I’m going to need some time. What kind of an idiot was I? I didn’t need time. I needed to wake the eff up. It was a dream. It had to be. Except I knew it wasn’t.

It. Was. Real. All of it from the being an Alpha to transforming into a freaking dragon. My gorgeous, beautiful, graceful warrior of a beast. Mine. Everything in my body sang with the truth of it. He’d dropped me off at the B&B less than three minutes ago and my body was already missing the warmth his touch brought.

Letting him leave was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. The pull to jump in his arms made it nearly impossible to part, but I had to. There were too many things to process, including something I wasn’t ready to share with Knox yet. Sure, I knew his big secret, or secrets as it were, but this secret wasn’t mine. Heck, it might not be anything.

When he mentioned I was his mate, I had a flash memory of my grandmother near the end of her life. It wasn’t unusual for her to cross my mind. She was my first actual loss that I remember, and that hits a girl hard, even if the loss was someone who was less than “there” long before they left this world. This. This was different. Worse in a way because it had me second guessing her actual dementia.

One of the very last times I saw Gran, she had dozed off in front of the twenty-four hour news channel, once again. My mom and I often conjectured that it was part of the reason she was so hostile near the end. They never showed anything positive, and whomever the politician they were discussing was, they were evilness personified trying to make your life worse.

I quietly went to leave, knowing she was a light sleeper, when she suddenly woke up screaming at me.

“It’s all your fault!” She was shooting venom. Gran had never been a sweet, docile, old lady you would expect to be donning an apron and baking cookies, but I had never heard her like this before.

“Gran, it was just a dream.” I rushed to her side, hoping to calm her. Her breathing was bated and sweat poured down her face. I grabbed her hand which she immediately pulled from me as if I touched her with acid. “I’m here in your room at the nursing home and everything is fine,” I lied. If she kept this up, she was going to throw herself into one of her breathing attacks and each one took her longer and longer to bounce back from. Everything was far from fine.

“It will never be fine because of you.” At that, she spit in my face. Not on accident, but an actual I’m going to spit in your face spit. It took all I had to be calm and to not show my disgust. It wasn’t like she was in control of her
