“Lady Myrtle, Teyval and I have known each other for a very long time.He wishes me to tell you that the dark elves have pixies as well.I am one of them.”
She stared, her eyes going wide.“No way.”
“They are not what your people consider pixies, but we are winged elves that move fast.I am about to depart, so he wished for me to transform in front of you.”
Myrtle’s eyes were enthusiastic.“If you wouldn’t mind.”
“Very well.I am sure Teyval will tell you all about my kind this evening.”
Her feet started twitching, and her males smiled.
Xiroth nodded and brought out his wings.He could see she was taking in the energy markings under his skin and the array of six wings on his back.He bowed and then launched skyward.
He made his way to the home that he had purchased on Auredel Lane.It was a six-bedroom on ten acres and was just what he needed.The rest of the neighbourhood was filled with women who lived quietly.His home was also one at the end of the block that hadn’t been snapped up when someone had purchased eight of the homes at the end of the block.They were all large lots, and everyone on the street was quiet.It was a nice place to live, and he was wondering how long it would be before he could lure Jennika into his home.He hadn’t needed to consume blood since they were together, and every pixie knew what that meant.Life as they knew it was about to end, and the possibility of love was beginning.
Chapter Three
Jennika couldn’t rest.She sat at the table in her nightgown and rubbed her belly.“So, little dude, your dad is taller than I remember, but I remembered him on his back and manacled to a wall.”
Sable’s voice came out of the darkness.“That’s a mental image.Are you going to take him to the next visit with Dr.Theo?”
“Would you mind?”
Sable walked out, her face distinctly feline.“That might be for the best.I have been having issues holding my human form lately.If it wasn’t for the charms Vine keeps making, I think I would be out hunting squirrels.”
Sable set the shattered pendant on the table and went to the case to get another one.
Jennika sighed.“Would it help to stay at home for a few days?”
“Nope.Besides, I want to watch Emhara painting tomorrow.I need to keep to as many normal activities as possible.”
“When does that start?”
“Noon.I am glad they moved it one day.The water main break was just lucky so that we could go to the thing.”
Vine’s hoarse voice spoke from the door to the rear garden.“Yes, lucky.No wonder Ivy is passed out now.”
