you know, right?” Alexander asked. Jade nodded her head meekly, nursing the beer bottle and wishing that the lovely serenity Alexander had planted in her didn’t fade so damn quickly.
    “It’s just… I can’t imagine them being okay with me being out there, knowing. Every show, I saw their darkness spread further. They have this black wave, sort of like your gold, that sweeps over the crowd and makes them do things they wouldn’t normally do. It made me do and think things I shouldn’t have either,” she admitted, those dry heaves threatening to come back again.
    “So you came to us because you thought we could help?” Apollo asked, no judgment souring his words.
    “Yes,” Jade admitted. “I thought, maybe, they wouldn’t come after me if I was with you guys. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a big deal. But I guess I was wrong.” She swept a hand over Apollo’s trashed suite, broken glass and splintered furniture scattered around in unkempt piles. Her chin quivered a little as the magnitude of the destruction dawned on her. All because she had made a dumb assumption and dragged these shifters, who had nothing to do with her into her mess.
    Before a tear could roll down her cheek, Apollo was there, pushing one of her jet black locks out of her face with one hand while his other rested on the small of her back, caressing her softly and sending little waves of pleasure wafting through her. She looked up at him and then to Alexander, and to her surprise, both of them looked sternly decided. They stood like watchmen over their mark, as if promising to guard over her.
    “No, you were right to come to us, Jade,” Alexander said softly.
    “We won’t let anything happen to you,” Apollo agreed. “You are safe, Jade. No matter what.” It sounded like a promise he would die to keep. It scared her a little, but at the same time, it filled her with a sense of ease and hope she’d long given up on.
    Maybe it’ll be alright?

CHAPTER SEVEN
    Alexander
     
    As soon as Jade had been tucked away for the night, hidden away in Apollo’s bed, while he slept on the couch, Alexander had gone to work. He had to quell the rage he felt forming in him, his dragon having grown more and more irate throughout the conversation with Jade.
    It hadn’t taken long for him to realize what she was going to tell him and Apollo. One glance at that torn Death Wing shirt had told him everything he needed to know. The Gold Dragons had never got along with Death Wing. It wasn’t only the fact that they were rivals in the world of rock. The Goldplains and the Blackscales went way back.
    Legend told that before the council of Treasure Lane was formed, the Blackscales had been one of the more prominent families in the area. They ruled over the lands now known as Gold Way, until the Goldplains drove them from it. Back then it had been a dragon against dragon kind of world, and only the strongest survived.
    The smaller shifters – wolves, bears, big cats and the like – could go about their little lives, thinking they were significant, but all the real battles were waged between the true lords of shifter kind, the dragons. And when two powerful families fought, the world shuddered around them. Since then, there had been no love lost between the Blackscales and Goldplains, and as far as Alexander was concerned, that wasn’t about to change.
    It wasn’t merely the history they shared, but the fact that the two families worked differently on a fundamental level. The Goldplains had prided themselves for centuries in using their power for good, while the Blackscales seemed to have no such scruples. Where the Goldplains healed, the Blackscales destroyed. Where the Goldplains built, the Blackscales demolished.
    Meeting again on the rock charts as two significant, but completely different forces in music was yet another rendition of the age-old fight. Alexander wasn’t even surprised. Some rivalries couldn’t be quelled, no matter how long past the
