“My muscle isn’t as prominent as some people’s,” I said, “but it’s effective.”
“I have no doubt of that. You took out six shifters and a dragon in one night.”
“I had help. A lot of help. Sindari, of course, and if not for Zav, Dob would have killed me like an elephant smashing a beetle underfoot.” Now that some time had passed, and I’d had a chance to consider how much trouble he might get in because of my actions, I felt more inclined to apologize to him, or at least thank him. But who knew if I would ever see him again?
Willard pulled out her phone and read a text. “Hm.”
“Is that your landlord letting you know that your exercise equipment exceeds the weight allowance for the second floor?” I asked.
“No.” She lowered the phone, her face grim. “The dragon’s body disappeared out of the big storage unit we put it in until we could get a proper team to examine it.”
“It disappeared?” Dimitri asked. “How does that happen?”
“Magic,” I murmured.
I had a bad feeling the Dragon Justice Court had collected it and that I would soon find out if Zav’s attempt to hide my role in killing Dob would work.

The adventure continues in Death Before Dragons Book 3: Tangled Truths.
Afterword
Thank you so much for continuing along with my Death Before Dragons series. I’m having a lot of fun writing these characters, and I hope you’re enjoying spending time with them too.
I’m writing some bonus scenes from Zav’s perspective (because who doesn’t want to know what that dragon is really thinking?). I’m going to send them out to my newsletter subscribers about the time I release Book 4 (some of the scenes are from 4, and I don’t want to give out spoilers before it’s published). If you’re interested in getting them, you can sign up for my newsletter here:

You’ll also get my Beginnings boxed set (four Book 1 series starters for my other fantasy worlds) and some more extras related to Death Before Dragons as I continue working on this series.
Thanks for your support, and if you have time, please consider leaving a review for Battle Bond.
