“Hey Enzo and hello their beautiful,” says the mysterious boy, winking at me. “You didn’t tell me your friend is very pretty Miranda.” “Umm, hi” I manage to get out. “Are you eating as well,” I ask. He tugs the corner of his lip into a smile as he is eyeing me. I all of a sudden feel very self conscious of my body. “If you’re serving I’ll definitely be eating. What is your name beautiful,” he asks. “My name is Davina. Do you need a menu,” I ask trying not blush. “I’ll have what ever Enzo is having,” he says with a smile. “Jack don’t be rude,” says Miranda. “Davina this is my cousin Jack. Ignore him, he can be such a flirt.” “You neglected to tell me how gorgeous your friend is Miranda,” says Jack while staring at me. “You said that already Jack,” says Miranda rolling her eyes. “Davina I’ll have the usual,” Enzo says laughing at his friend. “Me too,” says Miranda. “Coming right up,” I reply. I am blushing and quickly walk away to hide it. The moment I bring the new ticke

“Finding anything incriminating,” she laughs. “Nope, he appears to be clean just like his cousin. The wolves found nothing in his record of concern and nothing in his car is of concern either,” I inform her. “Good. Davina needs to have some fun and go out. I’m glad she’s super smart and does well in school but she has been missing out on being a teenager. Besides we’ve never had any concerns about Miranda. For a human she has a good head on her shoulders. Maybe that has rubbed off from her cousin. He seems responsible and quite smart,” says Isla. She is right. Being that Jack had fast tracked like Davina and has been already attended college did give me a feeling like he is a responsible young man. “I know you’re right. I’m just worried about her seal and us failing her by allowing the wrong person around Davina,. We can’t lose her too,” I reply. “I know Daniel. Me too.” We then go back inside and I try distracting myself by watching tv. I flip through the channels before settli

“What is it Thierry?” He looks at me with confusion and then looks back at the parchment thinking he missed something. “Dimitri, it’s my family. My family has the lycan gene.” “Does the book say how to tell who has the gene or if it’s all of you and your children?” He is really getting excited. This is the closest we’ve ever come to figuring out who has the gene. “I don’t know. I didn’t get that far in the book. Give me a second.” I grab the book and read further to see if it says anything else about it. “From what the book says, the person with the gene will not know they have it until an event to trigger it happens. I would say we all have the gene and it has to be triggered.“ “Does it say how to trigger it?” “It says in times of danger or great loss. Their life has to be seriously threatened and almost to the brink of death for the gene to trigger or someone close to that person dies and not just of old age, a horrific death. I don’t like either of those.” I don’t want any o

My head is spinning from all the information dad has just thrown at us and he hasn’t even touch on any of the battles yet. Shifters tend to be quite loyal so why did so many abandon their families? It makes no sense. I wonder if they are being tricked by a lie. Or they are greedy and somehow someone discovered how to extend their life when killing a silver dragon. I have so many ideas and questions running through my head. I snap my attention back to dad’s lesson, I need to keep up. “The second silver dragon was killed three months after the first along with four other dragons. Not only were silver dragons coming up dead but now other dragons were dying. We didn’t know if it was because they were present when the silver dragon was attacked or because of a whole different reason. There were originally ten silver dragons alive at the time and now we had eight. Fairy’s were concerned but did not get involved. They are not warriors and they were using their magic to protect the creatures

I lock up and head home around eight. As I get to the Jeep I have this weird feeling someone is watching me and I look down the ally way. I don’t see anything but the hair on my neck is standing up. I quickly get in the Jeep and lock the doors. I turn on the KC lights and point them down the ally. Still nothing. I let it go and head home. On the drive home I swear the car behind me is following me until it turns down a street not far from home. I am definitely getting paranoid. When I get home I see my parents have settled on the couch to watch a movie, The Notebook for the thousandth time. I giggle. I say a quick goodnight to my parents and decide to head upstairs to read a book. I get to my room, put my bag by my desk and go to my closet to retrieve my pajamas. I do my nightly routine. I brush my teeth, floss and wash my face. I climb into bed and pull out The Witcher book I have been reading. I must have fallen asleep quickly as I start having a weird dream about dragons. There a
