Chapter Fourteen

Deacon

“Yes, I know it’s New Year’s Eve, Butterberry,” I said into my phone as I made my way through the empty, dark halls. “I had to come by. Silas called.”

“Fine,” she grumbled in my ear. “But don’t be late for the party. I want to arrive together.”

I smiled. “You got it, love. I’ll call you as soon as I’m done.”

She sighed. “I had you to myself for too many days in a row, I’m not used to this anymore.”

My heart fluttered and the smile that spread across my face would’ve been a spectacle if anyone else was around to see it. She killed me with little comments like that. “We’ll be together again soon, gotta go now. Love you.”

“Love you, too,” she said softly then hung up.

I shoved my phone in my back pocket and hurried to my office at SOMA. When I threw the door open, I found the lights were already on. I stepped inside and was greeted by a wall of a dude. Silas. “Oh, shit.”

“Sorry.” He stepped back. “Come in.”

I walked in and found four teenage boys inside…and Landy hiding behind Silas. “Landy! Hello again! How are you?”

She smiled. “Better.”

Silas cleared his throat. “Sorry to be short with you, but I need to get back to Issale. Koth is extremely concerned about Lilith and the Duenill potential for retaliation.”

“That’s understandable. What can I do for you?”

Silas gestured to the teenage boys. “These four are fourteen or fifteen years old and therefor part of our training program before they officially join the Guard, but they are one of us.”

“Shifters, right.”

“No.” Silas shook his head. “Dragons. Koth wants them to attend school here until further notice, but they must remain a secret and no one can know they’re dragons besides you.”

Wow. I nodded. “Not a problem. We’ll get them set up in a dorm then assign some classes and such. No big deal. Hello, gentlemen. I’m Deacon English.” I waved.

Silas grabbed my left arm and pointed to my Mark. “Deacon is in The Coven. He is their Devil. His soulmate is the Empress. You will show good behavior and treat them with as much respect as you do me and your king. Do I make myself clear?”

I gulped, even though he wasn’t talking to me and I wasn’t in trouble.

The four boys nodded without hesitation.

“Good.” Silas let go of my arm and glared at them. “You are not civilians. You were blessed with the dragon gene, and you will act as such. The Guard has a zero-tolerance policy, don’t make me come back here because of your bad behavior. Understand?”

DAMN. He meant it, too. I was sure glad my boss only looked as menacing as Silas. Tennessee was terrifying, but he was a big old teddy bear to the people he cared about. Which fortunately, somehow, included me. But as they nodded, I took a second glance at these four boys and got the impression this toughness was necessary. They looked wild and hot tempered. I felt the fire in their lungs and the harshness of their desires.
