Well, damn. I didn’t think I could overpower a damned dragon unless I got him properly smashed first. But then he might shift and I’d have a drunk dragon on my hands destroying the property of people who didn’t even send Sage a dick pic.
“I’m listening,” I said.
“So, I’ll have to figure it out, but I’m pretty sure I can figure out how to take control of Blaize’s phone the next time he accesses the school’s messaging program.”
Khalid was nodding.
“Can you give us access to post on his social media? I’ll bet he has millions of followers.”
Savage. I liked this side of Khalid. This was new for me, but I was willing to learn digital revenge instead of the stabby kind. Especially if Blaize paid for all the dick pics, he was sending and I didn’t have to be parted from Sage.
I really felt like I was growing as a person. I guess college did that to people.
“Hey, did we just bond?” Khalid asked.
“Yes,” I said at the same time Lucian said ‘no.’
Lucian would come around. This unsolicited dick pic might be the one thing that got Lucian and me getting along.
It was weird. My side of the school decided we were just as guilty as whoever hurt Lola and Kira because we weren’t shunning Ivar, Ari, and Alexios. Saffron wasn’t the only one who saw them at the pub. Both sides of the school did before Liam started singing, either because they were giving them stink eye or just because all three guys were very pretty.
The supernatural side of the school that had been studying all this since they were kids knew I wouldn’t have screamed until the moment someone died. My side of the school seemed to think my banshee abilities were buffering, and I didn’t get the data until long after it happened.
They didn’t even seem willing to be corrected on the matter by me or talk to Khalid that Thor, Apollo, and the original bear shifter didn’t have the kind of magic that killed Kira. Based on the crash course I was given, Apollo was a Sun God, so literally associated with light and Thor couldn’t do that.
It was this angry mob mentality where the only facts they were interested in were the ones Lola gave them. Lola’s story kept changing. They had tohearthat, right? It was like they didn’t want to.
Now, I wasn’t just overly paranoid about these Forsaken Ones. I was paranoid about every single student on my side of the school.
“I’m not making excuses for them,” Morgana said. “They don’t know most of this shit. I had an advantage in coming from a witch family and I already knew about all this stuff before I got here. Professor Kane isn’t a reincarnation. She’s a really eccentric witch, but she knows her shit. If she doesn’t set them straight in the morning, she will the second week. Oh, this is for you.”
Morgana handed me a pretty necklace and wriggled her eyebrows at me like I was supposed to know what it was for.
“Um, thanks?”
“So, first day of Arcane magic on this side of the school, Professor Gefn is going to be going over birth control spells. All of you thought you were human, so I’m guessing birth control advice from your parents ranged from condoms, pills, or in your case, keeping an Aspirin between your knees until you’re married. The spell is easy, but takes time. I had a side hustle in high school selling birth control charms. I sell them here, too, but I like you, so yours is free. I gave one to Iman, too, before she got stuck.”
“Hey, what’s Blaize Vossen’s deal?”
Morgana shrugged.
“Supernatural royalty is a bit different from human royalty. They still have to obey most human laws, but they are actual rulers and not figureheads. Blaize gets most everything he wants and everyone kisses his arse. What’d he do this time?”
“I had a friendly conversation with him and then he sent me a dick pick.”
“Oh, yeah, I got one of those. Iman got stuck as a cat shortly after she got hers, so that might be why she’s stuck. He sends them out like Yule cards like it’s not unwelcome and gross. Elliot keeps fucking with him and Petros steals from him all the time, but even if we’re all reincarnated gods, you can’t punch that one in the face. Or cut off his dick as a present, should your man like to do that kind of thing.”
I groaned.
“I refused to tell them who sent the picture, but they dropped itwaytoo easily. If Liam isn’t talking, he’s up to something.”
“Uh, hello. I’m dating the reincarnations of Loki and Hermes. You don’t have to tell me that.”
“We aren’t dating, though. I know we are connected. They are all deathly hot and I like what I know so far. We haven’t had time to date.”
“Pretty sure all this death is foreplay to some of your mates.”
“Think Lucian is going to sneak in again?”
