Killian

The next morning, Killian fumed in his bedroom as he re-read the urgent letter from his father. Overnight, an eagle emissary to the dragons had gone missing. As with all the other missing dignitaries, only traces of the shifter’s blood had been left behind. No leads. No evidence.

Seething over the news, Killian had half a mind to confront Draven about what the prince knew on the matter, but he resisted the impulse. That sex-obsessed dragon probably didn’t pay attention in his father’s war room meetings.

He groaned in frustration, torn between his own interests and that of his people. He had wanted to speak privately with Tina from the moment he had seen her in her bedroom window, but he had resisted out of propriety. He had to wait his turn, after all. It was the respectful thing to do. Today was his first chance to spend any real time with her, and the letter’s timing couldn’t have been worse.

The grandfather clock in the corner chimed ten, and a jolt of surprise shook him as he realized he was late to meet with Tina.

Damn it all.

Preoccupied with the news, he hurried to her room and knocked on the door, mind still racing with worry and doubts.

She answered seconds later wearing a stunning white gown with golden detail along the sleeves and bodice. The colors reminded him of home, of the elegant spires of his father’s palace. Her dark curls cascaded over her shoulders, and she smiled warmly as he caught her eye.

For a moment, Killian’s mind went blank. The worry and doubt faded as he drank her in, happily distracted by the beautiful woman before him. Deep in his core, his eagle preened. It fluffed its feathers, scratching at him with its beak as it urged him to get closer. It wanted to observe her, to study and understand her better.

How odd. His eagle was usually calm and obedient, not one to make itself known outside of a life-or-death situation. But around Tina, it was awake and lively.

“You look stunning,” Killian said to the goddess.

Tina’s smile broadened. “Thank you, Killian. Have you eaten breakfast yet? One of the priestesses just brought me food enough for four people. Not sure what she thinks I’m doing in here to need that much bacon.”

“Hey, you can never have enough bacon. It’s basically meat candy.”

She chuckled and gestured into the room. “Help yourself.”

He crossed the threshold, surprised and honored that she would let him into her bedroom. She led him into one of the back chambers and sat at a table with a large platter set on its surface, the tray brimming with at least three pounds of bacon, ham, sausage, toast, and eggs. Piles of grapes and oranges lay on a second platter nearby.

“That is an obscene amount of food,” he admitted.

“Told you.” She bit into a strip of bacon.

He joined her and helped himself, confident he couldn’t possibly eat enough to so much as make a dent in the pile.

Even though her stunning
