Nox nodded magnanimously. “I did find a mate, and she is kind of awesome, and she gives me lots of BJs.”
“Dude, I’m telling Nevada you said that,” Torren murmured.
“Where are your ladies?” Lucas asked around a grin.
“Home. Torren and I are just visiting for a couple days. We tried to get Harper and Wyatt and that whole Crew to come back for a visit…Kane’s Crew too, but you know how adult life is,” Nox said.
Torren said, “Busy,” at the same time Nox said, “Boring.”
“Where’s Vyr?” Lucas asked.
“Saving the world or some shit,” Nox said. “Hey listen, if you fight Torren, I’ll pay you sixty-eight dollars.”
“I don’t need sixty-eight dollars,” Lucas said.
“Dooon’t,” Torren whispered, looking tired as Nox grew a devilish smile.
“Fine, how about sixty-nine dollars,” Nox whispered like a weirdo.
Lucas pursed his lips as Nox just stared at him.
“You walked into that,” Torren muttered as he sauntered away.
Moment number two that would haunt him when he laid his head down to sleep tonight: Cadence was now here. She was standing off to the side talking with the second person he had been secretly hoping wasn’t here.
Damon Daye, the blue dragon himself—the father of the red dragon, the keeper of these mountains, the protector of all shifters.
Damon Daye, Lucas’s boss.
The two people he was hoping weren’t here were off to the side talking too quietly for his sensitive hearing to pick up.
He didn’t know why he glanced over at where Jenna was talking to some of the second generation of the Ashe Crew, but she was looking right at him with a seriousness in her eyes that caught him off guard.
She shook her head slightly, but he didn’t know what that meant.
When he dragged his attention to the dragon, Damon Daye’s silver eyes—with those unsettling elongated pupils—were drilling right into him. He twitched his chin, and Lucas didn’t have a choice to ignore the summons. Damon Daye was the boss of everyone.
Cadence offered Lucas an empty smile as she walked away to talk to a group of Gray Backs.
Lucas sighed and took a step in Damon’s direction, but he startled when Jenna appeared suddenly at his side.
“What are you doing?” he murmured under his breath.
“Paying homage to the dragon with you.”
Lie. He could hear it in her tone.
He narrowed his eyes at her, but she wouldn’t meet his gaze.
Whatever her angle was, he didn’t mind that she was coming with him. What harm could her presence bring? No one here wanted to insult a submissive. In a way, Jenna was special, and coveted by Crews.
When Damon nodded respectfully at her and didn’t shoo Jenna away, Lucas had another moment where he looked at her differently. She was submissive, but walked right up to the blue dragon and sat on a stone ledge near him.
No fear, no hesitation.
Huh.
“Jenna,” Damon greeted her.
