CHAPTER FIVE

“Who knew there were so many Blackthorn trees?”

A smack to the back of Jace’s head was quickly followed by a growl. “Would’ve been easier had you remembered the red blossoms before this morning, dumbass.”

“Yeah, sorry ‘bout that.” He hung his head and hoped he hadn’t thrown away his only chance at finding his mate.

“Y’all give the guy a break. He’s worried about Melanie, frustrated at being away from her, and it’s not like every one of you hasn’t screwed up just as bad, if not worse, in your lives.” Kyra scolded.

“But mo chroi’,” Royce began but was quickly cut off.

“But nothing, Roy, I mean it.” The look the tiny witch gave her much bigger mate was scary and the way the giant of a Guardsman buckled under her glare was comical.

Jace almost bust a gut when Lance quipped, “Be careful, grandpa. I’m still waiting for her to turn you into a toad.”

“Dammit, Lance,” Royce bellowed but was cut off as laughter filled the cave where they were camping.

“Seriously, big brother, when are you gonna learn?” Rory chuckled.

Giving up, Royce grunted something unintelligible under his breath and stepped out of the cave. The laughter died down as the Guardsmen packed up their belongings. Kyra sat in the back, working on a spell to scry for not only Melanie but the use of Dorcha magic. Jace looked at all the men he was proud to call brethren. Some of them he’d known since his first transformation, others he’d met in just the last week but none of that mattered, they were all there to help him find his mate. They were all family.

“Whatcha daydreaming about, loverboy?” Liam asked and he bumped Jace with his shoulder on the way by.

“Nothing...Everything...Oh hell...Melanie.”

Liam chuckled as he threw his pack on the pile with the others. “Yeah, well, tell me something new. That shit’s been going on for months.”

“I know. It’s just that...”

“It’s just that you’re afraid we’re not gonna make it in time, that you’re not going to make it in time.” Rory cut in from somewhere behind him.

Before the young Guardsman could get turned around, the Leader of the Blue Thunder Force was standing next to him with his hand on his shoulder. “Look, Jace, I don’t have a mate yet, but I’ve seen firsthand what some of these guys have gone through to claim theirs...”

There were murmurs and grunts of agreement from all the mated Guardsmen and “Hell, yeah” from the little witch before Rory continued. “You’ll find her. Have faith. My one piece of advice is, and remember this is coming from an unmated dragon, make it official as soon as you can. Don’t let her get away from you again. You got a keeper there. I never believed the crap they told us when we were young about the Universe not making mistakes and Fate not being denied but looking at Dev, Roy, and Lance, I gotta say if those losers get to spend eternity with great women, then you and I’ve got it made.
