#TeaserTuesday: No Pretending

 

The seventh and final installment of the Drake Chronicles series, Field of Fire, is coming later this year! Get caught up on the first six books now. 

“There can be no pretending, as a drake. Dominance—true dominance—is undeniable. Others give immediate sway to an alpha.”

“Ah.”

“Hm?”

“I see now why you’re eager for me to try it.” Oliver closed the book with a solid thump, filling his face with dust. He sneezed. After, he dabbed his nose on his sleeve. “You want me to learn to shift so that, once we’re both drakes, your alpha nature will compel my less dominant drake to submit.”

Romanus frowned.

“You hope that once I submit on four legs, I’ll fall in line with your plans on two legs.” He held the book back out to him; tried to do so with one hand, but was forced to use both. “You think you’re very clever, don’t you?”

“I think you suspect the worst of me, unwarranted.” Romanus waved his hand through the air, and the book vanished in a curl of smoke.

“I think you are an emperor, first and foremost. If that makes you the worst, that’s all the more reason not to aspire to become an emperor.”
