Kyra agreed as she popped a cherry tomato into
her mouth.
“What about the twins, the gargoyles, Daphne and
Elizabeth... how are they doing? The last time I checked on them, they seemed
better to me,” Della said as she got plates and silverware out for their meal.
“Yes, they’re doing much better. Still can’t call
their beasts but they have each other, a true twin connection, that will get
them through. But it’s Kristie I worry about. She’s the last chimera in
existence. There were only five of them when the hunters raided their lair. The
bastards took them all while they slept and killed the other four, not even
knowing what they were. I fear she’ll never recover.” Calysta felt the tears
well up in her eyes just as they did every time she thought about Kristie’s
bleak future.
“Can she live without her magic?” Kyra asked, taking the pan
from the stove and placing pieces of omelet on each of their plates.
Shaking her head, the Priestess had to admit, “I don’t know.
I honestly didn’t think any chimera still existed. Our Elders and teachers said
they’d been gone for centuries so we never really studied them. I’m going to
have to have Jodie bring me some books from the coven’s library to see what I
can find out. I had hoped Kristie would be well by now, but…”
The rest of her sentence died in her throat as Royce said ,
“Calysta, you there?”
“I’m here,” she quickly answered, looking at Kyra to
see if she would hear him too. It was a beautiful thing that because of her
familial bond with her daughter and now Maddox and Royce’s to the same two
people, all four could speak over long distances. At first, the Priestess had thought
it a hindrance, but now thanked the Goddess.
As Kyra nodded, Royce continued , “I’m guessing Kyra told
you everything we know so far?”
“Yes, she did.”
“Well, I don’t have much else to report other than Maddox
has still not awakened. From what I can tell, the silver is all but gone from
his system, which is good. I think his dragon has forced a healing sleep so the
old cuss could be out for about another day or so. We’re gonna rig up a
stretcher and bring him home. We’ll be there in a couple of hours. You want him
at the house, right?”
“Nope, take him to the clinic. I’ll meet you there and
I’ll call Niall,” Calysta declared.
Barking with laughter, Royce mused, “Oh man, the old boy
is in the doghouse. I’m so loving this. Wait till I tell Rory.”
She thought about saying, “Tell them all” but decided to
hold her tongue and just thank her daughter’s mate for rescuing her mad dragon .
“Thanks for going out in the middle of the night to save his mangy hide, and
please tell your brothers thank you for me. Make sure they come to the clinic
with you, I have a little something to show my gratitude.” She laughed to
herself at how furious Maddox was going to be when he found out she’d given the
boys each a fifth of his 1965 Macallan single malt whiskey for rescuing his
butt.
And I couldn’t care less…
“Yes ma’am, you got it. See you soon.” Royce was
still snickering when he cut his connection with her to continue talking to her
daughter.
Turning to Della, who was about to pop with the need to know
what was happening, Calysta explained, “Maddox is in a healing sleep. Royce is
going to transport him to the clinic on a gurney of some sort and I said we
would meet them there.”
Her sister’s shoulders bounced with her contained laughter
before she giggled. “Poor Maddox, I really thought he was smarter than to cross
you.”
Touching the dried flowers of the arrangement Audrey, Rian’s
mate, had made out of the bouquet from her and Maddox’s mating ceremony that
sat in the middle of the table, Calysta chuckled, “I guess we were both wrong,
sis, but I guarantee he will most definitely remember next time.”
“Oh damn, this is getting good,” Kyra teased as she ate her
breakfast.
The rest of their
her mouth.
