Chapter 10

“Here, have a beer,” Bo said, handing Javier his favorite domestic brand.

“Thanks, brother.” Javier popped the top off, grateful for the drink. He’d come to Montana at the request of his brothers so he’d be with them for Christmas. It didn’t hurt that he got to see some of the dragons he’d become friends with over the last couple years either.

For the majority of his life he’d been different, had never fit in anywhere because of his half-demon, half-fucked-up-hybrid status. With wolf and jaguar genes, he only shifted to wolf—or demon. But that jaguar gene was still there. He didn’t know of any other being like him.

But a couple years ago he discovered that he had half-brothers and a half-sister when they’d rescued him from Hell, more or less. Not the real Hell, but the prison in that Hell realm had been just as bad. After that, he’d met all sorts of supernatural beings and realized that he was definitely not alone, and there was much more to the world than he’d originally thought.

Some days it was strange to think he had family and friends who knew what he was and accepted him. And then some days he found it hard to accept himself. Not because he didn’t like what he was, but he sometimes simply felt broken. Shaking off that thought when Nyx, Bo’s mate, sidled up next to him and linked her arm through his, he smiled down at the adorable half-fae demigod.

“What’s got you down on Christmas Eve?” she asked, frowning. Of average height, her eyes were ocean blue and she was slender and fragile-looking—though she was anything but delicate. As the daughter of the goddess of Chaos, she had a lot of powers hidden in a small package. “It’s a time to celebrate, especially with Victoria being awake and a new baby here.”

While he adored her, he wasn’t opening up to her tonight. “Nothing’s got me down, I promise.” He took a swig of his beer and grinned at the semi-dark look Bo shot him.

Bo was ridiculously protective of his mate, and even two years ago he wouldn’t have allowed Javier to touch her at all. Not even in a friendly gesture. Supernatural creatures, especially half-demons, could get very territorial. But Bo was apparently evolving.

“Cynara says you were flirting with some of the girls from the bar,” Bo said, moving next to them and practically dragging Nyx to his side and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “Are you seeing someone now?”

Okay so maybe his brother wasn’t evolved at all. Javier couldn’t imagine being so obsessed with a female that he acted like his brothers did. They were all fucking barbarians where their mates were concerned. “Our sister is incorrect. But she’s probably telling you that to cover the fact that she’s been getting chummy with a certain vampire.”

Across the high-top table, Cynara shot daggers at him with her eyes. “You know what they say about snitches, don’t you?”

“Snitches get stitches!” Nyx shouted out, clearly proud of herself, probably simply for knowing the human idiom.
