Read Online Fighting For Her Dragon by Julia Mills - Free Book Online Page B

right where he stood. Those times were long gone, at least in his mind. He only prayed he could make them fade away in the hearts and minds of the dragons and his mate.
    “Yep. I already know it is. That book is nasty. It stinks of death and darkness. Why would you have something so ugly, Andrew?”
    “I thought I needed it, but I was wrong. What I need you to do is have Siobhan look at some of the pages from other books I hid between its pages. Those passages are not evil, not at all; they might actually help me talk to Emma. She does still want to talk to me, doesn’t she?”
    “Well, of course she does. She wants that real bad. That’s what she and Aaron are fighting about.”
    Andrew growled under his breath and his dragon chuffed. The beast was right. This was what the traitor needed to prepare himself for. Everyone but his mate thought he was better off in hell and out of their lives. They would’ve been right had he been the same old Andrew and hell, they were partially right now. He still held them responsible for what he’d suffered, no matter how many times he’d been told Aidan had come back for him. But none of that mattered right now. If he did, by some miracle, make it back to life, there was still gonna be hell to pay and the Tribunal would want to sentence him to death. It was all part of the gig and something he’d have to worry about later.
    It seemed to take forever before Sydney spoke again, and this time she was whispering. “Siobhan already found those pages. Pearce and Kyra are helping her translate them.” The little girl giggled. “Ms. Siobhan just told them that you did good figuring out some of the old words, but that your ancient language translation was way off in some places.”
    Andrew had to chuckle with the little girl. A few weeks ago he would’ve ordered Siobhan Walsh’s death for even suggesting he didn’t know what he was talking about. Now? He wanted to kiss her on the cheek for figuring it out. “Sydney, are Emma and Aaron still fighting?”
    “No. Shhhh. Ms. Siobhan is talking, and from the looks on everyone’s faces, it is not good news.”
    “What do you mean, Sydney? Can you tell me what she’s saying?”
    “Gotta go, Andrew. Mom’s on the way over. She’ll be mad if she knows I’m talking to you. She said this is adult business. Pfft. What does she know?”
    Andrew knew Sam was only trying to protect her daughter, and in an effort to show he was turning over a new leaf, he wanted to tell Sydney to do as her mother had told her. But if he did that, the little he was able to keep up with Emma would be lost, and he knew it would be a matter of hours before he lost his ever-loving mind. He could, however, ask the child to contac t him when things had quieted down.
    He was about to do just that when there was a loud pop and he could hear suddenly what Siobhan was saying. “Will you please stop yelling at one another? With the help of Pearce and Kyra, I have corrected the translation of several of the pages Andrew had hidden in the old tome. These appear to have been torn from an ancient journal detailing prophecies of the future. Since all of you are here, I think you need to listen. It affects all of us in one way or another. For some of us, life will never be the same.”
    “Sounds like SSDD.” A voice he recognized as Lance shouted.
    “Yes, well, be that as it may, I am not professing to understand everything I’ve read, but some of it is very obvious. Whatever we don’t figure out here tonight, I’ll work on until we understand it all. Any questions before I start?”
    A few seconds of silence and she spoke again, this time with a reverence to her voice that spoke to the sacredness of not only having a prophecy, but that they would be reading the old teaching as a group, the way they’d always meant to be read.
    “A powerful white witch of long regal lineage sworn to the Earth, made whole by human love, must mate a dragon of royal descent, marked by
