Carpathian people,\" Nicolas explained to her before turning back to his prince. \"Mikhail, this is avio päläfertiil .\" He put unmistakable possession in his voice even as he rested his hand on the small of her back.
Mikhail bowed slightly from the waist. \"I am pleased to meet your life mate, Nicolas, but what is her name?\"
\"Her name?\" For the first time Nicolas looked bewildered.
\"She does have a name, doesn\'t she?\" Mikhail asked, clearly amused.
Nicolas looked down at the bright burst of red-gold hair and those brilliant jeweled green eyes. \"What is your name?\"
\"You tied us together and you don\'t even know my name,\" she scoffed, trying to ignore the scent of tainted, rotted blood in the room. \"You\'re absolutely crazy, you know that? It\'s Lara. Lara Calladine. And you?\" Her heart was pounding too hard, knowing her life had changed forever. She couldn\'t think about it yet, keeping emotion light until she had time to assimilate what had happened and what she could do about it.
His slow smile nearly melted her on the spot, a distraction when the room felt \"off\" to her.
\"Nicolas De La Cruz.\"
\"You\'re Carpathian.\" She made it a statement, looking from one man to the other. \"You both are.\" It was difficult to be conversing when she found herself shivering with cold, a little disoriented and slightly sick.
\"As are you,\" Nicolas replied.
Lara shook her head. \"Part, but not all.\"
His eyebrow shot up. \"You are of the Dragonseeker lineage. No one could ever mistake your features or your eyes for anything else.\"
Her heart leapt. \"Then you know my aunts? Have you news of them?\"
Nicolas wanted to give her good news. The joy and hope on her face was astonishing. \"I am sorry, päläfertiil , I know only Dominic as full Dragonseeker. There are two females, Natalya, Vikirnoff\'s life Page 27

mate, as well as my brother\'s life mate, Colby, who carry Dragonseeker blood. It is a great lineage and one of the most revered in our history.\"
Lara looked to Mikhail. \"Have you heard of my aunts?\"
Mikhail shook his head. \"I am sorry. I do not know which aunts you speak of. There are no full-blooded women in the Dragonseeker line. Rhiannon was the last and she is lost to us. How are you related?\"
She opened her mouth and closed it abruptly. She was part mage. She knew the story of Rhiannon, the last daughter of the Dragonseeker lineage. She had been the life mate of a great warrior who had been murdered by Xavier, the high mage. Xavier had kept Rhiannon prisoner and alive, forcing her to give birth to his children. The triplets Soren, Tatijana and Branislava were born of the unholy union. Soren had escaped into the world and joined with a human woman. He had two children, Razvan and Natalya. Lara\'s father was Razvan. She was a direct descendent of the Carpathian\'s worst enemy, the man who had betrayed their trust and started a war that ultimately had led to the near extinction of mage and Carpathian alike. Her mother had been mage, so mage blood ran strong in her, along with the Dragonseeker blood.
Lara shifted her gaze to Terry, who lay on the bed moaning and rocking back and forth. She forced herself to look at him when she wanted to run. She had seen young mages who had been deliberately injected with the parasites rotting from the inside out. The scent of death was already oozing from his pores.
She cleared her throat. \"Were you able to clear his blood of the parasites?\"
Terry\'s body jerked and he focused on her face. \"Lara. You\'re back. It hurts like hell. What do you mean parasites?\"
\"The right leg is easy enough,\" Mikhail said out loud, \"but the left is giving me a few problems.\" He glanced toward Nicolas, using the common telepathic path used by the Carpathian people. She did not answer my question .
Lara stiffened. They were communicating on the path her aunts used with her. She had always thought that there had been a chance she
