Mated to Dragons novel

---- increased . "It used to be so easy to manipulate him. And then that idiot refused to be crowned and said that Lucas should take the title instead." It was strange hearing her call Nate on his full name. "Then that idiot suggested Lucas marry that bloodsucker to form an alliance with another kingdom." The roar that fell from her lips made my ears ring. I stumbled further away from the cell until I bumped into the wall. She spun around to glare at me again.

"There shouldn't have been any alliances!" Dorothy hissed. "This land is ours. It belongs to me! All of it!" "There will never be a war, not for as long as Lucas rules," I told her. "He won't allow it to happen." Her lips slowly curled up into a cruel smile. "You seem so sure, human. It's only a matter of time before they come for him. Especially if they find out that Lucas is the cause of the portals.

The realm is crumbling, and he was supposed to take care of it." It took a few seconds for her words to settle in fully, and the moment it did, I spun around and hurried towards the exit. Xavier jerked upright, instantly on alert. "T need to see Lucas," I told him. "He gave clear orders that you need to stay in your ---- bedroom." "Tt's important, Xavier!" I hissed. "I need to see him. Now." He hesitated and then bowed slightly before he started leading the way.

We didn't head in the direction of Lucas's office, but towards the library instead . Xavier hesitated again when we reached the door. I moved around him, and just remembered in time to knock before I opened the door. All three of my mates straightened , the expressions on their faces softening when they realized who entered the room. Iclosed the door behind me and hurried over to Lucas. "T told Xavier-" "JT went to see Dorothy," I interrupted him. "What?" he snarled, gripping my upper arms.

"I told Xavier-" "Tt wasn't his fault. I sneaked out," I lied. "I'm sorry. You can be mad at me later." "What did she say?" Mason asked as he stepped closer. "She said that there was never supposed to be any alliances between you and the other kingdoms. She ---- wants them to start a war, Lucas. The portals opening, it was all planned this way."
