Kartog clearly meant she’d found both Camber and Brogan today and sent them off to hide.

“Well done, Kartog,” Ninti said. “I have also been given the bodily cell I need to work on, so we have both been busy.”

“Was it found on an artifact on Danus?” Kartog asked.

“Yes. What about your vampire, Cardo?”

“He failed, and the Drazani dealt with him.”

Ninti pretended to be disappointed. “Get the captain of the guard to prepare a report to Davor.”

“I shall do it immediately, my Goddess,” Kartog said.

“Get the guard to bring you to our ship at Danus.”

“Of course.”

Kartog ended the communication.

They got as much as they could over to each other. The good thing was, Kartog was coming to her. She always felt stronger with Kartog nearby.

Chapter Nineteen

Brogan stretched out her limbs and realized she had shifted back to skin. Camber. She sat up quickly and saw Camber dozing and holding her hand. “Camber?”

Her head sprang up. “Brogan, you’re back with me.” Camber stood up and leaned over Brogan to give her a deep kiss. “I thought I lost you. You should never have shielded me like that.”

“I will always protect you like that. You mean too much to me not to,” Brogan said.

“Do I?”

“Knock, knock? It’s Margot. Can I come in?”

“Yes.”

A bright, strong looking woman with red hair and braids entered the room. “You are awake, Brogan.”

“Yeah I seem to have everything working,” Brogan replied.

“Brogan, this is Margot. She and her husband run this cell of the rebellion,” Camber said.

“Thanks for taking care of Camber for us,” Margot said.

It wasn’t meant, but Brogan didn’t like the sound of taking care of Camber for us. She’d protected Camber for Camber, then for herself, then for the rebellion.

“You’re welcome.”

Margot stayed by the door, which was strange. “I wonder if an old friend could say hello?”

“Is this the time?” Camber asked.

“Since you are going to be up and about, it’s probably best we get it over with. Come in,” Margot said.

Camber gasped and Brogan sped over to the door and held Ziggy up against the wall by the neck. Brogan was still naked, but she didn’t seem to care.

“It can’t be,” Camber gasped.

“You broke her heart and betrayed us,” Brogan roared.
