Mated to Dragons novel

---- that I had seen around the castle. "Close the door," Lucas ordered. I pushed the door closed and glanced around. My eyes locked on the iron heating in the fire. "Are you going to mark me with that?" I breathed. He turned around to face me. "You are part of this castle." "T never asked to be," I told him. "You can just let me go." "And where will you go?" Tilting his head to the side, he took a step closer to me. Iremained silent because I didn't have an answer to his question.

"Like I said before, this is to make sure that you are protected." "7m not an animal!" "Don't make this any more difficult than it needs to be, Angel," Lucas growled. He took another step towards me. Spinning around, I opened the door and tried to make arun for it. Lucas easily caught me. With an arm wrapped around my waist, he spun around and slammed the door shut. ---- I screamed and kicked at him, but it seemed to have no effect. "Do it," he hissed at the other man.

"No, please!" Somehow Lucas managed to get me into a position that prevented me from moving. He had one leg over mine and my arm locked to my chest with one hand. The other hand was holding my arm out towards the man, wrist up. I tried to tug my arm free, but his hold only tightened. "Do it, Xavier!" The man moved closer. I pleaded with him, but my pleas fell on deaf ears. "Hold still or it will hurt more," Lucas whispered against my ear.

"You don't want us to have to do it again, do you?" My body slumped against his, the fight draining out of me. I felt the heat of the iron before the burn. Ascream fell from my lips. It hurt. It hurt so bad! ---- "Thave to," Lucas breathed. "Forgive me." The room was spinning in and out of focus. Asecond later I was swallowed by darkness.
