Beastblood - The Lost Heir Part 5

The clinking of gold was music to my ears as I swam through the mounds of my hoard with a satisfied grumble rumbling from my chest.

“Zach! We’ve been looking everywhere for you. You are going to be late to the council meeting.” Jadelyn crossed her arms at the edge of my hoard, staring me down. “Stop playing with your gold.”

Ducking back below the mounds of gold, I sank to the bottom of my hoard and pushed myself through the coins.

It was fun. I wasn’t sure exactly how to describe it, but as a dragon, it was like a kid’s joy and a lover’s embrace at the same time. Fuck, gold was wonderful, and my gold was damn near perfect.

I popped my big draconic head out at the edge of the pile where Jadelyn stood.

My platinum blonde mate was unamused as she arched an eyebrow at me. “Zach.” There was a warning in her tone. “We don’t have time.”

I let out a low rumble, and she softened a touch, running her hand along my snout.

“If I’d known you were going to be like this with your hoard, I would have made you leave it all at the conclave.” She brushed a few coins off of me and kissed my snout. “Now come on, my big dragon mate.” She stood, waiting.

I grabbed the ledge and shifted back into my human form, pulling myself up to her stark naked. Jadelyn bit her lip, looking me up and down once before shaking her own head.

“We have to go,” she said, more to herself than to me. “Get some clothes on before I jump you. You still haven’t put a baby in any of us.”

Pausing halfway to getting clothes out of my bracer, I raised a brow. “What was that?”

“Nothing.” Jadelyn pushed my back and shooed me up the ladder that led out of the enchanted space under my mattress.

“Pregnancy is not nothing,” I shot back. I already knew that Yev and Morgana had stopped any preventative measures, and Yev had been showing up in my bedroom most nights.
