Finally, Daisy took the time to look around the living room. Her entire clan was there, with the exception of Daniel. Her eyes widened when she noticed a few other people she wasn't familiar with. “Hello. Welcome. I’m Daisy, I’m Brandt’s sister and Tempest’s sister-in-law.”
A very large, blueish-gray skinned male with elaborate horns growing out of his head and large wings folded close against his back, grinned suddenly and looked at the woman standing next to him. “Like frower!” he said.
“Exactly,” the woman said, smiling at him.
“This is my sister, Daisy,” Brandt said, so out of his head with worry that he was introducing her despite the fact that she’d just done so. “She’s a healer and was trying to help Tempest with the pain.”
“Oh, no, honey. That’s not a good idea. Her mother is here now, she’ll handle it,” a tall, muscular, very, very beautiful male said. He had golden brown hair and swirling green and gold eyes. His words held just a hint of an accent giving him a regal edge, but the accent wasn’t quite identifiable.
“I was willing to try anyway. I hated seeing Tempest hurt that way,” Daisy said.
“I’m sure Lily will make sure she feels no more pain. I’m Carrik, by the way, Tempest’s father.”
“Oh! It’s so nice to meet you,” Daisy said.
“Likewise,” Carrik said.
“Have you met everyone?” Daisy asked.
“We have not,” Carrik said, “but thank you for asking.”
“’Arnge!” the big, blueish-gray male said, slapping himself on the chest.
“This is my mate Carnage, and I’m Carolena,” the woman said. “We’re Tempest’s grandparents. Lily is our daughter, and Boon of course is our son,” Carolena said, indicating a handsome male, almost as big as Carnage was with many of the same features. He was big and bulky, but his skin was a paler color, with more of a slightly softer silver undertone. His horns were almost identical to his father’s, but instead of being bald like Carnage was, he had thick, shoulder-length, dark silver-gray hair, with lighter streaks of silver running through it. His demeanor seemed much quieter than either his father or his mother, but not rude in the least.
“Hello, Boon,” Daisy said.
“Hello,” Boon said, giving her a flash of a smile and inclining his head in recognition of her, then went back to trying to not be noticed.
“I remember hearing about you,” Daisy said to Carolena and Carnage. “Tempest is very proud of you both. She’s told us stories of her grandfather’s achievements as General Elite of the Royal Army of the Sovereign of Sentries.”
Carnage was shocked to hear this girl he’d never met speak admirably of him. He puffed his chest out and raised his chin just a bit while he grinned at her, his fangs fully on display.
Carolena chuckled as Carnage started strutting just a little at the mention of all he’d been in the past. She hugged him from where she stood beside him, smoothing her hand over his huge bicep. “Oh, that’s so sweet. We’re very proud of her, too,” Carolena said.
“Hmm, let me see,” Daisy said, “You haven’t met everyone, so I’ll run through it quickly. It’s a lot, so don’t hesitate to ask later if you don’t remember who they are. Everyone here is either a shifter or human, except for Tempest of course. Where do I start… okay, let’s start with Brandt and myself. These are mine and Brandt’s parents, Bane and Janie.”
“Good to meet you,” Bane said as Janie smiled welcomingly.
“And you,” Carolena said.
“And next to them are our Uncle Bam and Aunt Everly.”
“Hello,” Everly said from her perch on the arm of the sofa beside Bam. Bam gave them a wave so they could see who he was.
“Their daughters are Emmalyn who is right there,” she said, pointing at Emmalyn who was sitting beside Barron, “and Analise, who is right there,” Daisy said, pointing to Analise who was in the kitchen filling glasses with sweet tea and lemonade and putting out anything else she could find to snack on.
“Hi!” Analise called out.
Tempest’s family waved back politely.
“That’s Kaid and Delilah, and their daughter Tessa. Kaid and Delilah are the original Alphas of the clan.” Delilah performed a quick curtsy to Carrik.
Carrik in turn, bowed to Delilah, recognizing her status as a Dragon Queen, though she was so much younger and less powerful than he was.
“That’s Barron, sitting beside Emmalyn, he’s her mate, and he’s Kaid and Delilah’s son.”
“Analise who is in the kitchen, is mated and married to Havoc.”
