Chapter Eleven

Torran

He wanted to say that his talk with Lilly had helped. That things were better now, and that he was back to figuring out how to prove to her that they were truly mated to one another. That was the ideal scenario, and how he had hoped things might play out between the two of them.

Reality was a cruel mistress however, and while things were cordial between them, Lilly had done a masterful job of holding back and keeping her distance. Two more days had passed since they had talked. Two days where Torran had been forced to keep to himself. Two days that he’d been in close company with his mate and unable to declare his feelings for her. Two days in which—

“Life isn’t supposed to be this painful,” he growled to himself.

This was why mating with a dragon was the sensible way to go. They could both feel the bond, and neither of them denied it. They just knew that things were meant to happen for a reason, and that this was one of those things. Lilly, however, did not happen to feel it, and as such she was able to keep herself away while Torran hurt alone.

He was aware it wasn’t all about him, and he’d done his absolute best not to guilt her into anything, or to let on just how much pain he was in. For the most part he succeeded. But when he was alone like this, who was to blame him for partaking in a bit of self-pity.

Lilly wasn’t being ignored; she was fast asleep. The grounds were secure. He’d just finished seeing to that. Now he was going to maintain watch until the early hours, where he would retire to his room, which was between hers and the stairs. Torran had seen to every aspect of her security that he could think of, with what he had available.

Besides, Damien was just a human. There was little he could do that Torran would be unable to stop.

The night was chill, and even though the temperature didn’t bother him, he would still have preferred to be inside by the fire. It was more comfortable. He could stare into the flames and lose himself in a way that walking across half-frozen earth could not.

Moonlight was eclipsed by shadow. Without thinking he threw himself as far forward as he could, ducking into a roll. Something swooped by overhead. Something big. Torran came to his feet looking around, trying to spot the intruder.

The only thing he could see was a figure on the ground in front of him.

“Very funny,” he snarled, coming out of his crouch and letting go of the power that he’d summoned to his defense.

“Gotta keep you on your toes,” Rowe said with a laugh, walking out of the darkness.

The pair clasped hands.

“What brings you here in the middle of the night?”

Rowe didn’t answer immediately. He just started walking, motioning for Torran to follow.

“The ranch is that way,” he pointed.

“I’m aware.” Rowe kept walking in almost the exact opposite direction.
