Halee knew Derrick thought he’d break her heart, but she had a feeling it was more the other way around. He had a wall around him so tall he couldn’t see over it. Fear and pain resided in his eyes, and she wanted so bad to make it go away. She also realized she liked Derrick. A lot. Everything inside her screamed they deserved a chance together. At least to try and there was no way he was going to agree unless she took drastic measures. Today, she would begin to earn his trust.

Spreading a blanket on the ground, she pointed. “Have a seat. Each shifter has what is known as their primary dragon. The magic and power we gain when in that form is the strongest. But, we can also shift into any size to fit into smaller spaces. Comes in handy.”

“I bet it does.”

Halee started to walk away then stopped and looked over her shoulder. “And Derrick?”

“Yeah?”

“Except for my brothers, I’ve never shared this with another man. Matter of fact, I’m breaking one of our sacred laws. We’re never to shift in front of a human.”

“I don’t understand why?”

“The elders fear humans, though I don’t understand why. My people are descendants of a dragon and a human.”

He was intrigued. “I’d like to hear more.”

“When I get back, I’ll gladly share the lore of the shifters.”

“I’m honored you share this with me, Halee.”

The need to shift and push away her human feelings pounded at her like a battering ram. Shedding her clothes, she watched desire bloom in his eyes and wondered if he ever looked at another woman the way he did her. Did he even realize the emotions that played behind the windows to his soul? She was tempted to go to him but remained strong. First things first. He had to see her for what she really was. She had to know if he would run. If he was worth fighting for.

“You don’t play very fair, Halee.”

She laughed. “Sorry?” she teased then stretched her neck, the shift refusing to wait any longer. With her arms extended, she closed her eyes and allowed it to overcome her. Starting at her toes, a new covering of skin raced across her body; the scales followed. The wind picked up and swayed the grass at her feet as the magic of her ancestors swirled around her. When she opened her eyes a few minutes later, she looked at the world through her dragon. Taking in a deep breath, she inhaled hundreds of scents from miles away. When she swung her head to look at Derrick, he stared at her with wide blue eyes.

He swallowed. “You’re not going to eat me, I hope,” he laughed.

Halee lowered her head until her chin nearly touched the ground. She opened her mind, searching for any others in the area. When in dragon form, they were able to communicate telepathically. She sensed none of her kind close by, but there was an open link she didn’t recognize.
