I recognize them and the essence of their personalities I had a glimpse of. Taylor is shy but incorrigible and curious. She reminds me of Annaniah. Billy is straightforward and cynical. My visions of Zandra always come to mind when we speak.
Then there is Lee. She could be Yanique’s twin. Not only does she look like her to me, but they also have the same personality and drive. I like her.
“Here they come. Ugh, I can’t even think about him without him knowing and coming to me. I always feel like such a perv,” Taylor groans, bringing me from my thoughts once again.
I laugh to myself. I’m sure Kendrick is on his way over here because of my thoughts as well. With chiseled bodies like theirs, how are we not to think dirty thoughts?
Forget the fact that they have sweat dripping down those muscles and they’re showing off. I bite down on my lip as Kendrick saunters his way over to me. As he gets to me, he tugs me right into his arms.
“I will never get used to seeing you guys do that. I mean, it blows my mind every time,” I say as Kendrick wraps his arms around me.
I peek around him to look at the hologram figure, still trying to wrap my mind around how it’s possible. Before I can reach out and try to touch the avatar, Kendrick pulls him back in.
I frown and poke my lip out. I’m so curious about those giants. I know I’m like a kid trying to poke and prod at a new toy, but how can I not be?
“Your curiosity is endearing, but you do not need to poke at a shadow of me when you can touch the real thing,” Kendrick chuckles.
“What does it mean?” I ask.
“What does what mean?”
“The words you say before he appears.”
He kisses my forehead and squeezes his arms around me. “You will figure that out on your own,” he replies.
“How?”
“You’re my mate. There will come a time when you will master your powers and that will allow mine to yield to you. Someday, you will have your own form of transformation and you will understand the words to call it forth.”
“No way,” I gasp. “I’ll have my own guy?”
His head falls back as he laughs. When he looks back at me, mirth dances within his golden eyes. I love this look on him. Kendrick can be so serious at times.
“I don’t know if you will gain that skill. Remember what I told you. That ability is more from my father. But when you know your true strength in your heart, you will know the words.”
“Okay, let’s get back to work. I need to master this stuff so I can be a badass and have that glow.”
“That glow?” he says with amusement.
“Yeah, The Last Dragon. Oh wait, never mind. It’s a movie.”
“Bruce Leroy. I know of it.” He winks down at me.
“Seriously, you’ve seen it? You watch movies?”
“When you live as long as we have, you do a lot of human things to pass the time. Come, my little one. Bo staffs and then you can move to something else,” he laughs and releases me.
I roll my eyes. I’m so tired of sparring with these wooden sticks. I want to learn more about using my magic as a weapon.
“He is right. You need more discipline,” Venus sighs.
Poor Venus, she hasn’t really been up to helping. Although she shows up for me. I get it.
We don’t know for sure what happened to Knox. Kendrick has tried to reassure us both that he’s fine. I wish I could be as sure as he is.
Venus is heartbroken. Lee Ann is the sister she needs to spend time with to learn how to leave, but Lee Ann is the one with the most possessive mate.
Reilly is super protective. He keeps my sister by his side at all times. Venus wants to talk heart to heart with her.
I think I understand that. It’s only been two days. While I’m concerned about Knox, I trust Kendrick knows what he’s talking about. To be honest, I, too, feel as if he’s fine.
More magic, more secrets. I had a nanny who used to tell me all secrets come to light. I used to love that lady. I’m trusting in her words now.
The Seer
“This is it,” I say to Ray as I help her from the back of my bike and remove her helmet.
“The brownstone?” She points.
“Yes.” I scan her face. “Why do you look so disappointed?”
“I don’t know. She’s a seer. I was expecting something else.” She shrugs.
Venus has been pushing her way through all morning, demanding I find answers about our son. She should know better—I bend for no one. The only reason I’m bending to her demands now is because Ray looks exhausted.
