His eyes glowed green as he glared at me. “You’re testing my patience, aren’t you?” His voice was higher than his norm.

Elyion would have to switch completely with Elias in order for her usual high pitch voice to return.

“Maybe,” I admitted.

His eyes returned to normal, Elias shook his head as he sighed.

“I’m going for a walk before you two start arguing. I don’t want to wake up Mako. I’ll see you guys later.” Elias nodded to the others and he walked up to Mako, kissing her lightly on the forehead before walking to the door. He slipped on his black runners and headed out the door.

“I’ll be back later, aka I won’t come within twenty feet of the property unless you tell me Makoto’s eaten,” Marcus insisted. He waved goodbye, leaned down and kissed Mako on the cheek, whisperingsee you in a bit, Firefly.He grabbed his gym bag from behind the door and left.

“I’ll take Daniel to his room.” Ryder announced, closing the book in his hands as he stood up. He leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips before smiling down at her, the compassionate expression on his face showed how much Mako meant to him.

He made his way to Daniel. He pulled off the blanket, before he put Daniel’s arm over his shoulder. I made my way to the other side and lifted his other arm over my shoulder.

“I can do it you know.” Ryder reminded.

I smirked.

“Two is better than one. It’ll be faster.” We lifted him up, making our way to the hall with ease.

“What about Mako?” Ryder asked.

“Nightmare will be here in five seconds,” I answered.

Within five seconds, light taps could be heard. We both glanced over our shoulders, the bundle of white fur coming in sight from the door.

“MEW.” The familiar announced, standing in the middle of the room. She glanced at us, her mismatched eyes blinking a few times before walking to the couch. She jumped onto the edge, making her way to Mako’s shoulder. She walked in a circle a few times before sitting, her tails wrapped around her as her head snuggled between Mako’s neck and shoulder.

“See? She’s fine,” I reassured him.

He shook his head. “Honestly, doesn’t the predicting thing get to you?” he questioned as we made our way to the stairs.

“Sometimes,” I admitted.

If you could see the person you love die, regardless of the multiple possibilities, you’d never want a gift like mine.

Only a person who’d lived with such a gift would truly understand the unbearable heartbreak it could bare. Many shifters would have applauded me for having such a gift, envious of my ability to foretell or forewarn, but they didn’t understand the consequences it came with; the underlying fear you endured when the future revealed something you had no control in preventing.

“Sorry,” Ryder apologized.

My feelings of sadness must have leaked into the knight bond.

“Hmm...so this is how it feels when I predict shit.” I chuckled, shaking the negative thoughts away. I didn’t know how Ryder could handle feeling all our crazy emotions 24/7.

“You know—” he began, but I cut him off.

“If I ever need to talk about it, I’ll make sure you’re the first one on my confessions list,” I finished.

He smiled. “Better. Or else,” he threatened.

I gulped. “Leave my tail out of this,” I muttered.

“Hmph, no guarantee. Depends if I lose my shit or not,” he continued displaying hisjust try me,smirk.
