Stronger than the Boys {1}

Chapter Forty - Wings, Magic, and Wolves Oh My!

Jeremy started shaking in the car. Jay and I chatted with Zara a little, but she, too, seemed to be on edge.

"Did you let anyone know we're coming?" I asked Jay as quietly as I could. 

He grinned and nodded.  "My family knows."

I nodded back and sighed; I had texted Jeremy's eldest brother, Lee, to let him know we were coming too. Everyone at home seemed to have texted me back full of excitement that this was going to happen. Telling a human, more importantly, Jeremy's mate, about the existence of Legions was a huge deal. He would be the first to do it, and hopefully, the rest of our brothers will follow someday too.

Jay pulled up to the houses, and everyone popped out of the car as fast as they could while still seeming normal.

Jay grabbed my hand and pulled me up to my house. I waved at Zara and Jeremy, "have a fun chat! And remember, we all still love you guys!"

Jay just got me to rush a little faster into my own house.

"What?" I looked at him funny.

Jay rolled his eyes, "hurry up and go change."

I teleported up to my room as soon as he shut the front door and dropped my bag on my bed. I stripped out of my top and jeans then, put on a pair of leggings, and a bikini top, then teleported back to Jay and grab new shoes to change into.

Jay changed in our bathroom, and then we went out the back door together. The last thing I expected to see was Jeremy freaking out to a mad Zara already in the yard. Jay's pack was nice enough to not be outside, but Jeremy's brothers and mine were on the porch.

Jeremy finally spotted me and looked at me for help.

"Raven, help." He pleaded.

I shrugged, "if you can't say it, then show it."

Jeremy frowned.

Jay whispered, "you can show."

I raised an eyebrow and then pulled Jay out to the yard. Jeremy looked alarmed.

"Do it," I urged Jeremy.

Jay and I were both grinning at him. Jeremy took off his shirt, and Zara's anger turned into alarm.

"Do what?"

Jeremy sighed, "We aren't human." Zara then looked at him in horror as his wings came out of his back.

Zara screamed. And screamed.

"Ouch," Jay said.

I cringed and let my wings come out of my back, then I grabbed Jay and flew up into the sky. That action seemed to make her stop screaming. Jay let out a 'whoop,' and we flew around the yard before going up and up and up. All of our brothers followed me up and Jeremy stayed on the ground with Zara. They were obviously chatting rather loudly, but the wind around my head and Jay's laughter were making it hard to hear them.

"Do you think they'll be alright?" I asked Jay when I got high enough to coast on a wind current.

Jay grinned at me, "anyone who would turn down a lifetime of being about to fly like this is a crazy person. They'll be just fine."

I gave him a small smile back and then leaned forward to kiss him. He was surprised but welcomed the rare show of affection I was initiating.

We flew around for a bit, through trees, across the waves, high in the air, and then went back towards the island. Jeremy was sitting with Zara on the beach.

I landed as gracefully as I could, then had to hold Jay upright as his legs were wobbly.

"How are you feeling?" Jay asked Zara with a grin.
