Breath of Fate (Dragon Erotica): Rising Dragons #7 Read Online Free Page B

knew that because both my parents were dragons, it would be strong, though hers was still stronger. Our combined magic made you who you are, but physically you resemble her more than me. The only physical trait you have of mine is that infernal furrow between your eyebrows when you’re anxious or upset.”
    “Are you sure you should be making these speculations now ?” Kris asked. The Council’s agitation had grown to the point that his skin prickled from the energy being cast about within the pavilion. His own gut twisted with his nerves and he was suddenly very conscious of how tense his brow was.
    Darius snorted. “Every dragon needs a hobby. Besides, what could they possibly do that’s worse than what I’ve endured for hundreds of years already? If they’re upset, that’s just proof that I’m at least not far off the mark. They’re probably angry that they didn’t have a hand in determining her parentage.”
    Kris turned to look at the pretty young Red again, wondering how two such prominent dragons could have managed to breed, under the Council’s nose. Several generations of mostly pure breeding was a lot of time to build up power. How powerful was she? She appeared confident, though bemused at the entire situation. She was flanked by Geva and a Shadow Kris hadn’t met. The pair were imposing guards for an Unbound. Erika and another human stood at the outside on either side of the trio of dragons.
    “They love her, don’t they?” he observed.
    “So do I.”
    “You were with her?” He gave his father a critical stare.
    Darius shrugged. “She needed what little energy Zak and I could give. We were more than happy to oblige.”
    “I’d wager you gave her more than energy… how many secrets did you tell?”
    “Enough.”
    Kris laughed to himself, his chest full of mirth and love for the man beside him. His father…whom he’d known for his entire life, but never truly known due to the ridiculous laws their race had endured forever.
    Things would change, if the presence of the beautiful Red with the determined expression really meant what he thought it did—that the Council had less control over the course of events than they believed. The Court, including his own sister, their Queen, had been keeping secrets from him for months. He had to believe Rowan was the biggest one. He regretted that the rest of the Court couldn’t tell him everything, sequestered as he was on this mountain.
    Her aura hit him first, his cock instantly pulsing and swelling beneath his sarong.
    Reds were like that, and this was energy he could take back to Issa if he managed to control himself well enough. The hard-on would have to wait.
    “Sweet Mother, she’s even more powerful than when I met her,” Darius said.
    She ascended the steps and stood before Racha before Kris could say another word.
    “My Queen,” the Red said. “I am your servant and pledge my loyalty to you. Every ounce of my love and power is yours to command.”
    “Your love?” Racha asked. “Who do you claim as your lover, if you pledge your love? Pledging that requires a strong commitment.”
    Kris sensed a shift in Rowan’s energy but she kept her expression placid. He wondered if their little exchange had been rehearsed considering they had all arrived together. Her greeting definitely sounded too formal to come from one so young, and the question Racha had asked was too leading to be spontaneous.
    “These men beside me. My personal commitment is to them, through the marks they bear. My sovereign loyalty goes to you and our race.”
    She gestured toward the Shadow and the man on the other side of him, a human.
    Racha’s eyebrows raised, her face still a mask, but Kris sensed the rising excitement in his sister.
    “You have marked another dragon as your mate. This is a grave transgression.”
    The Red didn’t flinch and Kris wondered if she could already sense Racha’s acceptance of her. The Queen had no choice in her dialog. The Council
