Realizing what his smoke could do, Segomo tossed it at Blaze. My prince’s fire dwindled as the dark force pinned him to the ceiling.
Rai and Iokul threw all they had at Segomo, but to no avail. The smoke was a living evil, its power binding everyone, and it was coming to me.
“Daisy, run!” my mates screamed at me.
There wasn’t enough time, and under no circumstances would I leave my mates behind.
The green dragon stalked toward me with measured steps, his crimson gaze staring down at me, marking me as his prey.
Fear became a tangible thing inside me, and I believed Segomo smelled it, because he cocked his head and grinned.
Elvey had warned me.“You won’t be any safer after you leave this shelter. Neither will those who accompany you.”
I was scarcely home, yet my enemy had already sent me this welcome gift. But I was a predator, more so than this thing. When I’d had the Fury curse upon me, I’d been the biggest, meanest predator on Pandemonium. Now that I was both dragon and Fae, the predator in me was no less savage.
I wouldn’t let this foul thing hurt my mates and warriors again.
White Light was my most lethal weapon. I’d once deployed it to expel the pure evil when I’d danced with Elvey in the great hall. And when I’d mated with all my three mates, the Light had awoken in me.
I hadn’t mastered it or practiced enough since I’d spent a lot of time in bed with my mates.
It wasn’t that I’d tried to overcompensate for nine centuries of forced celibacy. But who could resist the three hottest, insanely gorgeous dragon men, who all offered all sorts of mind-blowing pleasure in every imaginable way?
All three of them desired me with an intensity that matched my own and devoted themselves to me.
I’d tried to summon my White Light while my mates had battled Segomo, but it had merely fizzled and died out. It occurred to me that my power needed stimulation. The Light had come to me when I’d danced with Elvey and it’d surfaced again when my mates and I roared out our wild orgasms.
Rai roared, lightning exuding out of him and breaking through the binding of the dark smoke.
He wouldn’t let that thing get to me, his mate. In a flash, he stood between Segomo and me. “Get out of here, Daisy,” he ordered.
I stepped up to him and placed my hand on his arm. “Strike me with your lightning. Pour it into me.”
He glared at me, his eyes flashing. “I won’t hurt you. I need you to get the hell out now! Please.” That last word was a plea.
“Trust me,” I urged, my eyes starting to glow as they fixed on Segomo with determination. “Just trust me, Rai.”
The smoke-possessed dragon had marked me as his prey. He thought I had nowhere to run.
Rai sent a trail of lightning into me, and I felt his energy buzz within me.
“More!” I demanded.
As soon as he saw his lightning boosted me instead of hurting me, he poured all he had into me. I threw my hands into the air. A burst of White Light and lightning surged out of me and slammed into Segomo, just as his combined fire and foul smoke dashed toward me.
As soon as my White Light ate away the smoke and neutralized the fire, all the warriors were freed from the binding.
Rai’s bolts of lightning impaled Segomo’s scales, and Blaze wasted no time sending his fire toward the green dragon and burned him to a charred heap, which unfortunately dropped onto the throne.
Quintrell lifted the dead dragon and hurled him off of the throne. He gave me a meaningful glance, as if wanting me to appreciate him keeping the throne clean for me.
Jarrod shifted to his human form and stared at Segomo, sorrow clouding his face. “He was a good dragon. The smoke corrupted him.”
“I don’t give a fuck if he was a saint,” Blaze said, still in rage. “He tried to hurt my mate. Anyone who wants to harm a hair on my mate’s head deserves worse than being burned to charred meat. The fucker died too easily.”
I’d have preferred to spare him and interrogate him. Segomo had been a mere tool. My true enemy had known that I’d returned, but I still didn’t know who my enemy was. I had no proof that it was the dark Fae Queen.
I’d come back to a broken kingdom where danger lurked everywhere, and my grandfather had gone mad and missing, and burned his own home.
