She doesn’t need you. Isa sat on her bottom, curling her tail around her paws while flashing a cold smile. She has an army of wyverns.
Are they willing to die for her? he roared, knocking down another tree with his tail. Because I am!
Liar. She let out a low chuckle that I knew made Radnor’s blood boil. If you’re so committed to her, you would’ve been there for her twenty-three years ago!
I coughed as their breath flooded the forest like a dense fog and a thick haze filled my head.
Ash turned a hard stare on Helian, his nose lengthening and fur sprouting on his cheeks. You need to stop them.
They won’t listen to me. He nodded to Shiri and her mates hovering above us. Your sister needs to step in.
I squeezed his arm. She’s trying. Her magic has slowed.
Helian grimaced. I was afraid this would happen.
Radnor paced the forest floor, panting like a wounded animal, his sulfuric breath steaming the air. Stubborn cow! I’m here now!
Troll turds. He didn’t just call her a cow. Radnor clearly had a death wish. I trembled in Ash’s arms. This wasn’t going to end well.
You’re too late! Isa threw up her head, releasing a stream of fire, nearly clipping Drae’s wing.
Ash shifted into a were-beast, hovering over me as embers rained down on us. Helian held out his shield when the wind shifted and blew embers straight toward us. I winced, slapping an ember off Ash’s arm. This was getting ridiculous.
When Radnor stomped up to her, his heavy paw putting out our fire, I’d had enough.
“Stop!” I called, throwing out my hands. “All this fighting is giving me a headache.”
Helian rested a protective hand on my belly. “Your bickering isn’t good for Tari’s health. If you refuse to think of her, then think of our unborn child.”
Isa’s triumphant smile didn’t bode well for any of us. Radnor doesn’t think of unborn children, otherwise, he would’ve never left me alone with our hatchling.
“Silence!” A deep voice cut through the fog like a blade through butter, compelling me to close my mouth and never speak again.
Thank the goddess, Shiri was able to manifest her siren, and elements, her voice was powerful.
Shiri’s mates landed on the ground, depositing my sister between the two dragons.
“Look at you two—grown dragons acting like hatchlings while a demon army threatens to burn down the world.” Hands jutted on her hips, she scowled up at the drakes. “It’s obvious neither of you get along, so you won’t speak to each other the rest of the night. And if you bicker again, I will silence you both for good.” She gave them each a long look. “Understood?”
The dragons nodded their heads like dolls with broken necks.
Shiri folded her arms, grinning triumphantly. “Good.”
Isa snarled, her nostrils flaring and fire in her eyes as she glared down at my sister, promising retribution.
Shiri turned up her chin, showing no fear, staring into Isa’s eyes until the dragoness looked away.
Holy elements!
Shiri scowled at Radnor, jutting a finger toward the darkened forest behind him. “Radnor, go sleep somewhere else.”
Radnor let out a whimper of protest but obeyed my siren sister, slinking off into the forest with his tail between his legs.
Shiri’s shoulders fell as she locked eyes with Isa again. Forgive me, friend, she projected to the dragoness through thought. I understand your anger, but I will not stand by while your fighting threatens to harm my pregnant sister. Then she held up her hands, her siren voice echoing through the trees. “All are released from my spell.”
Isa bore down on Shiri, letting out a roar that blew her hair off her shoulders, and my sister, surprisingly, didn’t flinch. Her mates stood protectively beside her, their wings snapped open as they prepared to guard her with their lives.
Isa spun around, her swinging tail coming close to knocking off our heads as she stomped into the forest like a toddler being sent to time out. Fortunately, she headed in the opposite direction of Radnor. Otherwise, I feared they’d burn down this island if they had another encounter.
