Chapter 14

Trelon slammed into the conference room. His brothers looked up in concern. Zoran rose from his seat and came around the table. “How is she?” Zoran asked quietly.

Trelon ran his hands through his hair in aggravation. “She is still sleeping. The healer has said she should heal completely. I can feel her dragon, but she is very weak. There was enough poison in Cara to kill a full-grown warrior. Cara is less than half our size. Why? Why would anyone want to harm someone so beautiful?” Trelon asked, sinking down into a chair next to Mandra.

Zoran placed his hand on Trelon’s shoulder before moving around the table to sit back down. “Do we know for sure she was the target? Could it be related to the Curizans’ attack?”

Trelon was shaking his head. “She is the only one who was poisoned. We cannot even be sure how she was poisoned until she wakes so we can ask her what happened. Why was she so far away from the dining area? What did she eat or drink? Could she have been poisoned some other way?” He groaned at all the unanswered questions. He wanted to rip apart the person who had harmed his mate. He wanted to burn them to ash. He wanted Cara to wake up so he could tell her he was sorry for not protecting her better.

“Creon, what have you found out so far?” Zoran asked, turning to the darkest of the five brothers. He had faced things the others couldn’t even imagine during the Great Wars, often going behind enemy lines to find essential information.

Creon looked up, seeming to think about what he was going to say first before he responded. “There appears to be more behind your capture than we suspected. I don’t have enough information yet to give you the answers you are seeking. I am looking into some new Intel I’ve received from some of my sources. Once I have confirmed they are valid, I can give you more information.”

“Well, that was a great way to tell us absolutely nothing. Thanks, Creon,” Kelan said sarcastically.

“Anytime, brother,” Creon said, giving Kelan a rude flick of his middle finger.

Mandra chuckled. “Creative, brother. Where did you learn that symbol?”

Creon grinned. “The human female Carmen seems to have a passionate use for it around me. Abby explained what it meant,” Creon turned to Kelan. “It is not meant as a compliment.”

Kelan growled. “I know exactly what it means. Trisha has used it more than once on me.”

Trelon looked at his brothers and said sadly. “My mate used it on me once. I wish she would do it again.”

Mandra leaned over and punched Trelon in the shoulder. “She will. I thought you would be happy she is getting some sleep. I’ve heard she is a handful. I’ve also heard she had kept you pretty exhausted.”

Trelon grinned briefly before he sobered. “She has. I just want her to sleep because I’ve exhausted her, not because someone tried to kill her.”

“Let us get back on task,” Zoran said with a smile.
