Dragon Mated (Supernatural Prison #3)(2)
Author: Jaymin Eve

Calm had slipped out of reach again; my thoughts were red hot, anger mingling with a tinge of sorrow. The Compass quads were my best friends; we had been a pack since we were two. That was all, just pack and best friends. Until a few days ago.

What happened then was the best thing in my life. Braxton Compass. Six and half feet of chiseled hotness, with double dimples, hair as black as the darkest night and eyes so blue the sky was jealous. We’d both fought the attraction for years, me because I was a hardheaded dumbass who was afraid to break our friendship pact and possibly ruin the pack dynamics, and Braxton because I was a hard-headed dumbass and he was waiting for me to figure out that there was so much more between us than friendship.

He had been waiting for me for years. Which was new knowledge for me, and it totally had my emotions on overload.

My body still tingled thinking about the few brief times we’d been together, and as luck – and fate – would have it, Braxton was my true mate … well, sort of. Something had malfunctioned with the bond; it was only partially there, but I didn’t give a flying crap on toast. He was my true mate, chosen by the gods, and for me there was no other choice, no matter if Larky thought otherwise.

Just behind Braxton in my heart were the rest of the Compasses. They were my best friends too, just minus the romance. Their faces crossed my mind, images tangled together, each one more beautiful and badass than the next. Tyson, the wizard with his brown-auburn hair and honeysuckle eyes; Jacob, the slightly more fine-boned fey, with his white-blond hair and leaf-green eyes; Maximus, a massive vampire who rocked some sexy dirty-blond hair and dark brown eyes; then lastly Braxton, dragon shifter and badass. They were quads. They were beautiful. They were arrogant assholes with dimples and attitude problems and I missed them so freaking much it actually hurt to breathe.

My wolf and dragon both started to howl then, and deciding I didn’t give a single shit if the douchey king was watching, I threw back my head and let my anguish pour out of me in one long stream of hoarse screams and growling curses.

My grief was cut off by a low, measured voice. “In my time, ladies did not speak so … vulgar. I think I kind of like it.”

I was on my feet so fast the room spun. The amused voice was close. Somehow douche king had managed to get into my room and was standing before me without having set off a single one of my senses. Goddamn sneaky shifter.

Air exhaled rapidly from my nose as I stared the asshole down. He was handsome, there was no denying that. Though that cold, regal thing he had going on did nothing for me.

Gray eyes flashed as he looked around the room. The amusement did not fade from his quirked lips. “I see your accommodations weren’t to your liking.”

I didn’t take my eyes from him but I knew what he was referring to. Upon my arrival the room had contained three pieces of furniture: a large four-poster bed: heavy, dark timbered, with netting on all sides; a dresser; and a small side vanity. All three were now in a million pieces strewn across the slate floor, most of which was hidden by the ton of feathers I’d ripped from the mattress. It was almost pretty in here now, a snowy massacre of wood.

He paused, as if waiting for me to join his conversation. I didn’t say anything; I was not playing nice with Larky. His eyes shuttered, and in an odd movement he almost stumbled forward, as if he couldn’t help himself.

That’s right, asshole. Come a little closer.

His hands were clenched at his sides, those eyes turning from light gray to a dark tumult of emotions. I remained stationary; my expression did not shift, and as he tilted that golden face to the side – in a movement very much like a predator – I knew he was trying to understand what was going on in my head.

My guess was that in his previous life this handsome, charismatic, and powerful piece-of-shit usually had women falling all over him. Looked like it was time to introduce him to few home truths about Jessa Lebron. She fell at no one’s feet.

“You should eat, Jessa,” he said as he moved forward again, smoother this time, stepping around the mass of debris which separated us. “I know you love food.”

How? Seriously, how did he know anything about me? He’d been stuck in the land of asshole souls for the past thousand years. I wondered if his daughters, the bitch twins, had managed to stay in contact with their father.

I couldn’t keep quiet any longer. “Where are we?”

Larky’s grin widened, as if he’d won some sort of dominance challenge in getting me to talk. I was just information gathering so I knew where the frig to run when I managed to get free.

And I would be getting free.

“This is my castle in the sky; it has to stay in Faerie. You know how the humans get when things are outside of their control or understanding. Plus, it’s much easier to float here with all of the magic in this land.”

Dammit! I had guessed right. Faerie. I had no idea how to get out of this realm, but … Louis had tracked me here before. I hoped he could do it again, just as soon as I got out of this place – there’d definitely be some sort of spell here cloaking my energy. The entire castle was probably hidden.

“How can you be here? I thought this land was dying. That’s why there was a mass exodus of fey and demi-fey, right?”

Those gray eyes were calculating as they locked on my face. “Are the leaders still spinning that story?” He continued to stare, and I kind of got the feeling he thought I was an idiot.

“Yes, they’re still spinning that story!” I snarled.
