Chapter Eight

All through their dinner at the Chinese buffet restaurant, Cassandra avoided mentioning her meeting with Margaret. Edmund impressed her with the way he handled the two Asian waitresses who lingered by their table. Offering to clear his plate and refill it as soon as he finished. By the time they’d left, the two waitresses had worked up their nerve to asking him for an autograph.

Once they returned to their secluded home in the woods, he took her hand. Feeling her hand against his warm palm made her heart race. He hadn’t touched her since they left Seattle. Her body flushed with heat like a wanton teenager, remembering the sensations he released from within her.

A battle warred inside her. Part of her—a large part—wanted him to claim her. Anticipation sent a shiver down her spine. She longed to show him exactly how he made her feel. Maybe because the society of her family forbid it. Maybe because he was a dragon. Maybe because she liked him, almost loved him.

And the more time she spent with him, the more she felt herself falling head over heels for him.

She couldn’t do this right now.

She had the meeting with Margaret.

What would happen?

Maybe in time she could settle down, when the Keepers elected change and Margaret no longer posed a threat to her family.

They walked together, along a lit path into the woods. “I need to tell you something. But first, I need you to promise you won’t go disappearing on me for several days again.”

He took her other hand, pulled her close. “I will control my temper, and I didn’t ever go far from you.”

Cassandra’s gut reaction told her to trust him. She swallowed hard, preparing for his reaction. “I’ve made contact with Margaret, and I’ve arranged a meeting with her.”

Edmund released her. He ran his hand and ran it through his hair. “And this is why you took me to meet your mother, to understand her blackmailing you?”

She shouldn’t have been surprised, after all, her father had always warned Cassandra trouble would catch up with them sooner or later. “She is all I have left. I have to protect her.” Cassandra took a deep breath. “Which is why I need you to take me to Vancouver.”

“So that is where she has fled.”

“And there is actually one more thing I need to tell you.” Cassandra watched him carefully. “Margaret Moldvan is my mother’s half-sister.”

“I see,” he said. And to his credit, he didn’t appear as horrified as she expected. “Are all you Keepers related?”

She laughed, trying to ease the tension she felt. “No. There are few families left in our circle, so it would seem as it would be so, but not all of us are. There are the Moldvans, Doylans, Balkans, and Rankins.”

Edmund snagged her in his magnetic gaze. Instead of the judgment she cringed to see, she found compassion and kindness in his eyes. “How long has your mother been…”

“Since my father’s accident,” she finished for him.

Edmund nodded. “And this meeting with Margaret?”

“Friday at the Dungeon.
