“I know you love her. I know she is your mate.” Deorsa gazed up at Loki, unfazed by the dragon. “All I ask is that you keep her safe. Lilé has been hunted all her life. But you can and must protect her. Whatever it takes.” His expression turned suddenly sad, wistful. “She has seen too much death. Give her the life she deserves, Loki.”

There was no need for him to be told that. Dragons guardedtheir mates fiercely and were willing to die to protect them and their children.He had to respect the king for his willingness to do anything to ensureher safety. However, was he willing to never seeing her again? He had a feelingthat he would be, but he still had to ask the question.
Even if thatlife is meant to be lived away from this realm? You knowshe will never be safe here.
The human realm was dangerous for Fintanand his people: iron was lethal. But her mother’s blood gave her protectionfrom it. Just another example of how selfless the woman really was.
