“I can feel you flipping out.Don’t worry. Dragons can control when and if a mate gets pregnant if they choose to. I knew we weren’t ready yet, so I kept you clear.”

Luca relaxed some. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

The thought of him growing heavy with Drake’s child came to mind. While he wasn’t ready…

The possibility didn’t frighten him.

A smile came to his lips. Perhaps someday they could have their own family. Until then, he could dote on a grandson and get all the fun of a baby—with the ability to hand it back.

“A grandson would be a good preparation for down the road.”

Drake smiled at him. “That it would.”

Luca leaned in and pressed a kiss to Drake’s lips. “Until then—I want to make sure this world is safe for my family… for us… and any family we build in the future.Shifters need to be safe from Lore and Harding.”

“Agreed,” Drake said before taking another kiss. “As this army of Deacon and Bull’s grows stronger, we’ll be able to defeat Project Zed.I know it.”
