CHAPTER FIFTEEN

The sound that tore out of Lily twisted something deep inside Dallas. Adrian’s words hung in the air as if they’d crystallized and become solid, the tension in the room thickening until they all nearly choked on it.

Lily jumped up suddenly. “I have something for you.” She hesitated when she was directly in front of Dallas, her eyes pleading with his. “Don’t do anything, Dallas, please.”

His gut tightened at what she thought he was capable of. “I’m not going to kill him while you’re in the other room, Lil.” He had no problem gutting the bastard and strangling him with his own spine if needed. But he didn’t know if his reaction was because he despised the asshole with every fiber of his being or because he was dangerous.

Ryuu. Yeah. Emotions fucking sucked balls.

When she sighed in relief and bolted toward his bedroom, he turned his temper on Adrian and the others. “What the hell is going on?” he asked on a snarl. “What the hell is wrong with you, telling us to kill you in front of your sister? For fuck’s sake, she’s finally putting the pieces back together and learning to trust her instincts, then you go and pull this shit. I ought to put you down for that.”

Cage held his gaze. “Then do it now. I won’t fight you. I’m the strongest Hunter alive, and who knows what I’m capable of—what I’ve already done—that I don’t remember.”

Lily came back in and sat down next to Adrian. She handed him the damaged baby book, then placed her hand on his cheek and pulled his attention toward her. “Seren named her Ava.”

His hands shook as he ran his fingers over the tiny face on the cover. “She’s so beautiful,” he murmured.

Dallas didn’t miss the confusion that was flickering over Cage’s face. Shit. Dallas would have bet his left arm the Hunter had no idea who the baby belonged to.

Lily curled up next to him. She needed him so much, and even he’d known how much the Hunter had been looking forward to being a father. It didn’t do a damn thing for the terror clawing at his chest, though, or calm his raging need to put an entire continent between her and her head-fucked brother.

“She’s a sweet baby,” she said softly. “With her Momma’s fierce temper.”

One corner of Cage’s mouth tilted upward. Dallas glanced at the others and jerked his head toward the kitchen. He still had every intention of putting Cage down, if only for breaking Lily and Seren’s hearts, but whatever demon had struck him when he’d woken up, he seemed to have beaten it back for the moment. He’d give Lily this, then he’d kill him.

The problem was that, even as the other dragons walked into the kitchen, Dallas couldn’t make himself follow. Lily needed her brother and Dallas got that, but he needed her, too. And Cage was a threat to her well-being he hadn’t expected and wouldn’t dismiss.

He didn’t want to be jealous of a dead guy, but Dallas was acutely aware that he was running out of time with her.
