looked stunned to find herself the focus of the questions now. “How
    can you all be so gullible? Can’t you see that she’s manipulating you? She’s evil.”
    “She’s a Tiria . It’s not possible for her to be evil and hold those blades.” Jaeson
    shook his head.
    Samiel was astounded by the woman’s continued blindness. He didn’t know if it
    was some kind of grudge she held or if she’d been fed the information. It was
    something that bore looking into later. His first focus was on enlightening their Tiria
    about just what she was to them.
    “She’s not going to believe you. It’s thanks to her and her friends that Meagan was
    practically chased from town before she claimed the blades.” The blonde who’d spoken
    before looked up and her mouth twisted into a grimace.
    “They are responsible for Meagan being run out of the village?” Elder Sarash asked.

    “Chased through the streets?” Samiel’s brows rose. If that had actually happened it
    said a lot that she was back here.
    “If you want to talk about it, go somewhere else. Some of us actually have things to
    do.” The black-haired woman, Meagan, cast an irritated glance around the assembled
    vampires, dragons and witches.
    “Yes, some of us have things to do. Unfortunately, you’re not going to get to finish
    what you’ve started. We’re going to be talking to you. There are apparently a few things
    that you don’t understand.” Samiel took a step forward.
    “Look, I know there’s something about a dragon or a vampire being my mate. That
    can wait. There’s too much to do. The village matters, the rest can be dealt with later.”
    Meagan shook her head and looked back to the book in front of her.
    Jaeson walked over and closed the book firmly. “That’s just one of the things we
    need to talk about. We’re going to need somewhere private to do it. We’ll go to one of
    the inns. Neutral territory.”
    “Look, you’re not listening…again. Whatever this Tiria thing means doesn’t matter,
    saving this village is more important.” She put her hands on the leather cover. Her head
    tilted and she looked frustrated.
    “The town will be safe while we’re talking to you. There are enough dragons and
    vampires here to ensure any attack will fail.” Jaeson smiled and cupped Meagan’s
    elbow, drawing her to her feet.
    She opened her mouth, probably to argue. The woman didn’t seem to want to hear
    anything they said. Samiel stepped forward. She didn’t look at all intimidated or afraid
    of them. Of course, she didn’t appear to know much about what taking up those swords
    had meant to her life. He’d enjoy telling her all about it. He expected her to be horrified,
    afraid or even panicked when she realized the full truth. Most witches tried to avoid the
    ties or run from them. He didn’t know what she would do.
    “We are going to talk privately about this,” Samiel said before she could think of
    something to say. “We’re not going to walk away and leave you alone.”
    They definitely wouldn’t be leaving her alone. She might not want to run right now,
    but she might after she learned of the ties. She seemed absolutely focused on the attacks
    and on the town. He understood her urgency. She lived here. This was very personal to
    her.
    She looked at the two of them. “Why are you two so eager to have this talk with
    me?”
    “We’ll talk about that when we’re alone as well.” Samiel stepped back giving her
    room to pass.
    She rolled her eyes, but took a step forward. He had a feeling she was going to give
    them a few surprises. She slipped past him. She wasn’t a tall woman. Her head came to
    about the middle of his chest. All in all, it was a very nice size and she had curves to
    please any man. The difference in her size and his made her seem even more feminine.
    A glint of gold at the top curve of the ear caught his eyes. He smiled as he saw two gold
