Lighting streaked
across the sky, sending shards of ripples over my bird like arms. It was the
one thing I hated about my body. Being an Eagle Shifter left me with thin arms
and they always rippled when the wind picked up, or there was static in the
air. Last couple of nights they’d stayed in the state of water like waves. The
Lords of the Sky have been at each other’s throats since the New Moon. None of
my underground sources knew why. All they could tell me, which wasn’t hard to
figure out, was that it was major. The Lords never fought each other. Or not
since the turn of the century when Zamon’s wife caught him in the bed with her
human sister. It was then that the Lords decided it was best if there were only
male parings among the humans. Most of the underground subject kicked up a
ruckus over what they viewed as disgraceful. I’m still am not sure if it was
the fact that the undergoundlings could mate with humans, or if two men would
be mating together. Neither mattered to me. All I cared about was finding the
perfect mate that would make me happy like my mother and father had been for
all their lives.
“You spacing again,
son.”
“Sorry, dad.”
Ralph shook his head and sighed. “What do you think happened this time?”
His dad looked
skyward and then back at his mother. I followed his eyes and found my mother
frowning. Not something I ever saw her do. The woman was a post card of
happiness. My father worked hard to ensure she stayed that way.
“What’s up?”
“We have to
Rebecca.”
“No we don’t.” My
mother snapped and crossed her arms. “They left it up to us.”
Left what up to
them? Who? If it had been anyone other than my parents I would have interrupted
them and demanded to know what they were keeping from me, but . . . Parents did
what they thought was best for their children. Or his always had.
“You know it won’t
be much longer before he finds out. Best if it is from us.”
“No. He is my son.”
Every muscle in my
body tightened and my stomach quivered. My parents was not one to keep major
secrets from me. They had always promised me full truth.
“Rebecca . . .”
The sky lit up
with a huge streak of lightening and a gray mist drifted down from the middle
of it. Seconds later a hazy like image formed in between me and my parents. The
shape did not take long to form and when it did, I found myself falling to my
knees in front of the main Lord himself. Zamon, the holder of the ability to
shift into every animal known to mankind.
Zamon’s image
turned to face my parents and gave them a small bow, then refaced me. “Stand my
son.”
