Alexa's Dragon

Book One

Blurb:

Alexa is living her dream as a software marketer. Her business is flourishing, her days are full, if a bit lonely, but she’s proud of the life she’s built. Everything was going great…until a nasty virus wiped out the computer systems of the company who bought her latest tech. Trapped in a downward spiral, she’s even started hearing voices. Great. Now she’s out of a job and crazy.

After a lifetime of searching for his mate, Syn has accepted he’s doomed to unending solitude. The emptiness of his existence has grown too much to bear, and all he wants is to succumb to the lure of the forever sleep of his people. Except there’s one voice, a woman, whose dreams invade his head and tempt him with the sweetest promises.

Revived by Alexa’s company, Syn soon realizes he’s got more than one reason to live. An old evil is testing the boundaries of its prison, and this time he might not be enough to stop it. The one weapon that can win the coming battle is the one person he would do anything to protect. Alexa is more than his salvation. She alone can tip the balance of power in the war. Her hidden gifts can protect his home, spare his people. All it will cost him is the one woman he’s destined to love for eternity.


Excerpt:

     Syneca Drew stood on his balcony overlooking the hillside. He had been sleeping rather peaceably for a change when he felt something unfamiliar; it woke him. He could still feel the presence, her. He caught glimpses of her, dreamed of touching her, but he could never find her. Soon it would be too late. He let a deep roar leave his throat.

     He jumped onto the thick, wide banister and looked around at his domain. The mountain peaks, three of them, four if you included his, were the homes of his brothers. The low valleys were overripe with foliage, the river running through it kept it all alive. Without a thought, he dove off the balcony.

The change ripped through him. His human body fell away as his new body took over. The wings he loved so much beat against the air causing him to rise high into the sky. He soared in the warmth of the sun. Home. One he would soon lose. His dragon snarled at the thought of what was to come, beating at him for not finding their mate. He pushed the thought aside as he glided on the air allowing the current to soothe him.

     He looked over to see his brother, Maceo, staring at him. Maceo wouldn’t bother him because he knew flying was the only relief Syn enjoyed nowadays. He rolled over on his back briefly giving him an incredible view of the sun as it rode the sky as a lover, turning over he swooped down, scaring the wild animals before ascending once again. He laughed to himself, having fun. Soon all of this would be over because he couldn’t find her. He took one last casual tour of the land and turned towards his balcony.

      His dragon fought him. He wanted to go off in search of their mate. Syn fought back knowing it was useless. They searched the world over more than once, never finding her. Why would they suddenly find her at the end of their life? His dragon became more insistent as the days went on and the male became more apathetic. He forced his dragon to land.
