“Yeah, I want to say they are important. It keeps sticking out in my mind. I do think there is some dark magic, and you said that rogues are experimenting with different types of supernatural blood.” Kane nodded again.

“They are trying to get dragon’s blood, or Sorceress Prinna was anyway. Alaneo said it would hold a lot of power since the blood has magical properties in it and being a shifter.”

“Do you think the magic used on us had the blood of a dragon?” Kane shook his head, scratching his neck.

“I don’t think so. Alaneo said that this dragon’s blood would be extremely potent. If the spell is breaking after just a week from you, then they couldn’t have possibly used it.” Biting my lip, my body shifted. Even if we were completely naked, we were so deep in conversation that Kane hadn’t once tried to use it to his advantage.

Poor baby is stressed.

“Maybe my healing power is doing it?” I questioned myself. My healing abilities had been mainly for outward wounds. I could heal the flesh, but anything else had been too difficult, and I wasn’t sure how well I could heal magic that harmed the body.

“No, it’s strong magic that was used, definitely dark. Prinna was adamant about getting dragon shifter blood. She knew it would make the dark magic more powerful.”

“You don’t think someone else already has the dragon’s blood, do you? And that is why she is trying to get some?” Kane’s eyes widened, taking a heavy breath.

“That’s something to think about.” I groaned; my stomach was becoming uncomfortable. Did I forget to eat? I winced a little, rubbing it as the heat fluttered further down my body.

This feels familiar.

Shifting from side to side, Kane’s claws gripped into my hips. “Love.” His nose flared. “Are you?” The heat between my thighs heightened, and I felt wetness now on Kane’s thighs.

Uh-oh.

“You’re in heat.” Kane grinned wickedly.

Chapter Twenty-two

Clara

Ohdear.

Kane’s eyes flashed bright gold, the wolfish grin playing on his face. His grin was so vast that tiny wrinkles appeared around his eyes. Claws lengthening, I felt the small scrapes behind my back. Taking a large breath, his eyes rolled in his head.

“Kane, we aren’t at home,” I said nervously. It had been months since my last heat, and we were at the cottage by the ocean. Warriors had to stay at least a mile away, or Kane would have a hissy fit.

“Marcus.” Kane kept the link open so I could hear him. “My mate is in heat. Take the unmated wolves out of the palace and make camp elsewhere.” Marcus grumbled through the link, swearing.

“Oh, come on, I just got everyone calmed down. The perimeter is clear and…”

“Now! Post two mated warriors outside our door.” Kane’s loud growl through the link echoed through our room. I could almost see Marcus rolling his eyes as he cut off the link before Kane could pounce on me.

Did Marcus have a death wish?

Crawling backward on the bed, he let me go. My naked body fell back, and my legs spread faster than I could close them as Kane darted straight to my lady parts. He bit his lip, his fang just barely hanging over his mouth. “Where are you going?” he huskily whispered.

I squealed, pushing him away, but he was too far gone. His tongue swiped my clit, and my legs fell back to the mattress. “Oh goddess, Kane!” The burning in my stomach, the heat of his breath moving into my core, was so tantalizingly good I couldn’t make him stop.

This was my heat, for goddess’ sake, and we had no protection. “Kane.” I panted. “Wait!” There was no conviction in my voice as I told him to wait, but because his beast’s tongue lengthened, I felt the rough feel on my clit as it dove deeper into my pussy.

“Goddess!” I squealed again, falling over into oblivion. Kane growled, his stubbly beard rubbing against my mound. “Say my name; the goddess can do nothing for you now.” Shivers ran through me while he hummed between the apex of my thighs. He was eating me like I was his last meal until he stuck his fingers inside me.

“I need your smell on me.” His eyes flashed red, a color never before seen in his eyes.

“Kane, your eyes!” I squealed. Chuckling darkly, Torin came forward, crawling up my body to lick up my neck. Pulling on my ear with his fang, my body convulsed, feeling the rush of another orgasm trying to peak. My clit was on fire, swollen from the tugging, but I wanted more. I craved more.

“Kane,” I whined, forgetting his bright red eyes that bore into me. My daze post-orgasm had me pushing my breasts up into his face. My whole body was hot, and I needed him now. Screw the protection. I needed this sated.

“You’re mine.” His thick shaft pushed into me. Letting out a yelp, my legs wrapped around his torso. There were no small movements of lovemaking; he was an animal. Those red eyes planted on me caused me to blush and look away. It was so dark, but Kane was there. I felt him on the other side of his wave of desire.
