Aurora had meant to move forward to protect the baby, but instead felt herself involuntarily take a step back at the unexpected display of raw, animal power.
The badger-dog stopped in its tracks, whining low, with its bushy tail between its legs.
“Get out of here,” Kade said.
The three men in uniform scattered without another word.
There was a swift intake of breath from the doorway to the building.
Kade blinked again, and his eyes went back to normal.
But it was too late. The shopkeep had obviously already seen enough to know Kade’s true nature. Tales of the mighty dragon-warriors of the Invicta were told in hushed whispers across all the inhabited systems.
The man stood frozen for a moment, then hung his head and went back inside.
The boy with the broom was standing in the far corner of the tents, wearing a similar resigned expression that Aurora didn’t understand.
“Is your grandfather okay?” Aurora asked. “I know it was scary for those men to come.”
“You shouldn’t have done that,” the boy said quietly.
“Of course we should,” Aurora said. “We have to stand up for each other, for what’s right.”
“Maybe,” the kid said. “But you just made things much, much worse.”
“What do you mean?” Kade asked, striding over with an earnest expression.
But the boy just jogged into the house after his grandfather, leaving Aurora, Kade, and Lyra to draw their own conclusions.
