Chapter Nine

Theron leaned against the wall, watching the scene in front of him unfold. His quaint living room was full. With him, Thames, and Mason, the small space seemed even smaller. Add the three females, and it was a full house for sure.

Mirena paced a three step path from the end table to the kitchen and back, finger tapping her chin as she mouthed unheard words. She wore the same clothes he’d given her earlier, but she’d washed off his scent in the shower before the others arrived.

Theo smirked. It didn’t matter. What they’d done still clung to the air. The Sorcera were oblivious, but Thames had been staring a hole through him since he walked in.

Mason too.

Theron glanced across the room at the cougar shifter. He leaned against the opposite wall, arms crossed, seeming casual. But his stare didn’t feel competitive and he hadn’t looked at Mirena even once. In fact, he stood weirdly close to Adira’s side of the couch where she and Nastia sat, watching their sister gather her thoughts.

Theo marveled at how normal Nastia looked. He expected her new blood-drinker status to change her a little. Daybreaker is the name Adira had given her. Because she came out of the darkness, and was made of the light. But she was still proper, in her long sleeved dress, red hair done up high on her head. Her knowing eyes still looked at things critically, like everything was something to be learned.

Most of her changes were on the inside. She needed sunlight now. Like a battery, it kept her from weakening physically, kept her heart pumping, while the blood she consumed nourished her. And her body temp ran warmer now, so these remaining summer months were a challenge. She spent the hottest hours of the day deep in her and Thames’s cave on the mountain, only coming out in the evening to capture the remaining rays of sun. But she didn’t seem to mind the new challenges. She seemed happy. Fulfilled. As a mate should be.

Theo glanced at Thames.

His brother bear was doing good by her. And if Thames could overcome the Mother Bear’s reading and be a good mate, then he could do it too. He could make Mirena happy. Had done it already. He was determined to keep it up.

“Mirena, my dear. Please, why are we here?” Adira asked, doing her Dr. Seuss thing again. She frowned hard, shaking her head at the phrasing.

Nastia turned to stare at her. “I thought the rhyming wasn’t troubling you anymore,” she whispered, even though they could all hear.

“It started up again yesterday.” Adira shifted her gaze to Mason and then quickly away. But he was staring at the floor, the toe of his boot working at a scuff on the hardwood. “The reason why, I cannot say.”

Theo felt Mirena staring at him, and when he turned to look at her, she gave him a little determined nod. Like she was gearing up for one of her challenges.

“She’s worsening,” she said, her gaze swinging to her sisters.
