W as this high school? Some girl saw us step out of Ivar’s room, gasped like we hit her, and then scurried off.

You’d have thought we were the ones who beat Lola after that.

Either that, or we smelled bad. Nearly everyone from our side of the school was avoiding us.

I didn’t even remember who most of these people were, much less who they were in their first life, but they sure hated me.

I stopped to use the bathroom before we went to the dining hall and there was a giant man waiting for me. I didn’t leave the doorway because someone was hurting people and all the students were looking at me like they wanted to hurt me.

“Can I help you?”

“Woah, I’m not here to hurt you. I heard a rumor that the Morrigan is back and you felt it when Kira died. I’m Blaize.”

“Oh, yeah. Hi. Kira was supposed to be your bodyguard, right?”

“Yes. We fought like kittens, but we grew up together. Everyone loved her. I can’t imagine who would want to hurt her.

You’re bonded to Anubis, right? Did he say anything?

Kira was good. I can’t imagine her losing a fight to anyone.

She’s bested Professor Adamastus a few times with her fists, but she’s also a dragon. ”

We were alone. I couldn’t sense anyone else in the hall and I felt like this was my duty if this information wasn’t already out there. Maybe it would make things worse, but it would save a few lives, too.

“Listen, if you ever can’t hear or sense any animals out with you and something just feels weird, shift or use whatever magical resources you have to get the fuck out of there. Once everything goes dark, you’re fucked. Spread the word, but be careful who’s listening.”

“Shit, thanks. I’ll sleep a little better with that tip.

I’ll make sure it gets passed around. And for what it’s worth, those of us on the supernatural side who actually know about this shit think if the Morrigan, Anubis, and the Ancient One are having secret meetings with them, then Thor, the original bear shifter, and whoever the fuck the other one is aren’t violent in this life. ”

“Apollo. Alexios figured out he’s Apollo.”

“No shit? The others will eventually figure it out. Keep your head down until then. It’ll work out.”

Blaize seemed really nice and down to earth for a dragon prince. Until I joined my friends at our table, realized someone from the school sent me a message, and it was from Blaize. He was sprawled on his bed naked holding his erect cock.

“Ugh. Why are men?” I demanded, setting my phone down.

“What did we do now?” Khalid asked.

“I just had what I thought was a pleasant conversation with one and he assumed that meant I wanted a dick pic.”

The entire mood at the table changed. Even Khalid was pissed.

“Who?” Liam demanded.

“No way. The first severed dick was lovely, but you’ll get expelled if you do that here.”

“Love, I’d never get you the same gift twice. I’d probably get you his thumbs this time. I’ll bet that would look fucking stupid if he’s a shifter.”

“That’s why I’m not telling you. You aren’t getting expelled because someone sent me a photo of his dick.”

Liam was sulking and Lucian was buried in his phone again.

I didn’t know how dragon royalty worked, but if Liam didn’t get eaten, he’d get punished for cutting body parts of the heir.

There was a severed dick on my pillow when they snatched me.

Headmaster Mykene was smart enough to figure out it was a twisted present from Liam.

I would never tell him who sent that pic. I got up to get my food, so they knew I was done talking about it.
