Mated to Dragons novel

---- "T would have been okay with a smaller ring." Chuckling, I raised her hand to my lips and pressed a kiss to her knuckles. "You didn't say no." She finally looked at me. "I can't exactly say no, can I? You already marked me, which is as good as a marriage, isn't it?" That was not what I expected her to say. Guilt flooded me when I remembered that I didn't exactly give her a choice when I marked her. I marked her without asking her if I could.

"Angel I-" "Tt's not going to change anything," she interrupted. "T have this cool moving dragon tattoo now." "J should have asked you first," I muttered. "I should have talked to you about this, especially after how I treated you." My fingers slipped up to her wrist to trace the brand on her skin. "What's done is done, Lucas. We can't exactly turn back time." "We can," I said softly. "If we can find a witch strong enough to do." ---- Her eyes darted over my face.

She wasn't smiling anymore but there was a strange emotion filling her eyes. Swallowing, she gripped my shoulder and turned to straddle my lap. Her hands slipped up to the back of my neck to play with the strands of hair at the nape of my neck. "Do you regret it?" she asked softly. "Do you regret marking me?" "T regret doing it the way I had," I told her honestly. " Things between us...I tried my best to stay away from you due to my marriage with Arabella.

I knew you were my mate the moment I laid eyes on you." "Tt's the real reason you brought me." I nodded. "I didn't want anyone else to take you. I thought that I would be able to keep you close and keep my distance from you. It was hell watching my brothers being able to touch you and kiss you the way Icouldn't." She remained silent. "The more time I spent with you, the harder it was for me to stop myself from claiming you." I paused. "And then they kidnapped you and the thought of losing you.

I know I shouldn't have talked to you first, but I couldn't help myself. The beast took control and before I knew it, I had marked you." "Tt's forever, right?" ---- "yes," "T already belong to you then, don't I?" Her eyes dropped to the ring. "Do I have to wear it all the time? I'm afraid I might lose it." I smiled. "If that happens then we can get you a new one." "That will cost a fortune!" "Tm the king, little rabbit. I can afford it." She didn't return my smile.

"Is it going to be a big wedding?" "You don't want it to be?" Angel licked her lips. For a moment her eyes darted away and then locked with mine again. "Honestly, I never thought I would be getting married . I had given up hope of finding the perfect man a long time ago, so I never dreamed of my wedding." Her teeth sank into her bottom lip.

"It doesn't have to be anything fancy but taking the fact that you're the king into consideration ...it's going to be fancy, isn't it?" "Unfortunately." I smiled at her. "I can arrange for us to have a small ceremony for now. Once things with our mother are taken care of, we will have to arrange a bigger wedding which will also be your coronation." ---- Angel sighed. "T'll take that deal. It will give me some time to get used to the idea of turning into a queen."
