Donja frowned. “I don’t know, maybe you’re right, it could be fear, the after effects of Kevin, or shock or who knows, maybe it’s just spite towards Torin and all his kind for threatening my family.” She rolled her eyes. “I’m so confused.”

“Well, truth be known, Torin’s protecting your family. If you never met him and that scar-faced demon found you, you’d be gone by now and all of us dead so that we didn’t notify the authorities. Maybe he’s your guardian angel.”

“You think?” she asked searching her face.

“For what it’s worth, I’m convinced that the man loves you.”

“Whew! It’s a lot to wrap your head around.”

“That’s for sure, just give yourself time.”

Donja hugged her. “Thanks, you’ve picked me up, I feel better, I got my sister shield on.”

“And I’ve had my dose of Prozac,” Makayla simpered.

Donja laughed. “We’re both beyond crazy, you do know that, don’t you?”

“Well maybe, but there are worse things to be.”

Donja laughed. “All right, enough of this. Tell me, how was your evening with Gage?”

“Good, except that he won’t tell me any secrets about the Council and,” she rolled her eyes, “he won’t give in.”

“Give in, to what?”

“Me. He gets me so hot I want to scream, then backs off. It’s torture.”

“Ahhh, so what did you do?”

“Patience, tolerance and acceptance,” she sighed with animated gestures, “what else could I do?”

“I’m confused,” Donja said. “If Iridescents want Chippewa females, why does Gage love you?”

“Gage is a Lesser Iridescent. Torin’s an Affiliate. Lesser’s can’t produce a child with Chippewa, so just like mortals, they simply meet the girl of their dreams and fall in love.”

“Huh! This is more in-depth than I realized.”

“Well it’s just as scary to fall for a Lesser as it is for an Affiliate, they both need your blood.”

“I understand,” Donja gushed. “When Torin marked me, I was scared shitless but after a few minutes, I wanted him desperately, but he backed off. Funny what that bite does to you.”

Makayla’s mouth dropped. “Oh my God. He’s already marked you?”

“Girl, I insisted when I found out another Iridescent like Scarface could lay claim if I wasn’t marked.”

“Wow! I guess you know he’ll be proposing.”

“He already did, kinda.”

“Oh my God, really?”

“He didn’t ask, he just said I would be a consort soon. Rather disappointing when you think of it.”

“Did you sleep with him?” Makayla asked, suddenly serious.

“No, like I said, he backed off. I was so flustered because I wanted him.”

“Wait a minute,” Makayla smirked. “Let me guess. Some lame excuse about the Council?”
