Chapter Eight

Star couldn’t believe Grey was actually standing in her house or that she was telling him off, but both were definitely happening and there was absolutely no going back. When she’d seen him marching across her front yard, it had taken everything in her not to run out the back door. Just the thought of having to deal with him on top of everything she’d just had dumped at her feet seemed like too much to bear.

But then she’d remembered hearing his high-handed attitude and testosterone-laden ego when he was talking to Drago and she’d gotten furious all over again. Who the hell did he think he was trying to tell her what she could and couldn’t do? This was her life and she’d damn well live it the way she wanted to.

Then he took the wind right out of her sails by saying something she never could have seen coming.

“The dragon Thanatos wants to possess is my brother, Garrett, who I haven’t seen in eighty years.”

“Your…brother?” Star couldn’t believe her ears. “You have got to be kidding me. It was your brother all those years ago, too, wasn’t it?” She stepped back and sat down, propping her elbows on her knees and letting her head fall forward. “And it was your Clan that was killed a week before my Pack, right?”

“Yes,” came Grey’s whispered reply from just in front of her.

“Did he kill them, too? Were they looking for your brother then?”

I didn’t smell sulfur, but I was in the Cave of the Ancients receiving my Blessing from our Ancestors when the attack happened.” He paused, and she could feel him trying to control the rage still burning deep inside even after all the years that had passed. “I found Garrett at the bottom of the mountain, hiding in one of the small caves. He was only thirteen at the time.”

Oh my Goddess,” she shot to her feet and closed the distance between them, laying her hands on Grey’s and waiting until he looked up. “You mean he’s grown up being a prisoner of this Thanatos asshole?”

“No, the night your Pack died Thanatos was thrown back into Hell and only in the last few years was summoned back to Earth.” He sighed. “But Garrett’s been held by some nasty sons of bitches from the look of him. I can’t even imagine what he’s been through, the torture he’s endured.”

Grey pulled his hands from hers and turned away, pacing towards the picture window. Opening the curtain, he stared out at the rising sun as she stared at him. It was hard, even with what was going on all around them, not to appreciate his amazing physique.

The Goddess and the Universe had known what they were doing when they put her mate together. He was six-foot-six-inches of nothing less than perfection. From his wide
