forward before they had a chance to draw blood. She had no doubt that would’ve made them happy. As she stepped out from the trunk, little shits behind her, the wind in the trees picked up. At least, that’s what it seemed like.

Wren glanced up to see to see two limbs bending toward the ground. She threw her arms up for something to grab onto and she found herself flying up through the air as the guards were swept away like dirt under a rug. Another stem wrapped around her waist and took her higher into the tree well out of their reach.

The troll stood opened mouth, staring up at her. Then he smirked. “All right. I guess we’ll see you and the villagers as they run out of the woods to the creek. And as they do, we will kill each and every one, including the children, until I get my stone.”

She snorted. Whatever. There was no reason why they would leave the protection of the forest. And if they tried to invade the village, the little guys would never make it over the high domes creating a barrier around the living area. She wasn’t worried until she saw troll guy use magic to create a fireball between his hands.

The fire snapped and crackled differently than normal fire. The flames were a deeper red, some almost black. The reason hit her—black magic. The troll was using black magic to start a forest fire to chase everyone to the creek for safety. Holy shit. She had to do something. As she watched, troll dickhead threw the ball into the tree next to her. Almost instantly, the entire tree was ablaze with the fire stretching out to other trees and grabbing on.

This was so not good.

Chapter Twenty-Six

Xenos could not believe the elders had taken his clothing and shoved him into a berm, then sealed the door. What the dragon shit were they trying to do? Then he heard movement behind him and smelled female arousal.

As soon as the scent hit him, his tigron cringed, because it smelled sour compared to their mate’s. It did not want this female inside with him. He spun around to see a beautiful female with breasts larger than any female in the village, except his mate.

“Hello, Alpha.” Her voice was soft and creamy. She strode up to him, placing her hand on his chest, sliding it down his stomach, below his waist. When he snapped out of his stupor, realizing now what the plan was, he thrust his hips back before her hand reached his cock.

“I apologize,” he said. With him bent over with his ass sticking back, she leaned forward and placed her lips on his. He snapped back so quickly that he hit his head against the entrance wall that had been sealed.

He scooted around to the side, trying to avoid her hands. She seemed to have four of them as he was having difficulty fighting her off. “No, really,” he said. “I can’t do this.”

She smiled at him. “Don’t worry about that, My King. I am the chosen one for you. I’ve been preparing for your return. I will get you able to do this.’”

“That’s what I’m afraid of,” he mumbled, pulling her hand away from his cock again. “I don’t want to make anyone mad, but—”

The female suddenly took her hands back. “Am I not pretty enough for you?” Tears filled her eyes and now he felt like dragon shit for upsetting her.

“You are beautiful, truly—” Her smile returned as did her hands. He was sure his ass was smeared with dirt from dragging it along the wall trying to escape her lithe fingers. “No, you don’t understand—”

“I do, My King. Just relax and let me do what I’ve been trained to do.”

He finally grabbed both her hands in his. “That’s the problem. I don’t want you to do something because it’s your duty. You need to want to do it because you love the one you’re with.”

She stared at him. “I don’t understand. The king must have an heir immediately. That is tradition.”

Was that so? “Then why doesn’t my sister have a child? She was the leader for two hundred cold moons.”

“She does have a child.”

He froze in place. Had he not heard his sister tell him she had a child when she mentioned that she and her mate decided not to be together so she could focus on leading? Had he missed that? “But she doesn’t have a mate,” he
