Mated to Dragons novel

---- "Are you hungry?" "Lucas never introduced us, what's your name?" I asked him. "Can I call you by your name?" "My name's Brian." "T'd say it's nice to meet you, but under the circumstances ..." I gave him a small smile which he returned. "Do you want me to move the mattress closer to the fire for you?" I bit my lip as I stared at the fire. "How long are you going to keep me here?" "As long as I need to." Brian walked past me to the mattress.

He easily picked it up and moved it closer to the fire. I took a seat again and arranged the blanket around me. "T'm not hungry," I told him. "But thank you." He nodded but instead of taking a seat, he started pacing. I watched him for a few minutes before I turned my head and stared at the flames again. He said that another kingdom was going to attack tonight. Had they already attacked? Were my mates in danger? Were they injured? ---- "You shouldn't worry," Brian said.

"They are stronger than they look. I'm more worried about the enemies." I frowned at him. "They don't know all the facts which means that they are going in blind based on false orders. Lucas will try his best not to kill innocents, but some of them wouldn't care about the facts." "They have honor," I muttered. "I know they will try their best to prevent this war from going further." "Get some more rest," Brian ordered.

"Ill wake you up if something happens." Ihesitated and then settled on the mattress. I was tired, but I knew that I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep. "Can you tell me more about mates? I won't be able to sleep knowing what's about to happen." "What do you want to know?" he questioned after a few minutes. "Everything you can tell me." Brian sucked in a deep breath. "I already told you that the more you share blood, the stronger your bond will get.

I'm not sure how or if it's going to work because you're human. I suppose it could be because you ---- already accepted their marks." "T thought all mates got these marks." "As far as I know, only true mates wear each other's marks." He paused. "My mother taught me all about the importance of a mate. Everything I know, I learned from her. She taught me all the secrets about being the perfect mate." "What type of secrets?" "The stronger the bond, the more...abilities the bonded couple gets.

I've never experienced it with Dorothy. Our bond is strong, but not that strong." "will you die if something happens to her?" I asked softly. I remembered reading about werewolf mates. Of course, that was fiction but if dragons and vampires were real, they had to be too. "We're not true mates. It would hurt, but with time I will heal. If mates share a strong bond and something happens to one of them, death would be an easy option for them. They would either go crazy or die.

It's why I brought you here. The enemy would go after their weakness which is you. I don't want anything to happen to my sons before they've managed to experience happiness." "T wish things could have been different," I said. " Despite the things Dorothy had done, I know that ---- deep down they still love her." He scoffed . "I doubt that. She never did anything a mother should have done for her kids. She only birthed them and then handed them over the first opportunity she got.

They don't have any fond memories of her...or me." "They will be happy that you helped us." Brian said nothing. Letting out a sigh, I pulled the blanket up to my chin. My mind raced with images. Some bad and some good. We had no idea how things were going to turn out. I just hoped my mates walked out of this war alive and without any injuries.
