Dawn was sitting on the chair watching him. She had her pregnancy reports in hand. Her face erupted into a beautiful smile when he cracked open his eyes."How are you feeling darling?" she asked as she leaned forward in her chair.

"Never better!" he replied and beckoned her with his index finger to come to him. "Come here."

​​

She shook her head. "No! Because if I come there, we are going to waste another afternoon."

"So what? I can waste my lifetime with you." He forced her.

She raised an eyebrow. "I didn't know that my husband was wasting his life with me."

"Well, I can get wasted completely, of you like, in between your thighs. It would be my pleasure to suck up that honey. It is addictive."

"Shut up!" she said as her face flushed with embarrassment. "Just get up from the bed and we have to go back."

"Not until I get a kiss from my baby's mom," he said stubbornly and placed his hands behind his head.

Arrogant bastard.

She shook her head and ambled to him. Keeping her hands clasped at the back, she gave him a peck on his lips. Before he could grasp her, she was gone. She laughed at him and said, "If you don't hurry up, I am going to go alone to the Silver Mansion."

An hour later, the car parked in front of the Silver Mansion. Cole and Gayle were standing out to receive the couple. Cole rushed to Dawn and squeezed her tight in his embrace.

Daryn coughed in his fist, "Careful."

"Dawn, you are not leaving this town until you have that baby and even if you are leaving, I am going to accompany you." He gave a side-glance to Daryn and added, "Apparently people are unable to protect you!"

Dawn couldn't help laughing at her younger brother. "It's so nice to see you back!" she said and tapped his nose.

"How are you feeling now?" he asked, sizing her up as he held her shoulders.

"I am well Cole," she drawled. From the corner of her eyes, she observed that more security was added on the turf.

Gayle stepped down the stairs and hugged Dawn. "You cannot imagine the happiness you have given me." He referred to her pregnancy. "I don't know how, but I am sure things are going to change for the better for all of us."

"Thank you father," she smiled at him.

Daryn caught her hand from behind and they all entered the mansion. "Are Caleb and Pia back?" he asked with a frown.

"Yes," replied Gayle in a clipped tone.

Ever since they had come two days back, Caleb had met him only once and Pia tried to remain in her room. There was hardly any interaction.

Daryn took in a deep breath and looked at Dawn who bit her lip. He assured her through their mind link that it will be fine.

Happy to be back home, Dawn shirked off the uneasiness that was about to grip her. She decided on avoiding Pia at all costs. As she walked inside, a very familiar scent, that of forest and fresh breeze hot her nostrils. 'Are you around?' Dawn asked immediately. 'Where are you? I can smell you so close to me.'

Quetz didn't reply.

Confounded more than ever, she sauntered further inside when suddenly she came face to face with a massively built, very handsome boy with very pointy emerald hair and very blue eyes. "Oh my God!" she gasped looking at him with a frown. "Who's that punk?" she asked in a jarring voice thinking that he was one of Cole's friends. And then— realization hit upon her. She pressed her hand to her mouth.

"Hello Dawn," the boy said in a deep baritone voice.

"Q— Quetz!" she whispered, recognizing that voice instantly.

Quetz smiled. "It's nice to see you too."

Dawn left Daryn's hand and walked to stand right in front of him. Her dragon was standing in front of her in a human form and that too in this sphere. "How did you manage— how come— hell—" Her sentences were all unfinished. Her thoughts were so far from her mouth that she didn't know what she was saying. She continued to stare at him with an open mouth as her posture stiffened and her skin tingled. Her brain formulated no views, no opinions, no thoughts, only one thing – shock. She was bereft. She measured him top to bottom. He was wearing a plain white shirt paired with low waist blue jeans and black sandals. His emerald hair stood out, falling like silk just below his neck.

"That's Quetz, sister. Do you know him?" Cole's dulcet voice came from behind. He was a little shocked at Dawn's behavior. Was she drooling over this boy?

Her reverie broke and she shuffled a step back. When she found her voice again, she said, "Hello Quetz."

Quetz obviously enjoyed her situation. He tilted his head and a smile came on his face. 'I told you, I look a thousand times better than Daryn!' he communicated mentally. 'Stop ogling at me.'

Her mouth dropped. 'What?' she shot back, as awkwardness dissipated. 'Don't tell I have another narcissist in making! I trained you well,' she said. By now she was inundated with a variety of feelings and irritation topped that list, no amazement, no wait… annoyance… She shook her head. It was such a pleasant surprise. She couldn't believe that she was seeing her dragon in the human form. 'Thank you.' She said from the core of heart while staring in his eyes.

'Its no biggy!

By this time Daryn was filled with jealousy. 'You don't have to stare at him like that. You are looking ridiculous,' he conveyed to her as he walked forward and snatched her upper arm. Never had he been so jealous of a man. Now the jealousy was enough to stretch over his thirty-two years of existence. He growled, 'I am sure you don't want him.' Saying that he pulled her away from there. Over his shoulders he announced, "Dawn is very tired. She needs rest. We will join you for lunch."

As daryn pulled her away, Dawn called out, "Have fun Quetz. See you soon." She really wanted to talk to him. This was such a fantastic thing and how could she not talk about it.

'Are you mad?' Dawn chided Daryn with a chuckle. 'But I have to say that he is very attractive.' She could sense his jealousy and had to play with it.

Daryn's grip tightened over her. He didn't know why, but he was stunned by his own reaction. He couldn't allow his wife to stray. There was no left in this world to touch her, but Quetz couldn't be trusted. The way he looked at Dawn…'He looks like a gypsy!'

Dawn couldn't hold her laughter anymore and she broke into one until they reached their bedroom. He shoved her to bed and immediately pinned her beneath him. Grating his shaft along her length he said, "There can only be me in your life, okay?"

"I love when my Alpha gets all jealous," she said in a husky voice with a smile lingering on her lips. She moved her head up and kissed him. "I think we can start from here…"

"By Skadi! This woman is going to be the death of me!" he said as he peeled his shirt off and tossed it aside. He pinned her hands over her head.
