Chapter Five

Nikai paced his master suite, not seeing the large space before him. He wondered for the hundredth time how his brother could’ve fooled him for so long. Sure, Nadim was a master manipulator, but Nikai never thought he would’ve been a damn idiot who fell for Nadim’s treachery. “Oh, but I was, dammit.”

He slammed his fist against the stone wall. A satisfying crunch of bones echoing around him heralded the breaking of several bones. Minutes later, he grunted when the wounds healed. At least the injury gave him a second to wallow in his own pity.

“What has put you in this foul mood, son?”

He spun toward the entrance, shocked to hear his father’s booming voice. “What are you doing here?” Nikai asked, ignoring the question, and asking his own. He strode across the space, pulling his father into an embrace that would’ve been bone breaking if the old King wasn’t almost as large as Nikai.

“Is this not still our home?” King Nadir lifted one dark brow.

“Everything is still yours and mother’s. I just rule it with an iron fist.” Nikai held up his healed hand, wishing the damn thing was as mangled as his heart.

Taking a step back, he looked his father up and down, trying to gauge why he’d returned. Both his parents had found a sense of belonging with Tanith and her husband on the other side of their realm. Nikai had made several trips to ensure they were safe and happy, although he’d have gladly killed the entire clan of dragons had they fucked with his blood.

“I am only teasing you, son. You know your mother isn’t willing to move back here. That is unless, of course, you’ve got a house of little dragonlings for her to fuss over. Even then, I’m not sure she’d want to leave your sister.” His father shook his head, but his smile belied the fact they were happy right where they were.

Nikai didn’t know how to break the news of Nadim’s betrayal to his father, nor the fact they had a grandchild who’d been taken away from all of them. Fuck, he’d been back home for over a week and still hadn’t come to grips with the knowledge. Nor had he gotten over losing his Belle for the second time. He’d thought knowing where she was would ease the ache. He’d been wrong, so damn wrong.

“Nikai, what is it?” His father asked, placing one hand on his shoulder, the other over Nikai’s heart.

Having the King as a father when he’d been young was a blessing and a curse. He and Nadim were wild, yet their mother told them they needed to set an example for their kingdom. Nikai took her dictate to heart; his brother laughed and did the opposite. By the time he’d been three summers, his dragon had already appeared, and he’d been huge. Nadim was angry that his own dragon didn’t come out, and until then, he and Nadim never fought. Thinking back to that time, he understood what it cost his parents to watch them fight.
