The primal urge to obsessively access your uni portal to see if your classes have been released, so you can read the syllabi thirty-seven times before class next week.

I reach over and take Nero’s hand. I kiss the back of it, smiling. ”You aren’t being dense.” I take the turn smoothly and continue to talk while I can. ”We were happy, and then we weren’t. The pressures put on us by our families and the fact that we never had a chance to love another contributed to us breaking off the engagement. Cassi had her own reasons, but I can’t tell you those. We were betrothed at birth. I am several years older than Cassiopeia, but our fates were sealed when her prophecy was read — at least according to our families. If Cassiopeia and I had married and bore children, a new species would have been created essentially. Her rare magic, which not even her ancestors possess, and my ability to shift partially or fully and to be able to shift into a dragon. My ancestors each have a human form and a secondary form. Mine is a dragon, which was a rarity, and now, like Cassi, I am the last of my kind. There are shapeshifters, yes, but they are of a lesser line. They are born in one form and shed their skin to possess another. I don’t shed my skin; I simply shift. And my dragon form possesses their own magic and abilities. So, I have three times the amount of power. Our families coveted what Cassi and I had and wanted to create something new. So, you see, we were in love, but we weren’t our own selves. We were little more than chattel being pushed this way and that to serve a greater purpose.” I parked the car behind the moving truck that was already there and shut the car off. I looked at Nero. ”Neither one of us wanted to be told what to do, but neither of us thought dismantling our union would tear so many apart.”

”That’s something I can’t tell you, but I can tell you this. Cassiopeia and I were betrothed when we were both quite young. We tried to make it work, dated even. I courted her for quite a while, and we were happy,” I say, smiling as the memories sweep through me. ”But the only reason we were fated to be married was because of who we are and what our families wanted. Power. I am not a normal shapeshifter; I am stronger and different. My family line is different, and Cassi, well, Cassi, was destined to be the strongest of her coven. I’ll let her tell you about that when she wants to, though. Anyway, Cassi and I decided to break off the engagement. We loved each other but didn’t want what our families wanted. When we told our families, it caused a massive rift within the communities. We ran. After that, on top of a few other ill-timed and destined events, Cassi has a difficult time putting her desires first. Even if there so clearly is an opening for her to be happy, and both sides want it, she’ll still suppress it.”

”It’s fine, Nero. I shouldn’t be so uptight. It’s just… It’s a long story for another time.” I say.

I fall silent in the backseat, and Caden turns on a little bit of music. He weaves in and out of traffic, but I barely register how fast we are going. Or when he puts the bag of fast food in my lap. I barely realize we’ve made it to the police station until the car door opens up.

I shift in my seat and go to get out, but Caden is there, crouched in front of me. He places his hands on my knees and looks at me with those soul-searching eyes. I hate those eyes.

”I’m fine, okay? Nic was just flirting, and then Nero needed my phone, so I didn’t respond to Nic, and then he panicked and said something that he really shouldn’t have, and then I just… Shut down. It’s fine. I’ll be fine.” I grab my food, and Caden hesitates before I give him a look. He stands and helps me out.

”We’ll be back soon to offload the furniture. The food for Mr. Wu should be here in a couple of hours,” I tell Cassi. She nods, waving me off. I watch her walk into the police station before I get back into the car and look at Nero.

”She’s too stubborn for her own good. Damn Scots blood,” I curse before peeling away from the station, speeding down the road. ”So, where am I going?” I haven’t been to Nero’s, so I’ll need directions of some kind.

Ah. I nod in understanding and pat Nero’s leg before I pull away and drive out of Chinatown.

”How about we get some lunch? And then I’ll take you to the station, Cass.”

”Ya, sure,” I agree, but I’m in my own world at the moment. I know to Nero, it seems silly, but there’s a lot more going on in my head than a boy trying to flirt with me.

We’ll see you at 6:30 I send, effectively ending the conversation for now.

”There isn’t… I mean, there shouldn’t be, but I…” I sighed and rested my head back against the seat. ”I don’t know.” I look back at my phone when it buzzes.

The car door opens, and Caden gets back in. I ignore him and answer Nic’s message. Haha, it’s okay. Let’s just stay away from that topic of conversation.

”What did I miss?” I look between Nero and Cassi, the latter of whom looks on the verge of tears. I raise an eyebrow and look at Nero.

I fidget in the backseat while Nero makes their phone call. It is complete torture. They finally give my phone back and I look over the damage.

”Oh my goddess,” I groan. No, no, no. It’s fine Nic, that’s not what I thought I was just…on the phone. I sent the reply and put my head in my hands. Great. ”Why is this so difficult,” I grumble.

My entire face drops, and I look at Nero. ”WHAT!? Noooo no no no. Of course not. Why would you think that? What did you see?!.” My entire face turns red as I try to think back. Nic has never said anything like that, and neither have I. It was just a little harmless flirting. It was incredibly inappropriate flirting, given the circumstances, but that was it.

”Um, sure.” I pull up the phone so they don’t have to hunt around for it. And so they hopefully don’t see Nic’s messages to me. I hand Nero my phone and take a minute to just breathe. I forgot how much I had just done in a short amount of time, and it was starting to catch up to me.

”Perge.” I respond in Latin. At least then I would know what they find so amusing about me. I find myself suddenly thirsty and I remember the water bottle I brought with me. I pull it out and drink half its contents.

I’m running through a checklist in my head when I get a text message. It’s from Nic I nearly choke on my water.

I pat Nero’s leg. ”I know, but you have to play nice. Not so much pranking yet.”

Cassiopeia starts choking in the back and I look around at her with concern. ”Are you okay?” I ask, quite concerned.

”Fine….fine,” she wheezes. ”Drank too quickly.” I nod, not fully believing her.

I pull up to the restaurant. ”I’ll just be a minute. Nero, Rufen Sie Ihre Hausgäste an, um sicherzustellen, dass sie uns helfen, alles in den Umzugswagen zu laden.” I get out of the car, leaving it running for them, and head into the restaurant.

”Ich habe ihr gesagt, dass es in Ordnung ist, Menschen zu vertrauen. Das ist eine lange Geschichte. Ich kann Ihnen einiges davon erzählen, aber nicht alles.” I rest my hand on Nero’s leg, it becoming an automatic now, and drive towards the restaurant.

”Quit talking about me in German. Caden, you’ve got the caterer and things lined up for tomorrow?”

”Yes ma’am.”

”Okay, good. I’ll tell Avery to pick up Nik and Mr. Wu at 6:30 pm.”

I look at Nero and smirk. Sometimes, it was best to just let Cassi do her thing. We would have to calm her down after everything was done, and she would have nothing to obsess over.

I sent a quick text to Avery about picking up Nic for tonight and bringing them to the police station. Avery replied immediately and assured me they would be looked after well.

Nic’s message comes in next, and I respond quickly to it, caught up in the moment. I wouldn’t mind. He’s quite generous.
