Chapter 12

Brett was going to do this if it killed him. Which, considering the way he felt, it might. Not only was he nauseous, maybe from the pain medication, but he felt woozy and like he could just pass out at any moment. He and Freya were riding a horse together, while she held onto him, trying to keep him on the horse. He hoped he could make it to the gates of the royal dragon castle before he fell off. Likewise, he was praying she wouldn't shift into a raven all of a sudden. They needed to keep that secret. If anyone suspected she was cursed by her own queen, they might realize she wouldn't be on the queen's side in this. And if she needed to make a hasty escape, she would be better able to do so as a raven.

Brett wished Ena could have been with him, but she and the rest of the dragons were keeping out of sight of the archers on the wall walk. They were positioned in the woods near the castle as he and Freya made their approach. He kept expecting men to surround them at any moment. He felt eyes upon them from all around the dark woods and heard the breeze catching the oak leaves, swishing them in a fluttery dance. Overhead, the canopy of the woods kept all the dim light out.

"Good."

"How are you holding up?" Freya asked, her arms tight around him as the horse cantered toward the castle.

"I won't have any trouble feigning I'm wounded," he said. "The only thing I worry about is that they will wonder how come I'm here on my own, well, with you, but not with any forces. I'm certain they'll wonder why I'm a new phantom fae just walking into the castle without someone to confirm I'm supposed to be here."

"That's all you worry about? What are you going to do if they attempt to kill you?"

"Protect myself, and you, in a way they won't expect."

"As a dragon."

Prince Grotto had to know that some of the dragon shifters had returned to reclaim their castles. He might have even had word that they had destroyed wagons coming to supply the troops with food, medical supplies and anything else they might need to prolong the ongoing battles. Fires and
