demanded.
She walked to the door thinking he probably didn’t believe her. His reply had been curt and demanding as if he was trying to placate her. She smiled to herself as she waited for him to follow her outside.

Kharis stepped outside to find the balcony empty. Was she trying to play him for a fool? When she said, she wanted to talk his heart had soared. He had prayed to the gods and goddesses that she would come around and accept him. Now though she was trying to make him look like a fool.
“There’s nothing out here, Kelly. Do you dislike me that much that you have to make me look like a fool?”
He turned on her with such speed she stumbled as she took a step back. He had to reach out and grab her before she fell to the ground and hit her head. After he had steadied her on her feet once again, he repeated his question.
“Answer me. Do you hate me that much to make up a lie?”
She shook her head as he got in her face. He had enough of her stubborn ways. If she didn’t want him then fine, he would just have to accept it.
“I never said I hated you! I just told you that I want to stay here…with you.”
Her voice trembled and her eyes glittered with unshed tears. “Then why have you brought me out here?”
His eyes roamed over her face for any hint of another lie. They stopped when they reached the puffy lips he had just tasted for the second time. He still held on to her and refused to let her go until she told him the truth.
“Turn around and you’ll see,” she said quietly to his face.
“Turn around? Okay, I’ll turn…” his words faded away as he turned and got his first look at the green dragon staring back at him. “By the Gods!”
The dragon standing before him let out a loud roar. Behind him, Kelly was laughing at his reaction to her lie as he called it.
“It’s not possible!” Serelath! Come, I need you to come see something. NOW! He turned to face Kelly with a shocked expression. “I owe you an apology, little one.”
She sauntered over to him and stop inches away. “I too owe you an apology. I….I didn’t want to give you a chance. I was selfish.”
He engulfed her in his arms and held on tight. His hopes soared as his heart sped up . Is she really starting to accept me? He buried his nose in her hair and inhaled. Gods, he could stay as he was for the rest of his life and be happy. The female he was destined for was in his arms and she had a dragon!
The sound of flapping wings made him lift his head as he saw Serelath land on the railing next to the green dragon.
Who is this dragon and why is she here?
I was hoping you could tell me. My mate says the dragon belongs to her now, but how is that possible? His eye stayed glued to his dragon as he spoke through the mind link.
Serelath turned to the dragon and gave her a suspicious look. What is your name and why are you here?
Parath grew to her full height as she faced a much larger dragon. She had bowed her head in respect to the older dragon before she spoke. I have been chosen to form a mind link with the Earth female, Kelly.
Serelath snorted then blew out a puff of fire. That does not happen! The last female dragon to have a mind link was over a hundred years ago. What makes you think you have a link to this female?
Kharis and Kelly stood watching as the dragons conversed in silence. He could hear everything Serelath was asking but no the replies from Parath. He looked down to his mate and whispered, “Can you hear what she is saying?”
She looked up at him and nodded. Incredible!
She can hear everything I say. I felt the pull of the link as I was flying over the city. I knew my female was here in the city, I could feel it. Ask me anything you wish me to ask my female. Parath slid closer to the dragon staring her down.
Serelath though for a moment. Ask the female how she came to
