Her Dragon Protector’s Baby by Lark Sterling

Through the ages, the High Alphas protect, guide, and shelter the Shifters from harm. It’s a noble job, a fate passed down through the stars, and it has been my future from the moment I was born.
Me and my three cousins are all different, and not just because we’re all different Shifter species. For me, growing up in the High Alpha castle, my grooming is nearly complete.
Nearly…
I needed to spread my wings, literally. I needed freedom with my Griffin to experience the real world before I took over protecting it. So, with my best friend, Kilo, a Dragon Shifter Guard, I settled into my mother’s old airport. Disgusting and decrepit doesn’t even begin to explain.

The Shifter world was in a bad place, with Darkness steadily pushing in, but I didn’t fear the Dark Shifters in the least. With the man I knew was my fated mate always by my side, I could defeat anyone. But the love shared was a love that held secrets I may have realized too late.
The future of the Shifter species rides on the birth of the Golden Child, a child created between a Griffin and a Dragon. No child of two species had ever been born, and if it made it, the Dark Shifters were poised and ready to take it from my arms.
The Dark Shifters are gathering, planning, watching. As the evil flows across the land, the child grows within me. Will they be born to rule the land with light and good? Or will the faceless man steal them from my breast and end the Shifter world as we know it?
