else, the fact that she could shift into a dragon not even registering.
    “Child, once your anger subsides, you’ll know why they deceived you. You need their protection, and the other reason you will learn in due course. Oh, and Uleirlel told me the sorcerer lives. She has communicated with him for a spell to undo the block on your people’s magick but he will only do so at your command once you’ve been crowned.”
    Anya laughed. “And who is going to do my crowning if there’s no one left?”
    “It’s not impossible that people escaped. Did you leave the women’s quarters when the massacre took place?”
    “No. I hid. When the brutes moved on and ventured into other regions of the palace, I escaped over the balcony and climbed down the vines. I never looked right or left when I ran from the courtyard and out of the gates.”
    “There. So you don’t know for sure if everyone’s gone. For all you know, some of your family could still be alive.”
    “I know for sure my family was slaughtered because one of the guards told me before the aliens got him. He saved my life by pushing me behind a broken statue to hide me from the killers.”
    “I’m sorry. But some may have escaped from the castle. You’ll find out when you return. Now go, child. Cyton and Yerith, watch over her. I suggest you avoid the forest and fly directly to the castle.”
    “If there is anyone left alive, we’ll scare them out of their minds,” Yerith muttered.
    The men shifted into their dragons. Each time they shifted, she was awed. Their man bodies became twice their normal size, muscle rippling under their skin as the change took place. Scales formed where their skin had been. Their faces slowly changed. Somewhere midstream she wondered if they could halt the changing process, if they could be half man half dragon. Oh, what handsome creatures they were in this form. They continued to change until they stepped off the platform and spread their wings. Yerith flew a short distance away. Cyton hovered just below the platform. “It’ll be easier if you ride me,” he told her.
    Anya stomped a foot. “Damn you! You’ve lugged me around like a sack of potatoes. Why didn’t you tell me I could sit on you?”
    “Temper, temper. Because when we land, it’s a long way from my neck to the ground for you. It’s easier to just set you down.”
    “Your scales are smooth and shiny. I can slide down.”
    “I suppose. I’ve never had a mortal on my back, and you’re very tiny.”
    Anya climbed onto his back, sat just behind his neck with her legs in front of his wings and grabbed two scales. With her legs spread wide, her pussy rubbed against the smooth scales on his neck, sending heat spiraling into her abdomen. He soared into the sky. She hung on for dear life and, for a moment, she forgot her pussy rubbed against him. When he steadied, she dared look down and gasped. They flew so high, she could barely make out the compound. Everything below was miniature. The wind caused her hair to fly behind her and whipped around her face. It was exhilarating. Just up ahead, she watched Yerith soar, dive and soar again. His gorgeous, magnificent green dragon scales shone in the sun’s rays. It was beauty beyond belief.
    Cyton flew so steadily, she dared let go and flung her arms wide, raising her face. She closed her eyes and shouted, “I feel like a bird soaring through the sky.”
    “And what a beautiful bird,” Cyton’s deep voice rumbled. “We’re almost there. If you look below, you can see the palace. Hang on, we’re going down.”
    Anya grabbed hold of two scales again and held on tight. “Why did Yerith’s belly change color? It’s golden now.”
    “That means he’s in heat. Your pheromones are affecting us both.”
    “Oh.” She didn’t know what else to say to that except that she’d been in heat herself during the flight. And she sure as heck wasn’t going to tell him that. But what did he mean by her pheromones?
    They
