Dracuori. My father’s inane ramblings rushed to the surface. “Fated mates?” I blurted. I peeled my body away from Ryker’s, despite every nerve ending screaming at me. The echoes of the most mind-blowing orgasm still surged through my body, tingling deep within my veins. I’d never felt something so explosive, so soul bending. And with all our clothes on. “What the hades does that mean?”

“Exactly what it sounds like.” He dragged his hand through his hair and huffed out a breath. “Our dracon reside deep within our very being. They are an integral part of our soul. You’ve heard of the human phenomenon of soul mates?”

I nodded.

“Same idea.”

“But soul mates aren’t real.” The notion that there was only one person out there you’re destined to be with sounded insane. What if you never found that person?

“Maybe, maybe not. But I can assure you that dracon fated mates are very real.”

“But the other day, you said—”

He nodded, mouth curving into a frown. “Yes, it was very odd that your beast refused to emerge when summoned by her mate. But we have no idea what happened to your soul as a result of the sacrifice. You still haven’t been able to beckon her forth at all. Maybe there is something blocking her, and I’m not strong enough to get past it.”

My head spun, the idea of dracuori, fated mates and soul mates whipping around my mind. A part of me wanted to believe it. It would at least explain the way I’d felt about Ryker from the first moment I saw him in the club in Vegas. I would be lying if I said I hadn’t felt an instant connection. But…

“What about Rhyland?” I still felt something when I was around him as well. It was nothing as powerful or all-consuming as with Ryker, but I couldn’t deny its existence either. Steeling my nerves, I forced the words out. “I feel something for him too.”

His expression shuttered, and that dribble of jealousy unfurled in my gut. His, not mine. “I don’t know,” he finally grumbled. “None of this makes sense. Maybe you simply recognize him from your previous life, that could be it.”

I took a measured step closer. “Rhyland said you and I were close before the sacrifice, when I was betrothed to your brother fifty years ago.” I swallowed hard. “Exactly, how close were we?”

“Very close.” His lips curled into a wicked grin, and a wave of heat drenched my pulsing lower half.

Son of beraatch… no wonder he seemed so familiar. In the biblical sense. “And he never knew about us?” I forced out, fighting past the tumultuous sensations.

Ryker shook his head. “No one did.”

This all made so much sense now. In a super fucked-up way. My reincarnated soul recognized his. It might have been insane but so was all of this. The man before me could transform into a dracon, and so could I, in theory.

The question was: what did we do now?

I was betrothed to his brother, destined to have little dragon babies with him to save dracon kind.
