"Hear that Old Man?"he forced out through gritted teeth to Felim.“That’s my Mate, my woman, my… Arghhhhhhhhhh!”
Blood boiling, his mind awash with absolute agony and unimaginable pain, the Warrior Dragon’s knees hit the ground. Panting and heaving, bile racing into his throat, Jack used every ounce of his considerable Magic and hard-fought control to keep from throwing up as he wheezed,“What the fuck is happening?”
No sooner had the words flown from his mind to Felim’s than did he hear anguished cries ripping through the night sky. It was Macy. She was Shifting for the first time.
The stress, the pain, the shock of everything mixed with their growing Mating Bond had brought her initial transformation to the forefront so much sooner than Jack had expected. His Mate’s Dragoness was bursting forth. Her muscles were contorting and tearing. Magic was flooding every cell of her body. Fire was racing through her veins, and…
He wasn’t there.
She was in pain. She was in the clutches of an unpredictable Beast hellbent on revenge. She was confused.
And she was all alone.
It was all his fault. He'd brought the Lupine Master to their home, to their desert, to her, and he wasn't there to help her through one of the most beautiful, traumatic, and life-altering events in her whole life.
Even if she'd known of her heritage, nothing could have ever prepared her for her first Shift. From the older to the youngest among them, no one was ever truly ready for their first time. It defied explanation and understanding, no matter how many times the information had been relayed and watched from a distance.
Shifting was something that had to be experienced to be understood at the best of times. Sadly, for Macy, this was the worst of times.
Up on his feet, Jack ran faster than he ever had in all his life. His only focus was getting across the folded foothills and into the cave where he knew Macy was suffering something inconceivable, something only he could help her through.
True to form, and because the Old Dragon King had a sick sense of humor, just as Jack's feet hit the slick, flat shale entrance to the cavern calledFuegos del Infiernoat the base ofCerro de Chipinque,Felim scoffed,“Is now a bad time to say I told you so?”
