I heard that… Her voice enters my mind, causing me to whimper through my dragon lips in surprise.
You did? I ask mentally, drifting closer to the edge where she stands.
She nods, her eyes filled with wonder and amazement. I feel it, too – the shock of becoming so connected to my mate, that we’re able to share the mind link. That’s when I drop my head, my dragon bowing before my Goddess. She reaches out and touches my cheek adoringly, listening intently to the stillness that allows us to hear each other’s thoughts.
I love you, Olivia Jackson.
I love you too, Stryder Vulkan.
If I thought I was whole before, this is taking wholeness to a new level. I finally found the freedom I so desperately sought, in the arms of my beloved, who brings with her something new to uncover each day.
All because she is my fated mate. All because of love.
