“It’s technically known as Foremost Mountain. The dragons dwell within the prime half, and the jail is within the backside. We corrected individuals at first, however realized that in the event that they suppose the place we dwell is separate from the jail, each are safer,” Eli mentioned. “And Mate Mountain is catchier.”

Huh.

That was type of sensible.

“Come on.” He waved me into a gap within the wall of the mountain, and I adopted him inside.

The inside wasn’t lit. There have been no lightbulbs, however they weren’t vital with a dragon’s sight. My imaginative and prescient at midnight was effective, however the shifters’ was in all probability a lot better.

There was no ornamental furnishings, vegetation, or hanging artwork as we moved via massive hallway after massive hallway.

The house was chilly and impersonal, however we saved strolling.

“I’m taking you to one of many gathering rooms,” Eli mentioned. “Jasper will have already got the thunder collectively.”

That was good.

I didn’t wish to wait. There was no level in ready.

However, it was nonetheless going to be slightly overwhelming to stroll right into a room filled with dragon shifters who in all probability hated me simply due to my connection to August.

I’d take care of it, although.

We walked for a couple of extra minutes earlier than we lastly stepped into a big room. It had a number of openings within the partitions, like home windows, with a large desk within the center and gigantic chairs surrounding it.

A lot of the gigantic chairs had been occupied by even-more-gigantic dragon shifters.

And people bastards appeared offended.

Eli deserted me within the doorway, crossing the room and taking a seat subsequent to Jasper. The fellows actually did virtually appear like twins.

I pressured a small smile onto my face and lifted a hand. “Hello.”

Silence all however echoed via the room.

None of them appeared angrier after my greeting, at the least.

Socializing had by no means been one in every of my robust fits. There was a motive I’d gotten my diploma in computer systems, not psychology. Or advertising and marketing. Or something that required working carefully with individuals.

“My title is Elodie. As you understand, August and I survived warmth with out sealing our bond.” My phrases got here out awkwardly, however I went on anyway. “I do know you set him in jail, and I do know he’s going to die in case you go away him there. I overheard Eli and Jasper speaking about it. And August and I aren’t collectively—we aren’t mates—however I can’t go away him to die. I have to see him.”

Extra silence resonated.

A few of their anger shifted to annoyance.

It was time to deliver out the massive weapons.

Or the most important weapons I had, at the least.

I had no concept if it will work, however I needed to strive anyway.

“In case you let me into the jail to see him, I’ll let you know how he acquired me via warmth with out sealing the bond,” I mentioned.

All of a sudden, the anger and irritation was gone.

They sat up straighter.

I had their full consideration.
