you
can be wed. We await the paperwork to make this legal in human eyes
and Damek who returns from Canada tomorrow morning at
ten.”
    “ Who is Damek and why does
he have to be here?” Tansy didn’t want to wait. The fire was a
strong power within her and she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to
control it if something else happened and it manifested
again.
    “ Damek is the Earth dragon
and it is his right to preside over every Dragon mating if he
chooses. He wants to be the one to marry you and Tony.” April
wrapped her arm around Tansy. “Don’t worry. It’ll be all right.
You’ll see.”
    Tony knew Tansy wasn’t sure about that,
but what choice did they have? There were a lot of things dragons
did by the book and mating rituals were only one of them. She
sighed, obviously resigned to wait until the morning when
everything would be in order for their wedding.
     
    Twelve hours later Tony stood awaiting
his bride. He could just see the stairs from where he stood in the
ballroom in anticipation of her presence. He saw her sisters
descending the stairs not long after someone began playing the
wedding march.
    Two beautiful herons stood in a cage
off to the right. Apparently, one of the girls had captured the
birds at their parent’s farm with the help of her escort and
brought them here to witness the ceremony. He wasn’t sure he
understood the symbolism of the birds, but he allowed them at
Tansy’s request. He feared he would allow pretty much anything at
Tansy’s request.
    His breath caught in his
throat at his first glimpse of his bride. Dressed all in white, she
literally glowed at the top of the stairs as the ignis et pax surrounded
her like a protective veil. Her red hair tumbled down her back in
shimmering waves and her smile tugged at his heart in a way nothing
else ever had. No one had ever been more beautiful.
    Miraculously, nothing caught fire as
she made her way down the stairs. The train of her dress trailed
behind her, dragging on the floor, orange flames licking up from
the fabric. Tony didn’t know how she did it or if the material was
flame resistant or not, but the effect was stunning.
    As soon as she entered the room, he
felt the draw on his power and the flames shot up. Her eyes widened
for a bit, then she smiled when the flames returned to the six-inch
tall flames the gown bore while Tansy descended the
stairs.
    She was his mate, the love of his life
and he thanked everything that was good that she had come into his
life. The fact that his mate bore the fire of a fire dragon only
sweetened the pot for him. Her power would blend with his and, like
him, their children would be the protectors of dragon
kind.
    Damek, the Earth dragon stood behind
him, their friends, including Armand, attended them and for now,
the stolen Dragon’s Desire was back where it belonged and no one
was under the influence—at least for the time being.
    Tony watched as Tansy stopped before
him, turned to her brother and waited for him to lift her veil. God
she was beautiful.
    Taking a deep breath, Tony
turned to Damek with a smile. This woman was his mate. He would
fight for her and he would die for her, but most importantly, after
five-thousand years, he would finally live for her.
