[ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] that had happened to her. She needed a little more time. What do we do now? she questioned when he let her loose from the kiss. I am going to try a new contact. He may be the one who can help us discover what this Markus Grekko really wants with our land and what is really beneath Serpent Mountain. A strange, delighted thrill ran through Terrie at Kaden s use of the word our. She felt it deep down inside: it was no longer hers or his. Ours sounded exactly right. * * * * Satisfaction from a hard day s work made Kaden feel good. He had finished the outer fence line with Nole, and there were a half-dozen other small repair jobs around the homestead that still had needed to be done before the cattle were herded tomorrow. He sat back in the office chair, flipping the little white card in his hand. He needed information from a source that had supernatural contacts. Who better than Slazzamar the sneak or, as he now called himself, a rogue demon hunter? He wasn t sure about this Moon Shadow Agency, but Slazzamar was a half-elf, half-demon breed with a reputation for finding information. Yet that information had always come with a price. Perhaps things had really changed with this creature. If his sister had trusted him to bring the treasure, then maybe he could trust him, too. But would he be willing to help? Kaden drew in a breath. It was time to swallow his pride and do what he needed to do in order to protect his mate. He picked up the phone and called. Moon Shadow, answered a male with an Australian accent. I wish to speak with Slazzamar. Sure, and who s calling? Kaden De-Kerr. Slazz, baby, someone by the name of Kaden s on the phone for you! yelled the male. 95 Dragon Down Under He listened. There was the sound of a shuffle and a moment of silence before Slazzamar spoke. How can I help a dragon? I am in need of information. I am not the sneak anymore, Slazzamar growled. I respect that, but I still need information. I ve come across a situation that may be connected with the Outer Realm. Many things are connected with the Outer Realm, Kaden, but tell me what it is you want to know, he said with a resigned sigh. There is a mountain in the Northern Territory called Serpent Mountain. I need to find out if it has any supernatural or Outer Realm history. My mate s father was already murdered over this land, and I need to know why the hell a human would kill to possess it. Well, first of all, congratulations on your newly acquired mate. Second, I m sure I can find something in the archives of the ancients. It is appreciated. Will there be a price for this information? Think of it as a mating present, Slazzamar said. Give me your contact details. I ll teleport over if I find something. Kaden gave his location and number to the elf. By the way, do you know who killed your mate s father? I do not know who, but I believe a man by the name of Markus Grekko is behind it. There was a sudden angry growl from the other end of the phone. Markus Grekko? That son of a bitch! Kaden, I ll get on this right away. If Grekko s behind this, then you bet your dragon ass it has supernatural connections. Who is this man? A right pain in my ass. I ll get back to you soon, Kaden. Keep that mate of yours safe. 96 Dragon Down Under A beeping indicated Slazzamar had ended the call. Is everything all right? What did your contact say? Terrie padded barefoot into the office, her blond hair damp from a shower. Kaden inhaled her beautiful scent. Lust surged like wildfire through him as his eyes swept over her shapely hips, slightly rounded belly, and full breasts everything that belonged to him. It will be. We must be vigilant and careful. He would not lie to her. My contact will find out all he can. Until then, my little mate, there are many things to do while we wait. She smiled as he pushed up from her father s desk. Would you like to get to know your dragon a little better? 97 Dragon Down Under Chapter 13 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
