know if that option is appealing
to you.  That said, we can get a witch to ward your rooms, so not everything
will be heard if you take my meaning?  Sierra said you were a bit uncomfortable
about that aspect of things although it’s natural to us.”
    I looked at her in surprise, and she kissed me, “I can read
you pretty well Ben.”
    I had to admit, the idea of them not hearing our
extra-curricular activities was somewhat of a relief.  Sharing a living space
with the others suddenly became a lot more palatable.  Not that they wouldn’t
scent it after the fact, but I didn’t mind that part nearly as much, that they
would know we were together, it was the hearing us while it was going on part
that weirded me out a bit. 
    I wondered though, if I could create my own wards.  I didn’t
think so and pulling for knowledge didn’t prove me wrong either, I could do the
personal alarm wards, because I was basically creating a mental connection that
I constantly powered.  I suppose I could add an alarm type ward, but the drain
of trying to shield out sound or scent with air magic would take too much power
for me to fuel from a distance.
    That said, I could set up the wards every time we were…
together, or in my case it would be closer to a shield, not a ward, and it would
last until our room got out of range of my sphere of connected air.  It was
worth a try anyway.
    “So who is all going to Tara’s?” I asked, getting back to
the other subject.
    Derik said, “All of us, Todd is training to be another
enforcer.”
    That made sense I suppose, Katie and Gerald were enforcers
already, Carrie was training as a new mystic under Selene, and of course Derik
was the alpha and spoke for the pack.
    “We’ll appear in my office, it’s not a far walk to Tara’s
shop from there.  That way we won’t be seen.  You might want to close your eyes,
since it can be disorienting.”
    I pulled in magic from the sphere of air that I was
connected to around me, and had it take us all to my office.  Ten dizzying
seconds later, I opened my eyes and we all stood in the new spot.

    Tara’s store was closed when we got there, and I could feel
her in there through my magic, not to mention her own magical aura.  As I made
a habit of doing, I verified there were no wards that would drain my access to
air or fire.  There were wards there, but nothing that would block my
connection to the elements.  When she answered the door she looked, exhausted. 
She didn’t look bad, on the contrary, she looked like a normal human woman
would after primping for a few hours in preparation for a night out.  But she
was missing that little extra that had always been there, not that she really
needed it.
    Her long red curly hair flowed down her back, caressing her
voluptuous curves.  Her bright green eyes sparked with intelligence, though I
could make out a weariness in them at the moment, and her beautiful heart
shaped face was absent the normal mischievous smile.
    Tara said, “Come in,” and shut and locked the door as soon
as we were passed her.
    Now that I was on the inside, I could feel the wards being
beat down, attacked with magic from outside.  It wasn’t so hard to figure out
why she was so drained once I felt that.  I reached for the knowledge of who it
was, and unsurprisingly was completely blocked, except that I could feel there
was more than one person behind it.
    I was moved to do something helpful, and tried to duplicate
my fire and air weave, but quickly realized that wouldn’t work.  My connection
to the fire element only extended twenty-five feet, too small to wrap the
entire store and guarding a portion of her wards would hardly work.  Air
however was a different matter, the store was completely within my sphere of a
hundred and fifty feet, and I slammed up an air shield and pumped power into
it.  It wouldn’t be perfect, but it would completely block earth and less
