Chapter 12: Between Two Worlds

Nick’s heart threatens to stop beating as Tris stares at him with wide eyes. He hadn’t known what to say about Dom yet, but his dragon just couldn’t lay low long enough for him to figure it out.

Now he feels fully exposed and vulnerable. He knows Tris is going to have questions, and he isn’t going to be able to answer them.

“I, he, well…We,” Nick stutters. He still isn’t sure if he would refer to them as different entities when they are clearly one. “He helped me save you,” he finally says.

“Okay,” Tris replies, drawing the word out until it feels more like a question than a statement.

“And, Dom is part of me. He’s in my head, like the dragons we met yesterday,” Nick tries to explain.
