on her as she doubled over laughing, "You think that's funny?" He said grabbing her arm, pulling her into the shower fully clothed and sticking her head under the spray.

"Gabriel," She squealed before she had a mouthful of water, "I'm still dressed." She said before he pushed her under the spray again.

"So?" He said with a wicked grin on his face. Grabbing onto the t shirt she was wearing he pulled it over her head and let it fall to the shower floor with wet plop before cupping her breasts in his hands and thumbing her nipples making her throw her head back in a moan so low that only his wolf heard it.

Blair clutched at his shoulders when he lifted her up in his arms and had her wrap her legs around his waist, "I love you." She whispered in his ear as she nuzzled his neck.

Gabriel froze, cupping her chin in his hand he lifted her face so he could look into her eyes. There were tears making their way down her cheeks, "I love you too." He said just as softly and lowered his lips to her.

Blair drowned in his kiss. So sweet and full of love. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close. She'd had so many firsts with Gabriel. The Claiming had brought it all into perspective for her. She wouldn't loose him, no matter who his parents were. He was hers like she was his, "Yours." She whispered as he entered her making her close her eyes, arch into him and moan out loud.
Chapter 8

Hours later Blair came down the stairs and looked around the empty kitchen. Pausing in the doorway she frowned, where did everybody go? "Gabriel," She called up the stairs and heard him come up behind her.

"What happened?" He asked her as he took in the empty kitchen and frowned.

"I didn't hear them leave. Did you?" She asked him as she stepped into the kitchen and Nick popped out from behind the open pantry door.

"Boo." He said and laughed when Blair jerked back into Gabriels chest.

"What the hell Nick." Blair exclaimed, "Do you

know where everybody took off too?" She asked him as she sat at the kitchen table.

"Meredith and Blake took off earlier this morning. Micheal and Brad are in the solarium." Nick replied as he dug through the refrigerator before grabbing the pickle jar.

"Oh." Blair said softly before looking out the windows into the forest. As her eyes scanned the trees a shadow moved making her narrow her eyes. She watched it drift closer and closer to the edge of the forest. Growling she stood from the chair and walked to the sliding glass doors.

"Blair? What's wrong?" Gabriel asked her as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Something's in the forest." She whispered as she continued to follow the shadow that drifted ever closer. Without thought she ran out in the back yard. When she was halfway to the forest the shadow charged. When it came out into the light Blair took in its appearance.

Taller than any demon she had ever seen he was at least 6'6", he circled her as she circled him, slowly she looked up at him, his face seemed familiar. She couldn't place it but she'd seen him before, "Who are you?" She growled at him and watched him stop moving and look at her with a slight grin on his face.

"What you hear is my ego deflating," He smirked, "I'm the demon Queens newest pet, but she's a bitch. All she wants is the head of a fairy on a platter and personally I feel that's a bit gruesome." He said with a shrug making Blair frown.

A demon that didn't like bloodshed, "So why are you here?" She asked him cocking her head to the side as he looked around.

"Well I sorta escaped from her dungeon." He said sheepishly continuing to look around.

"Did someone follow you?" Blair asked him becoming a bit nervous as he continued to look around.

"No, at least I don't think so." He said looking back at Blair with a worried look on his face, "I came here, because Nike and Atlas sent me."

Blairs mouth dropped open in shock. The gods had sent a demon, "Why?"

"Don't know," He said with a shrug, "By the way my name's Daichi." He said, "And if she figures out I'm here let's just say that I'm fucked." He glanced around again and spotted Meredith who had walked out of the forest a couple of feet from where he'd appeared.

She stopped in her tracks and stared at him, "Daichi?" She said as if she had just seen a ghost.

"Meredith!" Daichi said excited to see at least one face he recognized, "It's been years."

"I thought you were dead. She told me herself." Meredith said as tears gathered and she ran to him pulling him into a tight hug.

Daichi hugged her back, "No, she kept me in her dungeon. I remembered you telling me to summon Nike if she ever got me, and I did but the Queen had cast a type of spell. She couldn't hear me until this morning." He said as he pulled back.

Meredith turned and looked at Blair, "Blair this is the leader of the Royal Guard." She said, "My best of friends, he knows all my secrets and as I'm sure you can sense a demon. An incubus to be correct." She said as Blake came out of the woods.

Blair frowned an incubus protected us? How? By having sex with our enemies without them knowing? Seriously what was Meredith thinking? "So he was captured?" Blair said with a frown as something rustled in the forest behind Daichi.

"I was captured and put in the Queens dungeon for a couple months, then she decided beating me wasn't fun enough." He said with a shudder, "You know just because I'm an incubus doesn't mean I'll do it with just any random person. It's against my moral code." He said making Blair frown at him.

He was really weird, was all Blair could think when she heard the rustling again, "I think someone followed you." She said as something came through the trees at a full run and tackled Blair to the ground before it began dragging her through the wet grass by her hair into the forest.

Blair thought quickly and almost cried out when it yanked on her hair hard enough to have a couple strands break. Palming the knife she constantly kept in her lower back she sliced her hair off. She fell back to the ground with a thump and whatever had dragged her into the forest stopped and turned back.

"Kill it Blair." Meredith said as she ran up behind her.

"Ssshe can't kill me." It hissed as his forked tongue slithered in the air. His whole body was covered in scales except for the short cap of brown hair on his head.

"She might not be able to on her own." Meredith said transforming into her white wolf and knocking him off his feet.

As if nothing had happened he stood back up. Blairs eyes widened before she transformed into her own wolf and grabbed him around his neck. Locking her jaw she swung him around like a rag doll and let him bang into a tree with enough force that the tree rattled before it crashed to the ground. Meredith then pounced on him before she started mauling him while growling, "No one touches my granddaughter."

It wasn't working. Nothing seemed to keep him down long. Looking at Meredith she saw that she had transformed back into her human self and turquoise swirls covered her body and what looked like golden dust fell to the forest floor. Before Blair could think she was in her human form with her own turquoise swirls covering her body, "We'll kill him together." Meredith said her voice echoing with power.

"Together." Blair repeated her own voice echoing with power as they stalked him. He looked nervous now.

Meredith held her hand out towards him and a bolt of lightning shot out of her hand knocking him to the ground a smoldering circle on his chest where his heart should have been. Blair mimicked Meredith and fire engulfed him. He screeched as the fire covered his whole body before he burst into dust. The scent of burning flesh lingered in the air making Blair wrinkle her nose in disgust. That was a scent she would never be able to forget.

"We need to get back and find out what Daichi knows." Meredith said walking over to Blair, "Nice job by the way." She said patting her on the shoulder as they turned away from the pile of ashes.

"Thanks." Blair said with a grin as she noticed that Meredith still had her clothes even after transforming into a wolf. Looking down at herself she saw she still had her own leather pants and silky blood red shirt on. Her boots though had disappeared.

Meredith smiled, "I hope you weren't fond of those boots." She smiled with a sheepish look.

Blair smiled awkwardly, those had been her most favorite boots, "No." She said as they neared the tree line, "I hope Gabriel's not mad that I chopped my hair off. Literally." She said as she hesitated.

"I'm sure he'll be okay with it." Meredith said encouragingly as she pulled her into the backyard where Blake and Gabriel stood with worried looks on their faces.

Gabriel waited until Blair was in front of him before he pulled her into his arms, his hands at her waist as he buried his nose in the side of her neck. When he ran his hands up her back he didn't feel her hair. Frowning he pulled back and noticed that her hair only reached just below her shoulders, "I like it." He said his frown replaced with a smile.

"I've never had my hair this short." Blair said running her hands through it self consciously.

"Are you okay? Blake wouldn't let me go after you guys." He said frowning over at Blake who had Meredith in his arms smiling as she told him an elaborate story half of which she probably made up.

"I'm fine." She said with a smile looking up at him and stroking a hand down his cheek.

Gabriel turned his face into the palm of her hand and pressed a kiss to it, "I'm glad you're okay." He said as they started back into the kitchen.

"Gabriel, you have got to hear this," Brad said as he rushed into the kitchen with Micheal and Nick trailing behind him, "So we were talking to Roxanne and get this apparently Merediths whole pack
