Chapter Twelve

Drake made sure he was the first to offer to escort Elsbeth back to her room. Flint shot him a look that let him know this was not over. Drake Just looked back and let him know, anytime, anywhere.

His brother's maneuvering was the least of his problems though. Elsbeth hated him. He could see it in her eyes when she looked at him. It was as if he were something stuck to the bottom of her shoe. She couldn’t get rid of him fast enough.

They walked together, shoulder to shoulder, down the long passageway.

“Your family is very nice,” Elsbeth said, her voice as gently as a summer wind.

“They can be when they try,” Drake answered. How was he going to broach this wall that had risen between them? How could he explain? Why did he have to? Shaking his head, he steered her around a corner. It was obvious she’d be lost within seconds if someone wasn’t to show her the way.

“Why didn’t you tell me about the medallion?” she asked, again, her question coming from out of nowhere.

He paused for a moment, then said, “Would you have? I mean would you have informed someone you’ve known only a few days that they held the power to claim your ancestral home? To destroy everything that you hold dear?”

She halted in mid stride, looking up at him with confused eyes. “It is just that I thought … I … Never mind,” she said with a huff and began walking again.

“Elsbeth,” he called out to her as she stomped away.

“What?” she demanded with her hands on her hips. “What, are you going to tell me? That lying to me about being a dragon was perfectly acceptable? The fact that your family is in a war with other dragons and my mother’s medallion might be part of it. Or, the fact that you are a prince? That all this will be yours one day. That you are just as rich and famous in your own world as I am in mine? What Drake? What were you going to tell me?”

Drake bit his lip for a moment. “Actually,” he said, “I was going to tell you that your room is that way. You missed a turn.”

“Ohhhh,” she screamed as she slammed her foot into the ground. She shot him an evil look, then scurried past him to the turn she had missed.

“And, I’m not going to inherit this,” he added.

Once again, she halted and looked back at him confused.

“Why? You are the oldest. And a male. That means you inherit.”

He shook his head. “Not in my world. No, this is all to be Gwyn’s. She will inherit from my mother. In our world, the ladies rule, the men protect. Thank God.

“What do you mean protect?” she asked with a curious frown.

He sighed, “In our world, the women reign over everything. That is why it is so important that we pick a soul mate for our life partner. We must trust them wholly and with all of our being.
