He was crazy… homicidal. And I had allowed myself to be alone with him. How could I have been so stupid? However, his rant didn’t end there.
“Several days ago, that sniveling coward you call a King came to me and asked,” he spat the word out as if it turned his stomach, “for a truce between our two clans. Apparently, he found love and wished to mate with her. But he didn’t want to raise his family in a world with the constant threat of all-out war.”
My heart warmed despite my fear. Tohr loved me? I thought giddily. He wanted peace to keep me and any children we may have safe.
-Oh, Tohr-. I thought to him, even though I knew he wouldn’t hear my thoughts. -Oh, Tohr my sweet Draygon king. I love you, too. I will find a way back to you. -
For a moment, I could have sworn that I felt the touch of Tohr’s mind brush against mine. But, as quickly as it was there, it was gone.
