Chapter 10

Eddy yawned as he dismounted Yoake. "Come on, let's get you some breakfast." He started to guide her to the dragons' enclosed area.

Yoake walked with authority, just like her owner. It was almost as if she understood Eddy's rank on the squad. His given rank gave her respect amongst the other dragons.

The enclosed area was much like a large dog park, but with different biomes to cater to the dragons' habitats. It also happened to be close to the hatchery. That section was generally closed off so no accidents would happen with cannibalism. Like many other species, dragons weren't above killing their young.

Eddy opened the gate for his princess. "Ladies first."

She sassily whipped him with her tail as she walked by him. The omega stumbled a few steps forward with a wheeze.

"Low blow, Yoake, low blow."

His body was still so sore, and his dragon knew it, teasing him with swats.

She made a snorting noise, waiting for Eddy to hobble in after her.

"Oi, Chen, you're in early," came a voice that Eddy didn't recognize. It certainly wasn't someone in his squadron. "I heard you fired Robert yesterday."

The tone was condescending and judgmental, one that Eddy didn't appreciate. Eddy's eyes shot over to the man speaking to him. He stunk very clearly of alpha.

"I don't see why that concerns you, sergeant." The omega's eyes sharpened threateningly, daring the man to do one thing out of line. "Let me guess, you were a friend of his? And you're here to make me reconsider. You'll either bribe me, threaten me or try to blackmail me. So, tell me, which one will you try?"

He stepped into the alpha's space, even if the man towered over him. Eddy took this as a challenge - one he'd snuff out.

"Listen here, omega, you have no right!"

Suddenly, there was a finger in his face, and a raging pheromone telling him to submit. Eddy would not bow. Instead he grabbed the finger pointing at him, not-so-gently bending it the wrong way, a sick little smile playing on his face. "No, you listen here. I don't give a damn about your opinion, and will get you fired just like I did your friend. Do not ever come to me again like this." Eddy listened to the way the alpha's finger started to pop and crack. He only released when he heard the alpha whimper in something like submission. "Good little alpha. Now, run along."

He waved the man off, and Yoake stepped behind her owner, just for intimidating purposes. She'd bite anyone who would try to hurt what belonged to her.

Begrudgingly, the other officer walked away, leaving the omega and his dragon be.

"Jeez, it's tiring being a bitch so early in the morning." Eddy leaned back into Yoake, who held him up with ease, rubbing her snout against his cheek. "You're the best. Come on, let's feed you." He sighed with a chuckle as he stroked her nose gently.

Slowly, they walked together to the fishery, where Yoake enjoyed trying to capture her own fish.

Eddy pulled his phone out while watching her. This was a good time to add Brett's number to his contacts. It was very tempting to text his newfound mate, even if he wasn't up yet, so he did.
