sight.” She laughed.
“What was her name?” Gandore asked quietly.
“Agrippa,” she said with a frown.
“The one eyed witch.” Xavier laughed and Aislinn frowned.
“What?” she asked.
“Nothing, what does it say?” Drakk barked.
“Here,” she said, thrusting the book at them. “Just read it.”
The men passed the book around while she stood. They had been sitting in the large living area that had appeared after they left to get the books. She had been amazed at the magic the men had, anything they wanted they could make happen it seemed, well within reason apparently. She was told they couldn’t make money, or other things, because it wasn't the way their magic worked. It was based on their needs.
“Ha, I was right.” Gandore laughed and Drakk frowned and stared at his friends who were laughing, only Jex was staring at him with a frown. He knew they were going to have to talk soon, damn it, he really thought he was going to be able to ignore the mating.
“About?” Aislinn asked.
Gandore and the others looked at Drakk with a grin and then stood. “We will let them explain.”
His brothers laughed as they walked out of the room leaving Aislinn and Jex with him. He stared at the floor wondering how he was going to explain to the human exactly what her ancestor had predicted. Apparently, his idiot friend, though, didn’t have the same problem as he did, because before Drakk could actually form a clear way to tell her, Jex stood and blurted it out.
“Babe, your ancestors predicted the Templar Guard would face a great struggle, and in order to win, they would be sent mates that would form a triad for all of the Guard, it was the only way to defeat the threat. And guess what, you are Drakk and mine’s mate! Isn’t that awesome,” Jex said and held open his arms. “I mean, think about it, two of the best looking dragons around and you are our mate.”
Aislinn frowned and looked at the two men. “Excuse me?”
“Mate, you know, like you are our wife.” Jex smiled and walked to her. “How cool is that, right?”
“Oh hell to the NO !” Aislinn screeched. “I am already considering the fact this is all a weird dream still, I mean, nothing seems real: dragon, flying, caves. Now I am a mate to not one but two men? Shit, I am a crazy ass slut in my dreams and that is not okay.”
Jex frowned and dropped his arms then turned to Drakk who was looking just as confused. “Babe, you are chosen to be mated to two of the most powerful beings in the world. Plus, we are rock star handsome, all of the women in the facility wanted us, and we are yours.”
Aislinn narrowed her eyes. “In my crazy fucked up dream, I am pretty sure I shouldn’t be hearing this right now. Conjure me up my room, I need to go back to bed and forget all this shit.”
Jex opened and closed his mouth and looked at Drakk who shook his head and snapped his fingers. Aislinn nodded and pointed to the door. Both men left without a saying a word because of the look on her face. The last thing she heard when she slammed the door was Jex ask Drakk what the hell had just happened.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Drakk growled. “Even I know not to say shit like that, what the fuck?”
“Hey, the women at the facility never even blinked when I said shit like that,” Jex argued.
“Could be because they wanted something, dumbass,” Drakk said and raised a hand and ran it over his eyes. “Listen, I get this is really fucked up right now, and I understand that I basically told you to mate with her on your own earlier. But…”
Jex just smiled and looked at his hardened leader. “I know.”
Drakk narrowed his eyes at the younger dragon. He looked smugly at him and Drakk wanted to kick his ass. “We need to talk.”
“What’s there to talk about? It’s not rocket science. We found our mate. She is a latent witch who needs us to harness her powers in the fight of the greater good.” Jex’s casual attitude about
