ELODIE

Once we obtained again to the dwelling space of the mountain, I didn’t ask them to steer me again to my room. They took me to what appeared like a small cafeteria, or a big kitchen and eating space.

Eli grimaced when he noticed me.

“I’ll seize your meals. Sit down and relaxation,” Jasper mentioned, striding off towards the place one other dragon was already filling a plate.

I crossed the room and took the seat subsequent to Eli.

“How dangerous is he?” Eli requested.

“Dangerous.” I ran a hand by way of just a few of my waves.

There was dried blood in them, too.

“He didn’t agree to go away?”

“No. He gained’t abandon you guys. He says you’re household.”

Eli’s brow wrinkled. “And also you’re not?”

“I don’t know. He nonetheless thinks he can survive down there for six months.”

Eli scoffed. “Cocky moron.”

I couldn’t precisely argue within the dragon’s protection. Not towards the moron half, a minimum of. And he was undoubtedly cocky. That a lot was a reality.

“What are mated dragon pairs like?” I requested him, altering the topic.

It was a query I wanted answered earlier than I might even contemplate my horrible plan.

“Annoyingly shut. The psychological bond type of ensures that. They’re not often separated, however after they’re aside, they’ll talk repeatedly. It drives you loopy in a manner you may’t assist however like.”

“Does the thunder all the time come first?” I requested.

“No. Most mated dragons spend their lives within the human world, and solely come again to Foremost Mountain once we actually need them. It’s been many years since we’ve known as a mated dragon in. The one feminine right here the entire time is the one mated to the chief of the thunder, if he’s paired off.”

Wow.

“So if I mated with August in any case of that is over…”

“You’d in all probability return to that cabin and dwell fortunately ever after.”

My throat swelled once more. “Are you positive he’d be prepared to go away? He gained’t even abandon the jail to avoid wasting his life.”

“Leaving now would put him in exile,” Jasper mentioned, taking the seat subsequent to mine. He set a plate down in entrance of me, holding on to his too. “If something ever occurred to you and he wanted the thunder’s help, custom would require us to not reply him. He could be alone. If he makes it by way of his six months, he’ll regain his standing with us, and be free to dwell his life with you with out dropping us.”

“You’re his brothers, however you’d stroll away if he selected to not preserve struggling in jail?” My voice was incredulous.

“It’s not us he’d lose, it’s everybody else.” Jasper gestured across the room, which was stuffed with dragons consuming and speaking. Lots of them had been us whereas they did one or each of these issues.

I couldn’t declare to know fully, nevertheless it did make extra sense to me after their clarification.

And after every little thing I’d seen of August, had he ever put anybody else’s security and well-being above mine?

No.
