Chapter Thirteen – Kain

“How do I look?”

Rupert stood in front of Kain, in a borrowed tux. Borrowed from Bas, who was on his mountain somewhere and would never know it had been worn by a magical being. Not for the first time, or the last, did Kain expect to wake up any moment, and find this had all been a dream.

That thought shook him to his core. If it was a dream, that meant he would still be lonely, and he wouldn’t have Marra in his life. Yes, they’d gotten off to a rocky start, she’d shaken his belief system to the core, for sure, but the more he came to know her, the more he could picture their lives together.

Which meant after tonight, when the ball was over and Naomi had her happy ever after, he would have to fulfill his promise to her and devise a way to get back her wand. How? He had no idea. But he was a lawyer, he’d think of something. Something that didn’t mean either of them doing a spell in jail. He wanted to them to be together every waking moment, not separated by concrete walls and wire fences.

No, some way or another, he would get into the DeVere mansion, and get back the wand.

“I said, how do I look?” Rupert asked again, in his gruff voice.

“Like a…” Kain cocked his head on one side and looked at Rupert. “I’ve got nothing. You look like nothing I’ve ever seen before.”

Rupert slapped Kain on the shoulder. Hard. “Great. That’s the look I was going for. Unique. Connie won’t be able to resist.”

“I think you’re right.” Kain pulled his jacket on, and adjusted his tie in the mirror, hoping Marra would feel the same way about him. Irresistible. That’s what Marra was to him and his bear.

“Should I take flowers?” Rupert asked. He smoothed his hair down, but it sprung right back up again. Kain grinned. Rupert had scrubbed up well, and the suit fitted him perfectly, yet he still didn’t look slick. He looked rough, and rugged, and like he knew how to get up to no good.

“I’m sure Connie would appreciate that,” Kain said. “I’ve never met a woman who doesn’t like flowers.”

“Good, then I’ll stop on the way.” He headed to the door of Kain’s apartment, where he’d come to get ready. Kain had no idea where Rupert came from, or where he lived. Did all magical beings live unseen amongst them?

Like many shifters do, his bear reminded him.

True, Kain agreed.

“We’ll meet you there. In the parking lot.” Kain was going to pick up Marra and Naomi; they were getting dressed at Marra’s place. Marra said they would be able to wear a couple of the vintage dresses from the shop. After Kain had collected them, they were going to pick up Ron, who was coming along for moral support, and to be Naomi’s plus one. Since Marra and Kain, and Rupert and Connie were couples, it would be odd for Naomi to be alone at the party.
