I got out of my chair and put my hand to Reggie’s forehead. She didn’t feel warm anymore. I smiled and guided her to the empty chair beside Ford.
Reggie sat down gingerly. It would appear Drayce hadn’t held back much when he fed her. She smiled a little and I saw Drayce blush out of the corner of my eye. I was going to have to get him to dish. Rao said I could feed her too, as long as he was there, and I wanted to know what I was in for.
“Your fever is down. Now, you need to tell someone if you start feeling flush. We’ll make sure someone can feed you every time it rises. Don’t be shy about it. Rao is even up for helping, since succubae aren’t as possessive as shifters.” I told her, patting Reggie on the shoulder
[Winston]We listened until she was down the stairs. Anders called Landry out of Aria’s room and Drayce called in a couple of Glimmer Dragons from one of the other rooms. He’d had them on standby.Glimmer Dragons were an all-female species. They had healing magic and all of the ones in the movement had been through training on the different species. The ones with us, Audrey and Marnie, were specifically trained in demon physiology.Dragons didn’t have alphas since they were all strong and dominant. Audrey had volunteered to feed Reggie. It would help a lot toward getting her better.When all the women arrived, Anders turned to Ford. We
[Winston]Twenty minutes later, everyone was gathered in the upstairs sitting room. Audrey was still in the room with Reggie. She told Drayce the fever hadn’t spiked yet.Ford brought me up. I knew I looked more ragged than I’d been when Ford left me. I had another vision after he left the room… it was terrible. Worse than the first one.“So far, no one knows a demon matching Reggie’s description. Some of the older demons said avians were believed to be extinct. She’s could be the last one in the world.” Anders said.“None of the wolves recognized her description, either.” Rao reported.“Landry&rsquo
[Ford]Dinner was served at six because Serena wanted to make sure Reggie wasn’t going too long between meals. She said feeding on flesh tended to make demons hungrier for things to chew. I was sitting at the counter and Audrey was helping with the meal.She came stumbling out of the room a couple hours ago and didn’t want to go back. She said Reggie was insatiable and Audrey couldn’t handle anymore. She’d called Marnie to come take over and it still took another hour until Reggie was sated. They decided she would need two powerful females until Aria was able to feed her. “Ford, would you go get Reggie for dinner? I don’t think she’ll come out for anyone but you right now.” Se
[Reggie]I focused on the room. Ford was looking at me strangely. I realized I’d just been sitting there, making faces.“Sorry, she got chatty.” I laughed.“You can talk to her?” Ford asked.“Sure. You can talk to Conric. I can talk to Reika.” I smiled.“Most shifters can’t talk to their animal. Maybe it’s because of how you got her.” He wondered.“What do you mean?” I asked.“Most wolves are an animalisti
[Reggie]The fever broke after four days. I was relieved when Marnie told me I could switch to daily feedings. I would need to change to a male and female partner for each feeding, but it meant I could participate in training as long as I stayed in human form.That limited my options to one of the shifter training groups or the human training group. I picked the humans. It was a good starting point after not fighting in my human form for so long. I dressed in yoga pants and a tight exercise top. Excited about being able to get out my physical aggression.At breakfast, I was allowed to serve myself instead of having Ford serve me portions the same size as his. I preferred eating after, but training sessions were several hours long. I knew I’d need something.
[Reggie]When the second fight started, Gavin turned to me. He had some mischief in his eye and a little smirk. I wondered what was going on in his head.“Want to make this interesting?” Gavin asked.“What do you have in mind?”“If I win the match, you give me a kiss.”“And if I win?” I inquired.“I’ll feed you.” He grinned.“Wait, so if you win you get a kiss and if you lose you get sex? Where exactly is my prize?” I scoffed.
[Reggie]An hour later, I woke up. Dennis had been watching over me as I healed. He was a good man and I thought he would fit the parameters of one of my ingredients perfectly.I groaned and reached for the cup of water on the stand next to the cot I was laying on. Taking a big drink, I felt my throat soothe. I pulled the blanket off and swung my legs over the edge of the cot.“Ready for lunch?” I asked.“I didn’t realize I was invited.” Dennis chuckled.“You saved me twice, I think the least I can do is lunch.” I smiled.
[Rafe]I was a little excited about possibly seeing someone I’d lost. Both of my parents and one of my brothers had died in the camps. I wanted to talk to one of them about what had happened since they passed and my plan to take Landry as my chosen mate.Will and Winston were great to talk to, but I wanted to talk to someone who knew me well. My sisters and other brother loved Landry, but I didn’t want to say something to one of them and get their hopes up. If she said no, it would devastate all of us.“The only things that could cause an issue now, are the wolves who are dedicated to Ford and Rafe’s injury.” Reggie smiled and nodded. “So we just have to have Ford let the wolves go and get Rafe healed.”
