Cora didn’t know what to say to his confession. She knew almost nothing about him, but the desire to tell him he was enough rose to the tip of her tongue. Biting it, she kept the words to herself. Who was she to tell him who he was? But she couldn’t silence herself for long.

“Maybe if they got to know you a little better? I think if your clan could meet you, then they would follow you to the ends of the earth.”

Cora didn’t know if her assessment was based on her own feelings, having come from a clan rife with infighting, or if she could truly see the good Jasper wanted to bring to his clan. Either way, he wanted to put in the effort. She could help him. Or, at least offer a bit of advice.

“I don’t know how you would do it, but get to know your shifters. Let them know who you are in return. It could form a bridge that could lead to an actual relationship.”

He cocked his head, amber eyes on her as his hair flopped forward. She wanted to push back the loose curls and feel the silken softness of the strands. Instead, she tucked her hands beneath her thighs. She’d kissed him earlier. It had done the job, at the time, but now she found herself craving more.

Every moment spent in his presence was another root strapping her to the ground beneath her feet. She could fight against them, struggle to her heart’s content, but she was starting to fear that she’d never break free. This clan, this place, was so great and was getting better every day. Cora didn’t want to be the reason it burned.

She’d already made that mistake once.

“Both my father and I have been distant,” Jasper confessed, his voice small and his gaze trained on the stones near his feet. “The chromatic dragons forged a hierarchy of their own while my father and I locked ourselves away. The system…well, it was very broken. Mina nearly missed out on her own mate bond because she’d been convinced that a shifter of her station could never bond with a metallic dragon.”

“Sounds like you need to do something about that,” Cora said gently. She wasn’t trying to anger his beast, but the truth was the truth. Someone had to tell him.

Besides, she was clearly his mate. There was no denying their bond. If she couldn’t talk to Jasper, then no one could. That was not the marker of a good king.
