Iniko I never want to see my mate crying like that again. I’m a big, strong, powerful dragon and for the first time in my life, I felt powerless. It was awful. I was ready to burn the world, save the seals, or start a wind tempest if that’s what it took to stop my mate’s tears. As much as I hate the idea of my mate claiming me, being in her head would have made things much easier for me. In the morning, before we get out of bed, I need to make sure she is okay. “I apologize again for last night,” she says softly. “Please don’t ever apologize for something like that. You were expressing your strong emotions and you should feel comfortable doing that. I just don’t like you crying and I didn’t know how to make you feel better.” “I don’t ever want to feel like I forgotten them, you know?
