Chapter Eight

Her dragon offered up extra senses so that she could follow Brommin.

The glow of his aura was up and on the fourth floor, so she smashed through one of the twenty-foot windows of the ballroom and headed outside.

The sight of him through a window, bloody and chained, filled her with fury. She dove for the window, wrapping her wings around her at the moment of impact.

She stood in the space in front of Brommin and glared at the ten younger males who were carrying weapons. “Why?”

One of the bolder males in his early twenties snarled. “He won’t even consider one of our sisters. You are a filthy human-born dragon. Abomination, you shouldn’t even exist.”

She cocked her head and smiled grimly at them. She lashed out with her wings and cut the chains from Brommin. He got to his feet, and he murmured, “Don’t kill them.”

She nodded, and her dragon took over.

When she held up her hands and spouted diamond claws, three tried to run for the exit. A swish of her wings and the door closed.

She grabbed and grappled with each of the men, some attacked her wings and learned how sharp they were, her claws cut faces, one by one until each of the ten who had hauled off her beloved were marked and stained by their complicity in the evening’s work.

Brommin began knocking heads together, and eventually, they were the only two standing. He came to her and wrapped his arms around her. “I am sorry that this happened. I expected them to attack you, not me.”

She sighed and pressed her head to his chest. “I still choose you.”

“Good. We might have a few minutes left. Hold tight and pull in your wings.”

She let him cradle her in his arms, and he spread his wings, walking to the window she had shattered and launching them into the night and back the way she had come.

He cruised through the window of the ballroom and directly toward her cubicle. His landing was a little rough, but he was there in time. She held him tight, and the other men didn’t ask what had happened.

When the chime sounded, she was still in his arms. The walls of darkness dissipated, and those gathered were exposed.

Brommin walked to the couch in the corner, retracted his wings, and he settled down.

She looked at him and winced. His cheek was swollen, his eye was red, there was a cut on his lip that went from top to bottom. “They hurt you.”

He smiled. “I will be fine by dawn. Thank you for coming for me.”

“I don’t know how important it was for you to be here, but I knew you would never avoid a chance to have me in your arms.”

“Never. If they hadn’t gotten me by surprise, I would have found my way to you in every grouping.”

“And thereby driving the organizers insane.”

He sighed. “Just as we are doing now. You are meant to be talking with others.”

She sighed and pressed a quick kiss to his lip, exhaling gently, and her dragon added a certain something.
