himself out and concentrated once again. He
identified the part of her that was not human, the
part making her immortal. It was so enmeshed
with the part of her that was animal, he just might
have a chance of healing it.

Relief started to flood him at the strong healthy
pulse of her animal part and his powers started to
flicker out. He pushed the relief away an Animal
Elf could only really control his power if he
blocked all emotion as emotion got in the way. He
would be unable to help her if he didn t push
them away. He continued on, searching for the
slightest inconsistency in her energy. When his
hands hovered over her throat, he felt a knot, a
blockage, there. He wasn t sure what it was, had
never found anything like it before and wasn t
sure how to fix it. He prodded at it with his
powers, gently tugging on pieces as if he were
untying a knot. One strand at a time it came loose,
and as the last piece broke free, he felt another s
power, power that had been gluing it together,
flow free. The power dissipated into the night
before he had a chance to grasp it and investigate
it. Not daring to assume it had been the only
problem, he continued his search down the rest of
her body, which was almost completely human
looking once again. Her tail had split and her skin
was only scaled under her wet clothing, which
clung deliciously to her body. She was practically
naked, a fact Lucas only managed to ignore by
keeping his eyes closed.
The rest of her body s energy gave no
indication of harm and after a second full scan, he
gave up. Her immortal animal half was healed

and so her human self would heal as well. The
relief he felt was so consuming, so overwhelming,
he was unable to hold it all back. His hands were
shaking as he started to peel her wet clothes off.
As more of her body was revealed, his cock
twitched and swelled, wanting her with the
desperation of their long separation.
Light running steps sounded in the hall outside
his room. Rive and Acquanetta rushed in and
glared near identical looks of fury at him. They
were wrapped in, no doubt stolen, sarongs and
looking completely human, aside from the wet
scales rimming their hairlines. The scales were
subtle and would be dismissed by a human, but
their flashing, fury-filled silver eyes, those would
not be dismissed so easily.
 What the fuck do you think you re doing?
Rive shouted quietly and rushed toward the bed.
 Is she going to be all right? Acquanetta asked,
more calm than her mersister as she, too, rushed
to Rina s side.
Lucas stepped back, with reluctance, to let them
finish undressing her. He walked toward the
balcony and stared out at the night, but could still
see Rina s flesh as it was exposed. The reflection
held his rapt attention and he felt himself harden
further with ferocious need. He took a deep breath
and reined himself in.
 I think she will be fine, I could only heal her

animal part however, so she may still take some
time to heal completely and wake up. I found a
major blockage over her throat. The backs of both
women stiffened and their hands momentarily
stilled on Rina s body.  I felt someone else s magic
there, someone did something to her. Lucas eyed
their busy movements reflected in the glass with
deep suspicion.
They undressed Rina and covered her in a
blanket.  Well, she certainly looks better. I do
believe she is merely sleeping now, recuperating
her energy, Rive offered by way of thanks.
Lucas turned around to face them. On the
outside he was his usual impassive self, on the
inside he was raging, because these two women
were keeping something from him, something that
was harming his mate. He would find out what,
but wouldn t waste his time asking them. He
would wait until Rina was up and would gain her
trust, then find out from her what was going on, if
she even knew.
The three of them settled into an uncomfortable
silence, all eyes on Rina, watching for the slightest
sign of consciousness.

dream, at least Rina was pretty sure it was a
Adream. It had to be a dream, a wonderful
dream she never wanted to wake up from. She
was with Lucas and she was serenading him with
their love song.
Rina cuddled closer to his warm body behind
her as she sang the final notes and started again
from the beginning. She had wanted to sing this
song for so long she didn t want to stop now that
she had started. She felt his finger caress her cheek
and push the hair from her forehead so gentle, so
caring. This was her Lucas, not the cold distant elf
he had become after his sister had found out about
them.  I love you, Lucas, she said as the song
once again ended.
