Chapter Eleven

Ashrac

JEWEL’S AND PEPPER’S laughter is not helping the situation. They’ve gone from gasping for air to hugging each other and falling to the floor just like the woman back at my castle. I don’t see how death by brittlemortis and being green causes this reaction. They should display dignified horror and loads of sympathy.

Jewel looks up at me from the floor, wiping her eyes, and still chuckling. “You… you’ve been had,” she lets loose again. Pepper is doing no better.

“What the hell?” I hear from behind me. “You’re giving frogs a bad name, Ashrac. What the hell happened?”

I glance toward the door where Tahr stands with his hands braced on his hips. “I’m dying of brittlemortis and your wife and daughter seem to find it hysterical. I will never find the solution for our electricity problem now. They’ll bury me in a cold dark grave and all my knowledge will go down with me.”

Even Tahr looks surprised when the women’s laughter takes them back to the floor. I shrug at the absurdity of dying while green. I see no humor.

“He’s…” Jewel points at me unable to speak.

Pepper, her mother, picks up where Jewel left off, “He kidnapped an eagle shifter and she’s turned him green,” Pepper says with laughter between every other word.

“What?” I yell. There’s no way. She wouldn’t. She couldn’t.

This sends Jewel into spasms. “She’s… she’s an eagle shifter and she turned you green.”

“No, it’s brittlemortis,” I yell in complete frustration. I look at Tahr and even he’s smiling now.

“You kidnapped an eagle shifter?”

“She’s not a—” I remember the not-so-nice glob of shit that landed on my shoulder. “Damn.” I’m too shocked right now to feel anger. Pepper and Jewel dry their eyes and get up from the floor.

“She’s perfect for you, Ashrac,” Pepper says with a soft smile that’s more of what I was expecting when I came here.

“She’s going back to her realm. She turned me green.”

Pepper bites her lip and controls another bout of laughter. “You kidnapped her. Don’t you think she’s paid you back for such a dastardly deed?”

“I’m a dragon. We kidnap our brides and she knew it was coming. I went through a paranormal dating agency in the earth realm. They took all my information and requirements. The woman knew the rules when she agreed to go on a date with me.”

“A date?” Jewel demands and gives me no time to respond. “A date and kidnapping are two very different things. If she agreed to kidnapping, she disagrees now or why else would she ask me to take her through the realm crossing or,” she looks me up and down, “change you into the Jolly Green Giant?” Jewel blows out frustrated air. “She’s an eagle shifter and she’s been showing her displeasure in the only way she can. You and your thick skull just aren’t listening.”

I lift my arm and examine it and then my gaze travels to my shoulder where a certain smelly dropping landed earlier. It all becomes crystal clear.
