Aegon's snarl ripped through Dex's chest the second Shadowclaw entered his tent.
Anytime Shadowclaw and Serena were mentioned in the same sentence, Dexmon's wolf surged. And sitting in the same tent with him for a prolonged period of time was nothing short of a battle for control.
Aegon: I want to fight his wolf. The arrogance!
Dexmon: We can't attack the King of North Skardos. Even if he is an ass.
When he saw that damn note, Aegon was furious.
Aegon: Burn it.
But when Serena entered the tent, it got worse. He fought Aegon for control harder than he had in years
Aegon: Mate. The matebond is still there. Not broken.
Dexmon: I know. You marked her.
Aegon: No. I mean the fated matebond, on our side is still in tact. On top of marking. Both.
When Shadowclaw had the audacity to hug Serena, Aegon felt rage and Dex was with him. Absolute rage.
Aegon: Battle for mate. Now. His wolf is challenging us.
