Chapter 15

“No offense, Patsy,” said Ralph, “but nowhere in Broken Heart is safe. Not even the mansion.”

We were wrapped in blankets and sitting on the trunk of Ralph’s car. I was so tired. Ralph was feeling better because a donor had arrived and let him nosh. That’s why he’d been so easily knocked out—he’d been weakened by lack of blood.

I was hungry, too, and I wanted meat. I was ashamed I craved the cooked flesh of an animal, but the desire was there. Steak. Medium-rare. I was salivating at the thought.

Patsy, Gabriel, the scary green-eyed dude, and Lorcan stood in front of us. Other people ran around the area, doing what I didn’t know. Nothing was salvageable here. We’d gone over what had happened a hundred times, but they kept asking questions and picked at parts of our story. I knew they were trying to find something—anything—that would help them prepare for the next attack.

The dragons would be back. Everyone knew it.

“This whole situation has gotten bigger than all of us,” said Patsy. “But you’re right, Ralph. I don’t know where safe is anymore.”

Ralph and I wanted to go back to his house and chill out. I wanted a shower. And I wanted to pretend to be normal for just a little while.

“Are you sure there were two dragons?” asked Patsy. Again.

I stopped short of rolling my eyes.

Ralph nodded. “We think the one who attacked was the same one from the cemetery. Did you ever find anything, Damian?”

Green Eyes shook his head. “We never found a body.”

Ralph sighed. “I think the second dragon is involved with Lia.”

“Great. So she’s hooked up with some bad-ass dragon who wants his sister’s power,” said Patsy. “Let’s hope Ash knows what the hell she’s doing.”

“She’s the only one who can kill him,” said Gabriel. “She’s the Convocation’s number one assassin. And the only one of her kind.”

“And what kind is that?” I asked.

“She’s a soul shifter. She absorbs the souls, and the forms, of the people she . . . er, releases from the bonds of earth,” said Gabriel. “The sooner she catches her dragon, the better for us. She has to take a soul every ninety days, no matter what, or she dies.”

Patsy shuddered. “Believe me, you don’t want to be near her when that shit goes down.”

“I think Libby should go to the hospital,” said Ralph. “He banged her up pretty good.”

“You, too,” I said.

“Dragon or not, you both probably need to be checked out,” said Patsy. “Tell you what—go to the hospital and, if Dr. Merrick gives you the thumbs-up, you can return to Ralph’s house and get some rest. I’ll send some guardians over there, just to be safe.”
