Chapter Twenty-Three

Shadowlight startled awake, but was still quick to accept the hot meat Anna handed him. He’d eaten his kills raw before, but found he liked them cooked better. He devoured his portion and looked around for more. A spurt of guilt assaulted him when both Anna and Greenborrow offered him half of theirs.

Anna gave her offering a little shake. “Take it. You’re three times the size of us and still growing. You need it.”

He took what they offered.

After his belly was full, his brain kicked in, and he realized he’d drifted off to sleep while their dinner had cooked. A wave of hot embarrassment swamped his body. So much for staying alert and keeping watch.

Wanting to at least sound more like an adult than a fat pup who had overslept, he asked, “What plan of action have we devised?”

Anna laughed, and he realized she could read his actual intent.

“The kid wants to know what he missed while he napped.” She ruffled his mane affectionately. He didn’t like that she’d embarrassed him in front of Greenborrow, but he did rather like the scratch behind his ears. He leaned into her fingers and forgave her earlier laugh at his expense.

“We talked some boring old history and then some adult conversation you’ll get to hear about in a few years,” Greenborrow winked at him.

Shadowlight’s curiosity spiraled up another three notches.

He rolled his eyes up at Anna.

“He told me about my new eyes and ears. Also a bit about gargoyle history, the other Fae, and why they won’t view a human—even with gargoyle blood running in my veins—as a friend. That’s about as far as we got.”

Oh, good. He hadn’t missed much then.

“I’ll help you hide her,” Greenborrow said as he picked up his knife and started carving his piece of wood. “You can’t keep her out in the open like she’s part of a zoo exhibit.”

Shadowlight felt his ears wilt, so he forced both them and his spine to straighten. “It was the best I was able to find given the time I had.”

“I’m not criticizing you, just saying it’s time to find a better lair. I just happen to know a good one.”
