want his mate to feel it, no matter what they did to him.
From that point on, anything could have happened, except, out of the blue, a loud explosion
shook the building. All of the windows broke, and Sage hissed as a rain of glass fell over him and his
wounds. Still, he considered himself lucky for the distraction. The vampires turned away from him
and Camden as the sound of battle erupted outside.  What in the world is going on? Fallon asked.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sage crawled to his feet. He was still a soldier, no matter
how many bullets he had in him, and he might never get this chance again. He had to act now.
It was unwise to shift with the projectiles still inside his body, but Sage needed the dragon right
now. Taking a deep breath, he clung to his connection to Camden and summoned his beast.
The dragon answered, rushing out of him, eager to deal with the men who d dared to lay a finger
on Camden. A different time, Sage would have fucked himself over through this process, but now, he
found that Camden s blood inside him was working its own brand of magic. Sage s body expelled the
bullets, leaving only healing wounds behind.
The shift took longer than Sage would have liked, and it left him a little dazed. When he
recovered, though, he was in dragon form and far more able to handle the situation. In spite of
everything Camden had been through, the naga had shifted as well, his lower half now snake-like.
Sage could honestly never get tired of seeing Camden like that. While that form had looked monstrous
on draechen, Camden made it so very beautiful. He had a deadly grace that Sage could have never
pulled off.
But now was not the time to admire his mate. With another roar, Sage blew an ice blast at the
vampires still in the room. Fallon swore, taking refuge behind a fallen table. He kept shooting his gun,
and given his size, Sage was a sitting duck& or a sitting dragon. He shielded himself with his wing
as he swept his claws over another of Fallon s cronies. Meanwhile, Camden had already slipped past
the rest of Fallon s companions, using the huge distraction Sage represented to get behind Fallon.
With a swipe of Camden s powerful tail, the vampire dropped his gun. He turned toward Camden
with an angry hiss and pounced him, claws extended. Camden didn t fall, his tail giving him a balance
he might not have had in his legged form. He dodged, slithering aside with striking speed.
The remaining vampires had guns, too, and kept trying to fight Sage. But in this form, it was
actually easier to handle the bullets. They did penetrate his hide, but Sage had a higher tolerance for
pain now, a more than acceptable trade-off for his poor evasion abilities. He could also take more
than a vampire at a time, so they didn t get the chance to shoot him all that much in the first place.
Naturally, if not for whoever was attacking the coven, the vampires would have received
countless reinforcements by now. This meant that the battle below was likely quite difficult for the
vamps. Perhaps they were losing it. Sage certainly hoped so, because his instincts felt something
familiar about the force that had come to his aid.
Obviously understanding the seriousness of the situation, Fallon waved at the vampires who
remained conscious.  Leave the dragon, he shouted.  Grab the naga. We need to go.
Retreating away from Sage, the vampires pounced toward Camden. Sage roared, casting another
spell and managing to hit two more vamps. The rest crowded Camden against the wall, and while the
naga put up a good fight, they managed to restrain him. Sage wanted to use his magic on them, but if he
wasn t careful, he d hit his mate in the process.
 There s a good dragon, Fallon said, grabbing Camden and already slipping out the door, now
holding a gun to Camden s temple. It seemed that he had recovered it during the scuffle.  We
wouldn t want anything to happen to your mate.
Sage knew Fallon had no real interest in harming Camden. The vampire needed Camden alive to
achieve his plans, whatever they were. However, it was entirely possible that Fallon would
temporarily forgo the importance of his ploy, just so that he could escape. His survival instinct and
the knowledge that he needed to get through this alive so that he could actually use the blood he d
already taken from Camden could push him into shooting the naga.
Fortunately, Sage and Camden were no longer alone in this. Just as Fallon stepped out of the
room, a roar sounded to his right. Sage felt the energy wave before it even struck. All of the other
vampires fell like flies as their energy was drained out of their bodies. However, Fallon remained
standing and turned calmly toward the source of the spell.
Taking advantage of this chance, Sage shifted back into his human form. He knew without having
to look who was the opponent Fallon faced. And Sage had never thought he d see the day, but it
seemed that his general had at last met someone unaffected by his powers. He didn t want to think
about Fallon being immune to Karein s abilities, although he could guess the reason. Overlords only
knew how the vampires had used Camden s blood, but it had clearly boosted Fallon s powers more
than Sage had expected.
For all his calm demeanor, Fallon looked surprised at this result, too.  You can t touch me,
Dog-Catcher. Fallon actually laughed.  Your power is useless.
As the vampire spoke, Sage slowly started to make his way toward Camden and Fallon. This
situation was dangerous. Sage would have tried to hit Fallon with magic, but they risked Fallon s
finger jerking on the trigger and killing Camden.
 Don t even think about it, Fallon said, shooting another glance toward Sage.  I will kill him if
I have to. There are plenty of other naga princes where he came from.
 That s not exactly true, Camden said.  My blood is stronger than that of my siblings, because I
didn t have a twin.
That information didn t seem to surprise Fallon, but neither did it distract him. He started to
back away, and Sage followed slowly, lifting his hands to show that he was harmless.  Just let him
go, he pleaded.  Don t hurt him.
With the corner of his eye, Sage caught sight of Karein, now standing in the hallway behind him, [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
