Waking Tamara

Blurb:

The apocalypse has been and gone.

Generations have passed.

The old world wakes up to a future they never imagined.

Indra answers a mating call and is plunged into his future. He’s drawn to a beauty frozen in the past. He wants more than a kiss when he wakes her. But he has to have patience.

Gazing into Indra’s eyes, Mara is instantly smitten. One surprise after another has her believing in fairy tales. But there are no princes in her story, only dragons.

Believing in dragons isn’t the hard part. Even becoming a dragon brings her more pleasure than she’d ever dreamed. But being told she’s becoming a parent without her consent.

Nope.

Indra has some groveling to do.

EXCERPT:

Christopher shrugged and high-fived her and continued checking the facility systems. So, all was good on her familial front for the moment.

Then she’d escaped with Indra to learn to fly, but this flying was harder than she figured. Mara flailed after Indra dropped her into the sky. It freaked her out until she shifted into her dragon. Her wings wobbled and caught the air currents. Tears ran down her face from the wind. She blinked, trying to clear them away. It wasn’t like she had hands to wipe them. If she used her claws, she would probably blind herself. She blinked and realized her eyes stopped tearing up. She had double eyelids. She blinked and her vision changed. Wow, if she wasn’t mistaken, the first set of eyelids allowed her to see infrared. Awesome! She flickered her lids again, checking each phenomenon. Being a dragon was amazing.

Below her, one of the dragons flew. To each of her sides, she also had a flying guard.

Mara twisted her head, looking up, and began scrambling. She plunged down, flailing her wings to steady out.

Don’t panic. You’ve got this. Indra’s smooth tones comforted her.

If not, I’ll try to catch you. The teasing voice could only be Hark.

Ignoring Hark, Mara let Indra’s confidence seep into her mind. She could do this. She watched the dragons next to her.

The silver one spread his wings and glided through the sky.

Mara spread her wings instead of flapping them like a madwoman. She grinned. The air current buoyed and steadied her.

Good girl. Bruno’s deep tone of approval had her preening.

With the dragons surrounding her, it was like she had her own harem.

If you click your talons together, you will become invisible, Zeru said.

But don’t do it until you’re more comfortable flying. Indra’s concern was evident.

True, only another air dragon could see you. If you fall, the others can’t catch you, only I.

Hmm. Mara clicked her nails. She could still see herself. She did it again. Still there. Maybe it didn’t work.

Dammit, Mara. Don’t do that again. Indra’s momentary panic made her realize Zeru was right; she could turn invisible.

The chuckles from the other dragons had Indra scowling.

I just wanted to see if it worked. She couldn’t help the pleased tones in her voice.

Well, it did. Indra lowered above her, forcing her lower. Let’s try landing now. We’re at our destination.

They were approaching the cabin with the container units.

Indra stayed above her, and she matched his speed and descent.

The rest of the dragons were landing in the clearing.

Slow up. Indra did something to slow, but she couldn’t figure it out.

Mara tried to imitate what Bruno, Zeru, and Hark did. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out so well. Instead of smoothly slowing and basically walking onto the ground, she tumbled. Mara squawked, tripped over her claws, and slid, landing on her back. She ignored the snorts and laughter from the other dragons. Jerks.
