“I have a favor to ask,” Logan said, “we found the body of the leader of these men in the woods and David would like him buried…”
“Ay, my men kin handle that,” Angus said, then looking at Zane, added, “Was it ye who killed him after ye pulled him off me?”
“No,” answered Zane. “I think the wound I inflicted would’ve killed him eventually, but someone ripped out his throat before David and I found him.”
Nodding, Angus said, “Ye saved my life when ye attacked him.”
Grinning, Zane said, “No, Colton did, I just got you there in time for him to do it.”
Slapping Zane on the back, Angus said, “Tis nae how I see it, bit I’ll let it go fur now. Bit anytime ye need somethin’, ye come tae me.”
“Okay, how about breakfast? After all that fighting, I’m starved,” Zane said.
David shoved an elbow into his mate’s side. “Hey what about me? I’m hungry too.”
Roaring with laughter, Angus said, “C’mon, everybody, let’s see how many o' ye kin eat a full Scots Wolf breakfast.” After giving his men orders not to kill the prisoners, Angus led everyone back to his house, excited that his king would be seated at his table.
Chapter 30
After a humongous breakfast of eggs, back bacon, link sausage, toast, baked beans, tea and tattie scones, Ian, Colton and Angus excused themselves, leaving Zane and David, Dakota and Slate, and Logan and Kieran at the table. Calling Jackson, Logan told him the prisoners had been flown out and asked if a complaint had been filed. Once his twin confirmed that it had, he hung up, promising to call later. Logan then turned to Zane. “Are you returning to the hotel now that David is out of danger?”
“Yup.” Zane grinned. “But my mate isn’t out of danger, yet.”
“Shit, don’t tell me there are more men looking for him?”
“Nope…well, yes, not men but a woman and I need help.”
“This woman, is she in Scotland? Should I call Groose to warn him about her?” asked Logan.
“No need because she’s in Italy, as far as we know, right, David?” Zane asked, turning to his mate for confirmation.
“Yes, I’m sure she’s still at the Convent of the Sisters of the Four Gods,” David answered.
“A nun is after David?” Logan asked, confused at what he’d heard.
“No, bro, not a nun…a High Priestess. Look, it’s a long story so can it wait till we get back to the hotel?” asked Zane.
“Sure, butwewon’t be leaving here until tonight,” replied Logan.
“Why not sooner?” asked David.
“Because my dragon needs the cover of darkness to fly so humans are not calling the authorities to report a UFO,” answered Logan.
Giggling, Kieran said, “Can you picture an airline pilot trying to explain seeing a dragon flying with us on its back? I bet his company would think he’d gone round the bend.”
David’s jaw dropped and his eyes opened wide when he realized he’d be aboard the dragon with the rest of them when Logan flew them back to the hotel. “I didn’t know Logan was a dragon, I thought he was a wolf. Can you really sit on a dragon? How do you keep from falling off?”
“My mate is a wolf shifter but the Fates gave him the gift of shapeshifting so he could help me.” Kieran grinned.
Looking at Zane, David said, “You didn’t tell me that.”
“Righto. I guess I was sidetracked because all I could think of was claiming you,” Zane laughed, his hands finding David’s ticklish spots. “But I promise I’ll tell you about everyone’s gifts when we get back to the hotel. Okay? And by the way, to answer your question, I’ll be holding you so you won’t fall off.”
David nodded, giving his mate a shy smile before he asked, “So we’ll be riding his dragon tonight?”
Glancing at his brother who nodded, Zane said, “If you want to, or we can just bop back.”
“Oh, no! I’d love to ride a dragon! My mother read me books about dragons and I always dreamed of meeting one!” exclaimed David, his excitement mounting.
