Alex never felt so terrified in his life as he did watching Nicole enter the dragon pavilion.

A dangerous unease brewed in his breast. There was so much she needed to know, and he hadn’t prepared her for any of it. She didn’t have natural self-preservation.

Nicole was going to get herself in trouble.

He watched her peer down the too-large steps searching for him. Alex stood on the tier closest to the stage. Between them, all the families gathered. No one had dared not to send at least one representative. He followed Titanite’s progress up the right-side steps. She floated daintily past Nicole. Nicole pulled back and put her head down.

If Titanite realized Nicole’s value, Nicole could be hurt.

And he could do nothing.

Not without risking all their lives.

He turned. He had to focus.

Iolite swept into the space beside him. Her low voice conveyed tension. “There’s a problem.”

“Bigger than Nicole’s presence?”

“Worse. The hulls aren’t on display.”

He turned to face her. “That’s impossible.”

“Emery told me in the entranceway. Chrysotile planned to line the entrance hall with the hulls. Yesterday, she changed her mind.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know, but it gets worse. I’ve heard the hull we wanted may have been destroyed.”

“How can it have been destroyed? That’s the proof needed to show House Zeolite that we own the Colonies.”

Her lips tightened ,and her voice dropped even lower. “Perhaps whatever proof your brother found has already been leaked, and someone realized it was better to rest on our history.”

That changed everything.

He focused on Emery, the female dragon she’d mentioned. A younger female with a new husband and an infant dragonlet, she was related to Genthelvite through a parent’s marriage, making her main branch, but at the outer limit. She flitted from high-class aristocrat to high-class aristocrat. Given her youth, asking awkward questions might be overlooked.

“Can Emery confirm whether the hull was destroyed?”

“Not easily.” Iolite’s eyes shifted color, but her face remained impassive, as if she were making unimportant conversation. “I used her for another purpose.”

“This is critical.” Alex had a few hours to decide whether or not to attempt to break into the archives. If the hull they needed wasn’t inside, then he risked his life for nothing.

And on top of that, he had to worry about leaving Nicole.

Iolite lowered her voice. “Emery’s role does not require accessing the archives. If she delves too many times without an obvious reason… I can’t ask her.”

“She knows what’s at stake.”

“Alexandrite, she has a family.”

A low gong sounded, ending their conference.

Everyone respectfully roared the family name. “Ironstone! Ironstone! Ironstone!”

The trio of deadly sister dragons floated onto the stage.

The oldest, Crocoite, flounced to the right. She was a large, substantial female with glistening red teeth and sharp scales.

The youngest, Charoite, floated to the left. In comparison, she was a wisp, slender and frail, a beauty who’d faded to white.

The house matriarch floated from the recesses of the stage and took the center.

Chrysotile.

She wore off-white and grayish white to match the bands of her colors, and she was as tall as Charoite and as broad as Crocoite.
