Chapter Six

Nolan felt much better as he and Donavan walked to the garage to meet Ethan. The headache that plagued him since he’d woke up had faded and he had a small buzz that always

came after drinking his mate’s magic infused blood. His steps were much lighter and he even allowed himself to admit that the new dwelling wasn’t too bad. It did have carpeting in places and the children and family units were now further away, so they didn’t have to worry about watching their language and stuff anymore.

As they walked into the huge bay that served as a garage, he almost laughed when he spotted Ian and Lachlan scrubbing a Range Rover. They were both covered in some kind of slimy looking substance and neither one of them appeared happy. Ian kept letting loose long strings of curse words, his upper lip curled into a snarl. Lachlan worked in silence, his mouth pressed into a tight grimace.

“What are they in trouble for?” Nolan asked,

not needing to be told they were assigned their

current task as punishment.

“They were out, playing around and blew up a

demon.” Donavan sighed, casting them a jaded

glare.

“Again?” Nolan blurted. He winced when

Donavan shot him a suspicious look.

“What do you mean, again? What have they

been up to?”

Nolan hedged, he’d only recently become on

friendly terms with Ian. The last thing he wanted

was to make things tense between them again. On

the other hand, he couldn’t very well keep things

from his mate either—his current illness aside. “They went out a couple nights ago and got

into a scuffle. From the sounds of it, that

encounter pretty much ended the same way it did

tonight, minus the slime,” Nolan admitted,

praying he didn’t get the pair in worse trouble. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Donavan

demanded angrily.

“Because I didn’t think it was a big deal. They

only blew up a couple ghouls. Nobody wants

those around, not even the demons who run this

city. They were probably grateful to Ian and

Lachlan.”

“What is it with them and blowing things up?”

Donavan spat as he shot a murderous look at the

pair. Ian flipped him off in return. Yeah, Nolan could really feel the love coming from that family. He couldn’t wait to see what Thanksgiving and Christmas would be with them around.

Nolan shrugged. “Ian said that with his powers partially bound, it’s the most efficient way to kill things.”

“Sad as it is, that’s true. Without our full magic, we can’t call on fire or something else that would be more…clean. However, any first level warlock would be able to blow something up.” Donavan smirked. “It must be killing Ian that he has to resort to that method, too. He’s always considered the spell so beneath him.”

Despite Donavan’s pleasure at this cousin’s predicament, Nolan knew the warlocks didn’t have any real malice for one another. With everything they’d gone through, the trio had always watched each other’s backs. Shit, the only reason that Ian and Lachlan had even agreed to join Ethan’s coven was because of Donavan.
