Enya's POV

Two months passed after my mate's failed attempt to rewrite history. Even without his magic Shendu didn't care as long as he was with me. My beloved was successful with finding a OG/GYN that specialized in dragon shifter pregnancies. Her name was Sheila and she was a dragon shifter herself in her early forties. I already had an appointment and so far the pregnancy was going smoothly.

Shendu for the moment found a part-time job in a herbal shop near Uncle's. My mate was very skilled when it came to herbs. In fact Shendu had me drink some special tea that helped with nausea which I was still dealing with.

My cell phone rang early in the morning waking both me and Shen up at the same time.

"Who is calling you so bloody early?"

I shrugged before answering my phone.

"Enya it's Captain Black sorry to wake you so early"

Captain Black never called unless he had good reason.

"What happened?" I demanded gently.

"The talismans have been destroyed" Black replied.

Immediately I was out of bed much to Shendu's annoyance. Black wanted me to go into Section 13 and help Jackie and Uncle something I couldn't refuse. After hanging up with Captain Black I turned to my mate.

"The talismans have been destroyed" I explained.

Shendu snarled in anger and he stood up.

"Who destroyed my talismans?" he asked.

"Wanna take a guess?"

My mate growled knowing that Jackie had been the one who destroyed the talismans on accident.

"With the talismans being destroyed they will seek hosts" Shendu explained.

"Yep and this dark chi wizard by the name of Dao Long Wong desires your rightful magic"

"Then make sure my love he doesn't obtain my powers"

Smirking I went over to my mate and pressed a quick kiss against his lips which he happily returned. An hour later after going by a McDonald's I finally met up with the Chan clan. Uncle's locator spell was able to find the first talisman power which was the power of immortality. So it was why all of us were in the middle of a dog show. Dao Long Wong wasn't here yet than fully which gave us a little time to look at the different dogs.

I came upon a German Shepherd and focused on sensing the power of immortality. Since I was half mage I could sense magic. The shepherd gave my hand a lick and I chuckled while I stroked his head. He didn't have the talisman power so I gave the dog a quick scratch behind the ears before going on to the next dog.

"So how are things with Ezra?" Jade asked.

"Things are good we plan on getting hitched in a year" I replied to her.

"Makes sense" Jade agreed.

She suddenly gasped and pointed ahead. Dao Long Wong finally arrived and he took notice of me and Jade. A smirk came upon his lips and I made Jade get behind me. I felt my fangs elongate and I growled at the dark chi wizard not to approach any closer.

Jackie suddenly appeared out of nowhere and he jumped into that air giving Wong a kick to the stomach.

The dark chi wizard went flying backwards and he landed against a giant bowl of dog food that fell on top of him. Jackie then went over to the dog owners who were participating in the show, grabbed the leashes of their dogs and promised to return them later. A small dog that had grey fur and white markings appeared next to Jackie.

Wong emerged from the dog food and he called out.

"Oh crap" I said as Finn,Ratso, and Chow appeared out of blue smoke. Only they weren't human anymore.

They now had orange skin and blue markings thanks to Wong turning them. I quickly ran for it as did Jackie, Jade, and Uncle. When we got outside the building Tohru closed the doors hurriedly. They accidentally smacked themselves into the door while Tohru chose that moment to push a vending machine against the door.

"You can trap the Dark Hand guys in another urn right?" Jackie asked looking to Uncle.

"There is already one urn and it's already occupied!" Uncle yelled just as the doors were literally blown off thanks to Chow.

"I am so buff!" the enforcer exclaimed. Finn and Ratso joined Chow a second later. Thanks to their new powers they could glide. They then leapt into the air ready to attack but Tohru chose that moment to block their path.

"Let's go!" I shouted before taking off.

Jackie, Uncle, and Jade quickly ran after me before Dao Long Wong and his new goon squad could follow. We ran until we entered a nearby park and we came to a stop so we could catch our breath. The dogs Jackie was walking were well behaved until they saw a Frisbee being thrown around. The whole group took off running dragging poor Jackie on the ground. Nearby Scruffy the noble dog wielding the power of immortality saw the Frisbee before emerging from a bush.

He grabbed the Frisbee in his mouth just as a Doberman grabbed the other end starting a tug of war battle. I shook my head while Uncle began to look for the right dog. As he searched I felt a wet nose nudge my hand. It was the same German Shepherd from before and I patted his head.

Lady Enya its me Shruikan the familiar voice said in my mind.

My eyes went wide and before I could reply Dao Long Wong finally showed up. Immediately Shruikan growled baring his teeth and he got in front of me in all protective mode. Scruffy was being held by Jade and had been almost zapped with Wong's magic.

Jackie got in front of Jade and handed over the many dog leashes to Uncle.

"Uncle walk the dogs" Jackie told him.

The dogs suddenly saw a cat which meowed and it took off with the group of dogs going after it with Uncle shouting.

"Aiyah!"

Wong's staff lit up again and Scruffy left Jade running towards the dark chi wizard. Jade tried to go after the small dog but Jackie grabbed a hold of her. Scruffy teeth sank into the bottom of Wong's robes and the wizard got mad.

"Mongrel be gone!" he shouted before zapping the mutt with his magic much to Jade's horror. However it didn't work because Scruffy escaped from being killed and he glowed a light purple aura and Wong's eyes widened when he realized the dog before him was the one who wielded the gift of immortality.

Wong picked up Scruffy while Jackie said not believing his eyes.

"That is the noble dog we have been looking for?"

Wong simply smirked before the enforcers appeared behind him. They got into fighting stances and Jackie made Jade move making her groan before the enforcers came head on. Well one of them did and it happened to be Finn. Shruikan snarled and he ran at Finn sinking his fangs into his right foot.

"OW! That hurts!" the enforcer shrieked.

Shruikan seemed to smirk until Finn shoved the disguised dragon aside with his foot. Shruikan made another bite attempt but this time Finn kicked him in the gut making Shruikan whine and he fell onto the grass on his side. I snarled before lunging myself at Finn. The enforcer was ready and the two of us exchanged punches and kicks against one another.

Nearby Chow yelped when he got smacked in the face thanks to a swing which made me smirk before I returned to my fight with Finn. He then tried to use his weapon to attack and the blade cut my arm. Having enough I summoned my lighting magic which crackled in my fist and I punched Finn hard in the jaw. He was thrown into the air and he crashed into the ground looking dizzy. Electricity crackled around his body.

I then went over to Shruikan who was struggling to get up. I felt his bones and breathed a of relief when I felt nothing was broken. Nearby Wong held his palm out ready to take the power of immortality from Scruffy. But the little dog opened his mouth and bit hard into Wong's hand hard enough to stop the dark chi wizard. Wong dropped the pup after being bitten and he rushed into Jade's arms.

"Cute too bad you gotta hand him over" Ratso said standing over Jade.

"Stay the f*k away from her Baldie!" I shouted running towards Ratso.

I jumped into the air and round house kicked him in the chest. The end result made the enforcer to go flying and he landed on his back with a groan.

Suddenly an electric blue whip surrounded Jade and Scruffy. I turned to see Wong was the culprit and I was about to react when I heard Uncle chant.

"Yu Mo Gui Fai De Sao, Yu Mo Fai De Zao"

A green whip made from Uncle's magic formed around Wong. The wizard growled before he disappeared in a cloud of blue smoke. Jade fell back onto the grass unharmed with Scruffy in her grasp.

Uncle's Salamander charm stopped glowing green as he blew on it.

"I maybe an old dog but I have new tricks" he bragged.

I shook my head and went back over to Shruikan. The dragon in disguise gave a bark and he buried his head into my side.

Later.

"So the dog talisman has been located?" Shendu asked after I returned home. My mate didn't know how Shruikan was able to avoid being erased by the Book of Ages rewrite but was glad to see he was back at my side. I already paid my landlord a dog deposit and the shepherd was asleep on the floor near the couch.

"Yes" I answered. "Until we find all twelve of the Chinese zodiac your magic will remain inside the animals"

"All except for the power of combustion which requires a noble dragon" Shendu pointed out.

"Dao Long Wong has a plan for that" I told my other half. Immediately his blue eyes lit up in interest. "He will plan on offering to return you to your true form"

"Or he could use a dragon shifter" Shendu added.

I mentally slapped myself in my head. I didn't even think about that.

"Nonetheless I have no desire to return to my true form only to be sealed in stone again I can't risk that especially with you pregnant" Shendu said in a serious tone.

"Just because I'm carrying our offspring doesn't mean I can't take care of myself" I told my mate in a disapproving tone. Shendu chuckled before coming up to me.

"There's that fire that drew me to you" my mate teased.

I rolled my eyes while Shendu placed a quick kiss on my mouth. The kiss made me forget scolding him and I wrapped my arms around his neck. My tongue went into his mouth which surprised him. However his tongue danced with mine wanting to see who was the dominant mate and which one was the submissive.

I had no desire to be the submissive partner which explained why I broke the kiss and I bit into his weak spot on his throat. My mate froze and I had him where I wanted him. I removed my lips from the bite and used my tongue in a teasing manner. Finally Shen shivered which was a sign of his submission.

"I need to take a shower" Shendu said. "Care to join me Little Fire?"

"Perhaps next time I'm hungry" I responded.

"Very well love I won't be long" Shendu playfully nipped my neck and I chuckled before he strode off to the bathroom.

I didn't know he could be so affectionate came Shruikan's teasing voice.

"Oh hush" I told the German Shepherd before I went into the kitchen to start dinner.
