they show any sign of weakness or emotion,
they are destroyed.”
    Nora shuddered. “And
they can shift into snakes.”
    “Yes. It takes
discipline and iron will to retain your shifting abilities on Earth.
It was stressful, physically and mentally, to adjust quickly to the
atmosphere on Earth. To hold on to our shifting abilities took extra
effort and energy. But the Slayors are soldiers, tough, cold and
merciless. They found us, and they'll do everything to wipe out the
surviving Dracans.”
    Nora chewed her lip as she
nodded to herself. “That little old lady...” she began.
“She's a Dracan.”
    “Yes. One of the
civilians on that ship with us.”
    “I thought she was
human.”
    “If I'm not wrong, I
think her dragon has been asleep for a long time, more than half a
century now,” Edriq said, quirking a smile. “And she
probably has a human husband, human children and grandchildren.”
    When her eyes and mouth
rounded, he went on levelly, “Many Dracans have found human
mates and settled into simple, peaceful, productive lives. Some of
the people you work with may be Dracans, or descendants of Dracans.”
    He leaned forward and looked
deep into her eyes. “Dracans are very sexually compatible with
humans.”
    “Oh.” Nora
blinked and swallowed, acutely aware of the blush blooming across her
cheeks. “ Oh .”

CHAPTER
THIRTEEN

    Nora looked down, suddenly
unable to meet the heat and intensity of Edriq's gaze. No man had
ever looked at her like this before. There was desire in his eyes,
but also a fierce, raw want and yearning.
    She didn't know what to feel.
Flattered? Frightened? Or perhaps she shouldn't be feeling
anything at all.
    Edriq was a stranger. There
was no reason she should feel anything for a stranger.
    Yet…
    He wasn't a stranger. She
felt as if she'd known him for a long time, from the beginning of
time. Even though he had spoken calmly, she could feel his deep pain
and anger as he told her about the atrocities suffered by his people.
    She knew he had told her the
truth. She believed him, with every fiber of her being.
    And she had been right about
him. Edriq was a leader, a fighter, a protector. Together with his
brothers, he'd led his people to a strange new planet and defended
them against their enemies. He protected not just the Dracans, but
their human mates, families and friends.
    She had saved a Dracan's life
tonight. Maybe in the course of her work as a paramedic, she had
saved many more Dracans and their families. Maybe some of the
Dracans had saved her too, like that brave elderly Dracan woman. She
had urged Nora to run and save herself. She wasn't afraid for
herself and she wasn't afraid to die if it meant Nora would be safe.
    Nora looked up and met
Edriq's silver eyes. She gasped and blinked rapidly when she saw
something rising from him. Something huge, ferocious and terrifying.
    She jerked and stifled a
panicked cry when Edriq reached out and covered her hand with his.
His touch seemed to steady her and she dragged a ragged breath into
her lungs.
    “What…?”
    “You're looking at my
dragon, Nora,” he said quietly.
    “Y-your d-dragon,”
she stammered, staring up towards the ceiling.
    “Yes. But only you can
see it. The other humans in the cafe can't see my dragon.”
    She muttered the only lame
thing that came to mind. “I see.”
    It was indeed his dragon.
His dragon took shape right before her eyes, rising from him and
towering above him. But it didn't take solid form. His dragon
flickered and glowed like a hologram. Both the dragon and the man
were staring at her, their silver eyes locked on her. They were one,
yet separate. At the moment, Nora knew that it was the man who was
in control. The great beast tried to lurch towards her but Edriq
clenched his fist and the dragon jerked back as if it had been yanked
back by a leash.
    What would happened if he
lost control of his dragon, even for a moment? she wondered.
    “My dragon will never
hurt you,” Edriq said
