Mated to Dragons novel

---- Lucas squeezed my hip as we watched the people leave the room. I looked at him and found him already staring down at me. Leaning down, he pressed his lips to mine for a brief kiss. "Okay?" he questioned against my ear. I nodded . There was no way I was going to tell him that my legs felt like jelly. If it wasn't for his arm wrapped around my waist, I would have been a puddle on the ground already, and I also wasn't going to mention the fact that I was cold.

The dress might be beautiful, but it wasn't suited for the cold weather at all. "You didn't mention anything about the coronation," Mason muttered, pressing his front to my back. "Tt's not the best time," Lucas muttered. "T agree," Nate said as he moved closer. "It would bea bad decision to hold such a big event with everything happening. That would make it easier for them to target Angel." I frowned, not understanding what they were talking about, not that it actually mattered .

We had bigger problems to deal with. "How could you?" their mother hissed. ---- I turned my head to watch as she stormed closer. The room was empty, the door had been closed and all who remained were us, their parents, and three guards. "You're shaming our kingdom! Our family name! We did not raise you to-" "That's just the thing, mother," Nate interrupted her. "you didn't raise us.

Your slaves did and to be honest I'm glad it worked out like that because if you raised us, we would be cold-hearted bastards." "Nate," Mason warned softly. "T'll take this to the council," she growled. I refused to look at her even though I could feel her eyes burning into my skin. Lucas's hold on me tightened. His chest vibrated against mine when he growled at her. "Go ahead, Mother." Mason swallowed loudly and Nate shifted from foot to foot nervously. Whatever she just said was bad.

"T can't believe I gave my title up for you!" she snarled. "Pathetic." Their footsteps echoed around the room as they hurried away. My body jerked in fright when the door ---- was slammed shut. Lucas moved away and then slumped down in one of the chairs. A loud sigh fell from his lips. Nate moved away as well and ran a shaky hand through his hair. I turned towards Mason. "That's bad, right?" Mason's eyes darted over my face. His lips curled into asmile that instantly faded again.

He was trying to hide it, but I could see the worry in his eyes. "Don't worry about it," he said instead of answering me. "We will handle it." "Tm your mate. It's my job to worry about you." He did smile. Cupping my cheeks, he kissed me. I sighed and melted against him as his tongue slipped into my mouth. My hands gripped his hips to pull him closer. Letting out a low groan, he broke the kiss and pressed his face to the crook of my neck.

I gasped, a shudder racing through me when he licked his mark. "Her mark needs nursing ," Lucas said softly. "Go." Mason slowly raised his head. "Excuse me, sire," Xavier stepped forward and bowed deeply before he straightened. "I've just been informed that everything you delivered has arrived. What do you want me to do with the stuff?" ---- Lucas didn't answer him immediately. "Load everything into the car." With another bow, he hurried away.

"T take it you'll be stealing our mate?" Mason asked his brother. "Tf you don't mind," Lucas muttered. Mason made a show of letting out a heavy sigh as he let me go and took a step back. "I suppose I don't mind, but I want her back within an hour. Like you said, her mark needs to be nursed."
