hammering in his head still pounded, but as long as they were all ok, it didn’t matter.
    “I’m a Phoenix. Normally, at least. Recently, I was also a dog,” Jason said as he looked up, his maroon-ice eyes sparkling with mirth. D cocked his head to the side, trying to figure out the runt. Phoenixes were solo creatures, and D wasn’t sure he had ever heard of a mated Phoenix.
    “I didn’t think Phoenixes had mates. In fact, I’m pretty sure that a Phoenix mating hasn’t ever been recorded, but then again with the fall of the Elves, matings didn’t get recorded. Do you know what we are?” D asked curiously, pausing to look at Nathan for a moment, before shrugging. D wasn’t sure why they never were recorded, but maybe it was because they liked living solo. It was possible they had mates, but ignored the bond for a life of solitude. D had enough of that life and wouldn’t go back to it for anything.
    “I know he’s a wolf, but I’m not sure what you are. Your smell changes from species to species,” Jason said after a moment of thought. He spoke quietly and took his time before finishing. It was almost as if he was thinking about what exactly to say that wouldn’t offend D. D shook his head with a smile. His mate had a long way to go to heal from whatever his life experiences were. They all had a long way to go, and D nodded his head at the realization that they were meant to heal each other. Fate had been right in deciding to mate them.
    “I’m a changeling. At least, that’s what my kind was called back when I was a child. I was born Elf, Dragon, and Incubus. As a young child I was infected with other Shaper-Shifter blood, and Vampire blood. So I’m a little of everything. My strongest forms are only the ones I was born with, but I can shift into other creatures,” D explained, not going into the details of the attack itself. He knew Jason would find out, but the attack wasn’t important anymore. Nathan had accepted him, even with all of his issues. Jason would accept them, or he wouldn’t have been fated to them.
    A low rumble of noise echoed and D almost slammed his head against the bedframe. Nathan looked at the window, and D realized the noise was coming from outside. He pushed himself off the bed, and struggled to stand up. Jason was there immediately, holding his arm, leaning his smaller body against D. D felt his cock harden at the feel of the lithe body against his. Desire flooded the air and coiled through the bond from Nathan. D glared at Nathan for a moment, until Jason pressed his cock against D’s side. His irritation at being turned on against his will faded. D eyed the small man, fascinated by the desire that sparkled in his eyes. Angel’s voice broke the eye contact, and D struggled to not snap at his brother.
    “It would appear that a Dwarven Envoy is approaching the city. They are waiting at the edges of our lands for permission to enter, and the expected honor guard to escort them here.”
    “So, escort them, and open the old Dwarven hall for their use. I’ll be along”—D cocked his head and slowly looked Jason up and down, before turning to Nathan to lick his lips at the sight of his mates—“shortly.”
    “You cannot be serious. Mother Earth!” Angel swore as he closed the door.
    D listened for the receding steps as he smiled at both his mates, one of which needed to be claimed. Jason pulled the hem of his shirt over his head, and Nathan closed the distance to stand behind D. Jason met their stares with a smile that said he knew he was attractive. Attractive didn’t cover it. D hissed through his teeth at the sight of his pink nipples. His fangs dropped, and his eyes turned the Vamipric red that said he wanted blood. Nathan grabbed D’s hips, as D slightly jumped toward the smaller man. D growled his displeasure at Nathan’s hands holding him back.
    Jason laughed as he flipped the top button of his gothic jeans, showing his light colored treasure trail, and nude skin
