Beneath me, I can see Levi keeping up with us. Being a sea dragon, he can't fly like Knox and I, but it doesn't seem to slow him down. The guy has more muscles than he knows what to do with, but he also doesn't seem to be having any better luck than I am at searching for survivors... I might have to admit defeat and give up... But I really don't want to.But then, I hear a noise. It's not much, more like a low groan of pain, but it's enough. It's a sign of life and that's all I need!Flame screeches and dives for the noise. I see him! He's covered in burns and debris, but he's moving... sort of. He's breathing... that is something.I land and shift back. Unfortunately I don't have a spare pair of clothes, but I don't really care about my modesty right now. I'm too worried about the boy currently in pain half hidden beneath a burned board.I kneel down over a boy about my age. The poor guy has blood pouring from his head and he looks like he got hit by an explosion... but he's alive! I

By the time we get back to my place, Kody has fallen asleep again, and is snuggled up on my lap. His snores are adorable! I'm not surprised he fell asleep. He's got to be going through hell, trying to heal himself. I don't know how fast skinwalkers recover, but I'm guessing pretty close to most other shifters.I brush his hair out of his face. I'd given him the pain pill about 2 hours ago, and it helped him fall into a peaceful rest. I can't help the smile that fills my face. We found him. He's safe. We'll take care of him and integrate him into our community. It will be great!A sudden snarl startled me and I look up to see a seething Levi, holding the door open. Despite his looks, he takes Kody in his arms and gently carries him into my house. What was that all about? I hadn't done anything wrong! Why was Levi so upset?"You can put him on my bed," I suggest. He can't go on Knox's bed... I'm guessing he's got plans with Nadia later and wont want to give up his bed to another male. A

"Because I don't like the way you were smiling at Kody. He doesn't deserve to have you smile at him so sweetly..." he grumbles, leaning into me, rocking his hardness against me. "Phoebe you are-"Before Levi could finish his thought, a knock at the door startles us, freezing us in place. However we don't move from our positions. I can feel Levi's frustration running through me as my own.I can hear Leviathan growl lowly as Levi tightens his hold on me. I guess he isn't done with me, and he's just waiting for whoever it is behind the door to leave before he can finish what we started."Lee?" my brother's voice comes through the door. I almost groan. What the hell does he want and can he come back later? Like.. maybe tomorrow? Is he going to steal Lee from me?"Yeah? What's up?" Levi ask, his voice deeper than normal. His eyes are still focused on my face. They flash to his beast, making me shiver in his hold."I was just wondering what you were doing in my sisters room?" he states.Lev

I look at his beautiful face and itch to trace it with my fingers. I never thought I'd wake up next to him. But I'm starting to ache to make this my new normal. I swear I'm turning into one of those sappy girls who have hearts in their eyes whenever some hot guy shows up in class! I'm almost annoyed with myself!"Levi?" I whisper. I'm not sure I want to wake him up, but what if we sleep in and everyone finds us in here together?I don't think I've ever seen him so relaxed as he is right now. He didn't even release me in his sleep. In fact, he has me pulled onto his chest. I can hear Leviathan practically purring. In response Flame is cooing like a love bird."I don't want to wake up, Phoebe. I don't want to have to open my arms and let you go... Not when I'm not supposed to claim you yet," he groans. He pulls me closer and cuddles me in his arms. I never knew I'd love to be cuddled! But I'm starting to think this is one of my new favorite things.Wait a minute! What did he just say? C

Levi walked with me to school, but before we reached the entrance, he pulled me to the side. I had a feeling I knew what he was going to tell me. I'd seen him cursing on his phone earlier this morning and sending texts to the guard. It doesn't take a genius to know he can't stay with me today."Phoebe, I want more than anything to go in there with you, but I got a message from the Council asking me to come in. They need my help with something," he says, pulling me into his arms. I can feel his frustration rolling off him in waves as he holds me tight.I wish I could do something to ease his nerves. I don't understand why he is so nervous, but I can feel it has something to do with me. He is just really reluctant to leave me... and I'm kinda in the same boat.I shouldn't be disappointed. I'm not! I know he's got work to do! What did I expect? For him to stop everything and come hang out at high school with me? The guy should be going to college classes! (Well, he is. He's just taking t
