We land in the courtyard of Castle Featherstone. Night has fallen in the Between, but I am surprised to see the lit torches.

I tap Ivy’s leg. “Get off.”

She slides down me awkwardly and only just has time to grab her stick. I push her behind me and pull my sword from the sheath between my wings.

“Bemorr?” Ruzz lands beside me, wings still outstretched.

“Someone is in the roost,” I growl, nodding at the lit sconces.

“That I am.” A familiar voice chuckles, and Lannos sticks his green head out of the main door, cleaning off his hands with a rag. “And not a minute too soon if the kitchen is anything to go by. That’ll be your doing, no doubt, Bemorr?”

“I ran into Lannos in Noon Hollow, and he was anxious to get back.” Ruzz shrugs at me. “And I wanted a decent meal.”

He walks up to Lannos and pats him on the head, which causes the elf to flap his rag at our big alpha. Ruzz takes no notice, other than a hitched lip to show a fang as he strides inside. I realize I still have a hand on Ivy, holding her behind me, and I quickly remove it, sheathing my sword and standing taller from my crouched battle stance.

“I kept the kitchen very clean,” I fire at the elf.

A heavily laden Akon snorts. Grabbing Ivy’s free hand, he gives me a side-eye as he tows her over to the elf.

“This is Ivy, Lannos. Ruzz brought her, and she’s staying here with us now.” He grins goofily as Lannos silently appraises Ivy.

“She needs feeding up,” he says, his face splitting into a sharp toothed smile. “But she’s pretty, and she will brighten up the place.”

Ivy goggles at Lannos for a few seconds, then she breaks out into laughter. “Not sure anyone has ever complimented a woman by telling her she ‘needs feeding up,’ but thank you, sort of.” She leans her stick against her body and holds out her hand.

Lannos regards it for a few seconds and then takes it, shaking it awkwardly as he cocks his head on one side and looks at her stick.

“Alpha should see to your injury, little miss,” he says with a nod.

Ivy opens her mouth into a little “O,” and despite all my earlier mating activity, my cock stirs in my pants.

“He can’t.” She grips at her stick like a lifeline. “It’s too old.” The way she says it, the way her eyes go sad, twists at my shriveled heart.

A heart which can only ever beat for Akon and Ruzz. I can’t have room for anyone else. It’s not possible, especially not for a female.

“Well then, a good hot meal?” Lannos asks, his black elf eyes glittering. “There can’t have been many of those around here while I was gone.”

“I did my best, Lannos.” I feel anger rising. “And it wasn’t safe for you here.” I push past them all and into the castle.

“Like it’s not safe to stay in a castle filled with gargoyle knights,” Lannos mutters.
