Stig held Cora close as she dozed. Although he felt more

settled and happy than he ever had in his life, Stig worried

he’d made a big mistake. He’d succumbed to his lust,

desire, and his forbidden love for Cora without a second

thought for the consequences. Ignatius would be furious

when he learned Stig had found his mate and that she was

human. It simply wasn’t done. There were rules about that

kind of thing, rules he’d agreed to follow when he’d

pledged his allegiance to the Brotherhood. Dabbling with

human females was at the top of that list.

Farther down that list? Taking a mate, period. Ignatius

wouldn’t allow mated males to remain in the Brotherhood.

A man shouldn’t be torn between his duties to his wife and

family and his duties to his Brothers. Ignatius had drilled

that into his head. Cutting ties with the men he considered

family wouldn’t be easy but one glance at Cora’s sweet

face and he was ready to make that call to confess.

But it wasn’t just the very real possibility he’d be

discharged from his duties as a Brother of the Green Hide

for taking a mate that troubled him. He was worried about

Cora.

The fact that her touch had provoked such a profound

change in his dragon form convinced Stig she was meant

to be his mate, but what did that mean exactly? It wasn’t

natural. If she’d been a human of the witch variety, he

wouldn’t have been so spooked, but he’d never heard of

anything like this happening with other men and their

mates. And what would the others say when they saw the

effect her touch had on him? Would it be viewed

positively or seen as a scourge?

Stig didn’t know and it terrified him. He had to protect

Cora. He’d been rash in his decision to introduce her to

his secret world. He’d been cavalier in surrendering to his

primitive needs last night. He’d put Cora in a position

with consequences she likely couldn’t fathom.

So what to do now?

Stig still pondered that question when Cora woke a

little while later. He didn’t want to upset her, so he pushed

aside his worries and kissed her tenderly. They eventually

got dressed and made their way downstairs for a very,

very late breakfast. He hung back long enough to send a

quick text to Ignatius, who had called numerous times and

left half a dozen messages. His belly twisted with guilt as

he typed the message assuring Ignatius he was fine. He’d

broken their covenants and now lied about it. Love and

lust were doing strange things to him.

“What did you do before building the holding cell down

there?” Cora wondered as they noshed on her delicious

food a little while later. “I mean, that’s relatively new,

right?”

Stig nodded, glad for the discussion, since it gave him

something to think about other than his betrayal of the

Brothers. “I’ve made modifications over the last fifty

years in terms of security. Before the cell, we built cages

in one of the caves at a training camp and kept watch over

one another. If we were away from the camps, we had

clavigers to keep an eye on us during the mating phases.”

“Clavigers?”

“Human caretakers and servants.”

“Weren’t they vulnerable? I mean, these Knights you

talk about seem pretty evil.
