    About this ebook

    He'd seen the golden highlights of her strawberry-blonde hair glistening in the firelight, and it was obvious. When the seductively soft scent of Angel's trumpets with their light lemony overtones invaded his senses, Liam Drennan just knew she was the one the Universe had made for him and him alone.

     

    The few times he decided to go to her, something pushed him away and made it impossible for him to get near her. He felt the mating call, even sensed the beginning of the mating bond, but something dark, almost evil within her, shut it down and denied him access to his mate. 

    There was something about Hannah McKennon that did not add up.

     

    Now, all Liam had to do was figure out how to tell his brethren's mate that her best friend had something evil living inside her. Who was he kidding? There was no way this was going to end well for anyone involved.

     

    Oh great! Just another day in paradise.

      N o way! No freaking way! It’s just not possible. Hannah has NOT become one of Cleland’s mindless followers. You’re wrong, Liam, just wrong!

      Liam looked from Melanie to Jace and back again, trying to decide if he’d done the right thing by telling them. The young nurse was pacing, throwing her hands in the air, alternating between yelling at him and mumbling to herself. He’d known it wasn’t going to be pleasant, but was in no way prepared for the tirade he was watching.

      It had been necessary. He’d waited as long as he could. The last thing he wanted was to upset his best friend or his mate, but after what he’d seen in Hannah’s eyes earlier, there was no way he could put it off any longer. Telling them the beautiful girl with strawberry blonde curls was the one the Universe made for him had been easier than he thought it would be, but telling them he was sure she was being controlled by a malevolent force had royally sucked!

      They’d already suffered so much at the hands of Melanie’s grandfather. A few weeks earlier, Cleland (aka Grandpa and the Grand Draoi of the Dorcha) had kidnapped his only granddaughter with the hopes of marrying her off to one of his minions, turning her white magic dark, and using her incredible power to rule the world. Needless to say, he is not in the running for grandfather of the year.

      It was something the Dorcha—a group of black magic wizards who descended from the dark aborigines from the 13 th century, the Firbolgs—had been trying to do since their inception. They almost succeeded! It had taken Liam, Jace, the Dragon Guard, and several very talented white witches to stop Cleland’s plans and save Melanie and her friends. Unfortunately, the piece of crap had gotten away. Now, Liam was faced with the horrible task of telling Mel he was sure good ol’ Grandpa was still meddling in their lives, albeit from afar.

      Does this shit ever end?

      "Mo chroi’, please stop pacing. You’re wearing a path in the carpet and I really don’t want to listen to Rory bitch about his precious décor. Besides, my neck is killing me from trying to keep up with you. Jace’s attempt at lightening the mood was met with a death stare as he grabbed his mate’s hand, pulling her towards him. I know you heard what Liam said. Hannah is his mate. There’s no way in hell he’d make this shit up."

      Pausing, the newly mated dragon and recently initiated Dragon Guardsman looked directly at Liam. "Tell us exactly what happened."

      Clearing his throat, Liam began to recount his breakfast with Hannah. His nerves threatened his resolve for the first time in years. Everything was going great, just like every other morning for the last couple of weeks. He paused for half a second then rushed on. Breakfast has kinda become ‘our thing’. He failed at holding back his grin then shrugged as he regained his composure. "It’s been our time to get to know each other. I wanted to make sure she really knew me before I dropped the big ‘I’m your mate’ bomb on her. Things had been going so well that I’d decided today was the day to tell her. She feels the pull of the mating call, of that I’m sure. I definitely know how I feel and my dragon thinks I’ve waited way too long as it is. From hanging out with y’all, she knows what being a dragon’s mate entails, but I knew I owed her a direct conversation about my intentions, ya’ know what I mean?"

      He stood staring out the large picture window in the small cottage the Blue Dragons, more specifically Rory, had provided for Melanie and Jace while they continued the search for Kyra’s mom, Calysta, the Grand Priestess of pretty much all the white witches in the world. Liam knew what he was about to tell his friends would probably start the pacing and the yelling all over again, but just like everything lately…it had to be done.

      Turning, he looked Melanie right in the eyes, praying she could see the sincerity in his words and feel the pain they caused. "I reached across the table to hold Hannah’s hand, the way I’d done every other morning, but this time she jerked away like I’d burned her. I thought she was just surprised, so I joked, ‘Jumpy this morning?’ When her eyes met mine they were lifeless, completely devoid of the brilliance or electricity I’d come to expect. The sparkling blue eyes I dreamt of looking into for the rest of my life were dull and sunken. The pupils so wide her eyes were completely black except for a thin rim of blue around the outside. What scared me the most was the way she stared over my shoulder, like I wasn’t even there. It made the little hairs at the base of my neck stand on end. Then I tried to connect with her through our mating bond, only to be met by a wall of slimy, dark muck that turned my stomach and caused my dragon to growl.

      She must’ve seen or maybe felt my surprise and revulsion because in an instant, the brightness returned to her eyes and she reached out and touched my arm. But something was still off, so I tested our link again. The wall was gone, but so was my beautiful mate. All I found was nothingness. The longer I poked and prodded at our connection, the more I realized ‘something’ was pushing back at me.

      Hannah didn’t acknowledge any struggle or give any clue she even knew I was reaching out to her. That had never happened before. Not since the day our eyes first met. She always gives me one of her sweet smiles, winks, or a mental nudge…something to let me know she knows I’m there. I know you don’t want to believe me, Mel, but I swear Hannah is not Hannah right now, and as much as I know
