Several of his brothers and Ghleanna, all those ent to track down Rhiannon’s kin, waited for hier brothers whistled "Gods, Bercelak What did that female do to you?"

"What is it?" he barked, his arms crossed over his chest and his feet braced apart He was in no s’ antics when he had the wo for him back in their bedchamber

Ghleanna answered, "By the time we arrived, her three brothers and that viper sister of hers were long gone Word is that two of her brothers went into the Northlands"

"Northlands?" he scoffed "The lightning dragons will eat them alive What else?"

"While the sister and the other brother went to the desert lands of Alsandair Those dragons uarantee the lightning dragons won’t help thereedy ones They’d love to have this territory"

"And they’ll never get it"

At the sound of Rhiannon’s voice, they all turned except Bercelak When around others he would never turn away from those who may harm her Now that she was queen, even with her er than she had been before So, instead, he gave a quick glance at her over his shoulder She stood before the pitch black against her skin and the collar and chain still around her neck

Bercelak had never loved her more

"Gods, Bercelak!" his sister exclaimed "What the hell did you do?"

He knehat she th of Rhiannon’s body, the tail starting at the very tip of her foot and reaching up one leg, across her stomach, around her back and across her ass, then back around and up her ribcage, across her breast, then upper chest and collarbone, until it rested across her neck and stopped at the right side of her jaw

But even though he knehat his sisterand no one, even his nosy kin, had any say in it whatsoever

He spoke to Rhiannon without turning around, "What do you want us to do? Do we follow theons," she stated with confidence "But that doesn’t mean on’t be prepared for theons froions, we’ll rip the scales from their body and tear their flesh apart"

Bercelak bit back his smile as the entire hall fell silent at Rhiannon’s casually dropped words He knew she htened the rest of theh He knew she’d s to right here first," she continued "My kin can wait until they do sorew silent and he could feel her eyes boring into his back, exaon burned into his human flesh covered his entire back and, to his aht while his ck grew hard at the thought that his female wanted him as much as he wanted her And he didn’t bother to hide his reaction Let them see Let them see it all
