Hatred didn’t so easily dissipate through the centuries.
He wasn’t ready to wake from his sleep, but with the two humans invading his mountain, Con would want to investigate. Kellan also found himself curious at the intrusion.
Using the telepathic ability between all Dragon Kings, Kellan called out Con’s name, knowing his friend would arrive quickly. With barely a thought, Kellan shifted into human form. He rotated his arms and shook out his legs. There were no clothes for him to don because he’d had no intention of waking for many more millennia.
He walked naked to the woman and squatted beside her. Kellan didn’t have the power to heal her as Con did. The bleeding had slowed, but it hadn’t stopped.
Kellan shifted the woman onto her back, noting how hot her skin was to the touch. His body, however, responded instantly to the softness of the female, and it infuriated him. His body needed release, but it wouldn’t be by this woman.
Promptly ignoring his thickening cock and the soft curves of the female’s breast, Kellan picked up the needle she had been using and finished stitching the wound.
The male had managed to miss any of her vital organs, but the wound was long and deep. As delicate as humans were, Kellan knew Con was needed if she was to live. The choice of whether she died or not would be Con’s.
Once Kellan finished, he bit the thread with his teeth and tied it off before lifting the woman into his arms. The feel of her curves reminded him of the yearning for a release clawing at him. He had to see to it. It wasn’t because of this particular female in his arms. It had just been too long.
Kellan told himself that once more for good measure before he strode from his cave.
Many of his fellow Dragon Kings had taken human females as lovers. Kellan had had several before his Bronzes were killed. Afterward, he took a female only when he could stand it no more.
It was unfortunate that his body demanded such release. He glanced down at the woman in his arms. She was thin, but her muscles were finely honed. Her dark hair was held back away from her face in a knot so he had no idea how long it was.
Kellan barely looked at her face. There was no need. He never planned to see her again once he deposited her at Con’s feet, even though Kellan admired her courage and tenacity. That’s all she would get from him.
That’s all he could give.
It was much more than he had given a human in thousands of years.
Kellan navigated the corridors of his mountain easily until he came to the entrance. Just as he expected, Con, along with Rhys and Kiril, stood waiting for him.
