Chapter Twenty-Eight

Lucas

“The dragons are right,” I say, watching Eva’s wide eyes go wider.

We could hear what they were saying in the other room — one of the perks of superhuman senses — and hearing Eva say that she feels a connection to me is the most powerful aphrodisiac I’ve ever experienced. I want to cross the room right now, scoop her into my arms, and make love to her endlessly until I can’t anymore.

But the look in those hazel eyes is what stops me. Eva looks confused, lost, searching for something to cling to. Only the only thing near is the damn dragon king, his arms already around her.

“What?” she says, her face still a mask of confusion. “A baby?”

I nod. “We’ve been trying to decipher what exactly the prophecy expects of you, and that’s what we’ve come up with. The advisers agree that it’s the only logical answer. You are the one, Eva. The one who has the power to bear the child that will destroy all evil.”

Her eyes are shimmering, but her body is shaking and Eva’s hands wrap around herself, pulling away from Trylor.

“But that’s… That can’t be—”

“Eva,” Morgan says, stepping forward to kneel next to the chair. He takes her hand in his and I feel a spike of jealousy run through me. He got to her first. Not that it’s surprising at all. Not that I even blame him. If I’d had the chance, I know I would have already had her too. But we’d been busy and I didn’t want to startle her or frighten her away.

Though, looking at her now, it seems that’s exactly what’s happened.

“Eva,” he whispers again, pressing a kiss to the back of her hand. “I promised you I would find answers and this is it. The prophecy talks about us, the four of us, finding you and…” He stops, glancing around the room.

“It’s said that you will mate with all of us,” Brandt says, jumping in to save Morgan the trouble of finding those crass words.

“To bear one of our children,” I say, my voice soft and soothing as I take a step forward.

But Eva’s got the look of a panicked rabbit now, her eyes darting from one corner of the room to another, her whole body trembling in fear as she pushes away from Trylor’s grasp, standing on shaky feet.

“That’s crazy. How is a baby going to help anything? And if you didn’t notice, they kind of take a while. You have to be reading it wrong.”

I shake my head, wishing I could help her understand, wishing there was something I could do to ease this burden for her. But there’s nothing. There’s nothing any of us can do for her. Eva is the one and that comes with responsibility, with a heavy weight of duty that none of us can shoulder for her.

We all watch her for a long moment, pity shining out of every pair of eyes. We all knew it was something like this. We knew it when we met her.
