Mated to Dragons novel

---- took a seat at my desk again and searched for some blank paper and a pen. Mother's threat wasn't an empty one. She would go to the council just to get her way and I needed to be prepared. Ihad my brothers on my side while she only had my father. But I wouldn't put it past her to try and get some old acquaintances on her side. Her argument was going to be based on the fact that Angel was human. She was going to use the past.

So, I had to find something to prove to the council that Angel was not what my mother claimed her to be. The fact that Angel was my true mate had to stand for something. They wouldn't kill her, but they might ask me to step down from my position. If that was the case, then my brothers would have to step down as well and that meant that some stranger was going to take over our kingdom. I wasn't going to allow that to happen.

This was our kingdom, and I was going to lead it with my true mate by my side. Guilt flooded me when I remembered how I acted when I first realized that she was ours. I denied it and her. I tried so hard to fight the attraction towards her and failed. ---- My lips curled into a smile as I remembered the first kiss we shared at the waterfall. An idea slowly formed in my head. Ireached for my phone and dialed the number of a good friend of mine.

If I wanted to go through with my plan, I needed some help. When the phone call was done, I called Nate. "Did something happen?" he answered on the second ring. "Nothing happened." I paused. "How's Angel?" "She's sleeping," Nate muttered something under his breath. "She threw up earlier. Angel said her stomach was just upset from the flying." I winced. It had been rough, and my main focus had only been on getting Angel to the castle safely. "What did the doctor say?" "She refused to see him.

Mason nursed his mark, and she ate a lot. I've been assured that she felt much better," he said. "T need you to do mea favor." He was silent for a moment. "What kind are we talking about?" "Can you get me Angel's ring size?" ---- Nate didn't reply immediately. "Nate?" "You're going to ask her to marry you?" he questioned. I blinked down at my desk. He didn't sound as happy as I thought he was going to be. "Yes.

People will accept her more easily if we're married." "That's the only reason you're going to ask her?" No, it's not, but I'm not going to tell you that. "Yes, why?" Nate muttered another low curse. "Do you want to marry her?" I asked him. "If you want to it means that you'll-" "We both know that I'm not fit to be a leader," he interrupted me. "I would love nothing more than to put a ring on her finger and legally make her mine, but my mark will have to do.

I'll get the size for you." "Nate?" "What?" he growled. "you need to stop doubting yourself." He snarled at me but remained silent. "Pll call the jeweler as soon as you get me the size," I ---- muttered, ready to hang up. "You're not going to give her Arabella's ring, are you?" I frowned. "She was upset about me marking her while still being married to Arabella. I don't think she will accept my proposal if she finds out that I gave her my ex-wife's ring." "True.

But the ring is a family ear-loom." "Tl take care of everything." "Fine. Are you joining us when you're done?" Ihesitated. "I don't know. The council called a meeting for tomorrow. I'm busy preparing things." "Do you want me to attend it with you?" "Mason might need to be there," I sighed. "You can spend time with Angel. You need to mark her, Nate." "Calm me if you need anything." He hung up before I could utter another word.

Dropping my phone onto my desk, I pulled the papers closer and stared at the words on it without actually seeing anything. I hoped I wasn't making a mess of things by asking Angel to marry me. It needed to be done to ensure that everyone was protected.
