Chapter Fourteen

All Thursday Amber waited to hear from Ronan while she, Donna and Gary continued to stay at Kade’s. It wasn’t until Friday evening that Alsandair appeared from the Void as she stepped out of the bathroom, having just finished filling the last of her jewellery with power. A quick mental search showed her Kade was in the lounge room with Brann.

Grabbing hold of Alsandair’s forearm, she tugged him outside before he had a chance to speak. Letting him go, she pointed a finger at him. “You stir Kade like that again and I’ll tell him I don’t care if he kills you. What did you think you were doing winking at me like that?”

“Give me a call when you get bored with Kade and-”

“Stop right there. I’m not interested.”

“You kept him from killing me.”

She shook her head, barely able to believe what she was hearing. “Are you serious? Did you really think I’d have let him kill you over a misunderstanding? You dragons are unbelievable. I did not save you because I’m interested in you. I saved you because I don’t believe in killing people because of a moment of stupidity.”

“You think I’m stupid?”

“No,” she growled the word. “Why are you here anyway?”

“Ronan sent me.”

“Why does he keep sending you? Why not one of his other Golds?”

Alsandair shrugged.

Amber stared at him a moment longer, trying to figure it out. Giving up, she asked, “What’s the message?”

“Your grandparents are ready to talk. Ronan wants to see both of you.”

She nodded. “Let him know we’ll be there soon.”

With a nod, Alsandair disappeared into the Void.

Amber sighed heavily, hoping she’d sorted Alsandair out. She’d hate to see him killed over a misunderstanding. Although she was beginning to wonder if it had been more about a dragon seizing what he thought was an opportunity to get close to a mage.

“Amber?” Kade stepped outside. “What are you doing out here?”

“Ronan wants to see us. My grandparents are ready to talk.”

“Who brought the message?”

She wanted to tell him that it didn’t matter, but she could see it clearly did. “Alsandair.”

“Why did you bring him out here?”

“So I could tell him that if he keeps stirring you I won’t care if you kill him. Happy?”

“Yeah.” Kade stepped forward, a grin in place as he held her. “Is that a promise?”

“It doesn’t count if you,” she jabbed a finger against his chest, “stir him first.”

“Are you ready to go?”

“I need to tell Mum-”

“Brann can tell her.” He took them through the Void to Ronan’s place before she could object.

“Kade!”

“We didn’t have time for a lecture.”

“Well you better make time for this one.”

They both turned to face Ronan.

“A lecture about what?” Amber asked.

“He’s the reason we were attacked at Feralenzi.” Ronan’s gaze remained on Amber, but he nodded towards Kade.

“I told no one,” Kade said.

Ronan finally looked at Kade. “Except for putting in a request to make it another test. Negotiating for and gaining something of value. Well you nearly lost something of even more value.”

“You turned it into a test?” Amber demanded.
