Chapter 9

Even after Verrian went quiet, Lisa felt a little better. Somehow, she’d convince him to forget this deal he’d made with Ultrima. Because if he thought she was going to give up on her mate, just because the enemy dragon wanted to mess with them, he had another thing coming.

The fact that he was hanging around and still talking to her showed that he wanted to.

And that thought filled her with a warm glow.

But she’d worry about that later, first she had to get out of here.

And her best chance at that stood right in front of her. The life dragon was watching her, her head tilted to one side, a half smile on her face.

Lisa couldn’t help feeling that the life dragon knew exactly what she’d been up to, talking with Verrian. The thought made her feel a little uncomfortable, and made her want to get as far away from the life dragon as she could.

Trouble was, this whole lair was filled with dragons who were going to make her feel uncomfortable. This one, at least, she knew. Sort of.

“So what did Ultrima say your name was?” Lisa asked her.

“Latrima.” The life dragon’s eyes whirled as she spoke.

A real conversationalist this one. Lisa needed something to draw her out, but she didn’t even know where to start. She knew nothing about the Trima clan, and even less about life dragons.

So she picked something she did know about.

“So, what happens now?” she asked, trying to keep her voice casual. “I’ve never been in an enemy dragon’s lair before. Are you guys just waiting for a chance to kill me?” She couldn’t help her voice breaking a little on that last bit, no matter how hard she tried.

Latrima gave her a reassuring smile. “You are safe here, Lisa. Ultrima has said you are to be protected until he returns.”

Lisa wasn’t sure if that was a relief or not. She certainly didn’t want to still be here when Ultrima returned.

If he did.

“That sounds confident,” she said. “How can he be so certain he’s going to return?”

The life dragon gave a snort. “Do you really think your police could stop him if he wanted to leave? The only reason he’s there is because he agreed to be. The moment he’s had enough, or they push him the wrong way, he’s out of there.”

She had a point. Lisa had seen these dragons up close. If Ultrima transformed, they’d have a hard time stopping him doing whatever he wanted. Except for one thing.

“They have guns,” she pointed out to Latrima. “You know what they do, right?”

A shadow crossed over the dragon’s face, and Lisa winced as she remembered. Latrima had been shot herself, at the fight near the Rian lair.

“Yes, I know,” she said tightly. “But Ultrima is older and tougher than I am. He will have no problems escaping from the humans if he so chooses.”

Lisa didn’t point out that Ultrima had surrendered after Latrima had been shot. She wasn’t sure he was as bulletproof as the life dragon thought he was.
