Hop
“Hop?”
“Fine. Fine.”
One last look at the door and prayed his little round of lovemaking hadn’t screwed
up the laid-out plans. Didn’t think it would. Wasn’t like I’d planned on
sealing them together even more. My dragon side had taken over for a split
second, gaining what it’d been requesting since Cree’s eighteen birthday. Or right
after he healed from the sex change. That had been a major milestone is Cree’s
life. Us being sealed would be another one. One I couldn’t wait for. One I knew
Cree would accept willingly. Still, I shouldn’t have started the claiming
process. I could not complete the finalize the claiming process until he turned
twenty. Having the process in a status state for two years would be . . .
difficult, but doable.
Other
dragons did it. Mine hadn’t understood how dangerous doing so was. Hell, I hadn’t
either. My father and Charlie had been stead fast on Cree’s human image
remaining untarnished until the dragons were announced to the world. My father feared
the humans as viewing Cree’s point of view as being influenced by her husband. Apparently,
dating for five years didn’t provide enough devotion to the humans.
Charlie’s
thoughts strayed down another path. He didn’t want Cree pestered because of the
way his life would change once I claimed her. Seemed like most human women didn’t
allow their men to run the entire show. Male dragons had the final say on all
decisions. Some listened to their other half’s opinion, but most didn’t.
“Hop,
you okay?”
What a
loaded questions. I wasn’t okay with something threatening to take my man from
me.
Didn’t
need Charlie focusing on me more than Cree’s situation.
“Yes.”
“Then
why the worry vibes expanding the walls of the house.”
“I might
have - -“
“No
might have. You did. I feel it. Smell it. Even heard it.”
“Shit,
Charlie, please tell me this won’t mess up whatever plan my father came up
with.”
“You’re
lucky. It goes along with what our Highness said.”
“How so?”
“He wanted
the process started. I was coming to tell you last night when you started the claiming.”
Charlie snorted as he shook his head. “Apparently, your Highness was going to
tell whoever he contacted your dragon had bonded to her.”
Okay.
Wasn’t following my dad’s thinking. Not unusual. Father and I weren’t as close since
my dragon hit puberty. Two dominant dragons weren’t able to reside in the same
house without butting heads. Didn’t need that. I was barely hanging on. In
fact, wasn’t sure how I managed to stay in a professional tone. My entire body
shivered with the urge to rip everything near him apart. Even Charlie. Not that
I would. I knew how to control my dragon side. It was just on edge. So was I.
Double trouble for most dragons, but . . .
“How
will that help?”
“Not
will. Has.”
“How so?”
Short answers had me snapping at the guy who knew me better than my own dad.
“Mr. Davis
has been contacted by Senator Travis, who is on standby for the test results.
“Senator?”
Why had father kept such a major source from me.
“How
long will that take?”
“Agent
Carter is trying to dig himself from a deep hole . . . One day. Agent Carter’s
boss wasn’t pleased at how he obtained the first DNA sample. Or him killing two
who he believed could bring down the Logan Gang.
Hated
that label. The Logan Den wasn’t a gang. Far from it. Yes, there was some
uncouth way of making money, but violence and drugs weren’t allowed.
“DA’s
idea is a bit comical.” Charlie’s chuckle brought me back to the matter at
hand. not time to go down a mental tirade about what the Logan Den was. “The
Hodges were beyond loyal.”
“Why did
the DA think they’d turn on us?” Made no sense. Rex and Grace had been in the
den since Cree was two. When Hop came into the picture their devotions increased.
“Not
sure.”
“Is it possible
the entire mess with Cree is some kind of ruse?” Wouldn’t put it past Agent
Carter to stoop to such parlor tricks.
