Leonidas had showered off the pool water, but his hair was still wet.

He used magic to dry it because he couldn’t stand still in the bathroom any longer, not when Cinaed would arrive with Rosalyn at his lair any moment. Leonidas paced the receiving room with its wide couches and woven rugs and cushioned chairs… and tried not to picture every position and location where he had made love to his mate. His mind was cataloging them as if they were already in the past—as though he had only moments left with her—but he couldn’t help the heavy dread that encased his heart right next to the well-nigh unbearable anticipation of her arrival.

He refused to believe this was it. The end.

No.

He lapped the room again, but he was about to crawl out of his skin with the wait.

Finally, a knock came at the door. He dashed to open it, but it was only Leksander and Lucian. “Aargh!” His inarticulate frustration nearly came out as dragonfire. Instead, he just stalked away from the door, hands tugging at his hair and nearly pulling it out.

Then he stopped suddenly and whirled around. “Is something wrong? I thought she was coming—”

Lucian had already caught up to him. “Everything’s fine. Cinaed’s bringing her. She’ll be here in a moment. The witches were, I don’t know, trying some kind of magic to expel the demon.”

Leonidas’s eyes went wide. “And?” he demanded.

“And it didn’t work,” Leksander said, striding past the two of them to the center of the receiving room. “Cinaed said the place was scorched with dragonfire. He’s calming her down before she gets here, but Leonidas…” The worry in his eyes was like a blade scraping across an open wound.

“I’m sure she’s in control,” Leonidas said, although he had no reason to believe that… except for his fervent belief she had to be. He had to believe he hadn’t already lost her to the demon. Plus, he was working full-time not to despair. He’d given into that darkness for a short time, sitting at the bottom of the pool and cursing his life. But Rosalyn deserved better from him, whatever time he had left to give her. So he refused to give up hope, determined to try to heal her with all three dragon princes from the House of Smoke. It had to work. What good was it to have fae powers if he couldn’t save his mate and child? Which reminded him… “Did you bring the Summer Queen’s gift?” he asked Lucian.

His brother pulled the small bronze dragon from a pocket in his loose, old-fashioned pants and handed it to Leonidas. “I don’t know how much help that’s going to be. And it’s risky, just because you never know with the fae.”

Leonidas nodded. It was a last resort. He slipped it into his own pocket.

Then another knock at the door had him tripping over his own feet in his haste to get there. This time, when he magically threw it open, Cinaed was there, standing behind Rosalyn.
