Chapter Thirteen

Nic roared. Pain encompassed him. It was as though every cell in his body was fighting him. Something was suppressing his natural abilities. His preternatural vision and hearing were both stifled. His natural strength was useless to him. Even his drakon fire was ineffective, and that was most frightening of all. Drakon fire could destroy anything, except another drakon.

The statues were creating some kind of invisible shield around him, preventing him from getting away. It was by far the most powerful weapon he’d ever come across. Bullets bounced off his plate-like armored scales. Hell, he’d heard a rumor that one of his kind had shaken off a nuclear blast and laughed.

No, it wasn’t modern weaponry that was a threat to them. It was the drugs and potions the Knights used to keep a drakon weak and in their dragon form, along with words spoken from ancient texts, spells reputed to be able to trap them.

Now this. These statues somehow worked together, rendering him powerless. Nic hadn’t felt this way since he was a child, wondering why his dragon sire had left him and his human mother didn’t want him.

But he was no longer a child. Hadn’t been one for thousands of years. He was cunning and smart and could well afford to outwait the Knights of the Dragon. His brothers would come for him. They had all those years ago and would now. The Knights wouldn’t be expecting them. Before, a drakon taken captive had been alone. Not this time.

“I’ve got you.” Dent was practically dancing around outside the circle. Even though he knew it would be ineffective, Nic roared and sent a plume of fire in Dent’s direction. The man dove to the side, sliding across the concrete even though the fire stopped at the invisible border of the barrier and spread around it. It was like a dome covering him, keeping everything drakon inside, including his fire.

“Sir.” One of the men went to Dent and helped him up. “The women are gone.”

Nic closed his eyes and huffed out a breath. At least Constance and her sister were safe. She’d used him and left him. Or rather, he’d allowed himself to be used by her. His dragon mourned her loss, but he’d never really had her.

They’d made love only one time, but it was enough. He’d never want another woman, assuming he ever escaped from the Knights. She was it for him.

Fury boiled through him. Why couldn’t his woman have wanted him enough to be honest with him? If she’d come to him and told him Dent’s plan, maybe they could have worked something out.

Even as he thought it, he knew nothing could have changed. Constance barely knew him. She cared for him. He sensed that. She wouldn’t have given herself to him so openly and eagerly, no matter what Dent asked of her.

And what lengths would he go to in order to save his brothers? She was only doing the same for her sister. She was loyal and brave.
