Times were dangerous. To the young Damien Tanner, this time was about the same as any other. His family had always lived on that edge, why should this time be any different?
This time was plenty different. His mother was curled up with not one but two guys. He knew she was doing more than cuddling that Aries guy, but the other one was cut of the same cloth. It wasn?t like his mother, though. She hadn?t cared about anyone since his father disappeared. What?s worse, both of them were Angels.
Then there was his sister. Angel was freaking them all out by the way she was talking to her ferrets. But damn if they didn?t appear to understand and talk back to her. He knew his sister was lonely with the way she would disappear into the forests, but this was beyond anything.
Of course, his mom had to assign him to the new mage in the House. She was pretty enough and a trueblood. Still, she treated him as a student or a friend. The young man just accepted it and appeared to be content in his studies. Her sister was one of the healers working with Maerissa but she seemed to be a bit touched. She had a gentle way about her and kept most of the males at arms length. Cerise, his teacher, said it was because she still mourned her lost love.
Then there was his demon. His mother was showing him how to harness and control that aspect of him, but it was hard. Plus he was such a skirt chaser. If he allowed himself to follow those urges, he would have probably have laid about half the female population. Now that was scary. With some of the females he has seen around, he wasn?t so sure he wouldn?t catch something in the process.
Right now though, he found himself wandering to the Teas?n Tomes. His mother was cuddling with her two guys and Angel had her ferrets for company. He was restless and looking for some peace.
In this town? Yeah, right.
