Azura could already feel that greedy pussy getting wet for him again, and his heart pounded fiercely for this small woman who satisfied him in such a primitive, profound way.It wasn’t just sexual—she filled every empty space in his cold, hard soul.Aysling wasted no time impaling herself on him, giving him a heated view of her undulating back, her beautiful wet hair falling down, and those pink cheeks bouncing erotically as he smacked them to tease her further."Sshh, mmm, tell me who the hell you belong to, Aysling!" he demanded, reveling in her moans and how tightly she clenched around him, making him harder than ever."Mmm, I won’t tell you. You’re so insufferable and grumpy. You think the whole wor…ld… sshh, ah, so good. I mean, you’re such a bastard, mmmm, ah, so big, damn it, I love your cock! Ah, ah, Azura, fuck me harder from below… sshhh, ah, like that… harder, Dragon, harder…"She forgot to insult him as she braced herself on her mate’s firm thighs and rode him vigorously,

Aysling was his favorite woman, and not just because of the sex.From the very beginning, he knew this human was special to him. Why?He didn’t know exactly, but one thing was certain: he considered her his and had no intention of ever parting from her.However, a Dragon only offered the blood of his heart to his true mate. And while the concept of a mate for Dragons wasn’t the same as for werewolves, he had already acknowledged Lea as his mate before everyone.Giving Aysling the blood directly from his chest would sever his bond with Lea and utterly betray her, stripping her of her future position as Empress and handing it to Aysling.Lea would be reduced to a mere concubine and the laughingstock of all.“I see,” Aysling’s voice suddenly pulled him out of his turbulent thoughts. Seeing her eyes filled with sadness and disappointment, Azura felt a sharp pain in his chest.“Aysling, I... It’s complicated for me. Lea, she…”“She’s your destined mate; I understand. You can’t acknowledge

"Your Majesty, we have an emergency at the borders. The Army of the Water Dragon continues its attacks, and while our warriors hold their ground, the supply convoys are being intercepted by mercenaries within the kingdom," one of his generals reported the critical situation."Within the kingdom? How is it possible they know the secret routes and the exact timing of the convoys’ departures?" Azura questioned, frowning deeply.The ongoing struggle at the borders with the Water Dragon was relentless, and war had nearly erupted on several occasions. That ambitious man wasn’t satisfied with his own kingdom, especially after Azura had claimed part of his territory in their last battle."We have one or more spies," was the conclusion they reached after summarizing the facts."Fine, prepare the next convoy for tomorrow. I will personally accompany it. No one must know I’m going with you. I want to see who dares to dig a burrow in my own kingdom," he instructed, and his man quickly turned to l

She couldn’t reveal any more details—damn it!“What’s happening? Should I call your maid?” Charlie suddenly panicked.“No, don’t call her! Listen to me, please! Charlie, I’m sorry, son, I…” Serene’s eyes welled with tears, but she quickly tried to pull herself together. She was already acting far too strange in front of Charlie.“Believe me this time. I’m doing this for both your sakes. Go in your brother’s place, please, I beg you…”“Son.” She had never called him that before, and Charlie could only stare into her eyes.This seemed like his mother, but it was obvious something had happened to her. Could she be like Aysling?“Tell me, Mother, do you remember the tea I was served at your last birthday celebration?” Serene trembled under his cold gaze.Charlie was testing her.Of course, she remembered it well. Even though she hadn’t changed at that time, it was something her former self had done.It was the poisoned tea she had ordered to be served to her own son.“Yes, I remember, Cha

Charlie sat inside the carriage where his brother was supposed to travel, cloaked in a heavy cape.No one was supposed to know that Azura was supervising this convoy—or at least that was how it should have been.But with a spy on the loose, it was obvious this journey wouldn’t go smoothly.The long supply caravan was making its way through a narrow path deep within a canyon.The towering cliffs flanked the closed carriages and the guards riding horseback to protect the cargo.The leader of the warriors was of the dragon race, but most of the others were feline shapeshifters, werewolves, and a few skilled human combatants.Charlie tensed as he sat in the carriage, sensing the exact moment the attack began."Everyone, to arms! Defend the supplies—!" BOOM! A powerful explosion drowned out the dragon general’s roar.Magical mines had been buried deep in the ground, and it was clear this ambush had been meticulously planned to catch them off guard.Dozens of warriors appeared at both ends
