Six books of fated mates, dragon warriors, and undeniable chemistry. This is the shifter romance series you won’t be able to put down. Read it on KindleUnlimited! The scent of peonies drove me wild as I stalked into the house with my mate in my arms. I’d known her all of thirty seconds, and already Asher was losing his mind. If he didn’t calm down, he’d affect me more than he already was. Normally, I had no problem controlling my dragon, but we’d never met our fated mate before. This was a world unknown. When I watched the car speed up the driveway and come to a stop in a cloud of dust in the middle of my nephew’s shifting celebration, I’d done so with only a mild interest. My curiosity was slightly raised when I realized it was an extremely attractive friend of Ava’s. My police officer training had been kicked on when I saw her bruises, but none of that prepared me for the moment the wind shifted. Asher had stirred as soon as she climbed out of her tiny red car. He sensed far before I did who she was to us. I was in the dark until her smell danced around us provocatively, ensnaring us in its grip with the lightest touch of a feather wrapped around a fist of iron. Mate. We have a mate. She’s our mate. Asher went so wild I nearly shifted right then, a problem I’d literally never had. As a beta dragon, Asher was predisposed to follow, to listen to reason. He was still a dragon. Headstrong, willful, stubborn. He had a violent streak. But I’d always been able to control it. My human will was stronger than his. Most of the time. Today, it took everything I had, plus Zephyr, my alpha brother’s dragon, to keep Asher in check. When I’d seen her nearly collapse, wild dogs from hell couldn’t have kept me from catching her. As soon as she was in my arms, Asher calmed somewhat. Until, as we walked in to the manor, he started worrying about her health. She needs a human doctor. I agreed with him. Rushing inside with Ava and pretty much our entire clan on my heels, Asher alternated between worry and rage. Personally, I funneled my worry into rage. Whoever did this to her had to pay. He must burn. As a cop, I couldn’t exactly set some dude on fire. However, I could use all my resources to see him brought to justice. I’d keep myself—and my dragon—far away from him as I did it. Our oversized sofa was the closest place to lay her down comfortably. She couldn’t have come at a better time. Our entire clan was here for my nephew Maddox’s first shift. He’d had his shift and we’d been just about to start the party—which normally would’ve lasted well into the night—when Charlotte pulled up. The clan doctor, Buddy, was here, which was a rare occurrence. He tended to stay near my grandfather’s part of the clan because he held a much larger and more populated territory than my younger brother, our Alpha. “Let me through.” Buddy’s voice cut through the worry and rage as he tried to get to Charlotte on the couch. “Someone grab a warm cloth,” my mother yelled. She was human, and my father was a beta, but I would’ve guaranteed three or more people jumped to do as she said. She had that sort of presence. “Come on, Axel.” Soft hands pulled me away from my mate. “Let Doc check her out.” I let Ava and Mom pull me away from Charlotte, even though that was the last thing I wanted to do. Doc got on his knees beside Charlotte and began examining her. “I’ll start with her vitals,” he murmured. He looked at her eyes with a little penlight and tutted. “I don’t like how her eyes respond.” Asher grunted inside me, unhappy with that news. I held my breath and tried to stay back and not crowd the man. Doc moved on to her blood pressure, pulling little machines out of a bag he’d produced. He wrapped a cuff around her wrist and pressed a button. The little blood pressure monitor whirred to life while Doc probed all over Charlotte’s head. All I wanted to do was cover Charlotte’s body with my own and hold her. That wouldn’t help her in the slightest, though, so I let Ava’s and Mom’s touches help ground me. Ava had quickly become very much the sister she’d been when we were kids. Maverick had never seen her that way, but to me she’d been a pesky little sister, tagging along with me and Mav, making us have to hide our true natures. I’d liked her, though, despite that. She had an undeniable charm. “Ouch,” he muttered. His hands moved around the back of her head, which he lifted off the couch and supported with one hand while exploring with the other. “Someone help me turn her, please.” I lurched forward to help, as did Ava and Mom. The three of us held her on her side at the edge of the couch while Doc used his penlight to examine the back of her head. My hands heated where they touched her thigh and the back of her knee, but I restrained myself. More than anything, I wanted to massage her legs, try to find some way to comfort her. Claim her. Not that. Not yet. As soon as Doc parted her hair, the smell of her blood hit me. Gardenias mixed with copper. We will kill the man who injured her. Ignoring my dragon, I fought the same urges he had. We wouldn’t kill him, but heck, it was hard not to promise my wild side that we would. Black Claw Dragons is the bundled collection of Roxie Ray’s Six possessive Dragons and their stories as each of them finds their fated mate and does anything to keep her safe.
