Throughout the day, Olivia stayed by my side, showing me around the outlandish castle—Viperus Keep, that belonged to Kieran—the dragon whose mist was poisonous I learned. Each of the dragon descendant’s had unique abilities. Poison, tranquility, flames, and ice. Such an eclectic quartet.

Then there was Olivia. She might be actually more interesting than her four boyfriends, however, she was as skilled at dodging my questions as I was. Neither of us gave much information away about our abilities, but like me, I got the impression there was more than met the eye when it came to the queen. I recognized her power. It was formidable. She might look sweet and innocent, but I sensed she had the will and heart of a dragon.

The queen was never without a shadow. In fact, the only time we were alone was those few minutes in my room. It was Jase who hung back now, keeping an eye on me when Olivia led me through the castle.

Vines climbed up every stone pillar we passed along the corridors, on our way into the dining hall where Issik, Zade, and Kieran were all seated at a long table. Large chandeliers hung from the ceiling directly above their heads, casting a soft glow over their features. The three of them looked up as Olivia, Jase, and I approached.

“What took you so long?” Issik frowned, his eyes darting from Olivia to me and back to her.

She rolled her eyes, taking a seat to the right of Kieran, who was at the head of the table. “It won’t kill you to wait a few minutes. Besides, it’s not my fault this place is so big.”

Issik gave her a slow blink.

Bowls of tomato and basil soup waited at each place setting, steaming hot. “This looks delicious,” I commented, my stomach rumbling. It had been days since I had a proper meal. Platters of cheese, meats, breads, fruit, and so much more filled the table from one end to the other—a feast fit for a king. Correction. Kings.

Jase pulled out his chair and sat down. “Wait until you taste it.”

He was right. The food was divine, and I was freaking famished. Also, I needed all the energy my body could store for what I had to do tonight—I’d been counting down the hours. I just had to get through this meal and then I was gone.

I mostly stuffed my face and listened to the chatter among the group. Olivia was also silent, spending the meal pushing the food around on her plate. She seemed off from the lively girl she had been before dinner.

And I wasn’t the only one who noticed.

“Olivia,” Zade spoke the queen’s name softly.

“Hmm,” she replied, her eyes sort of spacy as she rested her head on her hand.

“Are you feeling alright, little gem?” Zade crooned, his voice smooth and silky.

My heart melted at the nickname, beginning to understand what Olivia saw in each of them and why she hadn’t been able to choose just one. Except for Issik.
