Chapter 11

Byron

Byron was offended by his reaction to the little human. So intense. So sharp. When she’d thought about being wet, he’d had to go check on Van as an excuse to remove himself from the situation.

None of this was going as he’d expected.

Byron had thought she’d be the one begging them for help. Begging them to mate her because he was obviously a superior dragon to the others he’d met.

Instead, she’d berated him. Talked to him like no human had ever dared. Openly complimented other dragons while insulting Byron for everything.

He slumped in a chair, scratching his head. She was rude and normal and didn’t take any crap from him.

So why did he sort of feel drawn to her anyway?

“She’s different,” Van said, sitting up on the bed, looking drawn and tired.

Byron eyed him carefully. “How are you feeling?” Light was streaming in through the blackout curtains Van sometimes kept drawn, so he had to be feeling slightly better.

Unlike false visions, real ones could bring on terrible headaches.

“What did you see?” Byron asked.

Van was quiet.

Byron didn’t want to push the other dragon. As his only ally in the Blur, he had no choice but to trust Van, and Van seemed to need someone around to keep an eye on things.

It was not how Byron had ever imagined a partnership, but he had to admit it worked.

Maybe he did like protecting someone. Having a shield and no one to use it for had grated on him even in the human world. He was so useful. Someone should want him. He’d been sure he would be picked first at the choosing ceremony.

Then it had gone so wrong.

Byron had then gone to the human world and surrounded himself with suck-ups and lackeys and anyone who would tell him he was as special as he thought he was.

But it was ultimately empty, and when one last attempt to show off had landed him here, he’d began to rethink his own ego.

But not enough to let that bratty human off the hook for calling him the shittiest dragon—

“She what?” Van barked out a laugh, pulling his black hair into a rough ponytail to keep it out of his face.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Byron said, folding his arms stubbornly.

“You kissed her,” Van said, and Byron hated how easy he was to read.

“Maybe.”

“What did you think?”

Byron licked his upper lip, and the adrenaline of kissing her came back as he remembered it. “Breathtaking.” He coughed. “I mean, it was fine.”

“Think we could seduce her?” Van asked. “The two of us? That’s what we have to offer that the other dragons don’t.”

“I think we could sell that,” Byron said. “She hates me, but she’s attracted to me.”

“Hm.”

Byron’s chest tightened as he wondered what the two of them sharing a mate would look like. He’d always wanted to be the center of attention in anything that happened in his life.

What would it be like to focus on someone else for once?

Van’s pale lips were smirking. “It might be nice.
