So many conflicting emotions, but one will always win over the other.

Rage.

A shadow falls over my shoulder and Raiden’s chin grazes my cheek.

I growl again. “What the fuck, Raiden? Why are you so close?”

“I just want to see what you’re looking at. You’re just such an open book, you don’t leave much for us to guess what’s going on.” The sarcasm drips from his tongue.

“You’re overly cheery attitude is ticking me off more than usual. Is there something you need? Why are you interrupting my morning bath?” He knows it’s essential to how I start my day.

My left wing is slowly deteriorating. Years ago, I protected the fireside of Elementalu and it nearly cost me my life when I came across a forest basilisk. The damned beast spit its venom before my dragonfire finally killed it and while I dove out of the way, it was too late. My left wing had begun to burn immediately. It was like acid eating away at my flesh. The pain was unlike anything I had ever felt before.

The leather-like flesh has holes in it now, the bones peeking through the worn, tired, and injured tissue. It only hurts after the day is over, after flying and exerting myself, but one day, soaring the skies will be a memory.

I’ll be a lesser dragon, and another will take my place.

Just like I took my father’s.

“I know. Apologies, Prince,” he bows his head, and I can’t help but roll my eyes.

“You know you don’t have to call me that. Out with it. Tell me what’s going on so you can leave me in peace.” And so I can stare out the window, daydreaming about what it would be like to have the elf under me, taking my dragon cock.

In another world, in another time, when he wasn’t a killer.

Lust, need, and desire pool south, my dick stirring for my firebond. I might detest this pairing, but he is still meant to be mine, and fighting this mating is the most difficult thing I have ever done.

Gods,I’ll never forget when I first saw him. He was just about to jump through the portal when my eyes locked on his long, sleek, snow-white hair. His beauty was so off-putting, so mind-melting, I forgot my goal was to kill him. Instead, my dragon scratched him, marked him, and I know he must be walking around with a scar.

I’m both proud and annoyed by that.

“Nyx?” Raiden snaps his fingers in front of my face. “Have you heard anything I’ve said?”

“Hmm?” I blink. “What? No, sorry. I was preoccupied.”

He narrows his yellow eyes at me, the blue scales on his shoulders reflecting the light. “You’ve been saying that a lot lately. What’s going on?”

“Nothing,” I lie.

“Nyx.” He pinches the bridge of his nose. “You need to tell me. I can’t help you if you don’t, especially with the rogue trolls heading in this direction.”

“Trolls? How many?” Battling trolls is so dangerous for dragons. They love dragon hearts and fighting while trying to protect ourselves is exhausting. Our attention is split, leaving us vulnerable. We do our best to stay away from the violent creatures as we always end up losing a dragon in the process.

I’m not sure if I’m up for a battle that will force me to fly.

“Around ten according to our enforcers.”

“Ten? So many. That’s unheard of.”

“Well, the portals are open now. Who knows where they are all coming from? I’m sure this is just the beginning of what we will see.”

I nod in agreement, my damn gaze finding the ice castle again.

“How far are they? How long do we have to prepare?”

“A few days, maybe,” he states, standing from his causal sitting position on the windowsill. His wide frame blocks the light pouring in the window, his shadow casting onto the brown stone of the room.

“We’ll be ready.”
