Page 105 of Meet Your Maker: Part One

He’s inconsolable, and truthfully, I’m not much better.

I frown as real empathy stirs—mostly for his dragon, but a little for him too.

Sunday

What do you want from me, Silas?

Silas

The only way I can make this up to youis by helping you bring down Roxana.

I know where she is. And I have something that can help you.

My grip on Colton’s phone tightens.

Sunday

If that’s true, why didn’t you help us before?

Silas

I didn’t know. She lied about you.

Sunday

Well, that I believe.

Silas

Will you please consider meeting with me? We can meet in public.

I exhale sharply, my fingers flying across the screen.

Sunday

That isn’t enough. I’m not meeting you.

Silas

Please. The only way I can do this is face-to-face. Alone.

Sunday

Why alone?

Silas

My dragon is feral right now. If he senses one of your other mates, I won’t be able to control him.

I hesitate, chewing on my lip.

Sunday

What about Colton?

Silas

No, please. Just you. I’ll meet you anywhere, but I need to see you without anyone else.
