Chapter 16

~ HUNTER ~

I step out into the snow, a swirling white wall

enveloping me. Bowing my head, I plow my way

through and back onto the main roads, heading

home. Or what suffices for home.

I want a drink.

The smell of fae and dragon stops me in my

tracks before I even see her. Her blue scales sparkle

under the streetlight where she stands. The snow

landing on her melts as soon as it hits, and the

ground around her feet is a puddle.

Definitely dragon and not some strange lizard

fae as lizards are cold-blooded and dragons are not.

“What do you want?” I snarl out.

“You recently stole a bracelet from the sorcerer

Alistrad.”

I shrug.

“You retrieved it for the wrong person. It was

stolen from me, and you will get it back for me.”

“What will you pay me for the job?” I ask. She’s

a dragon, which means she obeys the Usurper.

Why hasn’t she attacked and taken me back to him

already?

“I do not follow the False Emperor. I care not

about your feud with him. You will do the job for

me, and you will do it for free.”

“I don’t think so.” I back away, but she makes no

move to follow, her face the serene mask most fae

wear. Five steps back, I stop. Why hasn’t she

attacked? She knows something. Maybe I can get

her to spill a secret. “You won’t help the girl, but

you expect me to help you.”

“She is not your concern.” She holds her bare

hands in front of her mouth as if warming them

with her breath. Which doesn’t make sense. She

should be warm enough.

“Are you the one controlling her? Using your

dragon telepathy to guide her? What is it you want

from her?”

“I am not controlling the child, just observing

the situation.” No emotion on her placid blue face.

“I am the Archivist. My job is to observe.”

With a growl, I leap at her, but she brushes off

my attack with one rake of her claws. Fire burns

through my veins, heat searing through me.

“She’s just a human child,” I grind out from my

position curled up on the ground. My muscles

cramp, locking into place. I can’t move as every

nerve fires, every muscle contracts, throughout my

body.

Dragon claws aren’t supposed to do this.

“My telepathy is more acute than a normal

dragon’s. Saliva on my claws is now worming its

way through your body, giving me complete control

over you.”

“Kill me and get it over with, bitch.”

“I still have a use for you. The time has not come

for you to obey my will, but soon you will come for

my aid.”

“Never.”

She laughs, the sound more like grinding gears

than joy. I catch a glimpse of her sharp teeth

against the blue lips.

From my fetal position, I curl my lip, showing

her my own sharp teeth. I’ll give as good as I get,

bitch. Just try me.

Once I can stand again.

“Ryne Ashverdi—”

My insides turn to ice as she uses my real name.

“There is no need for violence here. We are on

the same side. You will see that soon.” She

shimmers and disappears. Leaving me curled in a

ball of pain in the snow.

One thing is for sure, I will never work for her.

But there is something I can do.
