are?”
That had Morgan’s head jerking up so
she could scan the room. “What? I didn’t know there were any here. Where are
they?”
Shay pointed to two cloaked figures
with hoods over their heads that were sitting at a table a few feet away from
the loud group of Reema males. From her vantage point, Morgan couldn’t see
their faces because of their hoods, but she did notice that they seemed to have
a large number of glasses in front of them. It was also strange, because it
didn’t seem like either of them were talking. They were just sitting there,
each of them taking a few sips from a glass before moving on to the next one.
“What’s with all the drinks?” Daven
asked before anyone else could.
“At first I thought they were just weird
when they ordered every drink we have, but I figured we’ve had stranger requests
in here, so I brought them what they asked for…after they slapped a huge pile
of credits on my tray. I was about to leave their table when one of them looked
up, and I have to admit, it shocked me to see that her eyes were glowing.”
Orion nodded. “The Dragon Warrior eyes
are unmistakable.”
“I wonder…can they get intoxicated?”
Blaiz asked, studying their table.
Shay’s eyes widened in horror, but
Morgan rushed to assure her, “As far as I know, it’s almost impossible for them
to get drunk. And it would take a lot more than what they have there… like, a
cargo container more.”
“Good,” Shay said with relief. “Because
if those two tore it up in here, it would be a total shit show.”
“I don’t think we have to worry about
that.” Orion glanced across the room. “I wonder who they are, though.”
Morgan bit her lower lip. “We have no
Dragon Warriors on our list of visitors for the grand opening. The ones I know
aren’t coming. I just spoke to my friend Alexis a few days ago. She just gave
birth to twins, and she’s on Tartarus right now. Is the other one female, too?”
Shay turned to glance at the two
cloaked figured in question. “Might be, but I’m not sure. As long as they don’t
make trouble, I’m fine with them drinking as much as they want. Crap, they’re
almost done with this round. I have to bring them another tray of drinks now. I’ll
be back with your food in a few.”
After she left, Blaiz asked, “Do you
think the Dragon Warriors are here because of the Xenon?”
“It would make sense,” Orion said. “If
both of those races have been around as long as I believe, they might have a
history we don’t know about.”
Out of the corner of her eye, Morgan
saw someone enter the sanctuary. She smiled when she realized it was Olivia. “That’s
Commander Jacobson. She’d a good friend of mine, and she’s totally going to
freak out when she finds out we’re bonded. Let me call her over so I can
introduce you.”
“You might want to wait on that. She
doesn’t look happy,” Orion pointed out.
Morgan had raised her arm to call her
over, but lowered it when she got a good look at her friend’s expression.
Olivia looked ready to do battle, and her sights were set on Axton Tavish, who
had just come out from behind the bar. Morgan flinched when one of the Reema
reached out and slapped Olivia’s ass as she passed by their table.
When Axton let out a roar of rage and
charged across the room, Morgan whispered, “Oh, shit…”
“Damnation,” Orion breathed, then he winced.
“I’d heard that the Reema could grow back their limbs, but I’ve never seen
someone rip one of their arms off before.”
“Should we call for security?” Daven
asked. “Or perhaps a cleanup crew?”
Morgan shrugged. “I’m sure security
will show up sooner or later. Stuff like this happens all the time. I wouldn’t
worry about it.”
Orion, Daven and Blaiz stared at her in
shock, but their attention was pulled back to the other side of the room as the
other Reema stood up. When Axton struck the first Reema using his own bloody
arm like a baseball bat, all
