Blaz kept close tabs on Alden and his human lover. He was
beyond livid that Alden would endanger their mission to keep the weak human.
And he was insanely jealous, a feeling he did not want, nor understand. He had
no interest in humans. That was, until he found one that made his blood boil
and his mind disoriented.
The others were as angry as Blaz that Alden would jeopardize
what they had to do, what they were created to do. All except Durriken. But
Durr could see the future, a gift only he possessed. Maybe he knew something
they didn’t. Or maybe he was just being his usual self, silent and brooding.
Bottom line, Durr made no attempt to convince Alden it was wrong to keep the
human.
It was during an insignificant scuffle that Blaz came across
a small human that mesmerized him. The man was quiet, terrified and in need of
protection. An intricate part of Blaz that he could not deny. He’d just never
felt his gift so acutely for a being that was not of his kind. Nor had he ever
felt desire such as he did with this man.

Kinley wasn’t sure he could believe his eyes. A dark shadow
battling several beings bathed in a white light so bright that he’d blinked
continuously. But he couldn’t deny the feeling he had right before the white
figures showed up. Pure, unadulterated terror. A feeling so foreign that he
didn’t recognize it until he was cowering against a concrete wall and his
flight or fight instincts vanished.
What he found when it was all over, was an ordinary man
standing in front of him with his hand out. Well, not ordinary, not as gorgeous
as he was. Without thought Kinley took the man’s hand and let him help him from
his crouching position. It was when he saw him in a feeble streetlamp that
Kinley was sure his mind played tricks on him.
But there was no way he could deny the feelings coursing
through him for this man. The feelings of being protected—and desired
overwhelmed him. He suddenly knew he’d follow this man anywhere. He just didn’t
know what that entailed until it was too late.
