Chapter Eleven

My lungs heaved, but by the time I got to the keep there were already soldiers taking to the sky and heading towards where the wyverns were fighting with Drikal. I thought I saw Veyne among them, but I wasn’t sure. I definitely didn’t recognize anyone else.

My hands were shaking. Though he’d told me to run as fast as I could, at first I’d been rooted in place. I’d seen the first wave of the attack, watched as one of the wyverns tore into Drikal and heard that blood-curdling howl that ripped out of him and made the wyverns cower even as they flew.

My heart stopped and blood turned to ice in my veins. It was the sound of a primordial creature, something best left to genetic memory and legend. And Drikal had made it. I’d just been riding him, I knew he was a dragon, but somehow the wonder of our flight had made the reality of the situation get fuzzy. He wasn’t some playful creature that took women on magical adventures when his seduction plans fell through. He was a being made for war.

That thought spurred me on and I made it back to the keep, staying under the cover of trees as best I could the entire way there. When I made it to the gate they let me in without question and I collapsed against a wall, breathing hard. Drikal hadn’t said anything about a possible attack before we left, which seemed like an important thing to leave out. Were the dragons at war? He’d called the other beasts wyverns, but I wasn’t sure what the difference was. From what I’d seen before fleeing in terror they had scales and wings and breathed fire just like Drikal. Maybe it was a territorial thing. I’d have to ask.

It didn’t occur to me that this would be the perfect time to break for the gate again. I’d given Drikal my word that I’d stay for two weeks, but it wasn’t like I’d never lied before. But it wasn’t the fighting dragons outside that kept me in the keep.

No, I needed to know that Drikal would be okay.

I didn’t plan to marry the guy, but this wasn’t just lust talking either. He’d gone out of his way to make sure I was alright when I got sick and then he’d taken me flying, something I’d never forget. It would be a dirty trick to take off when he was fighting and had put my safety first, even then. I didn’t know how fast a dragon could fly, but I bet they flew faster when they didn’t have to deal with a human sitting on their back. If I hadn’t been there he could have made it home without engaging, he could have gone out with backup rather than fighting three beasts on his own.

What if he died?

That shouldn’t have hurt as much as it did, considering I’d known the guy for less than two days. But they’d been the two most eventful days of my life.
