The glass fell round us as the remainder of my household dropped to the bottom with me, our dragon wings guaranteeing we hit the ground and bounced up onto each toes. Seth shouted orders, and the opposite males within the room hit us virtually the moment we landed. Nearly.

My wing flicked out as I spun, slamming into my nearest attacker and flinging him away. I grunted as ache erupted from the place Caine had stabbed me. The muscle tissues had been nonetheless therapeutic, and the flight over from the palace hadn’t carried out me any favors.

However ache was nothing for the time being. I may ignore it. My solely focus was Seth.

“Seth!” I roared simply in time to see the cowardly prick duck out of the room.

I stormed after him, however a well-recognized leering face slid between us, blocking my path.

“Hey, Silas,” Mattias spat. “Going someplace?”

“Sure.” I began ahead. “By means of you.”

Mattias laughed and got here at me. I’d anticipated that. Like so many others, he was a brash, smug fighter who thought he may overpower his foes. There was little coaching in his actions. He’d by no means wanted it, not when he traveled with Seth and his pack of goons, who at all times had numbers.

That wasn’t how I fought.

I waited till he’d dedicated to his blow, then I lunged ahead, bending low on the waist. Mattias’ fist sailed harmlessly over my head. A second later, my shoulder, now thrusting up, caught him within the abdomen. I drove via with my legs, and he bent in half over me with a mighty whoof as all of the air in his lungs was pushed out.

My toes left the ground, and as gravity took maintain, I added my very own pressure to it, slamming Mattias down. Tile cracked and chipped as he hit laborious, slamming his head again laborious sufficient to stun him.

“I’ve appeared ahead to this for a very long time,” I growled simply as he blinked his eyes again into focus.

I began to shift in mid-air. My legs grew quickly in measurement, lengthy claws sprouting from my toes. Mattias’ eyes went large as he realized what was about to occur. My wings stopped flapping, and I dropped like a stone.

He rolled, making an attempt to get out of the best way, however my dragon-sized paw landed on his backbone with a bone-crunching crack.

The opposite dragon shifter didn’t transfer.

“Clear!” Vicek shouted as he and the trio of guards who’d include us from the beginning completed the remainder of the room.

Wanting round, I noticed Caleb nursing his shoulder with Shi at his facet. She was splattered in blood, however I didn’t see any wound. It should not be hers, I made a decision. My father was coming behind us, main the remainder of Vicek’s males.

After confirming everybody was okay, I hurried to Chloe’s facet.

“Hello,” I stated as casually as I may. “Sorry I’m late.”

“I’m shocked you got here in any respect,” she stated a bit coldly as I freed her arms. She pulled her arms in entrance of her and massaged her wrists.

“I deserved that,” I stated, not letting the biting tone get to me.

Her expression modified immediately. “Why do you say that? Wait, no, we have to get out of right here.”

“Not till I say one thing,” I stated.

“No, Silas, we—”

“Shh,” I stated, urgent a finger to her lips. She appeared able to explode, however I needed to say it now earlier than it was too late. “Chloe, I’m sorry.”

Her eyes widened. “For what?”

“For not supplying you with an opportunity,” I stated. “To elucidate your self. To present your facet of the actions. I simply jumped to conclusions about you with out considering. And also you deserve higher than that. Even when you’re simply as responsible as they are saying you might be, I ought to have requested you. Which I feel you had been making an attempt to inform me. So, right here it goes. Chloe, what occurred? What did you do?”

She smiled. “I’m so pleased to listen to that. And I’ll inform you the whole lot. I promise. However we’ve to go. Now!”

“Why?” I requested, wanting round. “His males are useless. Seth is on the run. Vicek can hunt him down. We’re high quality.”

“No, we’re not,” Chloe stated, simply as I picked up a faint tremor operating via the ground. “Seth set a lure for you. The remainder of his household is hiding in the home. Ready. They’re going to kill you.”
