Chapter Seven

Alexa’s mind raced as she tried to repeat back every word the ship spoke, but nothing happened. She looked at their enemy drawing closer as they continued to fall slowly toward the ground. Her vampiric teeth elongated. If they thought they could kill her, that they could hurt Brendan again, they had no idea who they faced. She might have lost her touch of death, but they would quickly learn that she was quite adept at killing without it.

Every muscle in her body tensed as an alien shifter jumped on the front of their ship, followed by three others. The wolves’ nails scraped at the glass on the ship’s hood, but they failed to find purchase, and tumbled back to the ground.

She shifted in Brendan’s lap, wishing she had her legs beneath her, that she could easily leap from the vessel and take them by surprise. The odds aren’t in our favor, but I always gamble on living.

More wolves hit the front of the ship when a deafening roar filled the air. The wolves turned and fell from the front of the ship. She looked to the side, and a chill ran over her skin.

A dragon flew straight toward them. She instantly knew it wasn’t a dragon from Mist, because she would recognize the twin brothers anywhere. Nor did it conceal itself with magic. What kind of dragon doesn’t care if it’s seen?

“Uh…dragon,” she said, hitting Brendan in the chest.

“I saw it,” he muttered, still fooling with the controls.

She glanced at it again. It was massive, with scales that gleamed in the morning light. It roared again, fire blasting from its mouth.

“Aren’t you worried?” she asked.

“Yes. But there’s not a hell of a lot I can do if this ship doesn’t move.” He punched a button and the lights outside the craft turned on.

“Great. Maybe it’s afraid of light.” She didn’t need to have experience with dragon shifters to know this one was pissed. The spikes on its spine stood straight up, prepared for battle. It was coming at them, and it wanted them to know it was coming at them.

As she spied the smoke still pouring from its nostrils, she realized this dragon was much more dangerous than the shifters. Those teeth could probably chomp right through the spaceship if he chose to.

“Who do you think it’s coming for?” she asked worriedly.

“At best? The aliens. And that probably includes me.” His serious gaze pierced hers. “At worst? It’s just hungry. So that’s all of us.”

A second later, its shadow covered them. Enormous talons closed around their ship, and suddenly, they were pulled into the sky.

“Oh shit. I guess it just wants us.” Somehow that thought didn’t make her feel any better.

She pressed herself against the window to watch the wolves. Below them, the alien shifters gave chase on land for several seconds. And then, before her eyes, transformed into scaled birds the size of large dogs.

The creatures looked like poor imitations of a dragon. Instead of looking fantastical
