Chapter Nine

Pretending to be asleep, Pippa listened intently as male voices rose and fell in an intense discussion of the impact that the existence of other shifters would have on the shiften of Serenity. A mature voice, belonging to a man with masterful control, put great emphasis on the difference of the words shiften and shifter, the importance reiterated by thoughts and words of the dragen and wolven in the room. It was obvious they were used to ruling the roost and were not about to let anyone upset the balance they worked so tirelessly to maintain.

The word ‘demon’ entered their conversation, like a stink bomb being thrown in a girl’s locker room. Unfortunately, it conjured the image of the guy with dark hair, weird eyes and a voice that set her nerves on edge in Pippa’s mind, as well.

Look at that, my very own stink bomb. This day just keeps getting better and better…

Her blood boiled and the palms of her hands heated as flames threatened to fly from her fingertips from the visions of the day Jason died replaying in her mind. Pippa saw the same asshole, his eyes flashing from blue to yellow as he incinerated her best friend and an innocent child with no more than the snap of his fingers.

Refusing to be dragged down her very own version of Memory Lane, Pippa instead focused on the fight at the Serenity city limits. The friggin’ jerk had appeared out of nowhere when she was trying to take a picture of the amazing bear statue, acting like he owned the world and she was trespassing.

There was no mistaking the threat in his tone and the menace in his dirty yellow eyes. Fear, the paralyzing kind that left her freezing from the inside-out, like ice water had replaced the blood in her veins, swamped Pippa. She’d been sure she was about to die, literally was whispering the Prayer of the Dead Sister Mary Margaret had taught her…then Fury burst onto the scene.

Never one to be a shrinking violet, always refusing to back down from a fight, Pippa was abruptly introduced to the feeling of helplessness that only comes from being outmanned and overpowered. She’d stayed where her dragon commanded and watched in awe as he fought the demon and saved her curvy ass with a strength she’d only ever imagined. Of course, she went all fluffy and feminine and fainted, just more proof of her crazy luck.

Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound. Shep always said there was a proper lady somewhere deep inside me, I’ll have to remember to tell him I got a ‘case of the vapors’. Crap, I never called him back. Way to go, Pip. Oh well, I’ll get to it, and I’ll be leaving out the part where my man, a dragon, saved the day. Lordy, Maudie, if this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up…

With her hands and body hidden by a soft cotton throw, Pippa lightly pinched the skin next to her bellybutton, to be sure she was truly awake.
