32

I know it has been a while. And it might be the same after this chapter. School is quickly coming to an end so I will soon have more time. Obviously the last chapter was Morgan and Amkay, so this time it will be them travelling. The above picture is where Amkay's clan lives.

Just as a side note, thank you. For everyone that reads this I just want you guys to know that I am grateful. This is my first time publishing a story and all of you share a part in how successful it is. I also want to thank all of the international readers. Especially my friend in Germany. Your comments and reads keep me going and I want you all to know that I am really happy you can share this story with me. So please continue to follow the characters and bear with me until the end (which I have no idea when that will be). Once again thanks and keep continuing to support the Dragon Mates.

Deo's POV

My brother is so stupid. To think I would be satisfied with him only apologizing to our mate. I need her so badly I can feel her reaching out to us. I need to force the mating frenzy. In fact let the madness begin. (smiles evilly)

Morgan's POV

I roll over in my bed and Maddie is sitting next to me. I sit up immediately and hug her. It has been two weeks since I have seen her. When her and Enway left for Australia it felt like our group was incomplete and now she is back.

"How was Australia?" I ask.

"Perfect. I met his parents and his adopted brother and some other things happened." she blushed.

"I'm sure. So you guys are mates now?"

"Yep. Check out the mark he gave me."

She stands up and pulls her collar over to show me the bite mark on her left shoulder. It was changing colors. Kind of like those lava lamps in the 60's. It changed slowly but right now it is fading into orange.

"Why is the bite changing colors?"

"Um... well I'm not supposed to tell you. It's something your mate has to tell you, but once you know it will be hard to cope so you can come to me with any problems."

Well that's a weird response. I decide to brush it aside and get up. She leaves to give me privacy and to go see the others. I walk into the bathroom and brush my teeth. It gives me time to reflect on Amkay. Since the first day I met him nothing has been easy. I'm not complaining but I just wish I knew what he was thinking and feeling. Sometimes I feel insecure about our relationship.

Amkay's POV

I can smell her. Clovers and rain. The mating frenzy has begun. And I have a suspicion that it has to do with Deo. I walk to her room and hear water running. Uh-oh, my mind goes off and decides to make me sweat with all sorts of possibilities. I groan and start counting in pairs of seven. I become lost in the task that I don't hear the door open and Morgan bumps into my chest.

"Good morning. I wanted to talk with you." I say.

She nods with a slight pink in her cheeks. My heart surges and I take a deep breath and walk into her room.

"I was wondering if you would like to go on a trip?"

"Where would we go?"

"To my village in Ireland. My parents have been begging me to bring you there and meet them."

"Wow, I would love to see Ireland. I always thought it to be a land of adventure and magic."

She looks so excited and happy. I feel happy just knowing I can give her this joy. She walks over to her closet and Takes clothes off their hanger. Is she packing already?

"Are you wanting to leave right now?" I ask.

"Yes! I want a vacation." she replies enthusiastically.

Morgan's POV

This is my opportunity to be alone with him and ask him what he feels towards me. I finish packing and go out to see him smiling.

"What?" I ask.

"I just love you so much. Thank you for agreeing to go. I have already packed so we can leave after saying goodbye."

I look into his eyes and for the first time I notice the love shining in them. I am usually to shy to look at his eyes but now I feel even closer to him. He grabs my bag and takes my hand. When we reach the living room all the others were there and talking with Enway and Maddie. Their attention comes to us and the bags.

"We will be leaving for two weeks to Ireland." Amkay says.

Maddie smiles knowingly and so does Enway. Kalli comes over to me and says goodbye. I wish I didn't have to leave them but I also want to be alone with Amkay.

Zicko's POV

One thing is for sure, Mating frenzy is a bitch. Mine refuses to go away and now two more of my friends have it. Enway has mated and soon it will be Amkay. I would like to say I'm next but things just aren't working out that way. Kalli is upset with me for working so much and I hate myself for troubling my mate. I can only say that I hope I can hold out before my brother gets difficult. If the mating frenzy goes ignored for a long period of time I will lose control of my human instincts and might end up killing her by accident. But in order to go home I need to complete my training for Kingship. So far I won't have long but I need to keep a constant monitor on my brother. Opirien is pushing me further and further everyday but I still have some time. Kalli walks over to Morgan and says goodbye. When she turns to go back to her spot on the couch our eyes lock. You stupid bastard, I will make her mine and if you don't leave soon we will both kill her. Our mate is more important than any leadership role. Please tell me we are leaving next week. I don't know how much longer I can hold back my instincts.

Amkay's POV

We have moved out to the landing platform. I call forth my brother, Deo, and have the other guys strap the bags to me. Morgan glides her hand over my muzzle and I purr. She laughs at Deo's antics and climbs his fore-leg. I am over anxious for this weekend and I know that things will be different forever I only hope she feels the same.

So this is short but I promise to give you more soon. I at least wanted to put this out to keep you guys happy. Also, what do you think Zicko will do now? Is he going to play it safe or will he be stupid and risk everything? Let me know.
