IS... MY... DAUGHTER?” Sage demanded before the great doors made from the hardest iron wood that had withheld marauding armies with battering rams, blew apart like kindling. Reighn, the Dragon Lord has at last found his soul shadow, an improbability a half witch half wolf, Reighn grinned. “Good I am dragon, my heart, we live for improbabilities. “I have lived a thousand years and thought to never have a shadow or hatchling, so I and my dragon are beyond pleased, we are forever in your debt and honored to be yours.” Sage, saw the hole, saw the never ending abyss and still she jumped feet first into love as a shifter, instinct drove her mating or at least the willingness to chance a mating, her witch side recognized power and felt the draw of spirits as they met, melded and entwined forever to be bonded together throughout eternity.

If in that time you have not sworn fealty to me and the dragon nation I will decide for you. Make no mistake, this is going to happen. With or without you. Now I suggest you go home and make your decisions.

He looked at John from eyes gone dark, his beast riding just under the surface of his skin, his voice, when he spoke, was low and guttural. “What do you want here dragon?” “I come to find the uncle to our Dragon Lord’s mate, Sage, witch, shifter, half breed.” “I am he, what do you want of me?” “I want you to call your bitch of a niece here, so I may end this once and for all.’ Robard laughed deeply and just a shade of insanity seeped through. “You think to use me for your own purposes against my own kin?” he laughed harder and rose to his great height as four shifters entered the yard. “Behold what is left of my pack, ask the Alpha whore and her bitches if they will help you, I will not!"
