Chapter 10

I blinked my eyes a few times and my vision returned to normal. The psychic dragon network was still there. Tapping into it was as simple as it might be to turn my head and look another direction, only it was a look within. Cycling Drayke's dragon blood worked even better than I'd hoped. I couldn't reach out to Mercy. Even if I randomly chose the right light, the right star that represented her presence, Corbin would hear anything I told her.

I still didn't know a good spell to free Mercy or any of the other vampires—there were probably dozens of them—from dragon form. One reason for that was I still didn't know exactly how Corbin pulled it off. What I knew was that somehow Corbin pulled Mercy and the other ones out of their car, even out of their clothes, before they became dragons. Zale believed some kind of portal was involved. That might have explained how Corbin took Mercy and the others from the car. It didn't give me any clue as to what mechanism he used to transform them into dragons. My best guess was that whatever dragon blood Corbin used to make himself into a dragon, he gave them as well. I could pull the blood out of a vampire's body. The problem with that was I didn't know how to focus a spell that would target only the dragon blood within them. If I exsanguinated them—which I could do—they'd become feral vampires. While some ferals could become regular vampires again after they fed, it was more likely they'd remain feral indefinitely. I couldn't do that to Mercy, Mel, Sarah, or any of the other vampires Corbin recruited into his brood.

I straightened out my shirt and tucked my hair behind my ears. The television was paused. Bilbo Baggins' face was frozen in the middle of a word. It wasn't his most attractive look. Not that I found Bilbo attractive ever. I mean, he was a hobbit. Then again, given my recent history with men—ranging from a few lust-filled encounters with a sociopathic vampire to sleeping with a wolf-shifter and making out with a merman—I might have settled for a nice, stable, hobbit with a sense of adventure. The big furry feet would be a major barrier. Then again, at least he had feet rather than paws or fins.

"Did it work?" Connor asked.

I tilted my head. "You're still here."

Connor nodded. "I could hear your conversation with the dragon. It didn't feel right to leave."

Pauli was gone. Annabelle was leaning against the front door. Zale was on the couch, resting his legs.

Connor rested a hand on my shoulder. "I know there's nothing I can do. Not really. Still, it feels like I should try. I have some pretty acute senses. If you can't talk to Mercy, I know her scent. I don't know if she smells the same now. Maybe she does, though."

I nodded. "That's sweet. You're still talking about going after dragons as a wolf. It's not an even match.
