Chapter 10: Flynn

The strategy session went on into the night. Ronan spent an hour just going over every member of his family, all the dragons he could remember from his hometown, and their potential strengths and weaknesses as enemies. Malachi took careful and copious notes.

Lila listened attentively, asking the occasional question, and Flynn was struck by how much she seemed like a part of the town, one of them, even though she’d only been here for a couple of weeks.

That’s my mate, he caught himself thinking as he looked at her fondly. He clamped down on the thought and looked away.

“Tell me more about your cousin,” he said to Ronan, focusing on the matter at hand. His feelings weren’t important right now; the safety of the town was.

Eventually, they’d picked Ronan’s brain clean. Reid had his own set of notes to take to the mayor, and Malachi exchanged a look with Flynn: they’d be meeting at the sheriff’s office later to go over it all again. Flynn nodded.

Lila was rubbing her eyes. “Are we sleeping here?”

We. She meant her and Flynn, it was clear—even though if she stayed here at Lachlan’s house, there was no reason Flynn shouldn’t just go home to sleep, since Lachlan and their mother would be here for protection.

Home. That was an odd thought. His tiny, empty house didn’t seem like home at all anymore.

“You’ve had a rough day,” Lachlan was saying. “No need to add to it by sleeping on a couch. Why don’t you and Flynn go back to your house and come get the kids in the morning?”

Lila hesitated. Then she said, “How I about I take Grant, at least. Sophia will be happier staying over with Aidan, but I don’t want to make you take my baby overnight.”

Flynn was expecting Lachlan to protest, but instead he just smiled. “Sure. We’re happy to take Sophia.”

Lila’s shoulders relaxed a little, and Flynn understood: she didn’t want to be without her baby overnight.

He put a hand on her shoulder. “Let’s go up and get him, then.”

The words were out of his mouth before he thought about it, and he realized belatedly that he’d done the same thing that Lila had when she said, Are we sleeping here? He’d treated the two of them as though they were a unit.

Like they were married.

Or mates.

This isn’t fair to her, he told himself furiously as he went up the stairs after Lila. He couldn’t keep this a secret from her and then still act as though it were a done deal. She wouldn’t have any idea what was going on.

Even though she seemed to be very solidly on the same page, for someone who had no idea what was going on.

Lila peeked into Cam and Lachlan’s room, and then shook her head and strode on in. Grant was standing up in the crib, his face just screwing up to cry; when he saw Lila, he reached out desperately.

“Are you stuck in a strange place, baby?” she asked him, lifting him into her arms.
