None of us add to Riven’s comment. I don’t even look at him.
Thayla clears her voice while readjusting herself on his lap. “I’ll start with her power then. I mean, I’m pretty seductive already.”
“Fuck yeah, you are, gorgeous.” Kyzen winks, making her blush, and even Amick hums in agreement.
Fuck me. I’m not going to be able to keep my hands to myself.

“Well, you weren’t who I was expecting to see when I got out of the shower.”
V hoots, stretching his wings out as he gets comfortable in the middle of my bed. He’s in his adorable, smallest form. Anytime he’s that size, I completely forget he’s an ancient, incredibly powerful, secret-keeping being.
“If I shift into the size of your men, will that remind you?”
I snort, then tilt my head. “Shit. Can you really get that big?”
“Bigger.”
“Damn, V. That’s like, terrifying if I’m being honest.”
“Don’t stroke his ego.”
My body freezes for a moment before I sprint to my windows and crack open the curtains.
“Did you move closer to the house so I could hear you?”
Seismet’s huff filters through my mind and I strain my eyes to see into the dark forest.“Yes. This is getting tiresome.”
“Patience, old horse.”
“Listen here, you—”
“Enough, no arguing in my mind right now. What’s going on? There’s a reason you’re both here right now when I was getting ready for bed.”
“I’m only here for silent support.”
I cross my arms and turn back to stare at V since he’s the only one I can actuallysee.
“I had something I wanted to add to our discussion tonight and something I wanted to talk to you about. I asked the boys to give us a minute.”
I groan and flop on the bed beside him. “Start with adding to our discussion. I can tell by the way you said that I’m not going to like our talk.”
“Probably not, but it’s time you knew.”He waddles closer to me, and I can’t help but run my fingers down his feathers. He’s just so cute.
“Damn it, V.” I hiss and snatch my hand back after he pecks the shit out of me.
“I am not cute. I’m a formidable creature who’s traveled the realms and led many to greatness.”
“You can do all that and be cute at the same time, you know.”
I clutch my poor finger as I sit up, cross my legs, and listen to Seismet laugh. At V or me, I’m not sure.
“What I wanted to add is, and I’ll relay this to Amick as well, I believe it’d be best, when you attempt to release the power from the Binding, you do so in the sacred hot spring. Since the Goddess of Seduction is seemingly keeping a close eye on the activity of her Binding, no doubt attempting to see if you all tamper with it like you were told not to, I believe the power of the hot spring will obscure it.”
“Can it even get wet?”
