return to the other world to find her. I can’t
enjoy miserable human girls such as you do. This inter-species breeding you and
your men go through – I’ve never approved of it.”
    “Some of the
human women … Are as beautiful and true as that of the dragon…”
    “Well, they
look like us. I’ll give you that. It’s when I get close to them … the smell …
the absence of their soul… They’re not fit for a king.”
    “I beg to
differ.”
    “Do you?” the
King said sharply. “And on what grounds do you beg?”
    “I have a
girl with me this evening,” Zane said. “A woman. I would like you to meet her.
It’s … my …”
    He trailed
off.
    “Finish what
you were saying.”
    “I think that
she would be best suited to wed you, than any of my men.”
    “And why is
that you think that?”
    “Because,”
Zane said slowly, “after only meeting her a short time, I can feel myself
falling for her. No human has made me feel this way.”
    “Really?”
    King Horatio
was grinning.
    Zane’s eyes
drifted towards the Mage who was staring solemnly back. Zane could almost see
the smile forming on his lips…
    “I’ll tell
you what,” Horatio said. “I’ll meet this woman of yours. And if she satisfies
me … If she makes me feel the way you feel about her, before the evening is out
… Then I will wed her, and things will carry on per the norm…”
    The King
moved into Zane’s line of site.
    They both
looked at each other, head on.
    “But if she
does not satisfy me – you will lead my army against the humans. You will obey my every command.”
    “Of course,
your Highness,” Zane replied.
    “And I will
see to it also, that this girl is burnt at the stake, for I need no Dragon to
be leading my army, with bewitchment in his eyes…”
     

 
    CHAPTER
FIFTEEN
     
     
    Zane had been gone for only ten
minutes, but when he returned to Stacey his emotions seemed to have completely
changed. Although she could see he was desperately trying to show it, Zane was
now very troubled. He put his arm around her and escorted them to a quiet place
to the left of the entrance away from the guard.
    “I’ve made a
mistake,” Zane murmured. “I’ve got you into a lot of trouble.”
    “What?”
Stacey whispered back. “How?”
    “It’s a long
story, but now the King expects you to satisfy him.”
    “By satisfy
do you mean…?”
    “Yes.”
    Stacey’s jaw
dropped. “But what about us?”
    “What about
us?”
    “I thought
maybe … I don’t know what I thought.”
    “You really need
to do this, Blossom. If you can’t make the King happy tonight, there’s going to
be huge consequences.”
    “Like what?”
    “You and I
will never see each other again.”
    “Don’t say
that…”
    Zane sighed.
“I’ll lead you into the hall. I’ll introduce you to the King. From there
though, it’s up to you. Do exactly as he says and just try your best to be
attractive and sexual.”
    “Sexual?
Seriously?”
    “I sort of
talked you up. I was telling the truth, but I shouldn’t have been so
forthcoming with him. I had no idea how cruel his stance would be.”
    Now Stacey
was frightened. She became of her heart rate and breathing, and felt just as
she had when the security team had left her stranded in front of the gates.
    “What’s he
like?” Stacey asked. “Is he nice like you are?”
    “No,” Zane
replied. “He’s not like me.”
    Their
attention was suddenly caught by a man in purple robes standing at the edge of
the entrance. “The feast has been prepared,” he called to Zane. “The King
expects you posthaste.”
    “Who is
that?” Stacey asked.
    “That’s the
King’s advisor. The Human Mage.” Zane turned to her. “Come on, we better follow
him.”
    Stacey
reached for Zane’s hand as they left the wall, but he wouldn’t let her take it.

SIXTEEN
     
     
    There were about fifty or so people
gathered to eat in the banquet hall. Two long tables extended opposite each
other on the left
