Ember
Six months after Ryuu, Melody, Mia and Lexie are born.
The police turn up at our door looking for me.
River leaves in an instant to grab Ignatious, which the two officers are not happy with when he walks in, seems Jameson, my asshole of a social worker, isn’t done interfering, and I have to appear in court, why I needed armed officers instead of a letter is beyond me.
The fact that Ignatious barely held in his hysterics when he noticed Ren and Dante in matching stances with their arms crossed and scowls firmly in place, he even snapped a photo of them while the police were still present, and I will admit Dante is so cute when he goes all Grumpy Alpha.
The morning of the court case, I found out I was yet again pregnant. The guys have been getting the injection as soon as they find out which of them is the baby daddy of the hour. This time I’m thankful it’s a single baby, so hopefully an easy run.
Miles dressed me in dark grey wide-legged trousers, grey Converse and a navy off-the-shoulder t-shirt. My hair was half up, half down with the slide Kodi made for me, and I had a navy/gray crochet wrap/shawl type thing in case I got cold.
Ignatious and Jimmy bracketed me as I looked around. I noticed not one human, which I let Ignatious be aware of, and that seemed to make him nervous.
It is an open court so there are spectators in the docks here for whatever entertainment came from the day cases, none of the people I recognised, as Jameson enters I noticed a very young succubus who was dressed like a romance novel receptionist, ruby red lace bra and all, there was also an older male vampire who looked rather smug, I noticed a few of the jury shuffle and then glance back at Jameson and his lawyers.
“The female is sending out influence, I can tell it’s hitting the Jury, but not if it’s affecting anyone else,” I whisper to Jimmy, knowing Ignatious will hear too. I also notice the guard in front of me tenses and glances at the Female.
“Your honour, I would like for Mr Porter's assistant to either stop trying to influence the room or be dismissed from the room.” Ignatious voice Booms through the room. The Judge, an elderly dragon/incubus hybrid, looks up from the file before him and nods,
“Miss you either put on a magic cuff or leave if you can’t be trusted, Mr Porter, you know better in my court!
Cover yourself while you’re at it. This is a courtroom, not a second-rate porn scene.
” his voice sounds bored, but I can tell by his gaze that it wouldn’t take much for him to throw them out.
I can feel Jameson watching me, but I’m frozen as a female nightmare appears behind the Judge, accompanied by Saint.
