Alana nodded. âMara.â She squinted at Legion. âI didnât realize you had a man in your life.â
Mara gave her an icy stare. âWell, you would have to be interested in my life for that to happen, wouldnât you?â
Alana flinched. âYeah.â Her eyes darted around the loft. âI like what you and Natalie have done with the loft. It looks nice. Mom would have loved it. The shop looks good too.â
Mara âs heart split open. The unfettered wound of her motherâs death bled to the surface with the animosity she carried for her younger sibling. The power inside her wouldnât allow for lies. It exposed the bitter truth of her familyâs betrayal. âWe both know you couldnât care less about the shop or me. I only called you because you are in danger.â
Alanaâs eyes darted around the room. âWhy do you think that? What made you think I am in danger?â
Mara told her about her powerâs emergence and that the dragons were protecting her. She gave no names and gave the simplest of explanations. She wanted her sister to fill in the blanks. To reveal what she knew of druid history. âYouâre aware of the druids and the dragons. Arenât you, Alana?â
Alana shook her head. âI didnât know the dragons were still alive. I swear, thereâs no record of them in any of the scripts I have sought. Can I ask where they are.â
Legion muscles flexed when he moved. âMost of my race sleeps within the caves. Several are located around the world. One is here in the Colorado mountains.â
Alanaâs eyes went wide. âMy backyard and I never found it? I canât believe it. Where is it?â
Legionâs eyes narrowed. âI will not tell you and you wonât find it.â
Mara slapped his chest. âNever say something like that to her. She is a complete brat, but even I wouldnât challenge her.â
Legion frowned. âI did not challenge your sister.â
Mara glanced at her sibling. Alanaâs gaze assessed Legion. âIf you tell her she canât do something, sheâll do it to spite you.â
Legion glanced at Alana. âI am sure you are exaggerating. It would be a vast waste of her time to search for our caves. No human has stepped foot in a dragon cave.â
Alanaâs eyebrows went up. âNever?â
Legionâs eyes flickered. âNever.â
Alana smiled like it was Christmas morning.
Mara shook her head. âLegion, you have no idea what you have done. Alana once climbed the side of her high school because a boy dared her too. She was still flipping the boy off when the principal suspended her.â
Legion squinted. âThen sheâs dangerous and stupid.â
Alana fingered him. âAre all dragonsâ dicks? Or are you special?â
Legion huffed. âMara forgot to mention her sister was as disrespectful as she is callous.â
Alanaâs fists clenched. She looked ready to punch the man holding her sister.
Mara tapped his chest. âDonât antagonize her.â
Legion met his mateâs stare. âMe? She is the one making lewd gestures.â
Mara glanced at her sister. âTrust me, that is nothing. She once put poison ivy in the underwear of our entire football team. One of them called her frigid after she turned him down for a date.â
Legion glanced at Alana. âI may have to agree with her actions under such circumstances.â
Alana laughed when Mara slapped Legionâs chest. âEncouraging her, is worse than challenging her.â
The bedroom door opened before Natalie and Tempest entered the living room.
Alana stood with her jaw open. âTempest!â she glanced at Mara. âI have been looking for her for four years and you just stumble on her.â
Mara sat up in Legionâs arms. âWhat are you talking about?â
Alana pursed her lips. âMom told me about the druids and that I had druid blood, when I exhibited signs. Mom did several tests on you. She didnât think you were part of the circle.â
A tear slipped from Maraâs eyes. âYou both knew and said nothing to me.â
Alana held her hands up. âI was trying to protect you. Mom said that just because you have druid blood doesnât mean the magic will emerge.â
Maraâs eyes narrowed. âYou have magic?â
Alana shook her head. âNot yet. I have abilities that my magic will strengthen when it emerges. Instincts that are enhanced by my druid blood.â
Mara looked away. âYour caving obsession.â
Alana nodded. âYes, but Iâm looking for an object that we need to access the temple.â
Maraâs heart squeezed. âYou know everything.â
Alana looked Legion over. âI donât know the name of the dragon holding you.â
Mara couldnât look at her sister. Her gaze remained on the opposite wall. âHis name is Legion. He is leader of the Rule Clan. Leader of the dragons. He is also my mate.â Her voice sounded hollow to her own ears.
Alana frowned. âMom mentioned Legion once, but his mate is the seer. We are waiting for her to return. To lead us to the temple.â
Maraâs eyes flared with power. âThatâs right. You had the seer your entire life. You wanted nothing to do with her.â
Alanaâs face went white. âYouâre the seer?â
Maraâs power swelled, licking across her sisterâs skin. It didnât burn her, it caressed her with the stench of betrayal. Alana recoiled. âJesus, Mara. Youâre the most powerful druid ever born, and youâre the last seer.â
Mara jumped out of Legionâs lap. âHow the hell could you keep this from me? Why would mom trust you with this secret and not me?â She didnât bother to keep the hurt from her voice. It sliced like a whip through the air at her stricken sister.
Alana touched her fingers to her lip. Uncertainty and pain creased her brow. âIâm sorryâ
Mara shook her head. âI need a moment alone.â She glanced at Tempest. The clouded green eyes matched her own. Betrayal left an impression. Yet, her own family hadnât betrayed Tempest. She flung the door open with a flick of her wrist.
Alana sucked in a breath as Mara slammed the door behind her.
Legion shimmered in her mind.
