Siobhan flushed, happiness threatening to overwhelm her entire body at the sight of Aiden. He had been her dearest friend in High School and she largely credited him for her rise to fame. If he and Kyle hadn’t formed Blarney Stoned, she’d probably be somewhere in New Orleans or New York, working a minimum wage job and trudging through life without aim. He had been a rock for her throughout it all. The last few years had been a little rough without her best friend, but she was strong.
But, Luna, it was amazing just to be back in his presence. So much to catch up on. And a new boy toy in the picture? She’d have to corner that one later, interrogate him about his intentions. He smelled fine, nothing sour about him… He didn’t exactly smell innocent, however; but that was hard when Vitya was right next to her. He smelled the sweetest in the room.
Siobhan politely waited while Aiden made pleasantries with the albino cop. At Sage’s introduction, she pulled the tall, lithe male into a sisterly embrace.
“Very good to meet you, Sage. Treat Aiden well, otherwise, I’ll sick my wolf pack on you.”
We will not eat this one, Ebony called out to her over the animalistic bond.
“You’ll do it and like it,” Siobhan said absently to the she-wolf.
Aiden smirked, but there was a faint hint at an eyeroll. He cut in.
“She’s not lying, Sage, although Ebony would never eat someone I care about. I don’t know about the other six… Where are they, Sio? Did you leave them in America?”
We will not eat him, Aiden, Ebony prattled on.
“He can’t hear you, Eb. You know that,” Siobhan shot back.
He knows inside himself.
“Does not. Aiden, she said they won't, but I say they will. The others are here in the CCD, I had them flown out when we touched down in Europe. They’re roaming the woodlands, scattered, but Ebony or I can call them back together if need be.”
Tell him of the dream, Ebony urged.
“I’m getting to that,” Siobhan muttered to her before looking back to Aiden, Sage, and Lih, “Lih, you can stay if you want. Don’t feel pressured to leave on our part. Aiden, Sage, how’d you two meet? Can he Channel too? The others told me you can, Aiden. Oh, and um, you aren’t planning on leaving the country any time soon, are ya?”
Visions of a cavern and a great beast flashed in Siobhan’s mind as she asked the question. It had been the Wolf-Dream. It didn’t come on her often, and it had never shown her images before… But a few nights ago… It was horrible. She wasn’t sure what it had meant in the Dream, but she had awoken afterward with an overwhelming desire to seek Aiden out. He had to know what she saw flashing across that ethereal sky. Omens of danger.
She hadn’t seen him in so long. Despite Ebony’s insistence, she wouldn’t launch into some insane tirade about prophecies or dreams. They had to catch up and she had to feel this Sage out. She would work it into the conversation somehow, but they should have been comfortable way before any of that. She turned back to the kitchen island and grabbed a few glasses of wine, beckoning them to the stools.
“Not my place, but c’mon. Let’s get comfy and talk. Sage? What do you do? Are you taking care of my brother from another mother?”
