CHAPTER THIRTEEN

After spending a couple more minutes telling Ashley and Serena a few jokes about himself, Jax leaned forward and dropped his voice to a dramatic whisper, “Do you want to know what you are, Ashley? I'm a bear shifter, and bear shifters are pretty awesome. But you are something waaayyy more awesome than a bear shifter.”

“More awesome than you?” Ashley sounded dubious but Jax saw the excitement and hope in her eyes.

“Uh-huh. You—are a very, very special kid, Ashley. In fact, I think you're the coolest kid in Shadow Point.”

Ashley crawled forward on the bed and stared at him. “What am I?” she asked breathlessly.

Jax glanced at Serena who was sitting at the edge of the bed and looking worriedly at him. He gave her a reassuring smile and turned to Ashley, “Are you ready for this?”

“Yes!” Ashley shouted, bouncing on the bed.

“You—are half human, half fire demon.”

Ashley's eyes widened and she turned to her mother. “What is that? Is that good or bad, Mummy? I heard some of the kids say that demons are evil. I...I don't want to be a demon.”

“Honey, you're not evil,” Serena said at once. “And it doesn't matter what you are. It's who you are that's important. You have some very special powers, Ashley. You used your powers to save me, remember? You are my hero!” Serena kissed the top of her head. “I'm so proud of you.”

Ashley bit her lip and said, “I don't want the other kids to stop playing with me. I just want to be normal.”

“Why would you want to be normal, when you can be awesome!” Jax said, slapping both hands over his heart and staring at Ashley with an awestruck, adoring expression.

Serena's smile broadened. “Uncle Jax is right. You are awesome!”

“The other kids don't think so,” Ashley said, looking down.

Jax held Ashley's shoulder and looked her in the eye. “Listen, Ashley. Would you consider coming to the Shadow Point kindergarten? Shadow Point has a great kindergarten. All kinds of kids go there. There are human kids, shifter kids, fae kids...”

“Do they have demon kids?” Ashley asked.

Jax took a deep breath. “Not yet.”

“So they won't like me,” Ashley mumbled.

“No. That's not true. That's not true at all,” Jax said fervently. “Hey, Ashley. I'm going to tell you something about myself. It's not a big secret or anything, but it's just something that used to bother me a lot as a kid.”

Ashley and Serena both looked up at him.

“I can't hear at all out of this ear,” Jax said, tapping his right ear. “When I was six, a bad man hit me so hard he damaged my ear permanently. He was a bear tamer, and he captured Joshua and me after killing our mother. He trapped us in a cage and forced us to perform in a circus. He was cruel and brutal, and he tortured and starved us. Joshua and I would have died but Marcus saved us. Marcus was working in the circus then and he saw us being beaten savagely.
