1.) He knows what you are. Senses your magic.

2.) He probably doesn’t want to kill you. Not until he knows what you want.

I inhaled through my nose and nodded. He lifted his fingers just enough to uncover my lips. I knew what I had to do to survive. This was our only chance.

“Back down, beast.” My command sailed through the air with complete authority.

Lorcan exhaled a rumble that shook the cobblestone, his shoulders riding up to his ears, his form growing in height and bulk.

“Now,” I ordered, the condescension thick, smacking him in the face. He didn’t move, and the air clotted with tension. Please, Lorcan. My eyes begged him.

He huffed, shaking his head, he took a step back. His irises stayed vertical but went back to green. A reddish-green, but I would take it.

“He is exceedingly protective of me.” I swallowed, talking over the knife cutting at my skin. “But I still need to get better control of him. We’re both a work in progress.”

“Really?” the bearded man snipped. “Because the magic coming off you is extraordinary, so don’t lie to me. I can feel your power.”

“Look, I just found out what I was. Discovered my real parents were murdered in the war.” All truths. “I don’t even know who they were. I was raised by humans.”

“Sounds like your story, Major,” Adam said.

Major grunted at his partner, pulling me more firmly against him.

“If you’re so new, then how can you already control a dark fae? He is powerful; I can tell.”

“I know the important tricks to survive on the street. Alone.” I forced a smile to curve my mouth. “Not like they are good for anything else.”

“You seemed awfully cozy with it the other night.” Major rewrapped his arm across my body. Lorcan’s eyes shaded red.

“We can’t play with our toys?” Raven had taken over, committed to her part.

Major snorted, twisted with derision. “Why are you here?”

“I heard about the cause. I want to be part of it.”

“Don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Awen. I saw Adam’s tattoo. I know what it means. I want to join the fight.”

“I don’t think so.”

“I lost my family. They were butchered by the fae. I grew up not knowing what I was. But I could feel it, all my life, the fact I didn’t belong…I always felt different.” I swallowed, real anger sprouting in my gut. “I hate them. What they took from me. Since the barriers have fallen, I’ve been on the run because we are still being hunted. Killed. I want them to know how it feels to fear.”

Major shifted behind me, the knife ebbing slightly from my throat.

“I believe her, Major,” Adam muttered.

“Why, Wizard, because you think she’s hot?” He huffed at his friend. “A few tattoos and claims of dead parents and you’re all gooey. She’s not one of us. We trust no one.”

“But I am a Druid just like you, Major,” I replied, knowing the power of simply using someone’s moniker. “I’ve been searching for you guys. I don’t want to run anymore.
