Her dragon was on the verge of losing it. The smoke was thick in the back of her throat and she had to swallow constantly to keep it from drifting from her nostrils.

Be still. You must calm yourself.

Her dragon hissed at her. If they touch my mate, I will kill them.

Bren being killed wasn’t their only concern – she shared none of the confidence that Sika did that she wouldn’t be banished – but her dragon didn’t seem to care about that. All it cared about was keeping Bren safe.

She studied him as he rubbed a hand through his hair. He looked tired and unwell and… scared to death.

She couldn’t blame him. If she was in his shoes, she’d be terrified too. Hell, she was terrified. Her dragon might not care if they were banished, but the idea of being kicked out of her clan and knowing that Bren was dead… she shuddered. She’d go mad in less than an hour, she was sure of it.

Because you love him, her dragon said. He is our mate and you love him. Tell him!

Enough. Now is not the time.

Her dragon believed it was the perfect time. It tried to push forward, tried to take control so it could – Jesus Christ – confess its love to Bren. Her heart knocking against her ribs, sweat trickling down her back, Kaida used every ounce of her inner strength to keep her dragon from taking control.

Let me free!

No, stop it! The human is already freaked out. If you tell him you love him, it will scare him even more. The humans do not take mates as quickly as we do.

Her dragon pouted but retreated with a soft hiss. The hiss turned to a purr when Bren touched her arm. “Kaida?”

“I’m fine,” she said.

She took a deep breath, determined to put on a cheerful face for the human. It was all her fault he was in this mess, and while she might be seventy percent positive that they were both about to die, she wouldn’t show that to him.

“It went well with the elders,” she repeated. “Everything will be fine.”

The look of disbelief on his face suggested she was doing a shit job of hiding her own fears. She made herself smile at him. “It’s the truth, Bren. You spoke well and -”

Anger flooded through her when she caught sight of the dragoness standing so closely behind her mate. She could smell Vorian’s interest in Bren and… was that the tiniest bit of lust?

Her dragon roared forward and she didn’t have a hope in hell of stopping it this time. She grabbed Bren’s arm, pulling him closer to her before glaring at Vorian. The dark-haired dragoness’s hand was still outstretched, and Kaida bared her fangs at her.

“Dare to touch him again and I will burn you where you stand, Vorian.” Her dragon growled out the threat, each word punctuating the sudden silence that had descended over the cabin.

Vorian’s fear washed over her and Kaida’s dragon snarled her victory.
