Chapter 14

Ren

My name reached me as if from a huge distance away, across an ocean maybe. At first I almost didn’t hear it. Then it penetrated my focus even more insistently.

“Ren! Princess, if you don’t say something soon, I’m going to have to start clanging the sirens.”

I jerked the tablet I’d been clutching away from my chest. My head spun. My stomach pinched, deep into the hollow it had formed in my belly.

How long had I been down here in the basement archive? I rubbed my forehead as if that would clear the mugginess around my thoughts and finally found the wherewithal to answer Marco. “I’m here! Sorry. I just got… really absorbed.”

His chuckled carried, muted, down the stairs. “You might want to consider getting unabsorbed for a bit. I’m thinking it’s about time you ate something. And while I have full confidence in your ability to look after yourself, some of your other mates may be wearing holes in the carpet with their pacing up here.”

I had been down here longer than I realized, then. That pinching in my stomach was a reminder that yes, at some point I should have dinner.

I pushed myself off the armchair. The muscles in my back twanged from so much time spent sitting. Sitting and gazing into visions of times past.

But I still hadn’t found what I was looking for. Not the reason we’d fallen out with the fae. Not a reason to think we could ever count on them again. I bit my lip, nibbling at it in my frustration, as I climbed back up to the main floor.

Marco had stepped back from the doorway to let me through. “There’s my dragon shifter,” he said lightly. “Did you find anything useful?”

“I don’t know,” I said. The climb had left me dizzy. This belly needed food ASAP. “It’d probably be better if I talk about it with all of you at once.”

“I can summon a little patience.”

He paused, giving me a once-over. I guess I looked about as rough as I felt. The feline alpha’s expression softened. He cupped my face, cradling my jaw, and pressed a butterfly of a kiss to the middle of my forehead. “If you’re not there yet, you will be soon, princess. I’m sure of that.”

Good. Someone really should be, and it sure as hell wasn’t me.

The hearty smell of freshly grilled steaks reached my nose. By the time we arrived at the dining room, my mouth was full of saliva.

“Look what the cat dragged in,” Marco announced with a smirk as the other alphas glanced up where they were standing around the table.

Kylie was there too. She bounded over first. “So what’s the big secret? Can you even tell us what’s down there? What have you been doing all afternoon?”

Everyone’s eyes trained on me. Waiting to hear that this trip had been worthwhile. My gut knotted. “It’s… kind of hard to explain.”

Marco rested his hands on my shoulder. “I think our Princess of Flames needs to get some nourishment into her.
