as
Kellan’s, but with a silvery luster to it. Lastly for the Blue Dragons was
Brannoc, the only one Hannah hadn’t met in person. He was dressed in such a
light color of blue that she wondered if he’d ever been mistaken for a white
dragon.
Looking at her with fatherly pride was Royce, her mate’s
mentor and the oldest of the MacLendon Force of the Golden Fire Dragons. His
beautiful royal blue surcoat with green accents truly fit the gentle giant who
seemed to care for everyone while grumbling and complaining all the way. Lastly
was Jace, Liam’s best friend and her best friend’s mate. His glistening
bronze surcoat exactly matched the dragon she’d seen on the day they’d been
saved from the Dorcha . All the men smiled, filling her with the true
acceptance of a family she’d never expected to have. Add that to her sisters
and the man she would love for the rest of her life, and Hannah was overwhelmed
by her blessings.
Liam came striding around the gazebo, looking better than
any man had a right to look, essentially stealing the breath from her lungs.
His deep purple surcoat with silver braids and embroidery accentuated the
amazing body she knew lay beneath. His smile lit up the twilight as he looked
directly into her eyes. The electrical current she was quickly coming to
associate with her mate snapped to life. She realized he’d felt it too as his
pupils dilated and his nostrils flared. Her body intimately reacted to
everything when they were together. She only hoped she would make it through
the ceremony without dragging him behind the gazebo and making love to him
until neither could walk, much less think. She knew he heard her thoughts when
his smile widened and he winked.
Great minds think alike.
He stopped ten feet from her, almost at attention. Hannah
held her breath, waiting for what would come next. Rian cleared his throat and
began speaking in his low, commanding voice.
“Long ago, when knights and dragons fought side by side for
King and Country, it became apparent dragon kin was no longer safe from those
that would expose and destroy them. They sought to join with the knights, who
for centuries had fought so valiantly as their allies. Thus, through magic and
the will of both dragon and knight, the Blue Thunder Clan and Golden Fire Clan
of the Dragon Shifters became a reality. It was through the joining of many
different clans that we have all become the strong and powerful Force we are
today.
“We are here, at the Grotto of Prayer, a place long blessed
by our ancestors that went before us, to honor what the Universe put into place
all those many years ago. To acknowledge and bless the mating of Liam Alexander
Drennan to the one the Universe made for him, Hannah Marie McKennon. Will those
seeking to witness this union please step forward?”
From their place next to the gazebo, the eight Guardsmen
stepped forward. She knew they had all trained her mate, fought with him, bled
with him, and now shared the happiest moment of both their lives with them .
They knelt as one and bowed their heads. Rory then stood and addressed the
Elders, “We, the six of the Aherne Force and our brethren from the MacLendon
Force, wish to witness and offer our blessing to the union of these two souls,
two halves of the same whole. May they live long, fight hard, love harder, and
produce many young to flourish in this world when their souls have gone to the
Heavens.” He knelt next to his men and bowed his head once again.
Rian began again, “Your witness and blessing have been
acknowledged and accepted Aherne and MacLendon Forces. Liam Drennan, you may go
to your mate.”
Hannah didn’t even see him move before he was standing in
front of her with a look in his glowing hazel eyes that filled her with love,
adoration, and awe-inspiring humility. She was truly blessed by the Goddess and
the Universe to have found real love. He took her hands in his. All the emotion
and power he held for her flowed from his
Kellan’s, but with a silvery luster to it. Lastly for the Blue Dragons was
