left now,” Meldamiriel exclaimed before burying her face deep into Natasha’s shoulder as she sobbed out her feelings.
    Dominic’s blood boiled at the mention of this Dexter character. Who was he? And what did he mean to his Meldie ?
    ‘Wait, Meldie?’
    ‘Yes, she is as sweet and innocent as a perfect melody,’ Ivormantis stated.
    ‘ But what about this Dexter?’
    ‘Either way he is dead, and we are now here with her.’
    ‘But maybe she still has feelings for him.’
    ‘Do not be troubled by something so small. She is our mate, she will come to love us in her own time. Despite this Dexter.'
    He could actually see Ivormantis wrinkling up his nose at saying the other man’s name.
    “Could you please have some soup sent upstairs, and a sedative? I think it might be best to get her resting for the night. We can try all of this again come morning,” Natasha stated.
    “Of course, love,” Blain said, watching as his beloved turned to guide Meldamiriel out of the dining room and upstairs.
    Dominic moved to follow, but stopped short when Blain’s hand gently landed on his shoulder. He looked over to his lifelong friend in confusion. Why was he stopping him from following and being near his newly found mate? Opening his mouth to argue with his friend, he found himself quickly silenced.
    “I think tonight it might be best if they just have each other. There seems to be more to this story than any of us know. Let her rest tonight and tomorrow she will be all yours with no one stopping you. I promise you that, my friend. Besides, your own body needs rest.”
    With a heavy sigh, Dominic had to admit Blain was right. It most likely would be best just to wait and start all of this over again come tomorrow morning. But both he and his dragon hated the thought of not being able to be near his mate until sunrise. Tonight was bound to be long and rough.

    Dominic paced back and forth in his room. It was directly across from Meldamiriel’s room and he couldn’t get his mind to leave the thought of her for even one second. His body and mind were tired beyond belief, but sleep refused to claim him tonight. He could still sense her pain and anguish through the walls, surrounding him, reminding him there was nothing he could do.
    “I’ll find a way to fix all of this. I promise you, sweet Meldie,” he whispered to himself.
    ‘And how exactly do you plan to go about doing that, oh great human?’ Ivormantis was in rare form by this time.
    ‘I haven’t figured that out, yet. We may just have to wing it day-by-day.’
    ‘I’ll kill those blood-thirsty suckers just for looking at her, let alone chasing after her!’ Ivormantis roared.
    ‘She needs comfort and caring before she needs us going all ‘he-man’, my friend.’
    ‘Fine, you go comfort her and I’ll go roast the vampires for lunch.’
    ‘You’re forgetting we go together, and that we can’t shift right now, you dimwit.’
    ‘Says the man who can’t sleep and is arguing with his dragon simply because he needs to be near his mate. Go to her.’
    ‘She’s asleep by now.’
    ‘No harm in watching her sleep and sitting with her awhile. I’m sure Natasha could use a break and would like to be back with her mate as well.’
    Dominic smiled. ‘ You’re the devil, but I don’t know what I would do without you.’
    He quickly headed for the door. Quietly tapping on the door, so as not to awaken Meldamiriel or startle Natasha, he waited just a second before poking his head in. Natasha sat in a big plush chair near the bed dozing. Meldamiriel lay curled up on her side facing her, sound asleep. Dominic silently walked over to Natasha and gave her shoulder a slight shake. She awoke with a start, her gaze first flashing to Meldamiriel before darting up to meet his gaze. He held a finger up to his lips to keep her quiet.
    “I thought I might relieve you. I thought you might want some time with your own mate,” he stated casually.
    “You’re supposed to be
