“Shut up you moron.” Shawn dropped a floating snowball on his brother’s head.

“Shane, my boy, have you ever heard of water memory? Well, perhaps it works the same with earth elements as well.”

“I never thought of it like that.” He seemed embarrassed like he was the only one who got a question wrong on a big school test. I hadn’t thought of that either, I was just thinking that my team was very talented.

I watched as the two of them closed their eyes and began to concentrate. They both started emanating an interesting aura. Cedar’s aura was a light earthy green while Noah’s was the color of sandstone. The two auras, first side by side, began to swirl with each other.

The auras didn’t mix or blend together. Instead the colors moved among each other in a push and pull pattern, like they were working in tandem. And as I watched, awestruck, the building began to reform itself. The fallen debris was lifted by roots that grew from within the walls and floors themselves.

The stone materials from the outer walls blew together in a giant cloud of dust to reshape the bricks that had crumbled into nothing. Everything that was made of wood and stone reshaped itself and looked brand new.

“Huh, do you not recognize glass as coming from stone?” My Little Bunny asked her cousin as she looked at the building, missing several windows but otherwise looking whole again.

“They’re glass.” Noah told her.

“Glass is made from sand, which is made from rock.” She laughed at him. “You’re skipping a major element here.”

“I’ll work on it.” He glared at her. “But still, we reformed the place, that’s good enough for now.”

“Indeed it is, and we appreciate it very much.” Crawford told him with a smile on his face.

“Now, shall we go now?” Gabriel suggested as he looked at the still shell shocked mate in my arms.

“Yes, let’s go.”

We all got into the SUVs, the warlocks in their personal vehicles. I had instructed Ken, the pilot, to fly somewhere out of the way when we had arrived, so thankfully the helicopter was not damaged, but the resort we were going to was close enough to not warrant taking such a drastic transport there.

This was definitely not how I expected today to go. This outcome was nowhere near my thoughts when we left this morning. And then, to top it all off, there was the tragic outcome. Yeah, we won the fight, but Edmond got away and my child was taken from us before we even got to know them. I just wanted to get my mate somewhere quiet and private. Somewhere we could help each other through this hard time.

Since the moment that I realized I could no longer feel that little flickering warmth inside me, that little light of life I associated with my little Jelly Belly, I felt like I was numb both inside and out. Something was missing. Something was broken. I had failed.

I felt like I had been spiraling out of control, and if it hadn’t been for Joaquin’s constant touch I would have already lost it all completely. The entire time we rode from the Aerie Convento I sat on his lap. I didn’t want to sit in my seat beside him.

I needed to feel his arms wrapped around me. I needed him to ground me. I needed his warmth.

When we got to the hotel resort we were going to stay at he placed his hand at the small of my back, guiding me as we walked. He never let his hand leave me. I don’t know if it was because he knew I needed him, or if he needed me just as much. But I didn’t care, I was happy for his touch.

To say that the hotel was surprised to see us was a bit of an understatement. They watched as several people got out covered in gore. And then there was the sheer number of people.

In total, there were nearly a hundred of us with the Warlocks included. And there were so many matching big, black, expensive SUVs. The sight of all of us showing up at once was most definitely overwhelming.

I honestly hadn’t thought about what we would look like. A very large group of mostly very tall, and mostly very handsome, men showing up like this. What exactly did they think was happening?

But, nevertheless, I had a sudden inspiration. I asked Noah quickly first to find out what he had said to them.

“Noah, did you tell them anything when you made the reservation?” I wanted to know what he told them when he had requested enough rooms for a hundred people.

“Just that Alpha Corps was in need of a large scale reservation on very short notice.”

“Nothing else?” I whispered. “Didn’t they ask what we needed so many rooms for?”

“They asked, but I simply chose not to answer.” He was infuriating at times.

“Seriously.” I rolled my eyes at him. “Urgh.” I growled impatient at him. “Let me handle this.”

“What are you going to do?” Joaquin asked me curiously.

“Just watch.” I winked at him with a grin.

I saw the manager of the resort coming our way. Noah, Joaquin, and I were in the lead after all. He looked a little nervous, but confidence was still shining through. I could tell he was really good at his job. Also, based on his scent, I could tell he was as human as they come.

“Good afternoon.” He smiled when he was close enough to us. “My name is Francis and I’d like to welcome you to The Tiger Lily Resort.” His smile didn’t falter but I saw his eyes widen when he noticed the blood that covered both me and Joaquin.

Good afternoon Francis, I’m Mrs. Riviana Gray.” I included my full name so that he would know to associate me with the group that Noah had called about. “I am sorry for this unplanned interruption. We had intended to stay elsewhere, but unfortunately there was an incident with filming.” I chuckled lightly with the lie.

“Filming.” He turned his head.

“Yes, quite unfortunate really. But while filming the big fight scene, the house we were using was damaged and we won’t be able to stay there.”

“Oh, you’re filming a movie?” He asked, realization washing over his face.

“Yes, but we’ve been keeping it under wraps, you see. So I would appreciate it if you were to not let this matter slip to anyone.” I winked at him. “This is going to be a big hit and we can’t let secrets out. You know how it is.” He looked confused but nodded like he understood all the same.

“You can count on us.” He was still nodding with a broad smile. “We deal with all sorts of celebrities and high profile corporations. And I know that there isn’t a business in Colorado that hasn’t heard of your husband.”

“Is that so.” Joaquin’s deep voice purred next to me. “I didn’t know I was that famous.” He was grinning at the man who obviously had no idea that the man he had just been talking about was standing in front of him. That reaction from Francis actually made me giggle for a brief second.

“I guess your reputation is more famous than the actual you.” I slid in close to him to feel his warmth as that brief expression of true emotion which had been quick and fleeting had left me feeling even emptier and more numb in comparison.

“Mr. Gray, I apologize. I knew of you, but I have never had the chance to meet you before. I am honored to be able to host you and your group. Please, do not hesitate to ask for anything.” Francis seemed a little subservient after that, it really made me wonder how people in the business world view my husband.

Francis summoned a gaggle of excited employees. It seemed that they were excited to be in the presence of Joaquin. How well known was he outside of our own city? The employees were ladened with guest pamphlets and key cards. They had already assigned Joaquin and I to a large, luxurious suite, but they asked for us to assign any other ‘important’ rooms.

Joaquin assigned rooms of importance to people based on their status and importance to us. So the high ranking warlocks were assigned better rooms, as were my personal guards and friends. And of course those with mates present were given rooms to themselves, so Juniper and Paul were together, as were Rawlynne and David, and of course Dietrich and Shawn.
