Destined for the Dragon (Lost Dragons Book 3)

by Zoe Chant

  Alanna could barely bring herself to move, some indeterminate amount of time later. She was lying on her side, Magnus’s arms around her, her back against his chest. She was still breathing hard, her sweat cooling on her skin – and the golden circlet Magnus had crowned her with still upon her head.

  I love you, she sent to him, reaching her hand back to cup his jaw. God, I love you.

  And I love you, came Magnus’s response, only a moment later.

  Alanna was certain she had never felt so relaxed in all her life. Every muscle felt at ease, suffused with a delicious warmth. Even the circlet on her head felt like it was glowing with soft, golden warmth – or perhaps it was. That was some dragon magic she’d have to ask Magnus about sometime.

  Some other time, she thought, as a yawn suddenly overtook her.

  They’d had a long day of hiking, and the uncertainty of what would happen when she met Magnus’s family had left her feeling drained.

  Sleep, my mate. Magnus’s voice drifted into her head, soft and warm. There will be time for everything else later.

  There would have to be, Alanna thought as yet another yawn overtook her.

  Time to learn more about Magnus’s family.

  Time to rebuild his life and his memories.

  Time to help the Loric Coven overcome its difficulties, and meet the new age of peace.

  Time to get to know her own father better.

  But most of all, time for each other.

  Smiling, Alanna drifted into a blissful, contented sleep.
