Chapter 512

With the immediate annoyances taken care of, Cain gathered up Cyrene in his arms and returned to the library. He gently set her down once he landed, then transformed back into a human before heading to the comfortable chairs. 

"I don't want to put pressure on you when the eggs are forming, so you can do what you like, or curl up in my lap and be a book rest." Cain teased her, but Cyrene thought that wasn't a bad plan. 

That way she could read what he was reading, and might even gain a useful new skill if he was reading something she could understand.

She didn't know that the book was in the Ancient runic language, which wouldn't automatically translate for her, but his body heat was the best medicine, in her estimation, so there was no reason for her to be elsewhere. 

When Cain picked his book back up from the table he placed it on to deal with the so-called Warlord, he found a new bookmark tucked into the pages he was reading.
