The next afternoon, Khalid strode down the corridor that led to his living quarters. They were his rooms when he originally lived here. Already, work was underway to repair the palace and the country. It would take years, but resources, manpower, and hope were powerful driving forces.
Hope, he thought.
His thoughts should have been on his early morning meeting with Adham and his other military advisors. He should have been thinking about the many meetings that would fill the next few weeks as the new government was established and his place as Ruler of Aethon was sealed. There were a million and one things to think about that didnât involve a platinum-blonde woman from another world.
Donât forget her dragon! he reminded himself with a slight shudder.
Khalid shook his head at the thought. After he kissed her last nightâ¦.
I donât care if she has a hundred dragons, trolls, fairies, or other mythical creatures. She is mine.
That knowledge gave him hope. He believed their destinies were written years ago when Wynter first appeared, and their intense chemistry yesterday was yet another sign that they were meant for each other. If Adham hadnât interrupted them, he suspected she would have fully belonged to him.
âYour Highness.â
Khalid groaned when he heard Colonel Giaffar Gindibuh call out to him. He wanted to ignore his friend. He was exhausted and more than a little impatient to see Wynter. Breathing deeply, he slowed his pace, allowing Giaffar to catch up with him.
âWhat is it, Giaf?â he wearily inquired.
Giaffar was the same age as he was. The son of a Boeheim sheikh, they were childhood friends. Giaf had planned and fought beside him every step of the way over the last ten years.
âIs it true? About the girl,â Giaf asked.
âIs it true there is a woman here in the palace, in my quarters, then yes,â he replied in a short tone.
Giaf eyed him with a steady stare that made his cheeks darken. Thanks to the events in his life, romantic relationships had been limited to a few awkward kisses and a lot of wishful thinking. Giaf had a slightly more expansive experience but not by much.
âWho is she? Adham is tightlipped. Some guards have been sayingââ
Khalid stopped and faced his friend with a scowl. âWhat have the guards been saying?â he demanded.
This time it was Giaf who flushed. Giafâs face was tense and his shoulders stiff. Uncertainty flashed through his eyes.
âI saw the marks in the wall and read the report of Inarusâs death. Farid and Mousa swear they saw a⦠dragon. Doctor Baqirâs medical report states Inarus suffered multiple lacerations that went completely through his body, and that his head was ripped off, his skull crushed,â Giaf warily replied.
Khalid stood frozen for a moment before briefly closing his eyes.
âI want all reports of what happened to my uncle contained,â he ordered.
Giaf uttered a low curse and gripped his arm. âAre you telling me what Farid and Mousa reported was true? That there was a dragon⦠and the girl speaks
