Aegon:Why is the redhead approaching our mate like that? BITE HER.
Dexmon ignored him. He'd been ignoring Aegon all day. But when Elara grabbed Serena's wrist hard enough to bruise, he zeroed in on her fingers.
Aegon: Kill that bitch.
"I need you back before the hour. Hurry."
Before Serena could ask what the hell that meant, Elara spun on her heel and was already gone.
That's when Dex noticed her hair was soaking wet, her training suit was too large, and she didn't smell like him anymore. Every territorial nerve in his body fired at once. He wanted to mark her again, and the urge damn near won. He shook his head once, swallowing it down, then caught her hand.
Aegon: This will be entertaining.
Dex: Shut up.
When they arrived back at their chambers, Dex dropped into the armchair by their hearth and pulled her onto his lap.
She took a steadying breath.
"What happened with Velkaris… I didn't mean for it to..."
