Bhric paced the waiting room floor. It had been hours since Marcy had disappeared through those double doors and he'd heard nothing. Fortunately, there had been no sign of the Blackwood wolves since their arrival.

"Here. Drink this." Galen handed him a cup of what smelled kind of like coffee, although it didn't seem quite right.

"What is it?" he asked, wrinkling his nose and trying not to inhale.

"They call it coffee, but I can't imagine it came from anywhere but the sewer based on the smell."

"Did you drink some?"

"Oh hell no. Nothing that rank is getting past these lips."

Bhric shook his head. "Then why the hell would you give it to me?"

"Because your pacing is driving me crazy. And the offer of a beverage is considered culturally polite here in the Americas, right?"

Bhric dumped the cup in the closest trash can and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Not so much if you know it's disgusting."

Galen shrugged. "For all I know people here are used to bad coffee. I passed plenty of people drinking it on my way up."

"What are you doing here anyway?"

"Figured you might need back up. A shifter of your type could easily get in over his head."

Bhric's beast growled a distinct warning in Galen's direction.

"Are all dragons shitheads or is that just a Ferguson trait? Cause if so, you have no chance in hell of fitting in around here."

Galen sniffed. "I don't need to fit in. I'll just buy or take whatever I need."

Bhric rolled his eyes. The dragon's arrogance had certainly not changed in the decades since he'd last seen him. Not that it mattered.

"I didn't mean why are you here in the hospital. I remember quite well how nosy you can be butting into everyone else's business. No, what I want to know is why are you back here in Tennessee? No one has seen even a sign of you in a good twenty years or so."

"The world is changing and Scotland has grown far too small for our clan of dragons. We need more space."

"Shit. Does that mean there are more of you here?"

"Not yet. I decided to come back early. The others will soon follow though."

Bhric felt a headache coming on. What had he done to bring this on? The three clans already here were barely holding their shit together as it was. If the dragon clan was about to return and take up residence all hell would break loose for certain.

"Your timing is shit, Galen."

"We both knew it would happen eventually."

Bhric shook his head. "Speak for yourself. I had high hopes no dragons would ever settle in these parts again." He brushed his hand through his hair and exhaled a hard breath. "When are you planning to approach the councils?"

"A week or two. Maybe sooner. Depends on how quickly the rest of the family leaves Scotland."

Fuck me.

He had no idea how this would affect the neutral zone, but he was going to make damn sure none of his people got caught up in the coming political storm.
