Dex grinned.“I know of three instructors in the city.They can tell you what is needed, and she can audit classes to see if she likes them.”
They exchanged phone numbers.Dex checked her phone and had a message from someone named Hatcher.“Brexel has two young alphas, and Lya has one.They might be interested in dance classes as well.It helps with muscle building and body control.”
Regis blinked.“Someone sent you a message?”
The older man looked over and grinned.“Hatcher.She gets flashes when something crosses her life.She and Ax also took ballet for a number of years.”
Dex smiled.“My half-sister, Wizard, is also a dancer.Her grandparents thought it was a good idea for her to learn balance because she was growing so fast.That’s where we met the first time.After that, they couldn’t keep us apart.”
Regis smiled.“She explained.She’s very proud of you.”
“I am proud of her.”Dex smiled.
Etienne chuckled.“And I am fascinated by the world that Dex is reflected in, but tonight, we set her mind at ease, and then we begin organizing our pack.”
Dex shrugged.“I get to keep working for the ballet, so that’s a good thing.Where did the others go?”
Regis said, “Ford called, and he needed some kind of clearances for videos.Hatcher went along as transport.”
Dex looked at the people and saw dark djinn in the mix.This really was a magical place.
They made their farewells, and she was carried out to a car and tucked in, belted, and then they were off to Etienne’s place.Maybe she would finally understand what he did for a living.
“Why did you take me to the new palace?”
Tosh said, “Because we wanted you away from the hospital, and there might have been someone here who could heal you.There wasn’t, but the queen now knows about you and Wizard, so that is good.”
“Why is it good?”
“She can send help, and it can arrive fast.”
She smiled.“So can Wizard.Her friend Ax helped her and worked on the video for Emery.Without him, I would have tried to drive to the hospital and might have blacked out and hit a ditch or worse.”
Etienne’s fingers flexed on the steering wheel.“We will get him something for the holidays.”
Dex looked at him and tried to figure out what he meant.Five minutes later, they pulled in through gates that swung open, and then there was a long drive to a large manor house.
“Oh.Wow.Family estate?”
“Nope.Well, not yet.”He smiled.
The blush Dex felt sweep through her was hot.“Hey, weren’t we going to the shoe room?”
“Tomorrow morning, after you have uninterrupted sleep.”
“Hmm.So, you are manipulative.”
“Honey, I am exhausted.Tosh as well.We haven’t rested since we first arrived at the hospital.”
Dex looked at them and winced.“Right.Sorry.I guess I am the only one who has been set to nap.”
Tosh chuckled.“We promise to take you around tomorrow as soon as we have gotten more than ten minutes of sleep.”
“Oh.Okay.”
Tosh touched her shoulder, and she nodded.
They pulled up near the front doors, and she waited in the car while Tosh and Etienne left before they extended their hands to hers.
