Haunted By Her Dragon (The Dragon Guard Series) by Julia Mills Page B

leads, and then you and I can decide what
our best move is…Okay?”
    She
worried her bottom lip with her teeth until it was red and swollen. Under
different circumstances, he would have loved to kiss all her worries away, but
now was not the time, no matter what his mind and other much more persistent
parts of his body were telling him. He had heard stories of the potency of the
mating call, but never in his wildest dreams had he ever imagined what it would
be like. He was having a hard time thinking of anything but Sam’s lush body
spread naked before him. With a hard-fought restraint he didn’t know he
possessed, he pulled his errant thoughts back to the problem of finding the
missing child, and more importantly, keeping his amazing mate safe.
    Releasing
the hold he had on her and moving towards the window, he took his cell phone
from his back pocket. He hated deceiving Sam in any way, but how the hell would
he explain that he could actually speak directly into the minds of his brethren
and they into his? He pretended to dial, lifted the cell phone to his ear and
called out to the other members of his Force, all the while speaking into the
phone the words he was sending directly into their minds. “Any
news? I have one very antsy doctor up here that’s ready to run
out and start looking on her own.”
    “We’re
getting close. Andrew’s gotten refueled with black magic since the shit storm
in the woods. There were a few false trails, but they were weak and evaporated
quickly. Luckily, he wasn’t able to hide the little one’s fresh clean scent. We
finally located his path and are closing in,” Royce
growled, more than a little pissed off.
    “I
swear to the Heavens when we catch this son of a bitch, I’m taking him out
where he stands. Fuck the Elders, and fuck the Tribunal. This bastard needs to
die!” Usually the most quiet and serene of all his brethren, Devon was practically screaming through their mind
speak, proving that this shit with Andrew was wearing on all of them. The
stupid douche bag had just gone farther than any of them would have thought
possible by taking a child.
    “No
can do, Dev. The little fucker is mine.” Aidan countered. Lance
hadn’t even known he was there.
    “Not
if I find the piece of shit first,” Aaron seethed. Well damn ,
almost the whole crew was there.
    “How
the hell did you two get here so quickly?” he asked the
twins. All the shit they had endured for almost a year had hit them the hardest
of all. Andrew was their younger brother, blood of their blood. How the hell they kept their sanity was beyond him.
    “Aar
was at the house looking over some of the information Grace dug up on ‘The
Auctioneer’ when we heard you call Royce. We headed over to see if we could
help find the little girl and kick our brother’s ass,” Aidan
answered. The fury at the brother he had devoted so much of his life to, caring
for and training, only to have him betray all of them and their way of life,
had to feel like a dagger to the heart.
    “The
son of a bitch has gone too far this time. Whoever finds him needs to kill him.
END OF STORY! No one hurts a child, NO ONE!” Devon was
literally screaming fury.
    “Okay
Dev, you’re right, but don’t pop a vessel before we find him. Woosah , Bro, woosah .”  Lance
chuckled even though he didn’t feel it, in an effort to calm his brethren; themgoing off half-cocked was what Andrew was hoping for.
The dirty little traitor wanted them to make mistakes so that he could keep
spreading his special brand of crazy.
    “I
know, Dude, but a child? Really? What the fuck? This
shit is making me crazy!” Devon answered. Lance could hear
him trying to calm down and regain his focus.
    “I
know, man, I know. Now we have to find her before his crazy ass loses it all
together. Let me see if I can get the doc to chill and then I will come help
you search,” he answered, wondering how in the hell
he was going to keep Sam from going with him.
    “Do
