The flirty words flew out of my mouth before I could stop them. I bit my lips shut. Og’s dragon-slit gaze narrowed, and his grip on my shoulder tightened. I replayed back what I said and winced a second time.
Gifted you dragons.
Now, I sounded like I was in on it.
Just keep opening your pie hole. Your usual eloquence will give them extra motivation to free themselves.
The lights in the room flipped on, making me squint.
“Fecking hell,” Tyson growled. “Why’s Wiggles covered in blood? What are you doing?”
I blinked, trying to get my sight to adjust.
“I’m rescuing our mate,” Og stated. “What are you doing?”
“I came to question her.In private.” Tyson rubbed the back of his neck. “And maybe get her out of here.”
Og slid in front of me and widened his stance. His palms glowed with magic.
I scrambled the rest of the way out of the oubliette and stood. “Neither of you should be doing anything!”
Tyson scowled. “Feck you. I’m no one’s to command.”
“Except your mom,” Og said. “Well, really, it’s your dad, but your mom’s the joke.”
I sighed. “If you have to explain it, it’s not funny, Og.”
Tyson narrowed his eyes, scanning me from head to toe, and took two angry steps closer. “You look like hell, Wiggles. Did Og hurt you?”
“Really?” Og wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me into his side. “That’s your first thought? Not your father’sfire magic? Or the guards who dragged her down here, unconscious?”
Before the two dragons took another step forward, the sound of flapping wings and scale-covered feet approaching made my stomach drop.
“Both of you are under a spell!” I whisper-yelled. “Get out of here before you make it worse.”
Og’s grip on my waist tightened. “No.”
Before I even took a breath, he flipped me over his shoulder, knocking the wind out of me, and stood.
“Sorry,” Og mumbled as he traced the runes on the outside of his legs. A slight glow emanated from his pants.
Piss off the healer, you did.Yoda said in my head.
I can’t breathe. Maybe I should focus on the basics instead of making jokes.
“Feck—“ Tyson started, but I lost the rest of what he was going to say as the lights above us burst, leaving the room in total darkness. Og sprinted forward. My wheezing face bounced just above his butt.
There are worse places to be.
“Why weren’t their guards on her?” A distant voice yelled over the sound of the incoming dragons. I didn’t hear the answer as Og virtually flew through the halls. His legs moved so fast and smoothly my bouncing stopped. He took us up a set of stairs. We blew past two women mopping a hall who grabbed their tails to keep them from flapping in the wind tunnel the turbo-charged dragon left in his wake.
I held on for dear life as we dashed. Even with his dragon speed, Tyson couldn’t keep up with Og’s magic. We came to a sudden stop. Og swiftly bent down, placing me firmly on the ground. Blood rushed out of my head and back to the rest of my body, leaving me light-headed.
Og cracked open a familiar door.
“This is Lux’s room,” I pointed out stupidly.
Og traced the runes on his legs again, his chest pumping with his breaths. “I can’t take you to my room. Even if earth supports you, it will break the peace of the EM. Lux’s room’s a tower with only one exit at the top, and this one. I can keep you safe here.”
