Droplets of icy water rolled off my wings as fresh rain fell from the dark sky. The storm had lasted four days and four nights, rinsing freshly spilled blood from sandy soil.

I flew high above deep sapphire lakes. The surface of each was speckled with green lily pads, with blooms of satin white and bubblegum pink. The shores were shimmering obsidian, a border of smooth black stones. Beyond lay evergreen forests of dark pines and darker shadows.

The boundaries of the territory had been disputed over and over again throughout the centuries due to the differing versions of a shared history.

We were there for the Darkland clan. We’d been recruited by dragon shifter Gabriel Christianson and his mate, Nevaeh. We’d listened to Gabriel’s story, to the plight of the Darklanders, the smaller of the two clans. They, like many families during the war, had lost everything—their home, their loved ones. We wanted to help—we had to help. We wanted to clear the Stonefang pack and their mercenaries from the Darkland forest. We wanted to be a part of a peaceful resolution.

We were young. We were idealists.

We were wrong.

Marc’s scaled wings stretched out beside me as we broke through the fog of thick clouds. He tilted his snout down and his body followed, a graceful curve of his majestic form. I watched from above as glints of sunshine glistened on his wet, blue scales. The clouds parted just enough to offer hope in the endless rain, only to come back together once again.

I dove down and let my talons graze across the water’s surface. The lake rippled, creating small waves that lifted the lotus blooms like a rollercoaster of ups and downs. Smoky heat tickled the back of my neck, and I glanced up to find Marc just above me, mirroring every flap of my wings and shielding me from the falling rain.

It was everything we’d wanted. We were helping people, doing the right thing, and we had each other. I knew we were young, but I’d never been so sure of anything as I was about Marc. He was my mate, my husband. He was my world.

A scream carried across the open air.

Without hesitation, Marc chased the sound.

I chased after, both in admiration of his selfless bravery, and because I wanted to help, too.

What we found wasn’t beautiful. It wasn’t what I’d hoped for when we’d signed up for this. What we found was a massacre.
