Jazmine (POV)
Xander took off with our guard behind us. It was still weird having a guard with us all the time. But I was glad they were there. Even though I knew Reaper was more than able to take care of himself, I still liked knowing that he had back up if he needed it.
Xander held my hand while we drove, and I liked the contact. It was nice, comforting. Xander had a way of making me feel safe. Even knowing that our lives could be in danger at any second. If it got out that Xander was mated to a human, Xander would be in danger from other Alphas and if the Elders found out I was the daughter of the dragon king, my life would be in danger. Even knowing all that, Xander didn't hide his feelings for me. He didn't hide that I was his and he was mine. Even when Leah confronted him. Xander
