CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

After Braedon ordered the humans in the woods to return home, Aarion wasted no time assuring Solan he would return quickly and flying the fire mage out. Melly remembered her first experience with the magic of Dracon and wondered how the fire mage would take it. It had been breathtaking to be submerged in so much magic, and a bitter thing to know that it had once covered all the land. The dragons had taken care of their share of it; the humans and mages had not.

Since the damage to the wagon was superficial, she was still able to sleep under the covering they propped over the back of the wagon. It was not that she felt the cold, or was afraid of the forest. She had spent a good part of her childhood hiding with her family in the far peaks. She felt safer here than in a town, where people could come collect you while you slept. But it was nice to have some time away from the others. They were always solicitous of her comfort, as only a dragon male could be, but occasionally it was relaxing to find the peace of her cocoon—though even in the back of a wagon, behind cover, she could feel Solan’s energy.

He took the fact that she was in his care very seriously. She didn’t blame him for that. She would not want to go up against Eben Kinkaid or Prince Ladon for any reason, especially not if you displeased their mate, and losing her sister would do so on a grand scale. That’s what she thought anyway, until he had made his intentions to mate with her clear.

Melly sighed. She would never get any sleep if she dwelled on this. She could still feel the tingle in her knees from that last kiss, and she needed to get some sleep. Tomorrow they would continue on. They were getting closer to the blood mage with every step, despite all the interruptions. Very soon he would make his move; she felt it. And even if she failed against him, she knew Solan would not. She had a hard time imagining that dragon being beaten by anything.

“He is a most formidable dragon,” she said quietly, and smiled when the wind giggled across her senses.

Melisande opened her eyes and knew from the damp, coppery smell that she was no longer in the forest with the dragons. She shuddered, sitting up in a rush and looking around. This time she was not in the black-walled fortress but, from the look of the walls, a cave. She also looked to be alone. She attempted to call the wind and received only silence. She had truly hoped that the nightmares were over, since she had not had one since the block was removed. Clearly, that was just wishful thinking on her part.

The bed she lay on was draped in red and constituted the room’s only furniture. Standing up, she grimaced at the slick feel of silk as she slid her feet to the floor and stood up.
