Chapter Eighteen

Steven soared through the air as a Homo Draconis over the twelve Glass House Mountains. Dawn was beautiful, a gift just for him. Later that day, they would fly to Bali to continue investigating The Mystery of the Dragonknights and Merlin’s Daughter. But first? Training.

He gripped Samael’s Lash, in its sword form, and he turned to see Mouse coming in fast. She held the Slayer Blade, the green flames tracing the edge of the blade.

One good thing about being exiled from America? He was back in Australia, so jet lag wasn’t a thing. He’d gotten up early to train with Mouse. Zoey was sleeping, and Steven had some time with just him and Mouse.

He’d spent most of the night having sex with Matilda for the first time, alone, just the two of them. After that Abby Free ambushed him along with Aria, Skylar, and the wilder women of his Escort. He’d crawled out from under their bodies to find Michaela Montes waiting for him. After some dirty talk with her, it was Teegan Thornrose, who liked a little smack and grab.

He’d crashed for a couple of hours, but he was buzzing with so much Animus he’d woken up early, refreshed, his cells buzzing.

Now he had to make sure that Mouse’s blade didn’t nick him. They were playing a game of first blood—just a minor cut would end things. It tested their skill because neither wanted to do the other any serious injury. At the same time, neither wanted to lose. They’d agreed on no spells. That put Steven at a disadvantage.

The air was cool still, wet from the dew, but already thermals were rising from the ground as the sun climbed higher and hotter into the sky.

Steven grabbed a thermal, spread his wings out, and let the hot air push him straight up.

Mouse didn’t follow, but banked around, her eyes on him. Her slim, sleek Homo Draconis form was a bit of amber against the green below. Both were hidden from the humans by Magica Defensio spells.

Steven sailed up, shifted into True Form, and caught Samael’s Lash in his claw. He then used his greater wingspan to streak ahead, going for the top of one of the rock mounds. He landed at the top, shifted human, and picked up his sword off the ground.

Mouse raced toward him. She’d pull out of the dive at the last second. Would she go to the left or the right? He was ready.

Or he thought he was.

The dragon woman in front of him came up short, her wings full of wind, and then she flicked her left hand at him. A shield spell smacked into him, pushing him down to the ground. Mouse was cheating. Well, he owed her that. He’d cheated before during their fights, especially one important one they’d fought in the Nebraska fields outside Liam Strider’s secret Aerie.

Steven was on the ground. The amber outlines of the force field flashed toward him. He rolled across the rocks before it could hit him again.
