CHAPTER TWELVE

Leo sat on the beach as the night wore on. They had plenty of light from the bonfires Xanderanth had lit before going into the big cave to sit with the sea dragon, Lady Shara. Hrardorr was in there, too, sitting slightly apart from the other two dragons, already sleeping. It had been a big day for them all.

Leo and Lizbet had added fuel to the fires, keeping them going from the piles of driftwood he and Xander had gathered earlier. Leo talked silently with Xander, checking on the sea dragon. Xander told him she was resting easily now, warm and secure, though very drained from her ordeal. She seemed to be taking comfort from Xander’s presence, and the young male dragon refused to leave her side.

Leo wondered about that. He and Xander had only been paired for a short time, but Leo had never seen his partner take such an interest in a female dragon.

Of course, the sea dragon was something special. He and Xander had talked about how awesome it would be to actually see a sea dragon. Now, not only had they seen one, but they’d helped her during a crisis, and Xander showed every sign of befriending her. If not more.

It was the more that was worrying. What if Xanderanth wanted the female sea dragon for his mate? How in the world would that work?

Leo wondered if he’d be the first knight in known history to be left behind by his dragon partner. It wasn’t a pleasant thought. And he was probably just making that up anyway. He and Xander were joined on a soul-deep level. Leo had no idea if such a link could be severed by anything other than death, and he didn’t really want to find out. Leo poked the fire he was sitting in front of with a long stick, rearranging the logs, lost in depressing thoughts.

“Shara’s asleep, finally,” Lizbet said, settling onto the long log Leo had reserved to use as a seat until it was needed for fuel. She held her hands out to the fire, rubbing them together as if chilled. “I think she’ll be all right now. She just got a hell of a scare.”

“I’m glad she’s doing better.”

Was he, though? Really? When that innocent female dragon could spell doom for Leo’s partnership with Xander?

Leo shook off the negative thoughts. Of course he was glad that the dragoness was out of danger. It had been uncharitable to even let such thoughts cross his mind. Leo was better than that. He wanted to be better than that.

“How are you holding up?” Lizbet surprised him by asking.

The fey healer had been with the dragoness most of the evening, working alongside Seth to sew up an incredible gash in Shara’s wing. Leo had noticed Lizbet, of course. He’d have to be dead not to notice such a beautiful woman. But he’d assumed she hadn’t given him a second thought. Had he been wrong?

“I’m fine,” Leo said quickly. “Are you warm enough? You could wear my cloak if you’re cold.
