trust. Fix it.”
I don't wait for an answer, pegging back around and marching out of his rooms as the glass wall thuds with a frustrated punch, his ' fuck' reaching me loud and clear as I smile into the darkness.
Next stop, Deliah.

Deliah:
Lying on my bed with Bella, I'm delighted to have my own room with an en-suite bathroom. I was severely anxious that come nightfall I would end up in a deplorable position, but it seems there are little elves working hard whenever I'm not around.
Because I'm under 'Ewan's guardianship' until I'm inducted properly into the Eagle clan, my bedroom is just next to his quarters. So if I need back up it's available. Sweet, a little creepy, but still sweet.
I looked for him but he wasn't in his rooms, and I don't fancy trying to find him without a personal GPS so I know where to go and where not to go. It would help if they had walkie-talkies or something.
“Were your ears burning?” I ask, as a familiar shape looms in my doorway.
“ My heartstrings were resonating, how could I resist the insistent flutter in my chest,” he smirks, offering me his hand. “Before you get comfy I need to show you something.”
“ What?” I ask, suspicious, taking his hand and letting him draw me out of my kitty snuggle. With Ewan I half expect him to want to show me something rude under the guise of 'assistance'.
“ You were severely ill last night, in the throes of death to be more accurate. Because of it you didn't have the experience in the ashroom you were meant to have. I need to remedy that before your excursion tomorrow.”
“ Uhm, about that. Ewan I don't think I can do that, not on my own. I'm not a mediator or a negotiator, I'm brand new to this and refuse to be solely responsible for a war should I accidentally offend someone.”
His grin turns into a dashing movie-star smile, “You won't be alone, you'll have company.”
“Oh! Good,” I nod, thinking of Adam, or one of the normal guys I'm beginning to know, when Ewan says, “Gunn will accompany you.”
“ God! No! He'll conveniently push me off a cliff and tell you a crazy Raven did it.”
“ Nonsense Cotton, now stop being so melodramatic, grab Arrabella and let's go read the mist.”
“ So you're calling me by my last name now?” I ask, turning back to scoop Bella into my arms.
I like that he's included my little ruffian in his family dynamic. Never trust a man who doesn't care for animals. I learned that lesson the hard way.
“Cotton suits you, all soft and growing wild, a little speck in the landscape that looks like a solidified prayer which never loses its color, never fades, it stays vibrant and resilient. Your surname most definitely suits you darling, makes me want to cuddle you.”
Smirking at him while we walk the way to the ashroom, I say, “As long as you don't call me two-ply we'll get along just fine.”
His eyes flare amber, his neck tendons twitch out as if he just strained his arse holding in a fart when he rounds on me and snarls in a vicious growl, “Who called you that?”
Bella's hackles brush out as she growls back at him, and I scramble to soothe the drama, “Jeez Ewan, it was school days. Take a chill pill daddyio.”
Visually deflating with relaxation, he gives me an apologetic goofy smile, “Sorry, old habits die hard. If any of these men give you a hard time don't you go and protect them. You tell me. I refuse to have anyone insult you, even if it is just in jest.”
“ I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself.”
He stops again, facing me, “I'd believe that if I hadn't met Dias this morning. Cut the tough chick act, you don't need it around me, okay sweetheart?”
“Ewan you're jumping on a raw nerve, use that tone again and I'll demonstrate how easily you'd fit into the choir.”
Ignoring my challenge, he plants his hand on my back, guiding me forwards into the cave I puked all over, “Do you have everything you need in your room? I sent Brian out shopping
I don't wait for an answer, pegging back around and marching out of his rooms as the glass wall thuds with a frustrated punch, his ' fuck' reaching me loud and clear as I smile into the darkness.
