Chapter

Nine

“We should leave tomorrow.”

Looking up at Dray, I see how firmly set he is in this new plan as he sits down next to me, the old couch sinking with the weight of my dragon mate. The room smells like cooked meat from our dinner of deer and sweet orange from the handmade juice I just finished off. I’m sitting between him and Nakoa, my legs curled up. A part of me is just sad to leave this sanctuary my mates and I have found here. It has been nice, just us three, no arguments for once. We planned to stay for another week, to make sure everyone is healed completely, but it’s clear Dray has had enough healing and waiting. Tarrent leans back on the other couch, spreading his arms over the back. “Then we need a solid plan. He will have some fucked up trick waiting for us no matter what we do.”

“I think we should go to my mother’s pack. At least we will be able to defend ourselves if it’s more than just him,” I suggest.

“The creatures he makes,” Nakoa muses, and I nod. There is no way he isn’t bringing an army of them to fight us. “Our fire can destroy them, but it depends how many he created.”

Tarrent tenses. “Sallette used to get angry when Arawn spent a great deal of weeks with his creatures. There could be hundreds of thousands for all we know.”

“Likely more,” Dray warns. “He won’t face us without an army.”

I clear my throat. “This time, it’s different. I was sent back here to destroy him, and I will do anything, I mean anything, to achieve that. We are even, for once, in terms of power.”

“And you are not alone like him,” Dray growls with shadows in his eyes that I wish he would let me help with. He has been a closed book since he has gotten better, and Nakoa believes he is just afraid of losing me again. Arawn won, and we all suffered for it, but I think Dray suffered the most. But I’ll be here, waiting for when he wants to talk. We haven’t talked about what he went through at all like the others, and I don’t think he’s ready to tell me yet. He’s much older than I am, hundreds of years older, and I don’t know if this is not the first time he’s been tortured, but I imagine it’s not. I don’t think he wants to scare me with the truth. But I saw enough of the truth down there to be furious at Arawn and want him dead for it. For that and so many things. That’s why I could never stay here, as happy as we are, when he is out there alive. Dray wraps his arm around my waist, near enough pushing Nakoa out of the way. Nakoa huffs and pulls my legs onto his lap and begins to rub my feet.

Possessive males.

“We have some weapons, enough to defend ourselves, but we can always shift,” Nakoa suggests.
