Chapter Seven

The wind under Ragan’s wings held his sleek draconic form aloft as he soared among the clouds far above the city of Los Angeles, his sharp eyes scanning the city below. Frustrated as he was, it annoyed him that life down below went on as usual. A flock of crow shifters glided a few hundred feet under him, the cars on the busy streets swarmed like ants, and the cries of other dragons from all corners of the city pierced the background noise while blending enough that humans couldn’t identify them. The cityscape usually calmed him, but he was at his wit’s end.

He’d searched for Elissa everywhere he knew to look, starting with her apartment, but no luck. Following her distinctive, spicy scent through backyards and alleyways, he knew she’d shifted and was on the prowl. Along the way, he caught the faint scent of another panther, one who’d passed by a while before Elissa. Had to be Cray Pardus, which meant she was out searching for her father. For a brief moment in time, he got excited at the prospect of tracking Elissa all the way to Cray, but his hopes were dashed when her trail led to a small river and then vanished. Whether she’d meant to or not, entering the river had effectively thwarted him.

Worry gnawed at his gut as he glided along on a warm zephyr. Trust was important to Ragan, and he had every reason not to trust Elissa. Yet he couldn’t bring himself to believe she’d had anything to do with the Bradford burglary. But he couldn’t shake the feeling she’d held something back, something she was afraid to share with him. If she didn’t trust him enough to come clean, why should he trust her? His brain told him he shouldn’t, but his heart argued otherwise.

Ragan called on his inner magic to keep his body cloaked and hidden from human eyes as he circled the landing pad atop the roof of the building housing Wildridge Security, making sure it was clear before starting a steady descent. Meant for helicopters, it worked perfectly for dragons as well. Dragon bodies were large and carried a lot of momentum, so when they landed on top of buildings, a lot of precision went into keeping them from jostling the whole structure and freaking out everyone inside.

After bringing his form up to a sweeping halt just before touching down, his hind legs kissed the ground at the same time he shifted back, and he jogged a few steps in human form, naked. He held his magic around him as he hurried inside the locker room and grabbed a fresh set of clothes from his locker before making his way to the Wildridge office.

Passing the big glass window of Mutts ‘N Stuff, he waved at Alice inside, relieved that half her inventory obviously wasn’t currently running amok inside Wildridge. Bellicent sat at her desk, as usual, staring at her screen and scrolling absently, as usual.

“Any calls?” Ragan asked as he entered, part of him hoping for the sliver of a chance that Elissa had called to touch base.
