“He deserved a horrible death.”
“Blake, you turned him to ash.”
“He didn’t feel the pain.” I darted up into the sky and flew back to Tith.
I landed hard, and Jako waited on the steps with King Helmut. Elena’s lights were off and I transformed back into my human form.
“Is the threat sorted?” Helmut asked. I wanted to see Elena as I pulled the robe over my body.
“Thanks, and I’m sorry about—”
“They were idiots. You warned Brenna, and he didn’t listen. Go home, and rest. Let me know if another threat comes.”
I nodded. I would not see her tonight. The robe disappeared fast from my body and I morphed into my dragon again, climbing the air with speed.
Images of Lucian comforting her filled my mind, and I released another ball of pink fire.
Calm down, Blake. He won’t do that to you. He won’t.
Three platesof breakfasts laid in front of me. All the news stations showcased the events that happened last night at the palace.
King Helmut held a press conference, but didn’t mention my name. He just said that there was a threat on the princess’ life and that they eliminated it.
My dragon figure was on camera plenty of times, protecting Elena. They showed how I’d stopped Dimmi and eliminated the threat.
He would get a hearing and would probably lock him up in Beaufort prison with the rest of his dark buddies. It was the strongest prison in Paegeia, built just for dark Dragonians like him.
Tabitha plopped down in front of me. “Busy night, I see.”
“Don’t, please.”
“Does this have anything to do with my brother?”
“Yes, but don’t worry, your brother is smart. He wasn’t anywhere near the mansion or at the palace. Tell him to keep it that way.”
“If I see him, I will.” Silence lingered. “You saw her?”
I shook my head.
“Are they ever going to let you see her?”
I shook my head again.
“You want something to unwind, take your mind off this.”
My gaze flickered to her.
“She doesn’t have to know. I swear, I won’t do that to you.”
“No.” I spoke through gritted teeth.
She nibbled on her lower lip. “When was the last time you had sex?”
I huffed. “Stay away from me, Tabitha. I’m not interested.”
I got up as I just lost my appetite. I hated to admit how amazing her invitation sounded, but I couldn’t do that to Elena. Shit like that had a funny way of biting you in the ass at a later stage.
I would help myself out if things got too much. I slept until four and found Lucian’s bed still empty when I woke up. When was he going to come back?
