Page 9 of Surviving Enchantment: Part two
“There is some kind of legal trace of her origins going on.The baby dress is the link between the demon zone and the XIA.”
Demuel wasn’t surprised.
Nylora smiled.“Solor is going for some kind of registry for Bump.”
He smiled and nodded.
“Light court or dark court?”
“Both.”
She blinked.“What?”
“He’s the shifter chief for both courts, light and dark.Everybody turns to him.It’s why his team is in the neighbourhoods and I am in the downtown.”
“Oh.Right.”She looked at the empty container.“Thanks, Dem-rah.I missed coming here.”
The sharp-toothed goblin’s smile warmed her heart.“You eat a lot, Nylora.That is a good thing.”
“I know.”
“Of course, now that I am catching the scent of this one on you, perhaps your appetite will curb.”
“That’s a doubter.”She chuckled.“Our contact was under magical duress on all sides.Now we just have to live with the result.The result will either be adorable or weird-looking.Either way, Bump is mine.”She smiled and patted her belly.It was weird not to have the heavy layers over it.
Skip hopped into the driver’s seat.Demuel finished his food and got into the ambulance, and they waved farewell to Dem-rah and Jennel.They backed up and got out of there.It was time to get back to work.
Chapter Two
Nylora fell asleepon the drive home.Demuel sat next to her in the back, and she slept on his shoulder.It had been a brutal evening, and there had been a death.She hated death.It threw off her groove.
She asked quietly, “Is Kaitha going to come pick me up?”
“No, we are going to try something different.You are going to spend the night with us, just cuddling.”
She blinked.“Solor doesn’t look cuddly.He looks mad.”
