it on his waist before slinging the strap to his scabbard over his head so that his sword rested on his back.
    “I’ve an idea where to start,” he said. “Thav.”
    Kyndra visibly shuddered while Theron paled. “Aimery, no Fae has come back from that realm. It is a pit for thieves and mercenaries and cheats. Even when Lugus has gone as emissary it’s always a gamble if he’ll be able to return.”
    “Which means it is the perfect place for Isran to take the egg. Someone will be willing to pay what Isran wants for the egg.”
    “But why take the egg at all?” Kyndra asked. “Why kill the male?”
    “He killed the male because he could. He knew we would discover it was him. He wants me to come looking for him.”
    Theron nodded. “I agree. I think he took the egg not because of coin.” Kyndra’s blood turned to ice when Aimery laughed, the sound hollow and devoid of mirth. Ever since the commander had touched the blue dragon he hadn’t been able to hold back his anger, or maybe he didn’t want to. She didn’t know who Isran was but, whoever he was, the treachery to Aimery was severe.
    She glanced at his chest, disappointed that he had put on the tunic, but the glimpse she had seen of sculpted muscles had been well worth it.
    As he gathered his weapons for battle, she knew their journey would be treacherous, most likely claiming both their lives.
    “You’re right,” Aimery said. “Isran isn’t after coin. He’s after power. The black magic he’s been using is demanding more. He will continue until he has the power to invade us.”
    “That won’t ever happen.” Theron crossed his arms over his chest. “I’m sealing all doors in and out of our realm.”
    Aimery shook his head. “It won’t stop Isran, not for long anyway. If he gets the power he needs, he’ll be able to move through time and space much like Lugus does.” Kyndra listened with interest. Everyone knew of Lugus. As brother to Theron and rightful heir to the throne, he had been wrongly accused and thrown into the Realm of Shadows to die. Only he hadn’t died. He had managed to live through it, growing stronger until his powers were great enough to get out of the realm and try to take over the Fae as well as Earth. He nearly succeeded, but he gave his immortality to save their realm, thereby giving him a second chance at life.
    Though Lugus had been forbidden to ever return to the Realm of the Fae, he had done so to find Theron who had been tricked into the Realm of Shadows. That feat, as well as the love of a Fae, had returned his immortality. To the surprise of all, he hadn’t claimed the throne as was his right.
    “Lugus can travel wherever he chooses?” she asked.
    Theron nodded. “I’ve already called him here. He’ll help us.”

    “You shouldn’t have,” Aimery said. “Ahryn is ready to give birth to their first child. He needs to be here for that.”
    “I’ll let him decide.” Theron turned on his heel and walked from the chamber.
    Kyndra glanced from the king to Aimery. “Where is he going?”
    “To the throne room to await Lugus.”
    She licked her lips and pushed from the door. “Thank you for getting the information we needed.”
    “I’m surprised you aren’t angry with me because of it.”
    “Oh, I am perturbed about it.”
    A faint smile pulled at his lips. “You still have the Blue’s trust, Kyndra. Never doubt that.
    Anger and grief can make anything lose focus.”
    He motioned for her to follow Theron. Aimery fell into step beside her, and she found that she didn’t mind him being near. She had seen his appreciative glance over her body, but he hadn’t attempted to gain her interest. Not that he needed to do anything. No one could be in a room and not notice Aimery. He exuded sexuality greater than any Fae she had ever encountered. Add that to his magnetism and it was near impossible to stay away from him.
    Which was going to make being alone with him her greatest test.
