Chapter 5

Kale was trembling with rage. The village had been impossible to save. There were victims, fortunately none dead, and for the most part people had managed to get out before the flames could trap them inside the burning buildings and they could be badly hurt. The village was under his protection! Damn it! He was supposed to be some great feared ruler! Freaking fake, that’s what he was. Couldn’t even keep his brother safe inside his own home. He should have realized sooner just how weak he was. Hadn’t failing his mate taught him that? For his part, Aeri had been surprisingly helpful, directing people and lending a hand where help was needed. The fires had been, for the vast majority, extinguished by Aeri as he had some freaky powerful control over fire. Not even Kale, who was a living and breathing fire drakon, could do what Aeri could do with fire. Kale had intentionally paid no attention to his mate through all this, giving the man the opportunity to just cut his losses and go as far away as possible from Kale. Aeri had been just fine before he had met Kale. He would be fine without Kale putting him in danger. For now, nobody knew who the intimidating redhead next to their domin was and as long as it stayed that way, Aeri would be safe. The Council was gone and Kale was making it his life’s mission to hunt down its last member, Daggart. His uncle’s killer and the one that was probably causing all the problems. He felt a twinge of betrayal thinking about Mikal Daggart. He had been the one to find Kale and Dale after their parents’ death and take them to safety. Him and Kanael were the reason the brothers were alive today. He still couldn’t believe what he had seen with his own eyes, Mikal killing his uncle. No matter the reasons, Mikal Daggart was dangerous. With him dead, Aeri was safe. As for who had hurt his brother, his men were already closing in on him. He was as good as dead. If they didn’t get him, Caden would tear the man apart. That had been a surprise, Aeri referring to his friend as Dale’s mate. Kale should have seen it long before. Kanael hadn’t been at all surprised.

He was a failure, he thought, morosely watching the destruction around him. They would be provided for, the families sheltered until new homes could be built. He had failed all of them all. Kale though he could see that realization in their sad and shocked eyes.

After they finished doing all they could to help contain the last fires and organize something temporary to house the almost five thousand homeless villagers, Kale and Aeri left the soldiers and volunteers to do the relocation and anything else that needed to be done. Kale had put in charge one of his lieutenants, a decent guy with whom he had had the honor of fighting beside. He had given the man carte blanche on covering all costs resulting from this disaster.
