Morgan just can't control her cat instincts sometimes. She leaped from the counter in an effort to catch Cupcake. Morgan didn't anticipate Cupcake phasing. Instead of her paws clutching a pink fluffy dragon, they caught thin air as she fell. She contorted her body so that she could land on her feet, however, those feet landed in a pot of extra sauce. Morgan’s black fur is now coated in red sauce.
“That’s one wet pussy,” Vlad joked and I glared at him but we all laughed as Cupcake circled overhead puffing proudly.
Brandon asks, “Why didn't she use magic?”
Agnes puts her ears back, “Boy, the cat just takes over sometimes. Maybe I should make you into one for a day so that you will understand.”
Brandon looks at me and I shrug, “She could, you know.”
Sam rubbed my belly, “Eva, you need to eat,” he said as he pulled me into a kiss, “Later, you will need the energy.”
I roll my eyes as Vincent pursed his lips, clearly annoyed, “Clearly, you learned nothing earlier, my love.”
“I learned how to break a bed and destroy a room without using magic,” I reply as I wink and go and make everyone a plate while trying to avoid Morgan as she shakes and licks in an effort to clean herself.
Morgan looks at me, “I am me again. It just tastes so good.”
I smile, “Let's hope that everyone else thinks so too. Brandon stay and eat. The others will be over any minute now and one of them can get you home.”
Vlad pulls me onto his lap, “Exactly because I have plans for my wiley wife.”
“Such as planning on destroying our room next?” I tease.
Cassius cringes, “Ewww. No sex talk about my sister while I am eating, please.”
Vincent smirks, “It won't stay that way.”
Cassius replies, “It can for right now.”
My attention is drawn to the south. I stand and walk to the huge window. I say, “Light is coming.”
Eric shakes his head, “I don't feel anything yet.”
“They haven't crossed city limits yet but should soon.”
Eric takes my hand as his eyes glaze over, “Raven lost two beings. Not sure what but they are ones of the light so maybe a driad, fairy, or gnome. She drained a boy wolf though.”
Steven asks, “What did he look like?”
Eric sighs sadly, “Let me try a different angle.”
Since our date, Eric has gained an ability similar to mine. But his is different in that it can be a premonition and he can roll time backward to alter angles. He tapped into my pinpointing of the light brings and traces it back.
Eric says, “He's near your age. He has dark sandy blonde hair and tons of freckles. He's very thin too and has black horn-rim glasses.”
Steven says, “Tyler.”
Eric nods solemnly, “His life force is gone but she didn't consume his soul. So he has a chance at rebirth.”
Steven asks, “Why? Why him?”
Eric says, “Likely he was not pure enough for her needs so she drained him instead.”
I grinned as I looked at Sam, “See, told you that Katie would be good for him. Raven wanted Steven because he was pure and would be the perfect lure for the rest of your family. Now she had to settle and still didn't achieve anything.”
Sam shrugs, “Fine, Snow White you win this one. But we will still need to properly mourn him later.”
I nod and give him a kiss. Death is always hard but it doesn't have to be permanent. We have the ability to restore those lost souls.
Brandon sighs. I turn my attention to him and ask, “What is it?”
Brandon looks at all of us, “This is how a family should be.”
Gabriel pats his back, “It is your family now too, son.”
I nod and smile. But Amira jumps up and flutters her wings causing colored lights to trickle in from all over, “Told ya! Never underestimate the power of the light.”
Brandon says, “I am glad that I was wrong,” as he extends his hand to Vincent, “I am sorry that I hunted you.”
Vincent takes Brandon’s hand as he smirks, “I am glad that I didn't kill you all the times that I could have.” I glare at him and he shrugs before he says, “Love, it's true.”
Sam chuckles, “I told you that he wasn't how you thought.”
“He said the same about you too. Brandon was the only one besides Eric who didn't.”
Sam looks at Katie and she says, “There was a party but no real wedding so that makes you an asshole.”
Cassius puts his hand on hers, “Mate, that's our alpha.”
She kisses him before pulling away and pointing to me, “No, she's our alpha.” She gives Cassius a wink and whispers, “But you can be my alpha later.”
They're going to mate later. I wonder if he will give her a mark until she is Turned. Is there such a thing as a temporary mark? I will need to ask Sam later.
Sam uses our link as he looks over to me and the other guys and asks if we are all okay with this. We all tell him that we are. He says good and that if for some reason Cass can't Turn her he could. I raise my eyebrow. Sam says in our link, "Sorry Snow White, I wasn't ready to believe it but I am now. I
am The Shifter King and you are my Queen." I kiss him softly. We were all made for each other. Did my mother make their souls for me before she was killed? Whether she did or didn't, I am extremely thankful.
