Caitlyn didn’t know what to think of the man standing in front of her. His words echoed in her head, sounded so sad and final that she actually hurt for him, even as she told herself she couldn’t afford to worry about him. This was the man who had made love to her for hours and then disappeared for decades.

The one who she’d caught snooping around Dragonstar land three times now.

But he was also the one who had just sent shivers down her spine when he’d kissed her hand. The one who made her dragon purr with almost no effort at all.

So what did she do now? she wondered. On the one hand, every ounce of common sense she had screamed at her to take him to Dylan. He was poking around Dragonstar land, was difficult to get anything out of and knew that dragons existed. It stood to reason that he was an enemy, especially the way he continued to dodge her questions instead of giving her a straight answer.

But her dragon didn’t see him as an enemy, and her instincts weren’t warning her of any danger. In fact, nearly every part of her—especially her beast—was drawn to him, fascinated by him. And the look on his face, the sadness in his voice when he’d said, “I’m no one,” touched something deep inside of her. Especially considering her dragon couldn’t sense the lie. He really believed what he was saying, and that bothered her more than she wanted to acknowledge.

A human stranger, but that didn’t mean anything—especially considering that he knew dragons existed. For all she knew, the Wyvernmoons could have hired him to come out here and find out as much as he could about the state of the clan, figuring the Dragonstars would leave him alone because he was human.

With Phoebe pregnant and the Council on the edge, she couldn’t afford to make a mistake in how she dealt with him. But she didn’t know how to deal with him––that was the problem. Her dragon had never responded to another male like this and it freaked her out, worried her. Split her concentration when she most needed to be focused.

“Look,” she finally said, as the silence between them grew heavy with things unsaid. “I can’t just leave you here, unattended. Things are difficult right now and you look an awful lot like a threat.”

He started to speak, and she held up a hand to hold him off. “Let me finish. At the same time, I’m not sensing anything malicious from you. So, you have two choices. You can get the hell out of here, now, or I can call in my fellow sentries. And this time you won’t get away with just disappearing the way you did last time.”

“Are you sure about that?” His grin was back, more
