And Tori had not been shy about his questions Now that he see a bit around them, he peppered theons lived in Burkhard to the nues, the hierarchy of the clan, who decided what tasks a e did, and even more about bonded es elco he’d apparently been through as a child

Careat start, but he was only oneIt wasn’t like all the ’s stamp of approval the same way Cameron did

The only way to truly convince Tori would be for hi and the Burkhard Clan No a to change the e’s mind

So far, Baldewin’s only complaint about the drive was the car itself

The Opel Corsa was one of the most commonly rented cars and would offer them some anonymity on the road as they tried to safely make their way back to Germany

Unfortunately, the economical machine was not built for men of Warin’s and his stature Tori, on the other hand, was six inches shorter and had athe Opel a comfortable fit for him

He missed Alric’s fleet of SUVs back at the castle With plush leather seats and lots of leg and head rooons The Opel was better off for little wind dragons like Ravi

Halfway into their four-hour drive to the hotel, they rab soe on the electric car Muscles that had nothing to do with his hu around was going to stop it He hadn’t shifted since he and Warin arrived in Helsinki, and it was looking like it would be several days before he had a chance to safely shift at Burkhard Castle

It didn’t help that his dragon was also gru to fly For the most part, he seeon’s fascination with the e, he needed to fly

But daydreaotten when Tori offered to switch seats with Warin as they continued their trek to Riga Warin had started the drive and said so a little sleep while Baldewin took the wheel for the last half of the drive Tori had mentioned that Warin would be able to stretch out more in the backseat

Considering how Warin’s wide shoulders and long legs still seemed to be bunched up in the backseat, Baldeasn’t too sure that his friend wasfrom the rear of the vehicle indicated that he found a way

And Baldewin now had thebeside hi about soetting farther away from his old clan

Tori had been asking the ons Warin and Baldewin had attempted to ask a few questions of their own, but Tori’s open and relaxed manner frosted over in the blink of an eye The s just yet, and Baldewin didn’t want to push and destroy all the progress they had made

It had been interesting to speak to Tori since sharing a meal on the ferry The man had started to unbend with each kilometer he put between himself and his old clan He teased them; his mind quick And his smile Most of the time, his s, but there were a few times where his true, full s the sun break over theIt stole Baldewin’s breath away The sain far too quickly, as if dark clouds had rolled in Baldewin couldn’t draw his eyes away froain

“How often does a dragon need to fly?” Tori asked suddenly, breaking the silence of the car With an electric engine, the vehicle made nearly no noise as they traveled down the road There was just the low shush of the tires gliding along the pave so much until they swapped positions that they hadn’t even bothered to turn on the radio Even noith the quiet of the car and Warin’s snoring, the silence was surprisingly comfortable
