Chapter Seven

Ascream filled with pain echoed through the house. Gus’s head jerked around as he listened, and his hands froze where he buttered his toast. “Tible!” He whispered his mate’s name as he glanced out the window and took in the pink streaks of dawn over the horizon.

Pivoting on the ball of his foot, Gus turned and raced across the dining room. He barreled down the stairs and slammed into Tible’s room. His eyes widened as his gaze swept the area. When he didn’t see Tible, he focused on the human kneeling on the floor. “Who are you? What have you done with my mate? Where’s Tible?” he roared, stalking toward the man.

The human lifted his head. White hair fell over his shoulders and down his back, revealing his face. Scared pale gray eyes stared up at him. “Gus,” the man whispered.

Gus’s eyes widened in shock, and he dropped to his knees in front of the man. “Tible?” A deep inhale of the human’s scent confirmed Gus’s confused question. This man was his mate. He was Tible.

“What’s happened to me?” Tible reached out a hand toward Gus. His fear permeated the room. Gus quickly snaked out a hand and pulled his mate against him, tucking Tible’s head under his chin. “We’ll figure this out,” he promised, although he had no idea how they would. He threaded his fingers through the long, white strands that he loved so much and pressed a kiss to the top of Tible’s head.

“What’s going on?” Declan’s concerned voice came from the doorway.

Gus looked over his shoulder at the alpha, then shifted sideways so the wolf shifter could see Tible. Declan’s brows drew together. “Who is that?”

“It’s Tible,” Gus replied, still trying to soothe his shuddering mate. “Somehow, he’s become human.”

Declan strode swiftly into the room and dropped to one knee beside them. “By the gods! How could this happen?” He reached out a hand, but pulled it back when Tible cringed. Declan rose. “I’ll contact Caspian. See if he’s found other gargoyles, yet. Don’t worry. We’ll get to the bottom of this,” he assured.

Gus nodded and gave his alpha a worried look. “Could you—Could you have Lark take a look at him? Make sure it’s not something medical?”

The alpha nodded. “Of course. I’ll send him down.”

“Thank you,” Gus replied.

After Declan left, Gus urged Tible to sit on the bed. He grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around Tible’s shoulders. Cupping his mate’s jaw, he lifted the man’s human face. His heart broke when he saw the tears leaking from the corners of Tible’s eyes. “Hey, easy now,” he soothed. “It’ll be okay. You heard Declan. We’ll find out what happened.”

Tible blinked and sniffled. “How?”

“Caspian is a vampire. He has connections through the Vampire Council and should be able to find a gargoyle clutch that can give us answers,” Gus told him.

“My wings are gone,” Tible said sadly. “I liked it when you stroked my wings.”

“I’m sure they’re not gone for good,” Gus said, praying he wasn’t talking out of his ass.
