“Here,” I whisper. “Let’s save Fablestone.”
Epilogue
Cameron
There’s nothing more wonderful than seeing two people fall in love. When I met Peggy, my entire world changed, and it was all for the better. I couldn’t have imagined just how wonderful finding a mate would be until I actually tried it. Now? Now I can’t imagine my life without her, and I know that Donald and Natalie feel the same way.
It took a lot of guts and a ton of bravery for Natalie to do what she did. For her to go, marching across the mountains, talking to people she didn’t even know, trekking down a wintery path, and then braving the dragon himself, well, all I can say is that she’s stronger than most of the people I’ll ever meet.
She’s incredible.
And now she’s mated to one of the best men in the clan, to one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever known.
Donald.
The clan has their Donald back.
Lawrence
It’s not that I don’t like being a part of this clan.
I do.
I like it more than anything else in the world, but that doesn’t mean I don’t need a break sometimes. When you do the same thing every single day for your adult life, sometimes you need a change, a shift. I might be a dragon, but I’m a bored dragon.
I’m a lonely dragon.
I’m a dragon who wants desperately to find a mate to share my life with, to grow old with, and to love. Sometimes it seems like I’m never going to find that. Sometimes it seems like the entire clan is getting married and falling love and me?
I’m just sitting around the school, teaching other shifters’ children. Maybe I’m destined not to have any of my own.
“Hey,” Cameron sits beside me. “How’s it going, buddy?”
“Same old stuff,” I say, lifting my beer to my lips. Cameron’s happy. Content. He’s a good guy, and he’s lucky to have found Peggy when he did. For a grumpy bastard, he’s sure been a nice guy since he got his mate. Can’t say I miss the old Cameron very much these days. I could get used to the nice guy.
“I have a favor,” he starts slowly. “It’s okay to turn me down, though. I know you’re busy with teacher stuff.”
“Ha,” I laugh, setting the beer down. “Buddy, I haven’t been busy since I went off to college.”
The idea of a shifter going to college might be silly, but I left the clan for awhile. I got a couple of degrees, worked a bunch of random jobs, lived in some unfortunate towns, and finally returned to teach in the school here. Most days, I’m happy to be able to educate the dragons of tomorrow. Today, though…today is one of those days where any change will be a good change.
I’m not just saying that because we lost Brendan or Esther. I’m saying it because right now, I’m living the same day over and over again and I have no idea how to get out of this rut I’m in.
“Sometimes being busy is overrated,” Cameron says slowly.
“Lay it on me.”
“It’s almost the full moon night.”
“Okay?”
“Usually, I go to the stone tower to see if anyone is seeking refuge at Fablestone.”
“Please,” I roll my eyes. “Stop with the stone tower crap. When was the last time anyone even came?”
He raises an eyebrow.
“Okay, anyone since Peggy?”
