While Argent was away looking for food, meaning meat, Jasper was snoozing around her eggs. She was getting a bit of sleep. She'd have to go hunt or gather some food of her own later, maybe tomorrow. It barely bothered her for a minute that she and her new mate were indeed rampaging the land of his father the king, so his own. His mind quickly retreated into his new instincts as a mother dragon. His former thoughts as Prince Jasper sometimes protested but it was simpler to think like a good female dragon. A good mate. A good mother. Easier. Less hassle. Less headaches and less dilemmas. Besides, Argent was so nice! He brought her back gifts each time he went out. How caring! How thoughtful! And such wonderful gifts too! Sweet-scented oil for her scales and gorgeous pieces of jewellery! Yes, Argent sure knew how to please a dragon lady!
But then she sensed a presence. A human smell. She turned around, growling. Who dared come in? Who dared intrude upon HER sleep? Looked like human flesh would be on the menu tonight! But when she turned to kill brutally the intruder, she stopped at once. Seeing WHO had entered the cave so foolishly resulted in a flood of memories bursting into Jasper's brain. He was no more a female dragon but a human prince again. Anya! She was there! The bitch who had changed him and made him into a stupid female dragon! A gold-digger happy to please her mate, mother babies and enchanted to receive jewellery! He had been reduced to THAT! He snapped his jaws at her.
"Looks like life is treating you well, Jasper," she giggled. "Nice hideout you have here. Nice family life too. I'm so happy you've adjusted so well."
Jasper roared, wanting every inch of his stupid body to tear her apart. One thing did stop him. At present, only she cxould get him back to his real sex and appearance. Alas, Anya wasn't just there to taunt him.
"Don't be angry. Or else I won't tell you quite important news," she said.
Yet seeing Jasper's perplexed expression she grinned evilly, meaning bad news were about to befall the former prince.
