Chapter Fifteen

CONSTANCE COULD HARDLY believe she hadn’t seen it sooner when she looked at Zeke. “Oh my goodness.” She shook her head and looked from Aodh to her dog. “Do you see it?”

“See what?” He shook his head as well. “I don’t see....”

“But you do,” she whispered when he trailed off. “You see the golden light that flickers in him every so often.”

“Like sunlight in darkness,” Aodh marveled, clearly seeing it now. He looked from Zeke to her in disbelief. “Is he...your guardian angel? That which saved your life?”

“It seems so.” Humbled, she dropped to her knees in front of Zeke and thanked him. He, in turn, looked at her as though startled by her actions. As if he had no idea what she was doing or talking about.

“I don’t think he’s the religious form of a guardian angel, sis.” Shannon crouched beside her and rested her hand on Constance’s shoulder. “Zeke’s more like a vessel of...love, I suppose. A spiritual creature who came back to watch over you.” She shook her head. “I don’t think he’ll ever respond telepathically like a familiar might. That’s not how guardian angels work when they return as animals.”

“So he’s my familiar then?” Constance wondered.

“I think so, but in a special sort of way.” Shannon smiled at Constance. “Then again, that was pretty obvious when he saved your life as a teenager...more so when you allowed him to.” She patted Zeke. “After that, he just kept getting through to you, didn’t he? Why else would you have named him Zeke, short for Ezekiel?” She arched a brow. “Also known as the Angel of Transformation.”

Constance bit her lower lip and fought back another wave of emotion before she frowned. “Are you telling me I ignored my guardian angel for days on end back in the twenty-first century? That he might have starved if your husband hadn't fed him? If Cian and Madison hadn't fed him after that?”

“I’m saying within Zeke exists a spirit that loves you.” Shannon squeezed her shoulder in reassurance. “That aside, let’s not forget you were protecting him from dragons, right?” She scrunched her nose and winked at Zeke. “Angel or not, I guarantee he thanks you for that because the dog in him has no desire to become a tasty dragon treat.”

As if responding, Zeke released a strangled little howl some might decipher as appreciation and started looking south again.

“Okay, boy.” She went to ruffle his head like she always did but paused when she realized how inappropriate that might be.

“Not inappropriate at all,” Shannon said, following her thoughts. She ruffled Zeke’s head instead and nodded at Constance in reassurance. “He’s still just a dog who loves attention and affection.” She grinned. “He’s just got a little something more to him than most.”

Shannon rubbed behind Zeke’s ear, where he liked it best, and went on. “When guardian angels choose to inhabit animals, they embrace what they become. Love what they are.” She shook her head. “Really, truly are what they become, only something that loves their person more truly.
