The men who were guarding Mimi had their attention diverted to the dragon that had slammed through the door, leaving Becca unseen as she began firing. She went through both clips and had only taken out three of the four men, so Becca ducked behind the doorway to her right, the coat closet.
The last man that remained guarding Mimi fired in Becca’s direction, splintering the wood of the doorframe. Becca was enough of a distraction, however, for another dragon to come swooping into the house and take out the last man.
Becca emerged from the closet to see Jeremy removing the metal collar and chains that the order had bound Mimi in. She smiled in relief at the sight of him.
When he looked up and saw her, Jeremy left his sister to finish undoing her shackles and immediately rushed over to Becca, wrapped his fingers around the back of her head and pressed his lips against hers, locking her in a passionate kiss. “Have I ever told you how amazing you are?”
CHAPTER TEN
The battle that had taken place at the Ladons’ estate never reached the news stations. Many of the dragons who assisted that day were present in May when Jeremy and Becca were officially married on the front steps of Nicholas Ladon’s house. Beneath the wedding decorations, only the barest of scars remained in the wood and stone.
Jadon stood as Jeremy’s best man, although it was common knowledge that the other twin was just as involved in the relationship. The judge who officiated the wedding acknowledged this and added in a line for Jadon to give the bride a “brotherly” kiss as well.
Mimi was Becca’s maid of honor, having apologized for weeks straight after it was discovered that her search for Jeremy and Jadon is what led the Order of Saint George to finding them in the first place. Her driver, Charles, had been an undercover member of the order, working for Mimi as a ruse to discover just how strong the presence of dragons was in Seattle; finding the rest of her family just happened to be a perk.
Nicholas Ladon proved beyond a doubt that he could throw a more extravagant party than his sons by holding the reception at his house. He imported the finest chefs from abroad as well as the best classical and modern entertainment that money could buy. Alex, Rhonda, and the rest of Becca’s friends from New York all attended as well as her family, who didn’t even know about Jeremy until they received the wedding invitation.
Becca was amazed at her mother’s beauty as she came forward to hug her daughter wearing the designer dress that Nicholas had picked out for her. A part of Becca wanted to explain everything that had happened to her mother, to make sense of why she was marrying a man she had met only a year ago, but her mother never even gave her the opportunity as she cried and congratulated her daughter.
“You’re so beautiful,” she said as she dabbed at the tears with a napkin. “You know, your sister is a little jealous because you managed to outdo her wedding.”
They both laughed and her mother urged her to go mingle with her guests. Jeremy met the rest of her family and some of her friends from college while Becca met a great portion of the dragon community.
Victoria was there, along with her brother.
“How are those nightmares,” Victor inquired privately as their visits had become less frequent over time.
“Few and far between,” Becca smiled while Victoria gave her a hug and squealed with delight.
While Jeremy paraded her around, they received their congratulations from everyone until Jadon interrupted the musicians to announce that it was time for the bride and groom’s first dance as a newlywed couple.
Rolling her eyes, Becca let Jeremy lead her out onto the dancefloor. Her dress swirled around her feet as he spun her in a circle, before taking her hand in a waltz position. She could feel the eyes of the crowd on her as they waited for the music to begin. Becca blushed and smiled as a song from her favorite Disney movie began to play.
“You really know how to make a girl feel like a princess,” she whispered into his ear as he spun her around the floor.
Jeremy looked like a prince in his white tux; his hair was combed back for once, and his blue eyes shone like glittering gemstones. He smiled that charming crooked smile of his and kissed her.
Finally, Becca and her dragons had found peace.
THE END

I never imagined the drama that would ensue once Dwight stepped into my life.
All I wanted to do was to make a name for myself–to claim my little piece of the pie–and buy the neighborhood bar I’ve been working at for the last few years. Little did I know that I’d be attracting the Wolf Brotherhood into my life.
They want to stake their claim on my bar, but just because they’re the most feared werewolf biker pack in Portland doesn’t mean that I’ll just roll over and let them have what they want–not without a fight.
Well, I went a little too far one night and really ticked them off, and now Dwight has this twisted plan to stage my death to get the ‘Brotherhood off my back. He’s my maker, and my lover, so I should be able to trust him–and God, there’s just something about the fire in his touch that makes my troubles melt away; something about his deep, alluring gaze that pulls me in every time–but Dwight also happens to be a member of the ‘Brotherhood…
Now my sister Sera is getting roped in on the drama, and they’d better not lay a finger on her. Rumor has it, she’s teamed up with a rival pack to get to the bottom of my “death.”
They’ll stop at nothing to take me out, but I’m tired of being their victim; the Wolf Brotherhood has no idea what’s about to hit them.
They’ve messed with the wrong bitch this time.
