Distrust

Nazneen had stepped forward to put herself in front of Ares but he moved her back and placed himself at the front instead, following the woman with his whole body as she moved around. 

"Telling you who I am won't help you know who I am, but you can tell what I am." 

Ares looked her up and down. 

"What do you plan to do with the dragon?" She asked, nodding toward Nazneen. She spoke as if Nazneen couldn't understand their language. 

"What do you expect me to do?" He asked in turn. 

She sighed as if she could see something in him she didn't like. "Will you mate with her?" 

Nazneen's heart skipped. 

"Yes." He replied without hesitance. 

Nazneen almost dropped her jaw. This man could lie without batting an eye! If she didn't know better, she would believe him. 

But why was he lying? Were they in danger she didn't know about?
