Dragen

I dialed my brother’s number for the tenth time and it still went straight to voicemail. Why the hell was his phone turned off? I tucked my phone into my back pocket and pounded my fists against the railing.

If I didn’t expend some energy soon, I was going to explode. I couldn’t even shift since my wing was still healing. Being in dragon form had always been my chosen outlet when I needed to let off steam.

There was nothing like the adrenaline rush of soaring over the mountains. Seeing the world below from high above. Tiny houses and buildings dotting the landscape below me. I could fly as slow or as fast as I wanted. I was in complete control.

My gut twisted not knowing if Kari had made it home or if she was even safe. What if she had been thrown into another dangerous situation by whatever spell had been cast on her. I knew it had to be a mate spell, but there was obviously something else going on with it. Whoever had cast it could have been inexperienced and somehow botched it.

She could have died today. That thought alone was enough to enrage me. I clenched my jaw and flexed my fingers at my side. What if when she appeared here, she’d missed my back or worse couldn’t hold on and fell. There was no doubt that I would have caught her first, but still … anything could have happened.

Sensing my anxiety, Toro and Luna whimpered at my feet. Toro jumped up, his paws clawing at my pants seeking attention. I knelt and scratched them both behind the ears forcing my body to relax. Which wasn’t easy to do since I was coiled tight and ready to spring. I had never felt so helpless before and the feeling unsettled me.

“I need to know where she went pups. Even if she doesn’t accept me as her mate, the need to protect her will still be with me.”

The memory of the kiss we shared surfaced. There was no doubt in my mind that she’d felt my dragon flames surging through her. The way that she curved her body into mine, the way her tongue dueled with mine, she definitely felt the burn just as much as I did. I also didn’t miss her devastated expression when I apologized for kissing her.

Through our bond I felt every emotion storming through her. Passion, need, desire, awe. All of that disappeared when I said I was sorry. The rejection she felt was like a blow to my solar plexus, sucking the air out of my lungs. My one strand of hope that I clung to was that she did not feel regret.

When I found her, I needed to make my intentions clear. I couldn’t afford to have any regrets of my own. Some people went a lifetime without finding their mates and I wasn’t going to waste my opportunity based on assumptions about her feelings for me.

I was fortunate that she was able to at least reveal the name of the friend that she was staying with before she vanished.
