Chapter Six

December 28th

The next day, everyone settled back into life at Dreagan. The night before had been spent with a casual dinner of mainly finger foods while everyone opened the gifts that Con and Rhi had left under their trees. They were small things, but it pleased Con that everybody seemed genuinely pleased with them.

Con found himself spending less and less time in his office. Instead, he walked around the manor and the land, especially in the Dragonwood. Whenever he spotted Rhi, like he did now, he simply stopped and watched her, a smile on his face.

He imagined that a mortal might call this the honeymoon phase of a relationship, and he supposed it was. After all, he’d been without her for so long, it was almost like they were starting over again. Yet they had been through so much that their history set them on a path slightly different than before.

What he knew was that Rhi was happy, which made him happy. As he stood atop the stairs and looked down, he couldn’t take his eyes off her. The way she stopped and talked to everyone, her laughter and smile easy. How she intently listened to whoever wanted to bend her ear at the moment.

“Bloody hell.”

Con frowned and turned his head at the sound of Ulrik’s surprised voice. “What?”

“You’re smiling.”

“That’s usually what we do when we’re happy.”

“Aye. I know. I’m just getting used to seeing it.”

Con’s brows furrowed deeper. “Are you saying I was grumpy?”

There was a loud snort from behind him as Rhys walked up. “Grumpy is the right word.”

“You two can kiss my arse,” Con replied without any heat and returned his attention to his mate.

Rhys elbowed him in the arm. “You can no’ expect us no’ to rib you. The smile hasna vanished since you returned to Dreagan with Rhi. She has softened your edges.”

Con considered that for a moment. “Aye, I think she has.”

“Nay, she’s blunted them,” Ulrik corrected. “The edges are still there, and if anyone dares to come at us, they’ll sharpen once more.”

Con glanced at Ulrik and grinned. “I think it’s safe to say that applies to all Dragon Kings.”

“Aye,” Ulrik and Rhys replied in unison.

As much as Con wanted to push aside unpleasant things, he knew he couldn’t. He drew in a deep breath and slowly released it. “We need to have a meeting.”

“Wasna sure if you wanted to wait until after the celebration,” Rhys said.

Con turned to look at the two Dragon Kings. “I think this is something that should be addressed sooner rather than later.”

“So, this is about the twins?” Ulrik replied.

Con didn’t answer. Instead, he opened up the mental link shared by all dragons and sent out a message to the Kings. “Meet in the mountain for a meeting in thirty minutes.”

Rhys slapped him on the arm as he walked past and then down the stairs.

Ulrik remained, his gold eyes boring into Con. “Do you need me to do anything?”

“Just what you normally do.”

“Everything will work out. It always does.
