The cashier watched the dragon disappear, then stared at the door after he was gone.

"Excuse me," I said, wincing as I pushed to my feet. "You wouldn't happen to have a bottle of Dubliner 20 in stock, eh? I prefer my whiskeys to be old enough to fuck."

He whirled toward me. "GET OUT!" he screamed, voice a noticeable degree more confident now that the dragon was gone. I raised my hands slowly, one of which was still too numb to go above my shoulder.

"Mate, I may have one hell of a concussion but I seem to remember him getting the jump on me. I'm the victim here."

"You destroyed half the store!" he gestured to the bottles broken and scattered on the ground, and the aisle that was collapsed.

"Again, I was just minding my own business..."

"The cops are on their way," the cashier said with his chin in the air. "Feel free to stick around and explain to them how a fighter from Boris's illegal den is the innocent victim here. I bet they'll be real sympathetic."

Bloody hell. It wouldn't do for them to connect the dots that the dragon and I were both underground bare-knuckle boxers.

"All I wanted was a fucken drink," I muttered as I took a wide arc around the shotgun-holding kid and back out into the street.

A crowd of preppy Harvard guys had gathered outside and pointed when I came out, so I turned in the other direction and limped down the street. Now that the adrenaline was wearing off all the pain my brain had been avoiding came back with a vengeance: the bruised knuckles of my right hand, the throbbing pain in my temple, the hollow ache in my gut that still tinged each breath with fresh pain. My vision was still a little blurry--which couldn't have been a good sign--but the longer I walked the more that started to fade.

The dragon had said a lot of things, and most of it didn't make sense. But one thing that did ring true: the totem.

It wasn't the word I'd used for it, but the moment the word was out of his mouth I knew he meant the ruby gryphon carving. That's what he was after, though I had no bloody idea why. Thinking about it, I could almost sense the totem far ahead of me. To the south. That's probably where it was, with Harriet flying out of Atlanta. Or was it my imagination that I could sense it?

But the dragon douche had known. Somehow.

And if he was going after the totem, it meant Harriet was in danger.

Passion flared up in my chest like a bonfire. I realized I was clenching my fist so tight my nails dug into my palms painfully, and it took more than a little willpower to force myself to stop. Harriet and the gryphon totem were in danger.

My mate was in danger.

I had to protect her. And not just because of how I felt about her: because it was my job. My duty.
