“What?” I laughed. This man was a rollercoaster of emotionslately.
He shook his head, grin still in place. “A dragon youngling! I haven’t seen one since my parents werealive.”
Keegan was smiling too. We all were. This wasn’t just the birth of a baby. It was the birth of a baby dragon. A new generation. A thought struck me then. “Is she going to lay an eggor…?”
Logan laughed as Keegan turned down the road to the rental. “She’s in her human form. She will give birth to a human baby like a womanwould.”
“Oh.” How was I supposed to knowthat?
He reached back and squeezed my thigh.‘You’ll see in five years,right?’
I chuckled.‘Maybe ten. Depends how painful thislooks.’
My mate just stared ahead, grinning like a fool. Could this guy get any better? He loved babies, and kittens, and me. I’d hit thejackpot.
“It’s up here,” Keegan called out, looking from his phone to the gated house on the hill upahead.
I gawked. Whoa.Hello,mansion.
“You rented a mansion for Lynn’s birthinghouse?”
Logan nodded. “It’s the safest. The high walls will hide any strangeactivity.”
Strange activity.Hah.
I could see our school bus in the driveway. At the beginning of the property, standing in the open iron gates, wasSophie.
Keegan pulled up with the window down and she ushered us through with a wave of her arm. “Come on, this labor is progressing fast. Nadine said she’s ready topush!”
Shit.
Nadine and Keegan were the only ones among us with medical knowledge. Keegan gunned it through the gate, with Eva and Danny right behindus.
He parked the car behind the bus and we all jumped out. Eva was a streak of black as her long hair trailed behind her. She burst through the pack of at least twenty shifters, mostly our old pack with some new, and into the frontdoor.
She needed to get that baby into the spell bath to hopefully keep it from shifting into its tiny dragon form and alerting the druids. Danny was right behind her and I stared at Logan,frozen.
“What do we do?” I gripped my staff nervously. I would be of no medical help here, and I didn’t have baby-dragon-hiding magiceither.
He looked lost. “All we can do is just be there in case they need help. But if the youngling shifts, I want you to get out of here. Go to Isaac’s land and keep Caseysafe.”
I frowned. “Logan! We’re not splittingup.”
Keegan had jumped out of the car now and he and Logan shared a look. “Actually, that’s the plan from now on. You and Logan cannot be killed unless you are killed together. When there’s trouble, you both need to splitup.”
His orders hurt my heart. The word “split” and “Logan” should never be used in the same sentence, but at the same time I knew his reasoning waslogical.
“Just until the threat passes, then we’re together again,” I demanded, hoping I wouldn’t regret my choice of going along with thisplan.
Logan ate up the distance between us. “Of course. You think I could stay away from you for more than aday?”
I grinned as his lips crashed onto mine and I eagerly drank in his scent. Logan Sharp was mykryptonite.
“Get a room!” Sophie called out as shepassed.
I smiled. It wouldn’t be a normal day if Sophie wasn’t bitching aboutsomething.
Logan broke away from our kiss, but kept my hand firmly interlocked within his. “Let’s see if there’s anything we can do,” he said, to Keegan andI.
