Valkyrie Academy Dragon Alliance Series by Katrina Cope

Kara thought that her lack of wings was a problem in the world of Valkyries–until she stumbled across a dragon's nest. She soon learned that wherever you found a dragon’s nest, a mother dragon was always nearby. No matter how much combat training she had, she could still become lunch.

After everything that Kara has done for Asgard, she thinks they will let her participate in the honorable jobs of the winged Valkyries. She is wrong. Instead, Odin is determined to take Elan away and make her dragon his. Whether he’s a god or not, she isn’t going to let that happen. And of course, Elan can defend herself. But then Elan disappears. After several searches, Kara grows worried. She hopes that Elan is visiting her mother, not somewhere more sinister.

Kara found out the hard way. Just because she did the right thing didn't mean a god would give his blessing. Instead, it was the opposite when honoring agreements that grate against a god's wishes. Now, she is on the run from Odin and anyone following his commands, and she finds herself safe in the wastelands with the wild dragons, or so she thinks. Unless she can find a way to be accepted back into Valkyrie school and not be imprisoned, her future is in peril.
