Dagan smiled as he felt the silver connection between himself and Morgan suddenly shine. As he listened carefully to it, he heard it whispering words of love and devotion from Morgan to his heart. Dagan took the love and sent his own back along the chord of silver, even if Morgan did not realise the full implications about what she had just done, he did.
Dagan looked up to see Thierry studying him. Shifting nervously Dagan wondered if Lord Thierry, the renown Vampire Lord was trying to get into his mind. It was worrying to think that his secrets would be out there in the open, but Thierry already seemed to know so much about him that there was little else to hide. Except, of course, the small matter of Morgan being a Wild power. Dagan banished the thought before it could be picked up from any mind-listeners, there was no way he was going to take any small risks when dealing with his soulmate's issues.
Out of the corner of Dagan's eye, he watched as Bambi began to shift into a werewolf. Noticing that she actually felt threatened, Dagan released a hand from around Morgan and brought it to his side, ready at a moments notice to create Witch Fire.
Morgan shifted in front of Dagan, moving into his remaining arm and to the side, allowing him a better view of the scene before him. What he saw made him freeze a little inside. Every member of the party Thierry had brought with him looked ready to fight to the death, there were some violent creatures in the Lord's group and Dagan was not looking forward to fighting them, as able as he was himself.
"Please!" Morgan gasped at Dagan's side, noticing the reaction of Thierry's people. "Don't fight! Please! Just… What do you want?!"
"Just to talk." Came the reply from a calm Thierry. "We probably aren't as different from you as you may think we are."
"Yeah, right!" Bambi's voice came out as a growl more than actual speech, but Dagan could pick it up just as clearly. Bambi did not trust these people in front of her and natural instincts were taking over.
"It's true. You probably think I am some tough Night World leader. Some enforcer of our laws." Dagan was beginning to realise there was pure conviction in his words so listened intently. "You are wrong. I have my own soulmate, and she is a human."
It took a moment for the words to come through to Dagan's brain; the words fit the man, but did not fit Dagan's memory of who this person was. He frowned thinking about it. Could it be true, or was Thierry lying in an attempt to get Dagan's trust?
"That's great, er, Thierry is it?" called Morgan across the floor before Dagan could say anything. "However, why come all heavily armed and scarey looking if you are claiming you want no fight?"
Thierry just shrugged, looking a little guilty. Dagan felt the corner of his mouth go up in a small smile. It did seem quite silly really, then he thought of the other people surrounding Thierry, most of them were relaxing just slightly now, the air did not seem so heavily charged as it had been moments ago.
"Ok, Thierry, let's hear your story. Step into my office as it were." With those words of his hanging in the air Dagan stepped to a side, allowing Bambi to go first leading the way, then stepped in sideways with Thierry and Morgan at his side.
He would find out what Thierry was up to, looking through the window he shook his head at the face bobbing there and Sky disappeared to go about her new task.
He would listen to Thierry alright, but not for one was he going to step down his own security for Morgan, not after he had just gotten her finally where she belonged.
A.N. I am Sorry that it has been ages since my last chapter. I have been busy with so many things, work, holidays, getting ready for Uni, it has been hard keeping track. But here it is finally, I will try to get the next chapter to you without too much waiting hopefully – I just need to get back into my routine ya-know?
