Chapter Ten

“What do you think this little one will be?” he asked Cammie, rubbing her belly as she reclined against him on the bed.

“I think it’s a boy,” she answered with a serene smile.

“And that doesn’t bother you?”

“Of course not,” she said, musical laughter spilling from her throat. “Male dragons aren’t born evil. It’s taught. They’re told from birth they’re superior. Taught from day one to take what they want, when they want it. We’ll teach our son differently. We’ll raise him like he’s any other child, no better or special than anyone else.”

Pressing a kiss to her hair, he rubbed her belly, heart threatening to spill over when he felt a little hand or foot nudge him in return. “He is special, though.”

She craned her head around and gave him a soft smack on the lips. “Without a doubt, he is. Especially to us. But we’re not going to teach him to think he’s anything other than ordinary, like everyone else. And he’ll be fine. Just look at how you turned out. And if he takes after you, I’ll never worry.”

He smiled as he searched her eyes, dropping another kiss on her lips before she faced forward again. His chest felt like it was too big to contain all of him, and he had more than he ever imagined he could have, right here in his arms.

Alex gasped as the vision faded, and he stared at the sink in in front of him in confusion for a moment, before remembering he was shaving when this daydream hit him out of nowhere. His arms were locked against the counter, and he breathed deeply as he looked at the razor shaking in his trembling fingers.

Glancing at his chin and neck, he searched for any cuts. Having one of these intense waking dreams while he was shaving was dangerous. There was probably a lot that was dangerous for him to do when there was the possibility this could happen, now that he thought about it. But he’d been sure the first two would be all he had, that they were mere aberrations, especially since it had been almost two weeks since the last one.

Blowing out a breath, he rinsed the razor, then sat it down on the counter and splashed water on his face. Grabbing a towel, he wiped his face, making sure all the shaving cream was gone. He was still shaking, and he willed his hands to steady.

He absently glanced at his eyes in the mirror and froze, ice filling his veins. They were a blazing pale silver, the color bordering on white, with little swirls of pale gold. But that wasn’t what had horror flooding his system. It was the fact that his pupils were elongated.

Was he… no, he couldn’t be. If he was a shifter, he’d know, right? And for some reason, he felt it would be doubly so if he were a dragon. But no matter how he argued with himself, the truth was staring right at him.
