Angela licked her lips and tried to focus on his words. They resonated with her in strange ways. “What happened?” she asked trying to get a handle on where they were. She hadn’t moved much to see what was around her, but the wind on her skin and the blue sky behind Kyle told her they were no longer in her father’s home.

“There was an accident with the dragon heart,” he explained.

Angela shivered. She remembered Kyle’s struggle with Eugene and the desk being knocked back. She’d reached for the box to keep it from tipping but only managed to pull it down on top of her as she fell. She didn’t remember what happened after that. “Oh God,” she whimpered, dreading what he would say next.

“It shattered and you cut yourself on one of the shards.”

True terror rushed through her, making her gasp. She’d been there when Noah had explained dragon hearts. He had warned them about the razor sharp edges of the crystal. She huffed in several more breaths trying to keep from passing out.

Kyle’s arms tightened around her. “Stay with me, Angela,” he ordered.

Angela nodded her head, closed her eyes, and hung on as best she could.

“I don’t know exactly what happened when you released the dragon’s energy,” he explained, “but it’s bonded with both of us.”

Shock popped Angela’s eyes open. “What?” she asked in disbelief. Was that even possible? A positive response rumbled through her brain, and she shook her head trying to clear it.

“I didn’t think it was, but it happened, none the less.”

“How?” she gasped trying to wrap her brain around this. Now that she knew some of what happened, she could feel the dragon’s presence brushing against the back of her mind.

“I’m not exactly sure,” Kyle explained. “Dragon hearts were once used to share a dragon’s power, but they were supposed to divide the dragon between mates. The heart Eugene created was somehow incomplete and split the dragon unnaturally.
