Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: My Bed. My Wife. My Fucking Kill.

Kael: Which one will you save, little brother?

Blair made a choking noise. Maddox’s head snapped to her, only to see her holding the blade she had in her hands up to her own throat now.

"Blair. Drop it." The Dragon King command did not work on her either.

Maddox: Sterling. He is running divination through the mindlink. Trace it.

Sterling: Already on it. Jaxon is moving.

Ryker came through the door at dragon speed and right when both women started to draw blood.

He moved to Blair, knocking the blade from her hand, one arm locking around her chest.

His other hand closed over hers on the blade’s hilt and pried it free, finger by finger, and the steel rang when it hit the stone floor. Blair thrashed against him without sound, her mouth open in a scream that produced nothing, her black eyes fixed on the ceiling.

Gwen still had the blade to her throat. The edge had drawn a thin line of blood that ran down her collarbone. Her hand was shaking so hard the steel vibrated against her skin.

Maddox dashed across the room, knocked away the blade, and dropped his fangs into her neck in the same motion. Full extension. Dragon fangs, longer and sharper than wolf canines.

His venom hit her bloodstream like liquid fire. He felt her through their matebond in flickers. He pushed flame through the flicker. It didn’t go at first.

Then his gold flame erupted, surrounding her. The dark magic inside her began to hiss. He could feel it recoiling through their matebond, more and more vividly. More than he should safely. She hadn’t taken his flame yet. Something that might take years even with their connection.

But his dragon hadn’t steered him wrong once and he fully agreed: clear whatever was blocking their matebond at all costs. He couldn’t help if he couldn’t feel her.

Black smoke poured off her in thin ribbons, curling upward towards the ceiling. It tried to touch Maddox, but his dragon was on it. His whole body lit in gold flame.

Then her body seized and she grabbed his arm, not fighting him. Fear washed into him through their matebond aggressively. Hers. A relief. He could feel her.

Jaxon Valerios entered his chambers at that moment. He moved to Blair first, placing both palms against her temples. His hands glowed blue at the knuckles, and he pulled the dark magic from her like drawing poison from a wound.

Blair convulsed once, hard, and then her eyes rolled back to white and she went limp in Ryker’s arms.

"She’s clear." Jaxon said. "Don’t stop until I say."

Maddox held. He wasn’t going to drop until he knew it was gone. Every. Last. Ounce.

His fangs stayed in her neck. His venom kept pumping. His fire kept burning around them in a cocoon of gold that cast the room in amber light.

Gwen’s eyes had cleared for three seconds. Green bleeding back through the black, tears spilling down both cheeks, her mouth forming his name without sound.

Then they closed.

Her body went limp against him. Dead weight. The venom and the fire and whatever her nervous system had just survived took everything she had left.
