CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Sabina was reeling from the swoon-worthy kiss she’d just shared with Roman. She’d never been swept away by anything so romantic or glorious or … erotic.

She was still unsteady on her feet, her lips tingling from the desire he fueled with merely a look. A look that had stolen her breath while making her feel as if she were floating as high as the moon.

It had been an oddly glorious feeling that she was eager to experience again. As her mind remembered the reason he’d stopped the kiss, Sabina looked at her brother. Camlo sat on a rock, staring into the flames with his hands flattened against each other and pointed at the ground as he held them between his knees.

He wore an expression of someone who had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Gone was his easy smile and laughing eyes. A man sat before her now. Whatever happened in that cavern had altered her brother significantly.

“Camlo?”

He didn’t look up from the flames or do anything to let her know that he’d heard her.

Sabina made her way to him and sat on the ground beside him. She put her hand on his leg, looking up at him. “Hey, there. Want to tell me what happened in the cavern?”

“Bad things,” he mumbled.

“Something was done to you?”

He gave a shake of his head. “We shouldn’t have come here.”

“I thought you wanted to help V and Roman.”

“I do.” Camlo’s deep brown eyes slid to her.

She watched him for a moment. “I don’t understand. What did you see?”

“Roman and V need to leave. No Dragon Kings should ever come here.”

That gave Sabina pause. “They’re powerful beings. You told me that yourself.”

“Some want them gone. They want to do very bad things to the Kings.”

She could tell he was beginning to get irritated again. Sabina moved to her knees and took his hands in hers. “Did you tell V what happened?”

“He didn’t ask.”

“Why didn’t you tell him?” she pressed.

Camlo shrugged and looked back at the flames. “Because he knows bad things are here.”

That wasn’t much of an answer. For the second time in as many days, she couldn’t figure out what her brother was attempting to say. He wasn’t normally so cryptic, and it was starting to scare her.

She swallowed and gave his arm a shake until he looked at her. “I have to know what happened. Tell me everything.”

“It won’t change anything.”

“You don’t know that.”

He looked away from her, refusing to speak.

But she wasn’t going to give up that easily. “I saw what was on the walls. Did you? Is that what upset you?”

Camlo winced and pulled away as he turned his back to her.

Sabina was so surprised by his actions that she could only stare at him in shock. She climbed to her feet, suddenly feeling so cold that she couldn’t stop shaking. “We came to help V find his sword. You gave him the information he needed to know it was here. Now you don’t want to help him?”

“If I do, he’ll die.
