Chapter 126 pt2
**Draven**
Jace’s heart pounds in his chest, his breath coming in short gasps as he nods. My magic swirls around us, a tangible force that seems to pulse with life. I kneel before Jace, my hands cupping Jace’s face as I lean in, my lips brushing Jace’s forehead. “This mark will bind us, Jace. Body and soul.”
Jace closes his eyes, his body trembling with anticipation as my lips press to his skin. A surge of energy courses through us, a warmth that spreads from the point of contact, radiating through our entire being. The mark is subtle, a faint glow that fades into Jace’s skin, but its presence is undeniable. Jace feels a shift within him, a deep, primal connection to me that resonates in his very core. We are now bound. I have found my mates at last.
Rory kneels beside us, her hands resting on Jace’s shoulders as she smiles softly. “Now it’s your turn, Jace. Mark him. Show him what you feel.”
Jace’s eyes flutter open, his gaze meeting mine as he hesitates, his submissive nature warring with the desire to reciprocate. My smile is gentle, encouraging. “You can, Jace. I trust you.”
Jace takes a deep breath, his hands trembling as he reaches out to touch my cheek. His dragon instincts guide him, a surge of fire magic coursing through his fingertips as he presses them to my skin. The mark is small, a faint shimmer that mirrors the one I gave him, but it is no less powerful. I gasp softly, my eyes closing as I lean into the touch, my body responding to the bond being forged.
Rory’s smile widens, her eyes glistening with unshed tears as she watches the tender exchange. “And now, Meg,” she says softly, her gaze turning upward.
The night sky darkens momentarily as a shadow passes overhead. A sleek, silver-scaled dragon descends, her wings shimmering like moonlight. Meg, Jace’s dragon, lands gracefully on the terrace, her eyes glowing with a soft, violet light that matches Jace’s. She approaches, her movements graceful, her head lowering as she nuzzles me gently.
I reach out, my fingers brushing Meg’s scales, my magic intertwining with hers. “Mark him, Meg. Let him feel your bond,” Rory instructs. I am thankful for Rory’s guidance and that she is my mate.
Meg’s eyes close as she presses her snout to my shoulder, a faint glow emanating from the point of contact. I shudder, my body responding to the dual marks, the bonds of dragon and shifter intertwining in a powerful display of devotion. Rory steps back, her hands clasped in front of her as she watches, her heart swelling with joy. “You’ve found your fated mate, Draven. And Jace… you’ve found your place.”
Jace looks up, his violet eyes meeting Rory’s, his expression a mix of awe and gratitude. “Thank you,” he whispers, his voice thick with emotion. “For helping me find this.”
I pull Jace to his feet, my arms wrapping around him in a tight embrace. “You’re welcome, love. This is just the beginning.” As the three of us stand together, our bonds solidified, the night air seems to hum with the energy of our connection. Meg takes to the sky, her wings beating powerfully as she soars into the darkness, her presence a reminder of the strength and beauty of our union. Inside the estate, the laughter and chatter continue, but we remain on the terrace, our world narrowed to the intimacy of our shared moment. Rory’s boldness softens as she steps into Jace’s arms, her head resting on his shoulder. “I’m glad I could be a part of this,” she murmurs, her voice warm and sincere.
Jace smiles, his hands coming up to hold her close. “Me too. You’ve given me something I never thought I’d have.”
My arms wrap around both of them, “We’re a family now. And nothing can break that.” As we stand there, our bodies pressed together, the sound of laughter from inside grows louder, mingling with whispers that carry on the night air. My sharp ears catch the words, my brow furrowing as I pull away slightly, my expression turning dark. “Did you hear that?”
Jace and Rory shake their heads, their expressions confused. “Hear what?” Rory asks, her voice laced with concern.
My gaze narrows, my eyes scanning the terrace before focusing on the open window where the voices originated. “Some of the women… they’re planning something. They’re going to try to seduce Cassius, Clint, and Conner the next time Avery’s with James.”
Jace’s eyes widen in shock, his hands balling into fists at his sides. “That’s… that’s terrible. We can’t let that happen.”
Rory’s boldness returns, her lips curling into a mischievous smile. “Maybe we should teach them a lesson. Show them what real seduction looks like.”
My dark smile mirrors hers, my eyes glinting with a dangerous light. “Oh, I like the way you think, Rory. But first… we have some unfinished business here.”
My gaze turns to Jace, my desire palpable as I pull him closer, my lips brushing his ear. “Let’s retire to our rooms. I want to show you just how deep this bond can go.”
Jace shivers at the words, his body responding instinctively as he nods, his eyes glowing with anticipation. Rory follows closely, her hand sliding into Jace’s, her presence a reminder of our now unbreakable connection.
Once inside, the doors to our room closed behind us, shutting out the rest of the world as we surrender to the pleasures of our mating bond. My magic swirls around us, a tangible force that heightens every touch, every kiss, every whispered word. Jace’s dragon instincts stir, his body responding to my dominance with a willingness that borders on eagerness. Rory’s boldness gives way to a softness as she watches, her hands roaming over Jace’s body, her touch a guiding force. My lips trail down Jace’s neck, my hands moving to the buttons of his tailored shirt, undoing them with deliberate slowness. “You’re so beautiful, Jace,” I murmur, my voice a husky whisper. “So perfect for me.”
Jace’s breath hitches as his shirt falls away, his slender frame exposed to my hungry gaze. Rory steps closer, her hands sliding up Jace’s sides, her touch light but insistent. “Let us pleasure you, Jace,” she says, her voice a seductive promise. “Let us show you what it means to be claimed.”
