Mated (Mortal, Book Two)
"Igor said you would meet me at the docks."
"We didn't see you there." I press my hand to my side, where there's a painful stitch.
Something blue and tiny emerges from Chuck’s pocket and jumps onto his shoulder. My mouth drops open, and I point at it, flabbergasted.
“There … there’s …”
The little creature, who I now see is humanoid and with wings, chitters at me like a bird.
Chuck looks down at his shoulder. “That’s Nenee.”
I glance at Alec, but he doesn’t seem to care one bit about the little creature. He’s too busy looking over his shoulder, scoping out the area around us.
