Chapter 7

Rita blocked out Warrian’s instructions to leave. She hadn’t been a big fan of his plan in the first place, but after he’d been shot, there was no way she was going to leave him. Who knew what Ultrima had in store for him. Clearly he had little hope of defending himself against Trima clan now. Warrian was going to need her help.

He’d told her if he died, then she would too, so it made sense for her to stay to protect him. It wasn’t that she was worried about him personally, but she had a vested interest in making sure he stayed alive. That was why her heart pounded and her mouth felt dry when she thought of how close he’d come to dying. The bullet had damaged him just as if he were human, and if it had hit somewhere vital, then he’d be dead. And so would she.

As she stared down at Warrian’s pale scowling face, she wondered how she’d let herself get mixed up in this. This was so much more intense than she’d ever expected. She’d just been looking for a story, but what she’d found was so much more.

And now she had so much more to lose.

One of the police officers Rita had been talking to spoke up. “We can’t just release a dragon without knowing he’s going to be all right.” And he was eyeing her as he did so. She’d tried to tell him Warrian was being kidnapped. That he wasn’t a Trima dragon at all, but a Rian prince, and they had to help him. But the officer hadn’t been entirely convinced. Apparently her argument had been strong enough to cause some doubt though, particularly after he’d been shot. “We should get him patched up and at least question him on why he tried to run. Why would he run away from his own clan?”

Rita’s heart lifted. Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance they could escape after all. Both of them.

“Your human doctors would be no help to a dragon at all.” The life dragon turned up her nose at the police officers. “In fact, your primitive medicine would hinder his healing.”

Rita could see the police officers hesitating. She couldn’t let this chance slip away. “He’s not one of their clan,” she insisted. “Surely you’ve noticed that they’re all silver? I told you, he’s one of the Rian clan princes. They’re trying to kidnap him, and me. I’m Lisa Evans, a reporter for the Mungaloo Chronicle. You need to rescue us.”

The mention of Warrian’s royalty, and her own credentials, obviously held some sway. The police officers eyed each other with uncertainty. She just needed to push a little harder...

“Both of them are habitual liars.” The life dragon’s voice was dry with a hint of bitterness. “Making up all sorts of stories.” She sounded disgusted. “I mean come on, he looks silver enough to me, doesn’t he?” She waved at Warrian’s grey hair, and Rita’s heart sank. If Warrian had
