Henry

Henry paced in the library, his mind working overtime to process what they’d learned. Sawyer slept, peacefully, for the first time in… Henry honestly didn’t know how long. Their mates surrounded him, including the new guy. Draco had pretty much parked Dakota in a chair on the other side of the room and snarled at him until he sat there, but he’d stayed. Henry had a sneaking suspicion that Dakota could leave any time he wanted.

He’d seen the new guardian’s animal form as he ran out of the woods, and unlike the others, he knew exactly what it meant. There was a reason Dakota could move freely in and out of the wards. There was a reason he wasn’t affected by magic the same way they were. Honestly, Henry had actually believed that the legends were just that. Legends. Myth. Stories told that really had no basis in the magical world they lived in. Not all of the myths were real. Not all creatures actually existed. Some of them were simply analogies, created by humans to explain some mysterious thing or another that they didn’t understand. Dakota’s existence seemed too fantastic, even in a realm of dragons and hippocamps, in a world where Henry himself could do magic and was mated to the son of a god.

But no. Dakota existed.

The door to the library opened.

“I’m fine,” Henry said without even glancing that way.

“I never doubted it.”

He turned to find Loch standing in the entry, watching him. “Go back to Sawyer. He needs you.”

“Our mate is well-tended.”

“Well, I’m fine.”

“I see that you are.”

Henry returned to his pacing, letting his thoughts consume him once more. If Loch wanted to stand watch over him, so be it.

“Henry,” Loch said gently, “there is something I wish to speak to you about.”

Henry sighed. “I haven’t figured it out yet.”

Loch tilted his head in that curious way he did when he didn’t quite understand. “You haven’t?”

“Of course not. I need to think everything through. I mean, we clearly had it all wrong. Sawyer’s not what I thought and that means… It doesn’t mean anything good for me, I can promise you that.”

“Oh. Yes. Sawyer clearly has power over metal. But that isn’t what I wished to speak to you about.”

“It isn’t?”

“No.”

“Oh.” Henry stopped pacing long enough to look. Loch’s blue hair glimmered in the light. His blue eyes sparkled, even when they were as serious as they were in that moment. “What is it?”

“Draco… Draco says romance is important to mates. He gave me one of your question-answer seekers and I have been attempting to learn how humans prefer to be romanced. I wish to romance my mates, but I am unfamiliar with the ways of humans.”

It took him a second to process. The whole question-answer seeker had Henry puzzled most. Then it dawned on him. “Draco gave you a tablet?”

“Yes. To discover more about human romance.”

“You want to talk about romance. Now? Right now?”

Loch shrugged. “You can continue to wear a hole in the carpet, worrying about things we cannot know the answers to yet.
