Chapter 5

Ondrej’s rage overtook him and although he’d already used his Alpha fire, he summoned it again.

Whoever this dragon was meant him and Krysanthe harm.

Gods help him, because no one else would be able to.

Only the rage died in his gut when he saw who it was who hunted them—and there was no mistake, this dragon wasn’t coming to offer aid. He was hunting.

It was Dezo.

He’d already had to put down one of his men, he didn’t want to do this, but Ondrej always knew the day would come when Dezo would challenge him for Alpha status. Dezo wasn’t meant to be a soldier, but he’d been a rogue all alone when Ondrej had found him.

He just hadn’t thought it would be like this.

Ondrej had made the mistake of thinking it would be an honorable fight. A challenge issued brother to brother.

But the curl to Dezo’s lips, his baring of teeth and the smoke coming from his nostrils did not note any trace of brotherhood between them.

They clashed midair, Dezo biting and snapping, and breathing Alpha fire.

The scales on his chest burned, but Ondrej found he still couldn’t summon his own Alpha fire. His grief and his love for Dezo was too strong.

Until he thought of Krysanthe.

And what Dezo must intend for her.

Then he realized she was in bigger trouble than either of them imagined. Granger’s behavior around Voshkie—his inability to control his Change. Ondrej’s own inability to get his body to comply. Mating Fever.

His dragon had recognized Krysanthe as his mate.

It had been a slow build until she’d been put in immediate danger.

Now, the fire built and raged and he breathed the volcanic spray all over his enemy.

Dezo howled in pain, but continued to slash and tear at him, trying to clamp his teeth around Ondrej’s throat. If he managed the death roll, no amount of fire would free him. He had to do it first or Krysanthe would be dead.

He managed to clamp his own teeth around Dezo’s throat and rolled, taking them down to the clearing where they crashed into the ground hard—hard enough that it would register as a low level earthquake to anyone in the near vicinity.

They thrashed together in the small crater their impact had made and has he tore open the other dragon’s throat and tasted his blood, it was dark and sour.

Just like the ghouls had smelled to him.

Fuck, had he been infected?

He immediately released Dezo and the other dragon scrambled to his feet and squared his stance, his wings splayed wide. The ground sizzled where his blood dripped down and two ghouls dug themselves up out of the ground.

“What happened to you, my brother?”

“I am not your brother.” Dezo shot another bolt of fire at him.

“I don’t want to fight you. Tell me who did this to you and we’ll destroy them together.”

“You are the only one being destroyed today, and your pretty little nymph, when I find her.” Dezo advanced. “And I will find her. I can smell her gold.”

Gold stalagmites erupted from the earth and impaled the two ghouls.
