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 Ivyâs leg. âGet off.â
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.
âBemorr?â Ruzz lands beside me, wings still outstretched.
âSomeone is in the roost,â I growl, nodding at the lit sconces.
âThat I am.â A familiar voice chuckles, and Lannos sticks his green head out of the main door, cleaning off his hands with a rag. âAnd not a minute too soon if the kitchen is anything to go by. Thatâll be your doing, no doubt, Bemorr?â
âI ran into Lannos in Noon Hollow, and he was anxious to get back.â Ruzz shrugs at me. âAnd I wanted a decent meal.â
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.
âI kept the kitchen very clean,â I fire at the elf.
A heavily laden Akon snorts. Grabbing Ivyâs free hand, he gives me a side-eye as he tows her over to the elf.
âThis is Ivy, Lannos. Ruzz brought her, and sheâs staying here with us now.â He grins goofily as Lannos silently appraises Ivy.
âShe needs feeding up,â he says, his face splitting into a sharp toothed smile. âBut sheâs pretty, and she will brighten up the place.â
Ivy goggles at Lannos for a few seconds, then she breaks out into laughter. âNot sure anyone has ever complimented a woman by telling her she âneeds feeding up,â but thank you, sort of.â 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.
âAlpha should see to your injury, little miss,â he says with a nod.
Ivy opens her mouth into a little âO,â and despite all my earlier mating activity, my cock stirs in my pants.
âHe canât.â She grips at her stick like a lifeline. âItâs too old.â 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 canât have room for anyone else. Itâs not possible, especially not for a female.
âWell then, a good hot meal?â Lannos asks, his black elf eyes glittering. âThere canât have been many of those around here while I was gone.â
âI did my best, Lannos.â I feel anger rising. âAnd it wasnât safe for you here.â I push past them all and into the castle.
âLike itâs not safe to stay in a castle filled with gargoyle knights,â Lannos mutters.
