“How did you come into you powers?” Gwen asked as she picked up a tomato from the vegetable stand. Ash stilled for a brief moment before replying.

“I’m not sure really. I was kidnapped several years ago by a crazy dragon shifter that I learned later was one of the Sons of War.”

It was Gwen’s turn to still her motions. Turning to the other woman, Gwen studied her. “You mean Garrick?”

Nodding, Ash lowered her voice as if trying to keep Seth, who leaned against the front counter a few feet away flirting with the cashier, from hearing their conversation. “He gave me an injection of something that unlocked my powers.”

“How did you get away?” Gwen tried to keep the suspicion out of her voice. There was something in the way Ash spoke, or maybe it was her tone, that rang Gwen’s internal warning bells. The other woman wasn’t being a hundred percent honest.

Ash picked up a few mangos and added them to the basket. “I killed my guards and the three scouts that were sent after me.”

Gwen jerked her gaze over to meet Ash’s. “Wow. You say that like it was nothing.”

“The descendants he has under him aren’t all there. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just like they are under some kind of trance or their humanity has been wiped from them.”

Again Gwen picked up on a half-truth. Her palms itched to reach out to touch Ash and “persuade” her to tell her everything. No, Gwen had promised to never use her gift for negative or selfish purposes. “What about you? You said guards. Did he keep you locked up?”

Glancing over at Seth, who had moved away from the counter and now sat at a table a few feet away at a small café, Ash whispered, “Garrick kept me on a short leash for his own pleasures.”

Gwen was about to ask another question, but Ash touched her arm and looked into her eyes. At first, fear that Ash had a similar gift flooded her senses, but Gwen didn’t feel any magic or excess power coming from the other woman. Relaxing, Gwen held Ash’s stare as she whispered, “You must not speak of my captivity to the dragons. I don’t want them to think I’m working with Garrick.”

Narrowing her eyes, Gwen asked with a little too much protectiveness for the five men who’d saved her and Elle’s life, “Why did you come to their home?”

“I was hoping they’d help me hide for a while, until I can contact my mother.”

There. Gwen had the little tidbit she needed to dig deeper, because she knew Artemis was Ash’s mother. Thea had told them that when Ash first arrived at the house.

Before she had a chance to ask her next question, Ash grabbed her hand and yelled, “Seth, heads up.” She pulled Gwen down the street, then started to run. Gwen stumbled a few steps before falling into a run with Ash. Her heat hammered in her ears.

Dark magic coated her senses in thick waves.
