Chapter 9

If Nikolai was surprised by the warmth of Gayle’s greeting, flinging herself into his arms the moment she saw him standing in the sitting room, then his usual unsmiling demeanor and coldly assessing eyes didn’t reveal it as he briefly hugged her back. He even kept an arm about her waist to keep her at his side once the hug was over, seeming to know how much Gayle needed that as the two of them turned to face the whole of the Pendragon family.

For Gayle’s part, it was just so good to see a familiar face. One that wasn’t a dragon shifter or someone married to one. Someone normal, after the insanity of the past few hours. “Is Adam here too?”

“Unfortunately not,” Nikolai drawled. “But he sends his love.”

“I—”

“Take your hands off her!” Grigor demanded as he strode forcefully into the room. “And who is this Adam you keep talking about?” He turned his accusing gaze on Gayle.

She instinctively moved closer to Nikolai as Grigor walked toward them, his eyes glowing that scary red. Luckily, it seemed to be the only part of him that had partially shifted.

“What the hell?” Nikolai murmured beside her. “What mischief have you been up to this time, little girl?” he prompted indulgently.

“I said take your hands off my mate!” Grigor towered over the other man by at least five inches.

“Mate?” Nikolai lowered his head slightly to look into Gayle’s face. “You’ve mated with a dragon shifter?”

Her eyes widened at the realization, the shock, of knowing Nikolai knew exactly what and who the Pendragon brothers were.

“Yes, she is my mate!” Grigor thundered, seemingly stripped of all pretense of being human as talons pierced the tips of his fingers and his hand encircled her wrist to pull her toward him. Except Nikolai Volkov refused to remove his arm from about her waist. “You will release her right now if you do not wish to have your head ripped from your body!”

The Russian’s eyes narrowed to steely slits. “I will release Gayle when she asks me to do so, not you.”

Gayle felt like a tasty bone being fought over by two predators. Grigor might be a dragon shifter, but Nikolai had grown up and survived on the harsh streets of Moscow, and he bowed down before no man. Or dragon shifter, apparently. Gayle knew from talking with Adam that Nikolai had more than earned his name in the London underworld as the Wolf. Consequently, he didn’t seem in the least concerned that he was currently standing in a room with seven dragon shifters, one of whom had just threatened to rip his head off with his lengthy talons.

“It’s okay, Nikolai.” Gayle gave his chest a reassuring pat as she stepped away from him. “He’s basically a big flying lizard who likes to throw his weight around.” She heard one of the other women in the room give a titter of laughter, but she had no idea which one as she kept her challenging gaze fixed on a Grigor.
