I stepped as much as the bars of the cell and set my arms over his.

His gaze ran over my face, slowly.

Taking me in like I used to be essentially the most stunning factor he’d ever seen.

“Hey, Auggie.” My voice was smooth.

His eyes closed.

The expression on his face was each ache and aid. Like I used to be making the whole lot tougher and simpler for him on the identical time.

“You don’t look so good,” I mentioned.

It was an understatement.

A large understatement.

A harsh chuckle escaped him. “You continue to look excellent.”

My chest ached. “I overheard Jasper and Eli speaking. You’re going to die in right here in case you keep.”

He closed his eyes, however didn’t disagree with me. Not when he seemed like he did.

“Can’t you isolate him or one thing?” I requested Jasper. “Go away him on this room alone till his time runs out?”

“Shifters don’t do effectively alone. Most immortal beings don’t. We lose our minds.” Jas didn’t beat across the bush, which I each appreciated and hated on the identical time.

A second of silence handed.

An thought occurred to me. An insane thought. One I couldn’t communicate aloud till I’d had time to actually, really take into account it.

“Can you set me in there with him for a couple of minutes and provides us some area?” I lastly requested.

The 4 dragons who’d accompanied me checked out one another.

August didn’t say a phrase.

His eyes had been nonetheless closed. His physique was nonetheless tense.

Jasper lastly mentioned, “We are able to’t offer you lengthy.”

However when he grabbed the metallic door, it opened at his contact. It should’ve been dragon magic, as a result of it responded instantly, and there was no seen lock.

Did that imply August might open the door himself if he wished to?

Or that I might open it, since I had his magic in my veins after his chunk?

August remained precisely the place he was as I let go of his arms and slipped into the cell.

After the door closed behind me, the dragons walked away.

I waited till I couldn’t hear their footsteps anymore.

Then, I quietly crossed the small cell and wrapped my arms round August’s center frivolously, cautious to not bump any of his accidents.

He remained nonetheless, his physique trembling barely.

“You may hug me, you recognize,” I whispered.
