The Alpha's Unclaimed Mate novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Even Gavriel Shut Up - Dragons Bow to Power

Dexmon caught fragments of mindlinks mid-meeting and was on his feet before anyone finished speaking.

"Serena."

The word tore out of him, rough and unguarded.

Aegon: What is mate doing. Why is she gold. What is happening.

Aegon slammed against his skin, frantic to break free, as Dexmon sprinted for the training grounds at alpha speed. Stone blurred beneath his feet.

Aegon: Get her now.

Dexmon didn’t answer.

He skidded into the clearing and saw Gavriel.

Again.

Their gazes locked across the chaos. No words passed between them, but something sharp flickered in the air.

Possession.

Challenge.

Dexmon spoke first, his voice cutting clean through the noise, eyes never leaving Gavriel.

"Riders to high formation! Be ready to intervene."

One rider laughed and called back, easy and unbothered. "I don’t think she needs it."

Dexmon and Gavriel both looked up.

Velkaris tore past in a blur of gold and shadow, and every dragon on the field roared in response.

Serena’s eyes still burned with gold light. Power hummed around her, her hair lifting as if the air itself bent to her presence.

Velkaris banked hard, carving a wide arc over the field.

"Velkaris is such a little show off," Gavriel muttered, a rare smile tugging at his mouth.

Another rider grinned. "He’s not the only one."

Laughter rippled through the ranks.

Dexmon’s jaw tightened. What was that supposed to mean?

Velkaris gave one final, triumphant roar and dropped back toward the center of the field, landing with the weight of a god’s heartbeat.

Serena stepped down Velkaris’s bowed head as if it were a set of stone stairs. Not a dragon head.

Then something impossible happened.

Every dragon bowed, heads lowering in perfect unison.

Gasps rippled through the field.

Someone dropped a sword. No one moved to pick it up.

Dragons bowed to one authority alone.

The Commander of the Draken Forces.

But that was Dexmon.

Velkaris lifted his head and looked at Serena with unmistakable affection. His gold eyes softened, bright and pleased in a way none of them had ever seen before. He nudged her gently, possessive and proud, as if she were something precious. As if he had been waiting for her.

And that was the problem.

Because Velkaris already had a rider.
