The Fire Monster

Naomi stretched out her naked toes, wiggling them against the silky softness of her sheets. She opened her eyes to find Makani lying beside her in bed, his gold eyes watching over her. His scent folded around her, that comforting aroma of sweet, hot spices burning with life and magic. He smelled of forest fires and primal threats, of forbidden secrets and scaled armor. He smelled of dragon—and all the wondrous things that came with it.

“Hi,” she said, smiling.

“How are you feeling?”

“Rested.”

“I should hope so. You slept the whole day.”

Naomi glanced out the window. The sun was setting, its rays painting splashes of red across the indigo and orange sky.

“That’s ominous,” she said, noting the red splashes. They looked like spilled blood.

“Such things only hold power in the spirit realm, where the environment and the people are so interconnected by magic,” he replied, his face completely serene. “Here on earth, storm clouds mean only that it will likely rain. And a red sky occurs because the sun is close to the horizon.”

“I hope you’re right.”

He wrapped his arm around her, turning her, pulling her in closer. The hard wall of his chest pressed against her back like a shield. “I won’t let anything happen to you, Naomi.” His breath whispered against her ear.

“Have we found any signs of Firestorm or Darksire?”

“No, but they have too much magic to stay hidden for long. We will find them,” he said, silk and steel interwoven in his voice. “And then we will end this.”

“Firestorm was scared. Back at the castle.”

He grunted. “As she should be. She has a lot to answer for.”

She’d betrayed him. She’d hunted down and killed the other Dragon Born. And she’d finally topped it all off by making a deal with the demon princes of hell, thereby selling out the earth and every single person who lived here. But that’s not what Naomi had meant.

“I mean, she was afraid of the baby,” Naomi said. “But why would she fear an unborn child?”

“Because he is powerful.”

“He?”

“Yes.”

Naomi’s heart did a little flop. She didn’t question Makani’s assertion that he knew the baby was a boy. He could sense magic—and all the delightful intricacies of it. He’d once told her that the magic of male and female supernaturals smelled different.

“His magic is different than anything else I have ever felt,” Makani said. “Dragon magic and spirit magic intertwined—a beautiful, seamless blend unlike anything I have ever felt before.”

As he spoke, he stroked her belly, a belly that hadn’t even popped yet. She sure didn’t look pregnant, but all this talk made it real. Frighteningly real.

“Our child is a Spirit Warrior?” she asked.

“Yes.”

“And Dragon Born?”

“Yes.”

Being Dragon Born had some serious consequences associated with it. It wasn’t as dangerous as it had once been; the Magic Council no longer considered them abominations to be killed on sight. But being Dragon Born made things complicated. It meant their child was not one child, but two—two souls in one body. They would have to separate them after birth, performing a spell to give each baby his own body.
