“I killed him. Or thought I did.”

“Explain,” Axel said.

Key glanced at her, then sighed and said, “After I ran away, my father sent rogues after me. He thought if they beat me up enough, I’d go running to him. The bastard was delusional. Anyway, I learned to fight and eventually started killing the rogues.”

“Then drawing their deaths and sending the pictures to his father,” Phoenix said. “The stupid bastard didn’t get the message. He sent Key’s uncle to force Key to talk and reveal where he’d hidden the Tear. And when Key killed him, his father came after him.”

Roxy stared at Key’s cold, blank face. His own family. She knew how she felt at her father’s rejection, but she was an adult. Key had been tormented all his life. How could they do that? Her magic swelled in an effort to get to him, to stop his pain.

“Liam?” Axel prodded.

“He was smarter. He figured out that physical pain wasn’t going to get me to tell him where the Tear was. So he went after someone I cared about.”

Her chest hurt. Oh dear Ancestors, he’d said he loved a woman once and that she’d died. “Kieran

” she said softly.

He ignored her. “I tracked him, we fought, and I stabbed him in the heart, cutting out a piece of it when a swarm of rogues showed up. I fought my way through them and got the hell out of there.” He ground his jaw. “I thought he was dead.”

“Blood-born,” Carla said. “It has to have something to do with fertility witch blood. Maybe healing the heart? Regrowing it? Is that possible?”

They all looked at Roxy as if she had the answers. She flushed, her emotions swirling. “I don’t know. Sex magic is supposed to help create pregnancies.” She thought back. “My mom did fertility ceremonies for mortal women wanting to get pregnant, and then for crops and plants

pretty much whatever needed to grow. Sometimes animal breeders used her, too. I never heard of the blood healing a heart.”

“It’s been eleven years,” Key said. “Where would Liam have been all this time?”

“He said it took him a decade to learn about fertility witches and me.” Roxy shivered and strived to stay in control. She had to help, not be weak.

Key put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him. His warmth eased her tight muscles and chased out the deep fear. “We’re just guessing right now.”

“When Roxy wakes the dragon,” Sutton suggested, “maybe she can ask him. That critter obviously likes her.”

Carla said, “Actually I have a theory about that, especially after hearing you tell the story ‘The Dragon’s Lover.’ Roxy, I think you have the soul of the dragon’s lover. In that story, Dyfyr’s lover said:

Until death ripped her away

Vowing to return one day

“You vowed to return to him. He waited, now you’re here, and that’s why you can wake Dyfyr,” Carla said.

“But

” she trailed off. She’d felt the dragon, heard him. Knew him. And since seeing him down in the gym, she felt like a piece of her was missing.
