Her Irish Dragons – Theodora Taylor

“But be aware you will perhaps not⁠—” “I know, I know. I probably won’t like the answer.” I waved his caveat away, even as my stomach rolled with nerves. “I was just wondering, um…” I wrung my hands in my lap. “Do you think I’m your fated mate?” He stilled. And did that long, long processing thing. “We know you are.” He winced. As if I’d touched a bruise. “The fertility portal has specifically designated you to be here with us.”

I didn’t know what surprised me more. The conviction in his voice. Or the fact that it matched my gut feeling. I’d spent two weeks telling myself that being fated to a dragon might only be a possibility. Like, maybe there was some nearby wolf I was supposed to match with. But deep inside, I’d known…

known it was him. However, that knowing did not make my transition into Mata Dorie mode any less awkward. “The thing is…” I composed my face into a pleasant, conversational smile. “I’ve been here a few weeks, and I understand why I haven’t gone into heat since I’m on the heat control shot, thanks to modern medicine, but…” Aengus did not pick up the lead I was laying down, only stared back at me expectantly, his emerald eyes burning. Which forced me to spit it out.

“I’m wondering why you haven’t made a move.” “Made a move?” He cocked his head, repeating the words slowly. “We do not know this phrasing.” Heat crawled up my neck in a way I knew was probably turning my entire pale-brown face red. “Um, it means shoot your shot—wait, that’s slang, too. I guess the best definition would be, to try to initiate intimacy. Why haven’t you done that…

with me?” “Initiate intimacy,” he repeated slowly, lowering his eyes like this was a foreign concept. But then he raised them again, trapping me in his emerald stare. “Is this about the copious amount of arousal you have been emitting in our presence?” The pleasant, conversational smile remained on my lips. But only because my face was in a rictus as my brain detonated and my entire nervous system announced it was filing for divorce before imploding. “I haven’t…

I didn’t… That’s not what… I don’t know what you think you smelled but….” I hadn’t known the knot that kept tightening inside me was releasing a scent, but all attempts at denying it died upon arrival under the weight of the knowledge that he could see every stress response going off inside of me. Not anger at being falsely accused, but the elevated heart rate, blood rushing to face, abject horror of being called out.

Aengus just sat there with the patience of someone who was way, way better at waiting out a reluctant interviewee than me.

Also by Theodora Taylor About the Author OceanofPDF.com Prologue PROLOGUE “You must go to Ireland,” Magnus, the King of the Scottish Wolves said.

“It can only be you,” my Aunt Tara, the Queen of the Scottish Wolves declared. “And this is our only chance for peace between our kingdoms.” “Nì thu seo airson do rìgh agus do bhanrigh,” King Magnus insisted. I had to fumble with my extremely rusty Scottish Gaelic for the translation: You will do this for your king and queen. Then Aunt Tara added in her flat, completely unlilted Canadian English: “Dorie, you will do this for your kingdom.”

Less than two weeks later, Sadie, the warm and friendly Queen of the Irish Bears, greeted the private plane they’d sent for me herself. “Welcome to our kingdom! Oh my, you’re all grown up! Are you okay with hugs?” Eight days after that hug, I was pushed backward into an ice-cold lake, plunged to my certain death.

Only then did I realize… Not one person… Not the King of the Scottish Wolves… Not the Queen of the Scottish Wolves… Not Sadie or any of the other royals I’d met in the Irish Bear’s secret kingdom… Not one of them had truly answered my original question. As I sank into the lake’s dark depths, weighed down by a duffel bag that might as well have been a pair of concrete shoes, I asked that question again, the words bubbling in the water….

He raised shades and threw open windows, introducing light and air to a space that hadn’t known either for weeks. “Angghh!! What the hell, Albie?”

I threw an arm over my eyes and was nearly knocked out by my own smell. Nonetheless, I managed to choke out, “Maem said to leave me alone.” At least she’d told Granni Claudine that.
