Chapter Seventeen

Ice wasn’t sure what to make of Dirk. The man was an alpha dragon shifter – the power oozing from every pore was unmistakable. However, despite his leadership, the man often deferred to his mate, who was a cute, but unmistakable canine shifter. I’ve never seen this in a dragon mating before, he thought – making him wonder if the way he’d reacted at breakfast had been the best idea after all.

In Dirk’s presence, Byron seemed diminished somehow and Ice looked for signs of the feistiness evident from when they first met. It was definitely lacking. In fact, Byron gave only lackluster answers to the questions Dirk and Jon bombarded him with.

“You haven’t said much, Mr. Sellivik,” Jon noted quietly. “You clearly come from a very powerful dragon lineage, yet you barely speak of your family.”

“That’s because the only family I have any contact with is my half-brother, Petrov, who you already know.” Ice rested his right ankle on his left knee, aiming for a casual pose. “I’m older than any one in this castle and have interests in countless businesses in Europe and in other major cities around the world. You don’t need to worry about your brother’s welfare – I am more than able to care for him in the manner to which he is accustomed.”

Byron’s lips tightened, but otherwise he gave no sign he’d even heard. He was staring at a picture of Dirk and Jon, along with a baby Ice didn’t know that was framed and hung behind Dirk’s desk. The pose was a casual one – very unlike anything else Ice had seen in the castle, and yes, he had snooped while Byron was sleeping. Both men, and the child were smiling, and the picture showed a family devoted to each other.

“That may be so, Mr. Sellivik,” Jon said calmly. “However, it might have been nice if you’d told us you’re currently the only Sellivik heir – the ruling ice dragon family – and that you work for the paranormal council as… what was the term they used? Ah yes, an exclusive hitman. Surely you can see that both of these extreme situations could cause us to worry about the Hollingsworth second and our dear brother.”

“How in the hell…?” Ice recovered quickly. It was never in his best interests to show any emotion of any kind, especially in a semi-hostile situation – Dirk and Jon weren’t welcoming. “My apologies. What I meant to say was both aspects of information you’ve uncovered are completely confidential. I’m surprised you had access to it.”

“Jon is a world class forensic auditor, Mr. Sellivik,” Dirk said with a fond smile at his mate. “Companies all over the world seek his expertise every day. There isn’t anything on a computer he can’t find, and on you, he found plenty.” Dirk reached for a piece of paper Jon handed him. There was a strong glint of dragon in his eyes when he glared at Ice.

“For example, there is a detain and
