“And you boys watch out for the Black Dragon's youngling.”

Which one? There were like a million demon dragons, not to mention the Black Dragon’s daughter.

“That kid is both friend and foe. I wish we had figured out a way to get him out and raised right. He'll be just as powerful as his father someday. It will depend on you all and his mate which way it goes.”

In his wildest imagination, there was no way a single one of the demon dragons had the power or the smarts to be a friend, but they were all pretty horrible foes. No fucking way any of them deserved a mate.

Then the First Dragon smacked Ky on the head with a tap of his tail. His brain went off like a 3D movie with the memory of Ciara's story about a man in the forest outside of Jakob's villa when she had escaped. She had sworn there had been a demon dragon fighting off some of the others. Then again, she had said he was in her apartment during their battle and had relinquished Jakob's soul to her.

Ky couldn’t identify his scent, and the other Wyverns couldn’t account for him either. The Wyverns had decided he was some sort of a rogue. He had to be the youngling the First Dragon was warning him about. Being the son of a Black Dragon certainly made him someone to watch out for.

The White Witch popped back into the room and slid underneath the First Dragon's wing. She snuggled into him and closed her eyes.

Ky hadn't thought a supernatural being like the White Witch would need comforting.

The two rested together like that for only a heartbeat before the White Witch recovered and patted the First Dragon's scales.

“We must go. Any longer and my sister will feel our presence. She’s going to be pissed I ruined her spell. Like she isn’t already mad and out for revenge.”

Ky wasn’t ready for them to leave. He still didn't know the Black Dragon's plans and he wasn't completely healed. How was he supposed to get himself and Azynsa out of here?

If only he had a little water.

The White Witch came up to Ky and kissed him on the forehead. “You take care of your mate, Ky. She still thinks she has to hide her true self away for you to love her. Prove her wrong.”

“Yeah, and then for good measure give her a good couple dozen orgasm. Mates like that.”

His brain fizzled, first from the sex advice from the First Dragon, but then in a nice way, like going back to bed on a Sunday morning.

Ky blacked out and when he blinked open his eyes the room was filled with the glowing light from the lava again, but no First Dragon or White Witch.

Shit. At least she had healed him quite a lot. The burns on his body weren’t even tender anymore. He looked down and only a few scars remained. Sweet as.

Ky hadn't exactly had favor on his side today, but it appeared he had the First Dragon and the White Witch on his team.

He yanked at the chains, damn tired of waiting to be rescued.

So far, Match sucked at this game. He should have been here by now if they were in fact in the bottom of the caldera in Africa.

Ky growled out his frustration and jerked as hard as he could against the chains. They popped out easily, as if he had had the strength of his Dragon, and he tumbled to the floor.

In front of him, digging into the porous lava rock, were talons, blue ones.

His talons. He rubbed his gaze along his forearms but saw scales instead of skin.

He took a deep breath and blew out a frigid puff of air.

Fuck yeah.

He had his Dragon back.

He used his Dragon sight to peer into the dark tunnels and find both his enemies and his little mermaid. He didn't see Azynsa anywhere, but the Black Dragon, followed by a shit ton of demon dragons, was headed his way.

“You stupid shits. How fucking hard is it to find one half human woman when I tell you exactly where the fuck she is.” Ooh, the dickhead was mad. Poor baby.

That filled Ky with a little bit of joy. Jada was safe for a little longer.

“You made them too stupid, you old hag.”
