After Elait and Sophia had washed and dressed, they went back into the nursery when little Hectosh woke from his nap. Sophia pulled him out of his crib and carried him into the living room where her dear mate was seated. She sat beside him and handed him the baby, who he held awkwardly in his big arms.

“I'll give you a bottle and you can feed him,” she said with a smile as she stood and walked across the room to the kitchen.

She programed the food replicator to create a bottle of Draconian formula, and when the bottle came out of the dispenser, Sophia picked it up and took it back across the room to her waiting mate and baby. She sat beside Elait and handed him the bottle.

“How do I do this?” he asked.

“Like this,” she said, tilting the bottle so that Hectosh could get a hold of the nipple. Her baby had grown so much in the last two months.

“He's getting big,” Elait said, as if reading her mind.

“He is,” Sophia said, happy that he had noticed the change.

“He has your eyes,” Elait said.

“He has your everything else,” Sophia said with a giggle.

They sat together for several hours. Elait fed their son and he told Sophia more about his planet. She could see the strength and passion in his eyes as he spoke. He looked up at her and smiled.

“This is the best day of my life,” he said.

“And I think it's the best day of mine too. Even if we are trapped in an asteroid,” she said with a giggle.

Sirens blared throughout the ship and they both shot to their feet. The medic burst through the door of the chamber and ran to them.

“The Mulgor have found us,” he said. Elait handed the baby to the medic and charged out of the room.

“Watch Hectosh,” Sophia yelled. “Protect him with your life.”

She ran after her husband as he hurried to the cockpit. The pilots were both there but Elait pushed one of them out of a chair and took a seat.

He began to move his hands over the holographic dashboard, bringing up three-dimensional information on the ship.

There was another blast and Sophia could see the light indicator showing where they'd been hit.

“We've been found,” Elait said. “There's no more time to wait.”

“I can help,” Sophia said.

Elait hands moved quickly over the dashboard, but he stole a glance up at her. After a pause, he nodded and motioned for the other pilot to leave.

“We'll do this together,” he said.

Sophia didn’t hesitate. She slid into the chair, gripped the wheel, and studied the three-dimensional hologram of the ship. She took in the position of the Mulgor vessel that was firing on them. Several more vessels had found them and Elait was already piloting directly toward them.

“Take control. I'm taking the lasers,” he said.

Sophia's eyes went wide but she did as she was told. In a split second, she accelerated the engine to full speed, barreling directly towards the ships in her path.

Elait opened up his laser guns, blasting at the ships in their path. Right as they were about to crash, Sophia tilted the ship ninety degrees so that they were flying on their side. They narrowly shot through a gap between the Mulgor ships and were out of the asteroid belt.

Asteroids came at them from every direction and she maneuvered the ship through the chaos of flying rocks as Elait shot at the Mulgor ships that were in pursuit. As soon as Sophia made it through into open space, she looked over at Elait and he nodded.

“Warp drive,” Sophia said running her hand over the holographic dashboard to power up warp speed.

“Three… Two… One…,” she said,

The ship burst through space, leaving a trail of light behind them. Warp speed jetted them at an alarming rate through space until they were in the next star system.

The Breaking Dawn didn't have this kind of technology. The Draconian military had been unwilling to pay for it. But Elait’s ship, the Slipstream, was equipped with the latest technology. Warp drive speed took them all the way to a safe star system. Sophia was able to relax for the first time since she’d sat down. Elait put down the hand controls of the guns and turned to her, grabbing her wrist.

“I've never been so turned on in my life,” he growled. “I love seeing you pilot a ship.”

After a quick message to the pilot to take over, he stood and pulled her up with him, dragging her down the hallway and back to their chamber. As the door shut behind him, he told the medic to leave. Hectosh slept in his room, his image on the baby monitor holograph.

Sophia looked at Elait’s hungry, half-crazed eyes and she didn't know if she should run or get down on her knees and worship him. He flicked his finger over the spot on his neck that made his uniform retract. He covered the space between them in a flash before reaching up to rip her gown from her body.

She was wet and ready to take him. He lifted her up and wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her across the chamber to the bed. He didn't let go as he crawled up over the bed and sank down between her legs. His massive cock brushed against her buttocks, and he kissed her deeply, growling and mad with desire.

This time he wasn't patient or gentle. She felt the wide head of his cock press against her soaking wet opening. It seemed impossible that it would ever fit inside her. But when he slid forward, pressing through the outer ring of her core, he slid easily into her.

She looked up at him with wide eyes, clinging to his waist. He nipped at her lip as he pushed deeper, spreading her wider than she could possibly have imagined.

She groaned up at him, running her hands up and down his back, his velvety blue skin smooth under her fingers. He thrust further, sinking inch by glorious inch inside her. Her body widened around him, accepting his impossible girth into her tiny body. Her DNA had altered, allowing for her to take a man the size of a mammoth deep inside her core. He filled her and sank to his root. She gasped, barely able to breathe from the fullness, on the edge of both panic and pleasure. Elait cupped her chin in his hand and kissed her lips. He kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear.

“I'm going to mark you now,” he said. “You will be forever mine.”

Elait kissed down her neck and she felt the tips of his sharp teeth brush over her sensitive flesh. He tilted his hips, pulling his girth out of her, only to thrust forward again. As he filled her to the brink of sanity, his teeth punctured her flesh.

Sophia cried out but his teeth sank all the way into her neck and cut off her scream. He held her neck in between his teeth as he thrust again and again into her soft, moist pussy. She pressed her eyes shut, allowing herself to relax into pure abandon.

As he clamped down on her neck and fucked her senseless, his soul bound together with hers and she knew the depths of who he was at the core of his being. She had never expected to find such tenderness and love at the heart of a warrior.

The mating bite filled her with a new sense of awareness, something beyond Elait himself. He was changing her. She would never be a dragon, but his bite imbued her with something else. Long life, vigorous health, new insights and intelligence beyond that of any human.

He growled above her and she felt his seed shoot deep inside her. She orgasmed as the flood of his heat filled her, completely surrendered to her presence.

As they both began to calm from the climax of their release, he withdrew his teeth and licked her wound until it healed. Ever so slowly, he withdrew himself from inside her, leaving her hollow at his absence. Her mind reeled with the new knowledge of who she was. Her new body, her new mind, her new soul. She was forever entangled with Elait.

Now, she was the Princess of Galaton, Land of the Air. She had become something more than Sophia Castillo had ever been. She was born again in the image of the Draconian, and she would never be the same again.
