Introduction
Tybalt:
It was
raining and I was stuck in it, fumbling with the key to the apartment I shared
with Wolfgang. My ears flopped down,
melding with my fiery hair. I was
soaked and unhappy. Finally I got the
key in the lock and opened the door.
The smell of cookies and hot cocoa wafted towards me.

entry room but I was still soaked.
It’s pouring!” Wolfgang said, throwing a clean, warm, towel over me.

“Uptight bastard.” I growled.

wasn’t important to me. As I walked to
my room I stripped off my sopping wet clothes, leaving a trial of clothes down
the hall. With the towel draped over my
head, I pulled a pair of sweats out of a drawer and jerked them on before going
back out to see what Wolfgang was doing.
He was sitting on the couch, sipping a cup of cocoa.

resist my charms. He sighed and handed
me the mug he was sipping on. I smiled

was playing with.

scratch and rub at my ear.

was he marking me? I didn’t understand
why he was but it felt nice. His lips
closed around one of my ears and he tugged at it.yes\"> A low whine of pleasure escaped my lips and he chuckled.

I growled, “It never has.”

this prison? What did I do to deserve
being sealed here in the first place? I
sighed and threw another coin into the glass.
I wasn’t sure how many years had passed, not that it was really
important. My term of imprisonment
wasn’t set. I had to wait for someone
stupid enough to undo the seal.
Hopefully it wouldn’t be some idiotic woman.yes\"> I hated them. I suppose
that it could be attributed to the fact that one had sealed me but then again I
hated them before that happened. My
tail flicked restlessly across the ground, the ebony tip wrapped around a wine
glass I had nearby and brought it to my lips.
At least my prison was well stocked with, not only good wine, but fine
clothing and food. A loud bang made me
jump, dropping my glass.

grabbing a pair of loose fitting pants and a comfortable shirt.

“Idiotic woman, can’t even make a prison correctly.”

small glowing hole caught my attention and I smiled, someone was playing with
the fabric of my prison. I would be
free soon enough. Sitting back to
watch, I waited for the fool to finish breaking through my prison.

grew when I saw the one who had freed me.
It was a fox-shifter, not only that but it was male.

verge of changing so he could get away.

I looked for in a pet. Responsive, a

very soon, “What is it mother?” I hissed, my black tail flicking restlessly

person as you are, well, more so then you are.
You have no right to treat me like this.” I said before turning on my
heels and walking to my room so that I could pack a few sets of clothing and
get my cache of money.

just wanted out of there and away from those damn humans.

permanent place, but it was still too close to home.yes\"> I sighed, I hated this. I
had hoped to wait until I could find someone to live with but that obviously
didn’t happen. As I drove I realized
that I was hungry. I would have to stop
somewhere for lunch before going anywhere else.yes\"> I smiled, spotting a burger shop.yes\"> This would do quite nicely.
Parking my car in the little lot in front of the shop I got out, locked
it, and walked inside. There weren’t
many people inside but one caught my eye.
He had thick black hair with a pair of matching ears poking out of
it. He was the only shifter in the
place and he was gorgeous. I knew just
by looking at him what he was, by his scent.
Shifters could always tell who was what by their scent.

deep in thought; “I’m sorry. Good luck
in finding a place that will accept a shifter.”

you want just please.” He looked at me skeptically, “I’ll cook, I’ll clean,

I\'ll leave as soon as I find another place to stay.” I begged.
“Alright Raphael, you have a deal. You
can come live with me but remember that you said you’d do anything.”

worry about it. Where do you live?” I

and we walked to my car. Without a word
he unlocked the door and got in, hitting the button to unlock the other
doors. I hopped in the passenger seat
and he started up the car.
Tybalt:

him that long. I was worried about him,

my eyes I was right. The door opened

Tybalt.” He said calmly, ignoring my outburst, “I think he’s a little
jealous. He has this thing against me
having other friends.” He turned to me, “Can’t you be just a little nice to

awhile.”

he’ll keep his room clean and help keep the apartment that way, unlike you.” He
growled, “Just deal with it ‘cause he’s not going anywhere.”
I sighed, “I’m not going to bite and since the almighty Wolfgang has spoken I
won’t be too mean to you.” I said, rolling my eyes, “It’s not like I should
even be jealous, there’s nothing between us.” I mumbled.
“I really appreciate this.”
Imakuni:
no idea why. I didn’t know what came
over me to accompany the dragon-shifter.
It was insane! I shouldn’t have
gone with him, shouldn’t have risked myself.
Dragon-shifters were notoriously possessive and they kept other shifters
as pets. Being a rare breed of shifter,
a silver fox, he probably wanted to keep me.
I was a little worried about what was going to happen but something drew
me to him. It must have been his
natural charisma; dragon-shifters had power over people, not just humans but
shifters as well. Kiero was no
exception. He was gorgeous.

He was rare, just like I was.
Although dragon-shifters come in different colors, black dragons were
rare and I knew, just from looking at him, that he was a black dragon.

After I had released Kiero from his prison and we had our introduction,

Wolfgang:

shower, “Don’t know about Raphael yet though.” I small smile quirked up the
corner of my mouth, “That should be fun.
He did say he’d do anything.”
my type. I wasn’t sure about Raphael
yet. He seemed closer to the kind of
person I went for. I liked the more submissive
ones and Raphael begging me to let him stay had certainly spiked my
interest. Having a mate was something
that all shifters did. It didn’t matter
what sex they were, it just mattered that they were with someone.

wasn’t going to be Tybalt.
