LOGIN“What?” The word left his mouth as fast as Terry's. His eyes moved back to Jace whose guilty gaze averted his almost immediately, the little scratch behind his neck giving him all the answers to his questions. He knew Jace was human, but as someone who could treat dragons… not so much trust in that.“Where's the kid?” Jace dragged tiredly while facing May. “I need to get some sleep already.”“He's upstairs, I'll take you there.” May made her way up the stairs and the others followed him. Lucas was about to follow suit when he rushed over and dragged him back.“Hey, what's going on?” He asked in a whisper. “That's Jace, you know?”“Crazy right, I almost didn't recognize him.” Lucas shook his head, completely missing his point.“No, I mean, is May sure that he's the specialist? Are you sure it's him and not someone else, how did you even get him to come out of hiding?”“Trust me, I wish I knew the answer to that. At first, he didn't agree to meet up with May for hours and we stood on
Lucas took his time to boot up. “...what?!”“I know.”“Hold on, you kissed him or he kissed you? Those are two different things you know.”“I do… and actually, he kissed– Kyle. But I didn't stop him.” He confessed with a wince and then let out a huge sigh. “I don't know what came over me, and that is why I need someone to set me straight before I lose myself.”“Calm down, Theo. It was just a one time accident.”“Actually, a two time accident.”Lucas stared at him and he knew it was the stare he always got before his requested punch came in. His eyes fell shut as he braced himself, but he was surprised to hear Lucas sigh right before the gentle ruffle in his hair followed.“I can't hit you for that,” Lucas said gently. “I would say you did mess up for not getting him right but I also don't know what could've happened to you with Dylan in that situation. So I won't hit you.”He tried to speak.“But if this happens again a next time, then you better not let me find out because I will bea
Theo sat still on the ground, his eyes stuck on Dylan who still hadn't morphed back, and his ears picking up May's fuming words on the phone with Aaron.“Th-that… BITCH! I hate her! I hate her so much, I don't know what to do. I can't leave Kyle with her, he's only going to remain a mess if he doesn't find out the truth.”Her words made him exhale tiredly. It was literally one thing after the other, just when they were close to getting somewhere, something else showed up to block their path. And each day Kyle's absence grew on them, with Dylan only drifting off further.“Hey, guys! We finally found you.” Lana's voice came in as they hurried up to them without a problem with the darkness. He had called them up for a change of clothes for Dylan, if they were to step out of the woods it surely wouldn't be in their current clothes.“We got the clothes,” Terry followed behind her. “Just how far did you guys go?”“Are you two okay?” Lana asked, her eyes scanning May who gave back a tired
"L-lemons?" May spared him a double take glance before going with the last chance Dylan might let her have, before he gets her head. "Lemons."She whispered to herself before sending a message to the ground. He caught the whiff of the lemon scent he anxiously hoped was right. For a moment, they both watched Dylan stand still without a reaction, his eyes on them like he was still waiting for the trick that had long been at play."Why isn't he reacting?" he found himself mutter lowly to May.Then he found out he had only spoken too soon.The flickering gold took a light green as both colors fought in Dylan's eyes for a while. When he still wasn't sure if it was a good sign or not, his body jolted in shock as it only took a second for Dylan's eyes to roll up his eyes and his body to slump down to the ground."Dylan?" he shot up to his feet and was about to dash over to him."Don't go any closer!" May cautioned, freezing his legs. Her eyes still remained fixed on Dylan as she added, "Not
He swallowed.The piercing gaze questioning him gave him no space to run or hide.“RIGHT HERE,” Dylan's hands grabbed his shirt and took a slow, deep inhale of it. “THIS SMELLS LIKE YOU.”He pursed his lips and shut his eyes regrettable. This wasn't the situation he and Lana thought would play out when Kyle's clothes got into the picture. He was surely about to get in trouble. Dylan pulled back, then his eyes met his again. He saw his gaze lower down to his neck, and his body jolted slightly at the touch of Dylan's fingers sliding over the back of his neck.“HERE ON THE OTHER HAND,” Dylan let out softly, his head getting pulled in with the hold behind his neck until Dylan got a sniff of his bare neck. “IT SMELLS DIFFERENT… AND IT PISSES ME OFF.”His eyes melted up. Dylan's whisper in his ear had his mind grow weak… for a reason he was ashamed to admit. Get your fucking head together Theo, he inhaled the reasoning leaving him and raised his hands to get some control over the situatio
“Lucas,” his mom's eyes lit up. “Where's Dylan?” “Dylan, he's…” he paused, stealing a glance at Terry and Lana. “He's currently out with Theo, what's wrong? May…when did you arrive?”“That's not important,” she waved off like there was something more essential at the moment. “Where did they go?”She asked while he found himself losing another conversation.“You guys were right,” his mom turned to Lana and Terry in a flush. “You were right about Kyle being with Heralis.”“Really?” They all stepped forward with excitement rushing up his chest instantly.“I-is he okay?” Lana couldn't hide her concerned tone.“Is he hurt?” Terry joined in.“Hold on, how do you know that mom?”“May said so, she said she's just left the courtroom and Kyle was there, but…”“Kyle can't get himself together,” May finished up.“What's that supposed to mean?”“His mate,” May looked genuinely worried through her hesitation. “...Kyle thinks his mate is– dead… is that true?”His head shook up through his heightene
