Nadine Book 2

121. Edwin

I wake up late the next morning sleeping on Mason.

I sneak off him and he pulls me right back. He gives me the biggest hug. "Now I get forever with you."

"Are you going with us to try and stop the time loop?"

"Yes. I'm not letting you go to another planet without me."

"Well forever might not be that long."

He smiles at me. "It's still forever."

"How is Amalok?"

"Annoyed that I don't breathe as much. Honestly it is weird. I get most of my information from scent."

"You can still smell all the time though. We just never really did. We're not use to it. It's not something any of us ever missed."

"You all need to learn how to use that."

I start laughing. "When me and Elek were sneaking around, you were the only 1 that ever really caught on."

"Oh I know. You 2 smelled like each other all the time." He rubs my back. "It's weird though because now you don't."

I nod. "Yea it changes everything when you find out someone is your mate. No reason to sneak around. It's not fun anymore. No risk of getting caught or anything."

"You and Tye still sneak around."

"Not because we're afraid of being caught though. We just both like being sneaky."

"I'll sneak around with you sometime. I'm the best at it."

My eyebrows shoot up. "You better not be."

He starts laughing. "I'll only sneak around with you."

"You better. I'll sick my dragon on you."

"I'm not afraid of that dragon. She likes me."

"She don't like anybody."

"She don't think I'm sexy?"

"She don't think anyone is sexy really. She's a dragon. She seems to like Tre and maybe Dipak a little. The rest of them she just kicks their asses at times."

"Really?"

I nod. "Dragons aren't like you and Amalok. Or even me and my dragon. Me and Thora are the only vampires I've ever known that will let the dragons take us over. That's not what dragons do normally. They just watch and analyze everything. They see everything, all the time. When we need them, they talk to us in our heads. The boys all use their dragons strength. But that's all. When the boys eyes go red, it's because they have the dragon strength summoned. Not because the dragon is controlling them."

"So I will never be giving control of my body to the dragon?"

"Correct."

"What about when they are flying around as dragons?"

"It will still be you. The dragon isn't in control then either."

"I didn't realize that."

I nod. "Always you."

He smiles "That's why you were so confused about sex. The dragons don't do that."

"I don't think she has."

-Dragon you ever had sex with my boys?-

-No need. Kissed a couple.-

"No she hasn't. She said she kissed a couple of them." I give him a funny look. "I bet they thought that was different."

"A lot of them call her the same thing they call you. Baby, sweetie, stuff like that."

I nod. "I don't know what else they would call her. Nadine I guess. She's still me."
