Chapter Seven

Bram ducked another fist and swept the hunter bastard’s leg with his foot. Once the man was on his back, Bram crouched down, smacked the human male’s head against the ground, and turned toward the next dragon hunter.

While some of the hunters had escaped, Bram and his team were working their way through the rest. None of these low-level hunters had anything resembling the periwinkle and mandrake root concoction used on Quinn several days ago. That told him the use of the mixture wasn’t widespread.

If nothing else, he’d succeeded in that part of his mission.

As he moved to the side to dodge another blow, he punched the human male in the kidney. It was time to finish them. His effectiveness at being a distraction had worn off. If his people hadn’t rescued Evie and the others already, they probably never would.

He signaled his team to shift and take care of the remaining humans. One by one, the five people in his team shifted into a multitude of dragons colors. A few seconds of knocking hunters against the wall with their forelegs and tails, and it was done.

Looking at the five dragons towering over him, Bram instructed, “Sniff out the exits and ensure everyone in the room is unconscious. I’m going to take care of Charlie.”

Trusting his people to do their jobs, he rushed toward the unmoving bulk in the corner. Since the dragon was no longer a threat, the cage door was open. Bram went inside and put a hand on his fallen clan member’s head. He whispered, “I’m sorry we failed you, Charlie. I will look after your mate and child and protect them to the best of my ability.”

The green dragon didn’t move or respond, and Bram’s inner dragon released a mournful croon.

Patting Charlie’s head one more time, he reached into one of the pockets on the vest he wore and pulled out a syringe. He lifted Charlie’s right eyelid and plunged the syringe through the eye to the brain. Once he inserted all of the contents, he pulled out the needle and stepped back.

Even dead and drained of blood, Charlie was only freshly dead. When put directly into a dragon-shifter’s brain, the chemicals in the mixture Dr. Sid gave him should force one last shift back.

He held his breath, hoping it wasn’t too late. As much as he didn’t want to leave her, there was no way they could carry her body in its dragon form back with them.

Another second ticked by and Charlie’s body flashed. She lay on her stomach in human form, pale and motionless.

His throat choked up at the once strong and loyal dragonwoman. Charlie had been one of the first females ever to become a Protector in Clan Stonefire. She had been one of the handful he trusted enough to guard his mate.

Even now, he didn’t blame Charlie for Evie’s capture. Bram’s own pride and cockiness had cost him. No location would ever be secure as long as Simon Bourne was still free.
