    Chapter 1

    It would seem like it, indeed it would (both parts). Can't disagree there. Thank you!

    Prologue

    Riley waved to his mom, but the sliding doors were already closing and she was talking to one of the doctors. Suddenly he felt quite alone. The walls were yellow and it reminded him unpleasantly of sunlight - and he had to be careful of that, he knew. The nurse, a dragonfly who from his vantage point seemed almost to touch the ceiling, smiled. Her lower pair of arms clutched a tablet, her upper hands intertwined as if in prayer. "Hello, Riley. I'm Nurse Leah and I'm in charge of your grou

    Chapter 1

    ~Cedric~ As he walked, Cedric slipped the document folder into his left hip pocket and his phone into the laptop bag on his right side. He tried to close the office door in his mind as well, but although he went about it every day, he rarely succeeded. On Storm Day, Nate had a doctor's appointment, so he would have to carve out some time. On Grass Day, the first check of the new beta test was due and he had to prepare for that. And on Sky Day, he had promised his best friend Dolen a
  4. Somewhere between parenting his little half-brothers, supporting his ailing grandfather in the family business and constantly arguing with his twin brother, Cedric has forgotten himself. Riley needs money. To help his mom with the debts his dad left behind, to pay for his brother's life-saving therapy, to pay his own debts. But despite working two jobs and putting in long hours, it's never enough. After a disastrous blind date, Cedric turns up on Riley's doorstep with an interesting offer in his pocket. It could actually be a win-win situation, were it not for a total of six constantly intrusive brothers…

    And it will stay at hints, till Finley is to learn the "truth" Noah and Finley show different ways of coping with their trauma, which are also very different. Finley's "wounds" are scabbed over, while Noah is still wearing a band aid. Maybe he takes it off soon, maybe not. Plus, those two have different personalities and goals. Noah was a SEAL with all his heart, Finley was forced into service by his parents and family expectations. We will hear more about Finley's family and dragons next chapter and yes, it's complicated. Thank you!

    Weeeeeell... as reader you know already what Finley is I was able to update so fast because I have/had some chapters pre-written. But when the storage is empty, you'll have to wait a bit longer, I'm afraid. Thank you!

    My head was buzzing. Noah's spiteful radiation, Finley's painful narration... My whole being felt terrible. And on top of that, I was confused. Finley could unblinkingly say "some of us don't need a weapon" and thus rev up my senses of danger to the max, and in the next moment trigger a deep instinct of comfort in me when he spoke with a sad face of being rewarded for his cowardice with a medal as well. He was dangerous, I knew that, objectively. But, for example, right now, in the car

    I think it's safe to assume already Jake's request for this meeting was a desperate try to do something, seeing his brother suffer for sure is not easy. But this evening did something. It brought Finley closer to this group, closer to Emmett. Enforcing what he felt already the week before, that they like him, Finley, not the dragon-soldier. After the way he grew up- surrounded by his huge dragonfamily, military academy- and then the service itself, it for sure has a sort of therapeutic effect. Because running away like he did is not the solution either. Thank you!

    After a while of relaxed chatting about this and that, later accompanied by pizzas, the mood was pretty good. At least the mood of the others. I myself got a little nervous and offered to take down the accumulated trash directly during my cigarette break- no one objected. When I stepped back into the apartment, Emmett was standing in the corner of the kitchen and even before I saw what exactly he was doing, I smelled the enticing sweet scent of peaches. "Hey, would you like a bite?" he

    You're again absolutely right Although I do hope next to a tear I can get a smile out of you from the next chapter. Thank you!

    Emmett and Dex were dating, before Dex got called away. But yes, Emmett would like to deepen the dating into a real relationship. Emmett has healing abilities, which he uses for the healing potions they give with the tattoos in the parlor, and a calming ability Thank you!

    A fine drizzle hung in the air like a thin veil. I looked outside and would have loved to go out too, running wild and free, but I couldn't at the moment. Instead, I sat at the counter while Tony inked a tattoo, researching for an ink for Travis' tattoo. My phone was buzzing - it was doing so almost non-stop that early afternoon. I stood firm and ignored it, but then looked up when the door opened. Finley entered, a basket of flowers under his arm, and pulled a very strange face.
  14. Celian

    Finley

    You are absolutely right and their meeting will not go as Jake hopes, or at least not in the way we interprete his hopes. Emmett's tattoos are for a lot of things, surpressing his instinctal fears, supporting his magical abilities etc... Thank you! It is and next chapter we will see another reason for that Thank you!

    Again, I could taste Emmett's slight anxiety as I sat down. The Tempest was packed with people, but I couldn't help but think that it was because of me. He was fully aware that I was dangerous, and now we would be sitting across from each other for hours. I averted my eyes and instead briefly eyed the others. Jake was as dark-skinned as Mike was pale and blond, Ben seemed to have a Latino influence, and Mo was probably short for Mohammed, because his face clearly had Arab features. But

    Emmett

    You're absolutely right on the first part. Especially if you're a shy/silent type. Yes. Emmett and his uncle had their reasons to leave the coven, apart from "being the outsider-gay" and "wants to use his rare talent better". We will hear a bit more about those friends And if you tell me if there is someone in particular interesting you, I can work it into the story I have only one small tattoo and it was painful as hell and told myself never again. But this magical possibilities... oh boy, yes, I take some! Thank you!

    Emmett

    "Emmett?" I blinked and turned to face Rebekah. "Hmm?", I made questioningly, uncomfortably aware that they were all looking at me. "Is everything alright? Your mind seems to be somewhere else." What was I supposed to say to that? First of all, I put on an apologetic, if slightly crooked, smile. The circumstances under which I had met my now best friend Jake, his parents Rebekah and Jeremy, and Jake's best friend since childhood Mike, were definitely a wee bit crazy, but the coupl

    For now, the attaction is still one-sided. But yes, they don't know what the other one is, because it's rude to ask. Thank you!

    Finley

    Apart that you mixed up their names, that's correct Next chapter might give a first answer. Thank you!

    Actually, I had expected the warning tingle at the nape which had made me leave the tattoo parlor rather abruptly yesterday to return. Instead, it began to tingle in my stomach. White cuffs and an equally dazzling white shirt collar peeked out from under Emmett's light blue sweater, accentuating the blue percentage in his eyes. And his eyes... They were rimmed with mascara and kohl, his lids glittered a little, and if I wasn't mistaken, he was wearing skin-colored lipstick. Holy shit.

    Emmett comes from a witch coven, but he is not a witch himself. It will stay a mystery for a while longer Thank you!

    God yes so many annoying people suddenly less in the world! Thank you!

    Emmett

    We could settle for "he's a rare type" Thank you!

    Emmett

    Finley did definitely kill, though he is a former soldier and dragon, so that's basically his nature. Attacking Emmett on the other hand...? Nope. He wouldn't. Although "sexy" is a very personal definition, I would agree Thank you!

    The old walnut tree at the end of the garden gave me support. However, I no longer pressed face-first against the bark, as if to melt into it, when Tony joined me at some point. Instead, I sat on the ground and leaned against the trunk, looking up at the night sky between half-closed lids and the glow of the city. "You okay?" Tony asked quietly. "Yeah...", I drawled. Then I swallowed and blinked, looked at Tony. "What the hell is this guy?" I shuddered, and not just because the days ha
