Draco

Three days. Sawyer had been missing for three days. Draco had been barely conscious at the end, struggling so hard to get to his mates. Sawyer had called to him, and he’d been unable to answer. His heart shattered at the memory, and he lowered his head to the bed where Eduard lay.

“He is recovering,” Augustus murmured quietly. “You should rest, Draco.”

“I can’t.”

Augustus smiled sadly. “Sawyer will return to you.”

Draco rubbed the empty space in his chest which had been filled with Sawyer for so many years. “I failed him.”

Augustus moved around the bed and grabbed Draco by the shoulders. He forced him to look up. It broke him once more, staring into a face so similar to Eduard’s.

“You didn’t fail him. This is part of the struggle, Dragon. If it was easy, it would have been done centuries ago.”

“He called to me. He was so scared.”

“He will call to you once more.”

Draco turned his attention back to Eduard, staring at his pale face, desperate for some sign that Eduard would return to him. He needed his griffin’s steady presence to get through this. “Gamayun sent you to the mountains. She said you would find something there to help us.”

Augustus made a very inelegant noise, drawing Draco’s attention once more. “I believe she said I would find what I needed. But I believe she was mistaken. Well, possibly. It’s… I did not find anything that would help in our current quest.”

Draco wanted to demand more information but noises from down the hall drew his focus. Something had caused an uproar. Draco darted toward the sounds, already planning to shift and defend his mates, when Asher barreled into him.

“Mikey!”

“What happened?” Draco asked.

“He’s awake.” Asher grabbed Draco and pulled him into a hug. “He’s awake!”

Asher turned and ran back down the hall with Draco following behind. He found Mikey sitting up in bed with his other mate, Quillon curled around him. Asher climbed onto the bed and wrapped both his mates in his arms.

“Draco,” Mikey said softly. His voice was muffled against Quillon’s chest, and he could barely lift his head, but he turned and looked Draco’s way. “He’ll be back soon.”

Draco’s knees wobbled, and he sank down onto the floor beside the bed. “Yeah?”

“I saw him. I was there. In the god realm or whatever it’s called. He’s okay. He’s coming back.”

“When?”

Mikey smiled. “Soon. He promised me he’d give me a whole day to get ravaged by my mates. I’m holding you to that promise, too.”

Asher growled and began nipping at Mikey’s neck.

“Probably want to check in with Doc Jerrick before… you know… ravaging occurs.”

Asher paused and raised his head. “Right.”

“Nooooo,” Mikey protested. “Wrong. I’m fine. Dandy. Really.”

“Can you stand?” Quillon asked.

Mikey glared at him. “I’m sure I can.”

“Did anyone let Nick know?” Draco asked.

“Dammit,” Mikey said. “Put a pause on the ravaging and someone get me a phone.”

Quillon handed his over, and Mikey tried to hold onto it. He was weaker than he realized, though, and couldn’t grip the phone. He glared at Draco as if personally offended by the fact that he was right.
