The Alpha Dragon's Prisoner

In For a Landing- Xander

My dragon circles around the landing area until it is clear. I can see a few of the guards looking up at me as well as some of the other dragons on our premises. I have always known that it would be questioned of why I didn't want anyone to see me with my robe off. For years, even during the last of my childhood they have respected my need for privacy. I can only hope that they will continue to do so.

Eventually there will need to be a time when others will have to see our marks.

"I have already told you that when such a time comes, then it will be fine. Until then you were to stop your pestering and take the measures I asked for" I remind him.

You know I'm not surprised that our mate didn't want to know us. You haven't let anyone else here know us either. Might be something that you want to change.

"I will be open and honest with our mate. That would be different than how I am with our people" I tell him.

Finally.

He swoops down to the smooth cement landing pad and rapidly changes our form. A growl leaves my chest because he didn't allow me to make sure that the trees beyond the landing pad were clear before changing. I rush over to my robe and wrap it around my body as I survey the area. I finally allow my shoulders to relax seeing that I am in the clear.

"That could have been a close call. Don't do it again" I warn him.

I knew that we were in the clear. I wouldn't betray your trust like that. You are lucky that we are the only golden dragon so they are able to tell when to clear the landing pad.

I don't even bother giving him an answer as I make my way to my cabin. He still shouldn't have don't that. Still mad that someone could have seen us I shove him to the back of my head not even wanting to see his snout. It's not often that I get mad at my dragon and think that he deserves a punishment. I always feel guilty when I push him away because it is his body too. However, he has his own quirks that I don't get in the way of. The least he could do is care about mine.

As I enter my cabin the door slams behind me. Walking over to my kitchen, I open the fridge and down an entire bottle of water. When I turn around I see that someone has taken the liberty and bought me food for dinner. I know that I could always go to the cafeteria and get food like everyone else. I just hate the stares when I do. All the underhanded questions about my needing to shift alone are also the reason that I stopped going.

Deciding that I would rather wait to eat I head to the stairs wanting to shower. Taking a long fight has always made me sweaty afterwards. Having the thought make me think about my mate. That had to have been a long drive that she took on the bus to get here. I wonder if she has had the chance to get a change of clothes and to eat. That probably something that I should have checked. As I take the stairs I decide to link Maximus.

"Was she able to get comfortable in her accommodations" I ask. I try to keep my tone casual so that he doesn't make this mind link last a long time. As my beta I do need to mind link him often. I have over the last few weeks learned that if our mind links are too long that he can get quite annoying.

"Made sure she is good and comfortable in her cabin. Food should've been brought to her too. Now make your directions quick, I was about to be in the middle of something" he grunts.

"You know she is already pregnant right. You might want to give the poor woman a break" I say taunting him. I should already know that he has heard enough of these taunts. Everyone in our clan knows exactly how much he and his mate like each other. Before we all got the hang of the mind link, we were subjected to quite a few of their sessions before we could stop them.

"If you had of taken the time to know your mate before telling her everything to rush the process, you could be in my position. Now since you don't want anything and have almost ruined sexy time with my mate, I will be closing this link."
