  CHAPTER THIRTY

  Amelia opened her eyes and blinked slowly. For a moment, she kept absolutely still. Only her eyes darted frantically to and fro. She couldn't recognize her surroundings. The last thing she remembered was being bitten by a horrible giant snake.

  “Tessa!” she gasped and jerked upright.

  She struggled furiously when a pair of strong hands caught her and pushed her back. “Let me go! Where's Tessa? I have to...”

  “Amelia! Amelia, calm down. Tessa's fine. She's safe. You're safe...”

  Amelia looked up into Rohan's handsome face. He smiled at her, touching her face tenderly before pulling her into his arms. “Oh Amelia,” he breathed, hugging her tightly. “My Amelia...”

  “Rohan…?” She closed her eyes and sagged against him. “Tessa's really okay? What...what happened? I thought I'd died...”

  “You were willing to sacrifice your life to save Tessa,” Rohan said, taking her hand. “You saved her, Amelia.”

  Amelia nodded and shuddered as she remembered her frightening, final moments. “So...who saved me?” she asked at last.

  Rohan looked deep into her eyes and said, “My dragon claimed you. You—are a dragon mate. My mate.”

  “I don't understand...”

  “As my mate, your life is now linked to mine. Your lifespan has been lengthened to match mine. Your body has also changed to become stronger and more resilient.”

  “Wow. Your dragon has made me strong...” she muttered in amazement.

  Rohan smiled and kissed her forehead. “You have always been strong, Amelia.”

  As Rohan laced his fingers through hers, Amelia whispered a word very softly, “Maiyangraeko.”

  Rohan inhaled sharply. “What did you say? Say that again.”

  Amelia frowned and repeated the word. “I don't really know what it means but it's something my mother used to say to me. I don't have many memories of my parents, but I remember this word.”

  Rohan took both her hands in his and said, “It means 'I love you' in the old Dracan language.”

  “Oh.” Her eyes widened. “So that means...”

  “Yes, Amelia, your mother was a Dracan.”

  She fell silent for a long time. “My father was human,” she murmured. “Does that mean...I can't shift into a dragon like you?”

  “I don't know,” Rohan answered honestly. “Most of the Dracans have lost their ability to shift. It doesn't matter if you can shift into a dragon or not.” He touched her nose and smiled. “There is no doubt at all that you have the heart of a dragon, Amelia.”

  She blushed and looked down. “Oh, this...” She touched her soft, satin nightdress in surprise.

  “Mrs Vomae, my housekeeper, got this for you. She insisted you'll be much more comfortable in this.”

  “It's lovely,” she whispered, running her hand over the cool, smooth material.

  “Are you hungry, Amelia? Mrs Vomae prepared a lot of food...”

  Amelia reached out and grabbed Rohan's wrist as he got up. “I'm hungry,” she said slowly. “In fact, I'm starving.” A delicious shiver coursed through her body when she saw Rohan's eyes darken with desire.

  “But...it's not food I need.” She leaned in closer and whispered in his ear. “It's you.”

  CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

  Rohan stared at his beautiful, strong, amazing mate and saw the want and hunger in her eyes. Amelia had survived his dragon's claiming fire and she was now bonded to him heart and soul.

  But he had yet to claim her body, and take her completely. She wanted him, craved him and needed him. His dragon had awakened her mating instinct, and she was prowling towards him with only one thing on her mind.

  Rohan waited for her to come to him. Her skin was rosy and radiant, and her pulse and temperature had returned to normal. He had watched over her for three days, watched the venom clear from her bloodstream and the glow return to her face.

  He raised his arms to let her pull his t-shirt up over his head. When she ran her hands down his chest, he couldn't control himself any longer. With a growl, he tore her delicate nightdress from her body and spread her beneath him.

  She raised her hips to him and whimpered, “Please...”

  Rohan shed his pants and freed his rock hard, throbbing cock. He covered her with his body and kissed the red, dragon-shaped mark on her shoulder.

  She cried out when he grabbed her breasts and began to suckle her. Amelia arched her back, giving more of herself to him. Rohan teased her erect peaks with his tongue and teeth, biting her and licking her, and tasting every lush inch of her.

  Pushing her legs wider part with his knees, Rohan nudged the head of his cock into her and gritted his teeth. He wanted to bury himself deep inside his mate, but she was so tight.

  Amelia gasped and wiggled, trying to impale herself on his huge cock. Rohan thumbed her clit in slow circles, making her cry out in pleasure.

  Very slowly, he inched his cock into her wet, hot pussy. Amelia panted as she fisted the sheets, her channel rippling and pulsing around him.

  “Take me, Rohan,” she whispered, “I want you inside me, now...”

  Rohan looked into her eyes and pushed into her body with one final thrust. Pinning her hands above her head, he pistoned in and out of her body, gradually increasing his rhythm until he was pounding furiously into her.

  Amelia screamed in ecstasy as he fucked her harder. She loved what he was doing to her, and he roared as he took her harder, faster, deeper. Her nails dug into his back as she rode the wave of pleasure.

  With a final cry, she shattered completely beneath him. Rohan roared his release as kept moving inside her as her pussy greedily pulled at his cock, milking every drop of his seed.

  Spent and sated, Rohan's head fell forward and he pressed his forehead to hers. “Mine,” he said breathlessly. “My mate. My beautiful, amazing, dragon-hearted mate. I love you, Amelia. So, so much.”

  She blushed and pushed herself up on her elbows. “I want to go see Tessa,” she said. “I need to make sure she's all right...”

  “We better get dressed then.” Rohan grinned. “I'll introduce you to my brothers. Zul and Edriq have been coming up to the room every day and messaging me every hour to check if you've woken up.”

  “I can tell Tessa adores them. She is always talking about her Uncle Zul and Uncle Edriq. They must be such fun, wonderful uncles to her,” Amelia said.

  “They are,” Rohan huffed. “But watch out, they're also the most terrible nags and worrywarts. You've been warned.”

  “I love them already.” She laughed and pressed her lips to his to kiss his scowl away.

  “And I love you!”

  CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

  Amelia eyed Tessa curiously across the table. The girl was giggling and whispering furiously to her dad, and giving Amelia sly, mischievous glances.

  At Rohan's insistence, she had moved into the mansion. She was his mate, and she would be targeted by Slayors. “You have to stay with me—for safety reasons,” Rohan told her.

  “You just want to have sex with me every night,” she teased.

  “That too.”

  Friday night was their date night. Rohan took her out to a different restaurant every Friday night. Zul and Edriq would take turns babysitting Tessa, but tonight, Tessa had insisted on coming along. The impish little girl was up to something, but Amelia just couldn't figure out what. Come to think of it, Zul, Edriq and even Mrs Vomae had been giving her knowing smiles and she had caught them whispering excitedly among themselves for the past week. They were all in on this. Whatever this was.

  Tessa had put on her best dress and shoes for this dinner, even though they weren't going anywhere fancy.

  When Rohan said they were going to Papa Pizza, that great pizza place where they'd had their first date, Tessa had clapped and cheered excitedly. “Yay! Let's go, let's go, let's go! We're going on a date with Miss Amelia!”

  Rohan had
even requested to sit at the very same table where he had sat with Amelia on their first date.

  So here they were. The three of them. Having pizza at Papa Pizza, the best pizza place in the universe.

  Except Tessa and Rohan weren't really eating. They were too busy whispering, chuckling and elbowing each other.

  “Come on, Daddy, do it,” Tessa urged, nudging Rohan impatiently. “I'll take it out for you.” Amelia watched in amusement as Tessa dug into her father's pocket and eagerly pulled out a small box. Quickly, she hid it behind her back and grinned at Amelia.

  “What are you doing, Tessa?” Amelia asked. “What's that in your hand?”

  “Nothing!”

  “Let me see.”

  Tessa shook her head and giggled. “Daddy!” she squeaked. “Take it! Quick!”

  “What are you two up to?” Amelia narrowed her eyes at them.

  Rohan and Tessa exchanged a look. Winking at Tessa, Rohan went to Amelia's side and dropped to one knee. He held out the box and opened it, presenting her with a sparkling diamond ring. “Miss Amelia, will you marry me? Will you marry...us?”

  Amelia gasped. “Oh, Rohan...”

  Tessa jumped up and down beside Rohan and squealed, “Will you marry us? Say yes! Marry us!”

  Amelia pressed her fingertips to her lips. Marry us!

  Rohan and Tessa weren't just referring to themselves. They had included everyone in the proposal.

  Amelia forced a shuddering breath into her lungs and she covered her mouth with both hands. Overwhelmed with emotion, her eyes began to blur with tears.

  She loved them. She loved them all so much.

  She knew what Tessa and Rohan were asking, and she knew what her answer would be.

  If she said yes, she wasn't just marrying Rohan Draek.

  She would be saying yes to Tessa, Rohan's brothers, his people, his life. Rohan might not want the title, but in the hearts of the Dracans, he was their king.

  The Dracans were her people too.

  “Oh Rohan! Tessa!” Amelia cried and threw her arms around the both of them. “Yes! Yes!” she said, laughing through her tears. “Yes!”

  Applause erupted around them. The people in the restaurant stood up and cheered when Rohan swept Amelia up in his arms and kissed her.

  Tessa squirmed when Amelia and Rohan carried her between them and kissed her resoundingly on her cheeks.

  Peering at Amelia, Tessa said shyly, “Mom?”

  “Yes,” Amelia answered at once.

  The little girl's face split in a grin. “Mom...this is so awesome!” she cheered. “You're my teacher and my mom! Miss Amelia is my mom!”

  “And my mate,” Rohan added proudly.

  “I am,” Amelia said, laughing. “And yes, this is so awesome!”

  Amelia sat back down at the table and finished her dinner with her family. Tessa was already on the phone with her Uncle Edriq and Uncle Zul. “She said yes!”

  Amelia could hear Edriq and Zul's joyous laughter and whoops over the phone. She smiled happily as Rohan kissed her hand. They were her brothers now, her family.

  “Shall we go home?”

  Hand in hand, Amelia walked out of the restaurant with her mate and daughter. She looked back at the cozy, little restaurant and smiled.

  “This is my favorite restaurant,” she told Tessa. This was where she had her first date with Rohan, and this was where he'd first kissed her.

  And this was where she'd said yes to the rest of her life.

  “Can we come here again?” Tessa asked.

  “Of course, darling, of course!”
