(She might not realize it, but her words only served to remind him of how much he had failed her that day, making his expression falter and go blank as he gazed at her. With a low breath, he laid his head back on the pillow, letting her settle her body over his own, his arms resting heavily on her back. It was the male's duty to keep his mate safe, especially when she was carrying whelps.. it was his position in life, given to him when he took her as a mate. And he had failed. He hadn't seen to her safety before relaxing with his brother, nor had he been able to foresee the trap that had been set for him, distracting him from the real reason for the clan's arrival. He had failed her. He turned his gaze to the window as she lay there over him, pondering the oddity of their relationship. She was drakon, a white dragon female to be exact.. one more powerful than any female he had ever met or bedded before.. and yet she did not call him out for failing her. Any other female dragon would have attacked him had she survived a harrowing experience like Bree had suffered. His failure would have brought on that attack, for how could a female feel safe around a male that could not protect her? She would be rendered helpless once she was close to term, incapable of flying, nor hunting - and most importantly, unable to defend herself against attack. It was his job to do that.. to hunt for and protect his mate and whelps. He prided himself on his ability to do that.. but the mist surrounding that dream had faded and now he saw what a failure he was. The McKail had succeeded in kidnapping and enslaving him and now he had succeeded in allowing his mate and whelps to be attacked and almost killed. He sighed deeply, his hand still moving over her back, feeling for the first time in his life as though he did not deserve the lairdship and mate that he had.) I should have protected you.. I should have protected them. (He said, his tone dark and somewhat fierce, so quiet that it was almost a whisper. He had slipped back into a state of brooding when her voice broke into his thoughts and he tightened his arm around her, turning his head so that his cheek rested in her hair.)
