“Oh, RIGHT! I just heard Midnight in my head! Uh...shit. I can’t remember again,” I complained.
My shoulders sank in disappointment.
Kai rubbed my back soothingly.
“Don’t get so disappointed. Matthew’s friend will be here in a few days to help figure out what’s going on with you and Midnight,” he explained, his soft, calming voice helped relieve the anxiety at my current predicament.
“Are you sure I’m not just crazy?” I suggested. I did have four spirits, so it was a matter of time till I showed signs of losing it.
Maybe the whole magic limit thing triggered the progression of my insanity.
“Mako, you’re not insane or crazy. We have a few guesses, but let’s wait till Winterlya gets here, okay?” Ryder encouraged, making his way over to my stool and placing a kiss on my forehead.
Winterlya hmmm.
“Okay. Can we eat now? Or I can call Karen to—”
“NO!” They all protested before Elias rushed over to the stove.
“Five minutes,” he promised as he turned the stove on; Marcus and Daniel helped him get the ingredients out of the fridge.
I looked up at Kai who had a wicked smile on his face. “You guys are afraid of Karen aren’t you and how did you catch me so fast? You were standing on the opposite side.” I narrowed my eyes at the ginger haired shifter.
“It’s my specialty,” he replied; his hands left my arms as he made his way to the fridge.
Speciality as in what?
I was ready to question him when he opened the fridge and pulled out a brown and white carton. He grabbed two glasses, making it back to the island. I stared at him in horror as he poured the contents into the glass.
“Mako, why do you look like Kai’s about to drink a shifter’s blood or something?” Ryder questioned, noticing my disgust.
I lifted my head to face him.
“He’s drinking expired milk,” I pointed out as my outstretched finger landed on the two glasses filled with the brown dairy liquid. Everything edible had an expiration date to my knowledge, always turning brown as it decayed.
Milk was no different...right?
Multiple snickers could be heard from the others, as their shoulders shook.Or not?
“Baby that’s not expired milk. It’s chocolate milk,” Ryder acknowledged, doing his best to hold back his laughter.
The huge grin on his face caused me to roll my eyes.
“There’s no such thing. Don’t lie,” I argued, crossing my arms over my chest to glare at him.
“Mako, I’m not lying. It’s chocolate flavoured milk,” he reassured me.
My eyes turned back to the brown, liquid filled glass. I looked at Kai.
“Is it safe to drink? Will I die? If so, your previous comment would be invalid.” I reminded him of his earlier statement. I’d probably have a word with the Starlight gods about expired milk and how it led to my early death.
He picked the glass up, taking a giant gulp of it before placing it back down on the table, a brown line around his lips. He licked it off and smiled.
I wanted to lick it off.
“See? Haven’t died yet,” he revealed.
I reached out for the glass, inspecting it with my eyes before sniffing it, the smell similar to the white milk I usually drank. Only difference was it did have a hint of a chocolate smell to it.
