Chapter Nine
A loud boom instantly woke Daniel. He sat upright and scanned the room. No one was there, but he heard some sort of roaring fire not that far away.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. Had someone attacked?
Jenny blinked up sleepily at him and he said, âGet dressed, Jenny, and be ready to run.â
His words banished the sleepiness from her gaze. âWhat?â
He jumped out of bed. âJust do as I say. There was an explosion and I need to see where. But if it was caused by the League, weâll need to flee. Quickly.â
Heâd threaded dominance into his voice, and it worked on her. She nodded. âOkay. Shout if you need me. But Daniel? Promise me youâll be careful.â
It was strange having someone care so much about himâhis friends and family did, of course, but it felt different coming from Jennyâand he nodded. âI will. Now, hurry and be ready.â
He hated leaving her behind, and especially alone. But there was only one window in the bedroom and heâd had bars installed on it years ago. It was the only way he could sleep if out in the open without the protection of his clan, like with this cabin.
It should help keep Jenny safe now, too.
His dragon spoke up. I donât hear anyone inside the house. But the fire is close.
Yes, and I wonder how the hell they managed it in the waist-high snow.
When hate is involved, anything could happen.
His dragon fell silent, knowing Daniel needed to concentrate without distractions. A quick sweep of the house revealed nothing out of the ordinary. Since heâd tugged on some clothes while doing the sweep, he quickly donned his boots and coat and peeked out the window near the door.
The light was faint, the sun already setting at this time of year. However, in the distance, an orange glow signaled some kind of huge inferno.
No doubt his clan had heard it, but he dialed his boss on the satellite phone. The head Protector, Axel, picked up on the first ring. âIs it near you?â
âYes, itâs not far from here. Iâm on my way to investigate. But Iâm going to need help transporting the human here with me to safety.â
Since heâd shared helping her in a report earlier, his boss didnât ask questions. Instead, Axel grunted. âThe snow is too deep to send any kind of vehicle. Not even the snowmobiles will work in the darkness, at least not with a fragile human. Weâll have to retrieve her by dragonwing. Are you sure we can trust her?â
Because if a human reported to ADDA about them carrying her to their clan, it could land his clan in a hell of a lot of trouble.
But he knew Jenny wouldnât betray him like that. âYes, we can. Although she might need someone there to calm her on the ride. It canât be me because I know this area the best and need to be on hand.â
âIâll send Solana.â
Solana was his bossâs mate. She was only half-human, but that still might help when it came to explaining things to Jenny.
