“It doesn’t feel any different.”
“It’s not a normal scar,” he tells me. “It’s magical. It’s a mating scar.”
“What do you think of it?”
“It’s pretty,” he says thoughtfully, running his fingers over it. “Just like you, Peggy.”
He kisses me.
“Just like you.”
Chapter Fourteen
Cameron
We go to Wilson’s office at dawn. He’s already up and waiting, along with the dragons who typically handle security and safety for the clan. If I had to guess, I’d say he didn’t sleep at all last night.
“You need coffee?” I ask, but he shakes his head.
“Scouts returned an hour ago,” he says. “They’ve confirmed spotting a woman at the Lucky location we know about who looks like your sister. I’m sorry, Cameron. We’re going to do everything we can to get her out of there.”
“I know,” I pat his shoulder. “You’ve got this, Wilson. I trust you.”
He looks at me with su
rprise on his face. So maybe I haven’t always been the best companion for a dragon shifter clan leader. I’ll admit it. There have been plenty of times when I’ve questioned him and not very many where I’ve been kind or understanding.
It’s time for that to change.
This isn’t all about me.
This entire battle isn’t all about me.
It’s not even about Ellie and David.
Nope.
This is about saving our kind. This is about saving the dragons. This is about the fact that a little human took a dragon’s oath in order to save us and we owe it to her to do our part.
“What’s the plan?” I ask Wilson, and that seems to propel him into action.
“Ellie didn’t give us much to go on. I don’t know if the Lucky scientists have found us or if they just think they have. I wish she’d given Peggy more information on that point, but whatever.” He shakes his head, and I know what he’s thinking.
He’s hoping Ellie is okay.
He’s hoping it wasn’t the dying message of woman with nothing left.
If the scout was right and she is at the facility with David, though, there’s hope.
I have to believe there’s hope.
“At this point, I think it’s time for us to make a move. We didn’t launch this huge rescue operation to save David because we wanted more intel. We wanted to do things as safely as possible. That was a mistake. We should have gone in, guns roaring, and showed them who we are. Today’s our day to do that.”
“So we’re going to attack the facility.”
“I’ve reached out to Thunderstorm and they know of a Lucky facility close to their clan home. They’re going to attack it at midnight: the same time we’ll be attacking the facility we know about.”
“Smart,” I tell him. Then I turn to Peggy. “Thunderstorm Clan is one of our greatest allies.”
