Chapter Thirteen

Luther watched all the players in the room as they ate. Victoria picked at her food. She was pale. He didn’t like that. He had no idea what she was thinking.

Caine had a dragon, or rather a drakon. Luther knew the difference very well considering he was one. He’d wanted to kill Temple, Caine, and the guards and free his father. But he’d restrained himself. He needed to know more of the setup, to find his mother. If she’s even here.

One wrong move could get them all killed.

It was almost too much to take in after all these years of relentless searching, of dead ends and disappointments. He was so close now he could practically taste success. Which was why it was vitally important he not do anything that might screw things up. He needed to take his time and think things through, which wasn’t easy with his head still pounding.

Mostly, he needed to understand what the hell had happened to him when he’d gotten close to the cell where they were keeping his father. Something had weakened him. He hadn’t truly believed there were symbols or artifacts that could do such a thing.

Now he did.

Whatever was etched on the walls of his father’s prison was weakening him. It seemed to have no adverse effect on the others, only on him. That could be a very big problem. In his time with Temple, he’d also learned there were drugs used to control drakons. It had to be a combination of them, along with the chains and thick walls of the cell, keeping his father contained.

That and the fact they had his mother to use as leverage.

He had to proceed with caution. The last thing Luther needed was to end up in a cell next to his father. That wouldn’t help any of them.

Saunders and Jenkins were seated at a small table in the corner of the room, chowing down. Like Luther, Oscar had abstained from eating or drinking anything other than bottled water, which he’d covertly examined before opening it.

Oscar was smarter than the others. More suspicious, too.

“Why don’t your men wait outside while we discuss business?” Caine suggested. “We don’t need an audience.”

Temple frowned. “They stay.”

“Don’t trust me, Herman?” Caine taunted.

“No.”

Caine threw back his head and laughed. “Smart man. Two of them can stay if it makes you feel better. More than that, and I’ll think you don’t want to negotiate in good faith. And, of course, your assistant stays.” He waved his hand, and his guards opened the door and left. Luther gave his head a jerk, and Oscar followed him out into the hall.

He didn’t want to leave Victoria, but he wanted to talk to Oscar alone, and this was the only way to accomplish that. She should be fine for a short time. The men had business to discuss. And with the Knights, business always came first. He planned to be back long before they finished.

“You can wait down there.” The biggest of the guards jerked pointed to a room down the hall.
