It felt like being at show-and-tell, except Moss was the one introducing Ruby. And some of her fellow students were a wee bit odd. The air in the classroom felt as if it were strangling her; the students were judging her, and at the moment, their verdict seemed very unfavorable. It made Ruby close herself off, and Moss felt it straight away. They hadn't spoken about the scene he walked in on, and a part of Ruby was confused by this too. The happy-go-lucky best friend she'd spent time with almost every day for the past year was gone, and this serious old man, Moss, had taken his place. And as for this being the final class for the day, there wasn't even a teacher in here.Someone bumped into her, and Ruby felt herself begin to spiral. Spinning around to confront whoever knocked into her, Ruby stopped in her tracks instead as she locked eyes with someone who had the same coloured eyes as her. "Sorry, I'm incredibly clumsy most of the time." The boy grinned, holding out his hand for Ruby

Niamh couldn't help but go slack-jawed as Ruby came back out to the car, carrying damn near her entire closet. She smiled as the boot popped open; Ruby shoved her gear in and closed it, then opened the car door again. "Do you want to get out of town for the day? I know a nice hiking trail just outside of town, and the pond at the bottom of the waterfall is beautiful for swimming. Damn, I should have asked: can you swim?"Niamh cracked the loudest laugh she could, smiling at a private joke before she answered, "I can swim like a fish, and I know the place you're talking about; it's Siren Springs, and today would be perfect for a swim."Ruby nodded her head and flashed Niamh a grin of approval as she buckled her seatbelt. "Let's go!" And before she knew it, she was singing along to Candy Shop on her way to the perfect day with a new friend.2.It was breathtaking, and Ruby felt a sense of déjà vu as she hopped out of the car, having taken off her shoes as soon as she could. The greenery

I failed. Now, as I waited in my room, I went back over things to see where it all went wrong. It should have been easy to snatch the human girl. It was her first period at the Academy; she didn't have her mate's powers yet. Mossimus was distracted, so how could it have gone so wrong? Granted, I didn't think that the hulk of a dragon shifter would hurl himself through the window with Ruby over his shoulder like a caveman — crazy son of a bitch. And then the other three hunted me while Mossimus threw his magic every which way but Sunday. I was almost pulverized by an enemy-seeking, non-student death ray before I managed to escape the room. It was absolute anarchy, and scary as all hell trying to sneak back to my room and regroup. Not that my master would accept that.The only ace in the hole I had was the foresight to enroll in the Academy last year, which built my story and cemented my identity, so I had the element of surprise on my side when Ruby turned eighteen, and the prophecy beg

It took Ruby a few more times to accept that her human world was a lie. And that her best friend was magic in physical form.The hellhounds behaved like excited puppies, even in their true form, and chased their tails to garner a laugh from their favorite person."Do it again." Like a kid in a candy shop, Ruby clapped her hands as Mossimus walked through the air, his feet walking up imaginary steps as he touched the ceiling and came back down. "Show me something else. Is everyone here magic? Why am I here? DO I have magic?" So many questions as Ruby searched through a world so recently opened to her. She raced to her window and looked outside. Instead of the quiet atmosphere she'd walked into, there were students EVERYWHERE.The huge Elm tree at the edge of the courtyard held houses the size of Ruby's hand, and fairies flitted from branch to branch in a city all their own. Excitement swirled in every cell of her body, and when Moss sat down on the couch again, she had one thing to say

Sometimes it was hard to be the last of his kind, and Talon stepped away from the window, flicking his cigarette into the ashtray. In his lounge, a few other shifters were gaming on the big screen or indulging in other pleasures, but he felt distant from it all. He was the only one who hadn't spent time with Ruby yet. At first he didn't mind, but as the days had gone on and the threat to her life became more apparent, he wanted to know her before everything changed.Talon was possessive by nature; his eagle demanded it, but wolves and dragons did, too. The only one who shouldn't struggle with jealousy was the succubus; Caleb seemed to be the exception, though, if his crazy spiderweb hiding spell was any indication. That must have taken some wickedly strong magic to keep Ruby hidden right under their noses. Now Mossimus was even more protective of her.According to the Elven king, they were to take turns with Ruby; each would get an afternoon with her, and then they would hang out as a
