Chapter 104
SORIN
We stood on the ramparts of the Dragon Lordâs castle, watching the return of the fighters. They carried the body of the Golden One, their commander. Fintan Pendragon, the Dragon Lord, roared. out his displeasure at the death of his revered fighter.
âHow is this possible?â he turned his wrath onto the bearer of bad tidings, a battleâweary dragon shifter.
Kneeling before the wrathful lord, the shifter prostrated himself and said, âMy Lord, the werewolf king demanded the return of his brother.â
âDemanded?â Fintan snarled.
Typical Amaris. I met Helenâs anxious gaze and reached out a hand to comfort her. Her pregnancy was progressing well. Soon we would hold our pup in our arms.
âYes, he said if you do not comply, he will come for us next.â
Smoke escaped from Fintanâs nose, and his eyes turned to slits as he turned to me. âYour brotherâs arrogance is astounding, Sorin.â
âBut there is more, Lord. Before Commander Astarot fell, he injured the werewolf king.â The shifter lifted his head to face Fintan.
Tanwen Pendragon, Fintanâs brother, laughed mockingly. âThen he is as good as dead.â
âWhat does that mean? Is my brother dying?â Conflicting emotions warred in my mind. I should. feel relief, elation, even. But he was still my brother, my twin, my other half. Did I want to see him dead? All I ever wanted was his approval, validation that I was his equal. But that never happened.
Our mother never made it a secret that I was the one she favored to be the next king. She hated my father, although she stood by him in battle and all other matters regarding the kingdom. Her duties. as Luna and Queen were her key priority. But her hatred for Father she mirrored in her dislike for Amaris.

âDragon venom is deadly.â Fintan slapped a hand shoulder. âThis is what youâve been waiting for, Prince Sorin. We must act now while he is vulnerable.â
âLord Fintan is right, my love.â Helen embraced me. âYour time, our time, has finally come.â She stroked over her protruding belly. âRaine is no longer a problem, and your obnoxious brother has met his match.â
âShe is still pregnant with Amarisâ spawn.â And I still couldnât get her out of my mind. She was dangerous. âWe must deal with her.â
âSorin, I give you my word that everything is under control. Athan has a plan to get

Quindin.â Tanwen smiled devilishly.
Helen snorted. âFor all I care, she can stay where she is. Didnât she reject Amaris?â
âThat rumor is doing the rounds, yes,â Fintan mused, stroking his beardless chin. âDo I believe it? Well, that is another question.â
âI can believe it.â I said. âThat would explain why Amaris got injured. He is weaker now that the soulmate bond was broken.â
âWhat are your orders, Lord?â Our attention drew to the shifter, who still kneeled before Fintan.
âWhat are you still doing here?!â roared Fintan. âGet me the second in command. We have a kingdom to conquer.â
Alone in our bedroom, Helenâs excitement reached new heights. She couldnât keep her hands off me. Not that I minded. Within seconds, I had her naked and pinned to the wall, her back to me. Fisting her blonde braid in my hand, I plunged into her hot wetness.
âYes, oh yes, me hard, my king.â
But instead of seeing my mateâs delectable body, her lustâfilled moans spurring me on, all I saw was Raineâs face. I imagined her beneath me, her tight butt spread out for my pulsating dick. I came so hard I felt faint.
Helen didnât finish, and I felt guilty for leaving her hanging. Iâve never been unfaithful to my mate. But this witch, this amberâeyed seductress, invaded even my most intimate moments. She has destroyed me.
Helen turned to me with a sultry chuckle. âGuess the excitement was too much for you, my
If she only knew.
âBut there are ways you can make it up to me.â Her teeth nipped my jaw playfully.
love.â
I had no choice but to give her the release she craved. Even when I went down on her, sucking on her clit, it was Raineâs pussy I imagined satisfying. There was no other way. Raine had to die. Or I would never be free.
âOf course, I have to go, Helen!â I shouted at my anxious mate. I wanted to witness my brotherâs demise at the hands of my allies. If he wasnât dead already.
âThen take me with you. You canât leave me here.â She clung to me. âI deserve this just as much as you do.â
She was right. I owed it to her. My brother had never been kind to her.

âFine, but stay out of the way. We canât endanger our pup.â I touched her distended belly, feeling my son moving about.
âI know you will always protect us, my love.â She touched my face, smiling tenderly.
âWe are ready to move.â Tanwen Pendragon entered our room, dressed for battle.
I linked Helenâs arm through mine, and we followed Tanwen outside. The dragon shifter soldiers. were eagerly waiting for their leader. Tanwen himself would lead them into battle. Feeling apprehensive, I helped Helen onto the back of a silver dragon and jumped on after her. Werewolves. werenât meant to fly, and I didnât feel good about this at all. Especially not having my pregnant mate with me.
âDonât scowl like that, Sorin. My place is at your side.â Helen leaned back onto my shoulder. I clasped her waist tightly.
We were about to take flight when a dragon soldier came sweeping down onto the rampart. He transformed into his human form and bowed before us.
âMy Lords,â he began, struggling to catch his breath. âThere is news.
âWell then, spit it out, Soldier.â Fintan snapped at him.
âItâs the queen, the werewolf queen.â
âYes? What of her?â I was instantly attentive.
âShe has escaped from the Magusâ fortress and sheâs on her way to the werewolf king.â The soldier finished, his chest heaving from exertion.
âIt seems their mate bond is still intact, Sorin.â Fintan snickered.
âThen we must apprehend her before she gets to him!â I snarled, gripping Helen so hard that she cried out. Killing Raine would secure my position as the new werewolf king and free me from my obsession with her.
