Prologue
Kalai
I carefully stepped on the ankle-depth snow, seeing the white-frozen trees around me. It was in the middle of the night but I could clearly see my surroundings almost like daytime.
Where am I? I wondered, brows knitting.
It appeared that I was in a frozen forest. It was all white and foggy. My breath, I noticed, was also cloudy in front of my face.
I could not almost believe it. Everything was white and covered by ice. How could this be? Draconia always had colorful trees. But then again, Draconia is filled with magic. Maybe I should not wonder about this place.
I could feel the extreme coldness but it didn’t affect me at all even with my feet being bare. I was only clad in a flowy red see-through gown that touched the ground. Its long sleeves were also thin and see-through. My slender body, each and every soft curve and edge, was clear to see. But it did not matter. I was all alone here anyway.
The question remained. Where was I? I couldn’t remember being here before, and I couldn’t remember how I got here.
I looked up when I heard the loud flapping of wings in the air. There, I saw a black dragon, whose scales gave off a hint of rainbow. They were amazing! I had never seen a black dragon in my entire life and who had this kind of scale colors. Those scales looked entrancing, in fact. My svelte fingers began to itch, wanting to ran on them and feel them… wanting to know how formidable those scales would feel under my fingers.
His massive wings disturbed the frozen trees and ground as he descended. Some specks of snow were blown in different directions, and some landed on my face and body. I didn’t budge, however. I kept on gawping at this stunning black dragon right before my eyes.
My transfixed gaze followed the white-silver-eyed black dragon that contrasted my surroundings. He growled softly, which connected to my heart for some reason. A hand came up to my chest, feeling the wild beating of my heart. It was weird. This dragon made me feel something I couldn’t fathom at the moment. My startled golden eyes became round and my lips parted when the black dragon finally landed on the snowy ground and shifted into his human form.
He was dark-skinned with black wavy long hair; it looked silky, and I had the urge to run my fingers in them, to know how those tresses would feel like. His wide shoulders could definitely carry two of me without any difficulty. His biceps and strong-looking hands looked sexy that I wanted to feel how hard his muscles were. Without blinking, my gaze fell to his muscle-bundled chest and down to his taut stomach, which contained eight packs of abs. Yeah, I counted fast for that.
I swallowed as my golden eyes went further south. Freaking smokes! He was long… and… yeah, huge! I guesstimated that my hand couldn’t encircle his manhood that was so erect and massive that my throat went dry.
His nakedness suddenly made me feel warm all over. Or should I say feverish because it was not only warm that I felt at the moment? It was absolutely more than that. Now that was weird. Why would my temperature rise by the mere sight of a super attractive shifter? Right, I did say he’s super attractive. Drop-dead gorgeous. My mind was clouded. I couldn’t even find the right word to describe how hot he is!
His lusty gaze traveled up and down my almost naked body. Before I knew it, he was already a few inches away from me, standing too close for my comfort. My breath became ruggedly fast and shallow. When I smelled his musky with a hint of clean smoke scent, something primal rose from deep inside me, making me aware of my throbbing femininity.
It never happened before! What was this he made me feel?
I couldn’t see his face well for some reason but from deep within me, I knew he was handsome. Very, very striking! And, yes, those eyes were definitely captivating. I couldn’t even move from where I stood.
Our eyes held for a couple of moments before I heard his deep husky voice. “Kalai, my beloved ultimate one, you have no idea how long I have waited for you to see me.”
My lips parted.
What? To see him naked?
He was right. I had no idea at all!
But how does he know me anyway? And what did he just say? I’m his beloved mate? My mind wanted to scream.
I blinked fast, disbelieving his words. I started to step back but his arms were like steel bands that snaked around my small waist, which made me gasp.
“No! Let me go!” And yet, my body surrendered to him, doing the thing opposite my very own words. My arms clung around his neck.
What is wrong with me?
My thin gown magically vanished in half a second, resulting to my sudden inhalation. Who wouldn’t be astonished in my place? However, my body seemed to have a mind of its own. When he lifted me up effortlessly from the ground, my legs instinctively wrapped around his waist. Tightly.
“My Kalai…” he whispered breathlessly. “I’m going to make you mine now!”
I was barely aware that my back already connected to a giant frozen tree, whose leaves were frozen as well. I was only conscious of how that massive rod plunged deep inside me without a proper foreplay! And yet, the searing pain I felt was coupled with my body’s desire that he set ablaze…
“Ohhh…” my prolonged moan, which seemed to echo in the quiet frozen forest.
The leaves and branches shook as he vigorously drove into me again, making the ice fall and rain down on us. But we were oblivious to this. The only thing that my brain could absorb at the moment was the way he rammed into my pliant body.
My dragon screamed with great delight deep inside me… and I was lost in the dark-skinned stranger’s forceful and delicious thrusts…
