through his opponent’s midsection like it was no more than hot butter. A barely audible groan were the hunter’s only dying words as he crumpled to the ground in a heap of blood and entrails.
“Nice work,” Aidan called out before turning to engage with one of the last hunters left standing.
“You, too,” Aaron responded, using his enhanced speed to tackle a hunter aiming his bow at the back of Kellan’s head.
Spinning as if he had eyes in the back of his head, Kellan nodded his thanks and took off after the last armed assailant. Just as the hunter fell, Rory called out the all clear. Rayne’s command quickly followed, “Kyra, keep up the shielding until all the bodies have been burned and removed. The rest of you help with the cleanup.”
An hour later all remnants of their fight with the hunters had been eliminated, and thanks to Kyra’s magic, even the grass and foliage had been returned to their original luster. Aaron and Aidan approached the original circle. The panthers and dragons had returned to human form and the other Guardsmen stood in groups discussing what had just happened.
Rian was the first to address the entire group with Max at his side. “It’s obvious this was an ambush. We haven’t seen hunter activity in this area for quite some time. It’s also obvious who set us up. I know the traitor was here. Some of the clues were real, but the majority was bogus. The good thing is we took out an entire pack of hunters and Kyra and I now have a good taste of his dragon magic. Tracking him will be much easier.”
Rayne picked up where Rian left off, “Good job everyone. Thank you to Max and his panthers, we couldn’t have done it without you. See you all this evening at seven in the Great Hall.”
It was almost daybreak as the loud ‘POP’, followed by what sounded like air escaping a balloon, signaled Kyra’s release of the shielding spell. Aaron listened as Rory and Lance gave blow-by-blow accounts of their battles. His thoughts drifted to Charlie. He reached through their growing mating bond and found his mate blissfully asleep.
She’s dreaming of me…of us.
He was so lost to the beautiful dream Charlie was having of them together, Aaron ran right into Lance’s back. The other Guardsman spun in his heels, took one look at Aaron, and burst out laughing. Aaron prepared for what he knew was about to come.
“This is better than soccer on Sunday with a case of beer and no commercials. Smartass is in love.”
“I must say it’s refreshing to see you joining the ranks of the fallen,” Royce added, sliding to the right to avoid Aaron’s fist.
“How the mighty have fallen. Thank the Heavens it’s not me,” Rory added, slapping Aaron on the back.
Aaron was just about to respond when a voice he had hoped never to hear again blasted through his mind. He spun towards Aidan, whose facial expression mirrored his own. “Laugh it up. Enjoy your fun. It’s only a matter of time, Brothers. Soon there will be nothing left of you or your pitiful excuse of a life.”
CHAPTER FIVE
Andrew sat on the highest ledge, using the little bit of earthen magic he’d been able to gather, combined with his dragon magic, to stay hidden while he sent his useless brothers a message. He knew it was impetuous, but the idiots and their brethren had invaded his sanctuary. Caused him to abandon the only safe place he could make it to with all his injuries. Injuries that weren’t healing no matter how much power he forced into them.
Kyra would track him if he stayed out in the open much longer; he just had to see the looks on their pathetic faces when he made contact. It was more than worth the risk to see their dumbfounded looks. He had always been the smartest of the brothers. The wonder twins had all their special powers, but he was the thinker of the family, the one able to see the whole picture.
His genius plan of using the hunters had worked out perfectly. Luckily, he’d kept in touch with a few
