Transforming Snowridge (Stonefire Dragons Universe 2) - Page 15

His beast huffed. Just tell them. That way, it won't be a surprise.

They could also try to force it. They've both hinted at how I should take a mate for a while now.

Wren told you about his potential true mate last year. And good thing, too, because she kissed him before he could warn her. Luckily because of him confiding in us, everything was in place to prevent any sort of leadership vacuum inside the Protectors. We should do the same.

Carys stated, "She's your true mate, isn't she?"

Rhydian grunted. "Maybe."

Wren sighed. "That makes things complicated."

"I didn't say I was going to claim her, Wren."

The other male raised his brows. "Why not? This isn't like the last time, Rhydian. You're the one in charge now."

He and Wren were only a few years apart, and the other male had been old enough to witness everything that had happened with Liliwen. "I'm in charge, yes. But that brings its own set of troubles. For now, all that matters is protecting both her and the boy. I hate to be overly dramatic, but our future might just depend on it. After all, if Snowridge can't handle incorporating one human female and a half-human child from outside the clan, then we have no hope of making future human mates welcome."

Carys's mobile beeped, and she checked it quickly before meeting his gaze again. "It looks like Stonefire's head Protector is here."

Rhydian wondered what the Stonefire Protector wanted since he hadn't given Rhydian any sort of notice concerning a visit. "You don't have to be so formal. Kai may not live here, but his mother and sister do. He's family, in a way."

She grunted. "You can say that, but he can be a bit bossy at times, even though this isn't his clan."

Wren jumped in. "Stop it, Carys. He helped us out not that long ago with rescuing the children from the hands of those dragon hunters. That alone puts him in my good book. What else was in your text message? Did his mate come with him, too?"

sp; Carys shook her head. "Not this time. Kai wants to talk to Rhydian alone."

Rhydian's dragon peaked up at that remark. I wonder why. He almost never wants to speak with us alone.

There's only one way to find out.

He focused back on the two dragon-shifters. "Bring him here right away, Carys. And Wren? I want you to keep an eye on Delaney and Rian whenever possible. The female's curious, and braver than she should be. I don't want her to cause trouble and sway the clan's opinion of her so early."

Wren stood, and Carys followed suit. The male replied, "Of course. But one last thing—even if you don't intend to take the human as your mate, you still may want to devise a plan in case something happens. Most of the clan respects you, but I don't want to take any chances."

His dragon beamed. See? Wren agrees with me.

Ignoring his beast, Rhydian waved a hand in dismissal. "Fine, fine, I'll do that if it'll make you feel better. For now, bring Kai Sutherland here."

The pair left, and Rhydian leaned back in his chair. Coming up with a contingency plan about what to do in case the mate-claim frenzy kicked off was solid advice. However, just the mention of the frenzy made him think about Delaney naked, sweaty, and moaning beneath him.

The vision became clearer, with her long dark hair splayed beneath her as her nails dug into his back. Rhydian reveled in her tight wet pussy gripping him as he claimed her over and over again, branding her with his scent each time he came.

His beast hummed. Yes, yes. She should be ours. Think of a plan and then let's try to win her.

Rhydian's resolve to resist the female seemed to lessen by the hour.

However, before he could think of yet another excuse as to why it had to be slow or not at all, someone knocked, and Kai Sutherland walked in.

Thoughts of Delaney would have to wait. Rhydian needed to find out why Stonefire's head Protector was here. Because if Kai were merely here to see his mother and sister, he would've asked for them instead of Rhydian.

So he motioned toward the seat and stated, "Tell me why you're here, Kai."

As the dragonman explained, Rhydian did his best to sit upright and not slouch. His minimal free time was about to get a hell of a lot smaller.
