Killian and I walked back to our dorm in silence as I stroked the egg still in my arms. The straps hung loosely around my sides. I wasn’t going to let go of it, so it didn’t matter about reattaching them.

The tension between Killian and I mounted with every step. My mouth opened, then closed when I couldn’t think of anything to say.

My fingers went to my lower lip again.

Thanks for saving my life?

No. That was too cold.

Hey, so, how about that kiss?

No, definitely not.

When we reached our room, I still hadn’t thought of anything to say and my heart jumped into my throat when he put his slammed his hand on the door, but didn’t push it open. His uniform’s sleeve ran up, revealing his blue tattoo spiraling over his arm that had started to turn white, as if all the color was being leeched from it with Killian’s weakened state.

What if he was angry with me? What if I’d embarrassed him?

“I need to say something,” he said, keeping his back to me.

“Finally, somebody is saying something,” I muttered. I lifted my chin as I stared at his back. “Are you going to turn around?”

“No,” he replied, curling his fingers against the door, scratching his nails along the wood as if something inside him caused him pain. Topaz shifted in his sleep over Killian’s neck, releasing a small sound of complaint.

I frowned and stroked my egg out of habit. It remained cold against my touch. “Okay, fine. Whatever. What is it?”

Killian went silent again and I waited, growing more irritated every second that passed by. “I’m torn,” he admitted. “You’re my mate. When you…” He paused, then cleared his throat again. “When you reacted like that to the corruption, it terrified me. I care about you.” He finally turned, his whitewashed eyes sparking with defiance. “That’s by design, isn’t it? I’m programmed to care about you.”

I pursed my lips. We’d been through this. “If you want to break the bond, just say the word.” I was tired of his threats and his resentment.

He glowered at me, his rage building, but I had more important things to worry about than his flip-flopping emotions.

My dragon.

His gaze dropped and the rage seeped out of him. “Come on. Let’s get some rest.” He shoved the door open and stormed inside.

I couldn’t decide if he was furious with me, or himself, or both.

He settled Topaz into the nest by his bed, carefully tucking the wyvern’s tail over his nose before he laid down on his bed—completely clothed.

“So, you’re just going to sleep in your uniform?” I asked. He was reading way too much into our kiss. I’d been half-dead and he was already kind of kissing me. Give a girl a break.

He closed his eyes and ignored me, making a point to tuck his hands behind his head that he wasn’t going anywhere.

Releasing a growl, I stormed out of the room and slammed the door.

“We don’t have to deal with his crap,” I told my egg as I hugged it tightly against my chest.
