Dalton - Chapter 2

Dalton was going to murder Kenton. The fucking bastard. He’d done that on purpose. As he carried the beautiful woman to the gurney, he thought of all the ways he was going to get back at his brother. First, he was going to have him ticketed every single time he came into town. Then she looked up at him.

“I’ve fallen.” He told her she’d fainted. “No, I don’t faint. I’m made of stronger stuff than a woman that swoons.”

Dalton couldn’t help it, he laughed. And, of course, that pissed her off more. Helping her to sit up afforded him the opportunity to touch her, and he did. When she started to stand as well, he halted her with his hand at her chest.

“You should rest a bit first. That was a big...tumble you took just now.” The glare was wonderful, but Dalton was careful not to show her his reaction. “Kenton is in surgery with Gerald. He said all he was going to do was remove the knife, then stitch him up enough that he could regain his strength to shift.”

“He said he was a dragon. Did that guy...Peterson, did he pay Kenton to tell me that? Because I have to tell you, I don’t think it’s the least bit funny.” Dalton asked her what she meant. “A dragon. Kenton, he said that he was a dragon. I don’t think that’s funny.”

“Kenton is a dragon. So am I.” The glare again. “Perhaps it would help me if you just, for a moment, believed me and told me about this Peterson person.”

“I was in my office. I’m not entirely sure how he got it, but he gave me this present. Well, he didn’t, it was from this other guy, Waterson. I was there when his grandson was declared deceased.” Dalton nodded and helped her to the chair. Not that she needed it, but it was just too much fun not to help her enough to piss her off. “Will you please let me go?”

“No, I don’t think so. Waterson…you were telling me about his grandson and a present.” He could tell she was really upset, and as much as he wanted to tell her it wasn’t important, he thought that if she didn’t tell him now, he’d never find out the story. “Did you open the present?”

“No, I didn’t...this little boy had been killed. There was nothing I could have done for him by the time he was brought in. His father—he’s in jail now—had shot him in the head. But Mr. Waterson had somehow.... Peterson said that Waterson had spoken to a dragon. A dragon that the dead child in my emergency room had warned me about a few days before. I’m not making any sense. Let me start again.” And this time, the story that she told him was more coherent, less jumbled around.

“I’m sorry.” She nodded and he lifted her chin up to look into her eyes. “This gift, why haven’t you opened it? I mean, it was for you.
