Only For Her Dragon (Dragon Guard Series Book 6) Read Online Free PDF

Devon’s words caused the entire house to erupt in laughter. “I hate to throw your words back atcha, Bro, but…” the calmest of their Force paused, never breaking eye contact, “it seems as though your girl’s gotcha all tied up in your underwear.”
    Unable to keep a straight face, Aaron laughed along, knowing he was only getting what he deserved. He’d given every single one of his brethren as much shit as he could shovel when they’d found their mates. It was only fair they return the favor. All he had to do was get it together and claim her as his own.
    The razzing went on and on, but soon his brethren moved on. They ordered Chinese food for lunch since several hours were wasted discussing his love life…or lack thereof. The whole crowd hung out watching soccer games he had DVR’d until Royce came into the room with a determined look and his hands fisted at his sides. “Rian’s found another trail.”
    The Guardsmen headed for the door as the older Guardsman went on, “It stops right before the mountain outside of town where we battled the wizards almost two years ago. Rian called Rory and the others to meet us there.” Looking less than pleased, he went on, “I didn’t know he was on patrol tonight.”
    “He wasn’t supposed to be,” Rayne answered as they loaded into the black SUVs parked outside. His tone said there would be words between the Commander of the Golden Fire Clan and the Elder of the Blue Thunder Clan in the very near future. Aaron was glad he had no dog in that fight.
    The tension continued to raise the entire trip. Aaron could feel how much every Guardsman wanted this to be the time they finally caught the traitor. The vehicles stopped and they exited without a word. Rian motioned from behind a row of oak trees far off the beaten path.
    Ever the Commander, Rayne was the first to speak, using their common link to avoid detection. “What did you find?”
    “His scent ends behind the mountain on the far side of the lake. The trail is no more than a month old. Best guess is the traitor used the water to hide his tracks. Kellan found a blood trail as well. It’s Andrew’s. He’s hurt…. or was. If his dragon senses are only intermittent, he may still be healing.”
    As a unit they all turned, looking at the terrain. Aaron could hear several different conversations as each man tried to determine the best way to tackle the search without alerting the traitor to their presence. Rory and the rest of his Force arrived just as Royce said, “We need to split up into four groups. Each group takes a side and we’ll work our way up from the bottom. The little son of a bitch could be anywhere. There are at least a hundred caves and alcoves all over that monstrosity where he could be hiding. We don’t want to spook him.”
    “Roy’s right,” Rory agreed. “I also think we need to have a better game plan. I know Ri was excited, but a bunch of men with knives and swords running around in broad daylight are bound to freak out even the most sane human. Let’s head back to the lair, make a plan, and come back after midnight when the rest of the world is asleep.”
    Aaron watched as the vein in Rayne’s head began to bulge, a sure sign the Commander was about to lose his cool. Devon was the first to speak. “Someone needs to stay and keep watch. If Andrew is here, we need to make sure he doesn’t wander off,” then volunteered , “I’ll take the far side.”
    “I’ll take the east side,” Lennox, one of Rory’s Force, said before turning and disappearing through the trees.
    “I’m going west,” Aidan responded. Then to Aaron alone, he said, “You better go check on your lady.”
    Aaron caught only the slightest glimpse of his twin’s back as he used his enhanced speed to take his post, but his chuckle was loud and clear in his mind.
    “Asshole,” was Aaron’s only response.
    “South is mine,” Kellan, another of the Blue Thunder clan, chimed in before evaporating into thin
