Summary

"You're not safe here," he said, voice deadly serious. "You're not safe with me." Despite the situation, I found myself scoffing. "When has a human ever been safe with a dragon?" Seven-year-old Wendy saves a young dragon from the brink of death, earning his curiosity and attention in the process. As war wages and the dragons gain control of the land, Wendy grows up with her newfound friend, Avel. After tragedy strikes, however, Wendy and her brother decide to leave home and Wendy's childhood friend. Eight years later, dragons once again threaten Wendy's life. She is forced to travel back to Avel's horde when she learns her brother has been taken and enslaved. Only, when she returns to her homeland, things are not as they once were. The young dragon boy she grew up with has grown up too, and is now more arrogant and powerful than ever.

A/N (Important!)

Hello, my loves!

For all of you returning, welcome back! And for everyone else, welcome to Claws and Kisses! Thank you so much for checking this book out. I hope you enjoy every minute of this story!

Before you start reading, please let me give a quick disclaimer. This book has been put on hold for the last few months (roughly since the beginning of April to mid-July 2019) for a couple of reasons, the first being that I simply did not have the time, energy, or will power to write a new chapter every week. While that has certainly changed, I came back to continue writing this book only to find that . . . well, to put it short and sweet, it needs HEAVY editing.

Tonka truck, bulldozer, wrecking ball kind of editing.

So, before you start reading, please note that there is going to be a lot of editing going on. Not only editing but fresh, newly-written chapters that need to be inserted. And yes, editing means also getting rid of some scenes. This means that some chapters might be out of place, look different than the last time you saw them, and so on. While this book is under construction, please keep in mind that if something doesn't look right, it's OKAY. It will be fixed, pinky promise.

I do not know how long this will take, but I will post a new update on my wall when I am satisfied with all of the changes. As for continuing the story, there will be some new chapters, but for the majority, I will be spending most of my time editing until it is otherwise completed.

For those of you coming back, I encourage you to re-read! There is going to be a lot more content and fresh chapters for you to glance over. Familiarize yourself with the story before continuing with the new chapters!

Note: New chapters throughout the story will have an asterisk (*) next to their title so you, the reader, will know that it was not apart of the last draft of the story. Edited chapters will read "Edited:00/00/00", with the date they were edited. If they have neither, they have not yet been fixed yet.

I love you all, and thank you every day for the support all of you have been showing this book, even with the hiatus! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Enjoy :)

~Elaine

Warning to all new readers: if you like having all of the parts of the story tied up and finished, this story is not for you. There are multiple storylines and only 1 that kind of gets closure.
