Dahlia is the Queen of the Spirit Fey Court. Jude is a Hybrid with a chip on his shoulder. When the two are together, sparks fly but that doesn't mean everyone around them likes the sparks they see. Picking up from the meeting of Jude and Isa in the first Vella book "The Witch & The Hybrid" follow the story of Jude and Dahlia.
Tonight had been an odd night. Isa and Jude, brothers. It made me vaguely recall running into Jude back in ISOA days but... He looked a lot different. Acted a lot different too. Time sure did take its toll on people. Now they were both over here seeming to argue which was not what I signed up for tonight. At least I cloud see the beginning signs of it starting, having my own sibling made it that much easier to spot. Glancing at the girl as she asked for a drink I gave her a bright smile ignoring the two boys.
"I got you, don't worry." I said to her, she was pretty.
Dark hair, natural beauty to her. She seemed to have a bit of spice to her as well, given the attitude she'd thrown already. I had to say? I liked her. Looking back at Jude though I gave him a look as if saying he'd lost his fucking mind which really? I felt like he had just lost his damn mind, there were a few things I wanted to say but getting involved in any form of family affairs was not something I wanted to do and something that i knew better than attempting to ever do.
Isa had said something didn't he? Right, Pyro. I glanced at him. "Pyro, right," I said slowly. "Oh wait, Pyro! Of course! He's your nephew!" I said and looked at Jude right after. "Jesus you two act alike how did I never stop and think about it...."
Shaking my head I started walking away, and found Pyro quickly. Isa wasn't able to stay with everything going on, so I needed to tell Pyro so he could tell Alexion. Finding him I relayed the message quickly and then watched as he looked over my shoulder towards where they were sitting and somehow managed to turn even paler than he was before taking off. Right, well then... I started on the girls drink and as soon as I was done walked back to the area and slid it to her.
"I'm just going to throw my two cents in here for you at least..." I said to her, leaning against the bar top. "But, if Isa ever thought of you as nothing more than a one night stand? He'd never check here to see if you stopped by. He does it, daily. Believe me."
Isa looked at me almost dumbfounded before looking at Jude, something was said before I heard a growl of. "Don't fuck with me right now, I barely have patience for you as it is." Christ, they were horrible right now.
Jude's smirk seemed to fall away from his face as he heard my voice, staring straight at me before looking back to Isa. "Wait, Pyro's my what?" He asked slowly, his brows knitting together. "That kid? Figures... What the hell did I do?"
Noticing the look in Isa's eyes he simply laughed, god I hated my job some nights. I loved these two to death to varying degrees but this was a lot.
"Do you think your little wolf scares me, f*cker?" He snapped at Isa.
"Enough you two!" I snapped. "Calm the f*ck down!"
"Go console your little one night f*ck and leave me the hell alone."
I was going to scream. I really was going to just scream in a second from these two.
"I'm not a slut..." The girl said slowly and I looked over at her, of course she was in on it now too. "And I look younger than I am. I could crush you if I really wanted to, you know. I play with the dark arts, what was your name? Jude?"
I pinched the bridge of my nose as I listened to the three of them, this was actually getting beyond out of hand. I heard the sigh of the girl before looking up at her and seeing her smiling sweetly at me. "Can I have another, please? I'll probably take it to another table."
I saw her eyes immediately avert and linger on Isa after, soon a blush seemed to creep along her cheeks and she looked anywhere but him. Despite the stupidity going on, this part of it was adorable. They needed to talk.
Opening my mouth to speak, I felt a faint pain stab my abdomen and then my head before it was entirely gone. Flinching from the pain, I blinked my eyes a few times and watched as Isa's fist slammed into Jude's face before he grabbed him by the front of his shirt. Nope. No. This was not happening in my bar. Groaning, I made the girl another drink and slid it to her before raising my hands and flinging them in different directions watching as they were both ripped apart from one another immediately. Folding my arms over my chest I glared at the pair.
This was beyond stupid at this point, they were acting like literal children. It was almost embarrassing how childish they were acting and over what? Their egos? F*cking men. They were lucky I liked either of them because had they been anyone else I would've thrown them out already.
"Isa, I'm going to say this once. Go somewhere, until you are calm enough to think straight." I snapped at him, pointing away and then set my eyes on Jude. "And you, come with me."
I let out a sigh and came out from behind the bar, making my way away from it with a beer in hand towards a booth in the far, back corner away from everyone else. Pyro came from Alexion's office, seeing me and I gave him an apologetic look before gesturing to the men and he only motioned for me to go. At least he understood.
Was this how these two always were? Ready to go at one anothers throats for any given reason they could rationalize?
Hopefully if Isa got away from him and just cleared his mind things would work out a little easier and maybe then he could speak to that girl. Zen, I think I heard be used for a name. As for Jude though, I had to hope maybe if we got out of that situation he'd calm down a little himself and not be so... rude? I didn't know any other way to explain how he was acting.
He was being extremely asshole like towards his brother though and seemed to be having fun with it which only got under my skin more. Because, with me, he never acted that way. I didn't want it to turn out that how he was with me was a lie or something, I didn't think it was so as quickly as the thought came to mind I shrugged it off.
Getting into the booth, I let the curtain fall back over, blocking any eyes from us and vice versa as I waited for him to get in as well. It was a privacy booth. In a place like this there were many different uses for it but right now the main use was going to be me getting to understand what the f*ck was going on in his head or trying to.
Hell, they had me worked up even. I never was this anxious or annoyed. Maybe I needed it just as much.

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin.

"Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
