parents’ permission; and we, being hellhounds, are even pushed into it, to speed up the hellhound population.”
    “Okay, I am so not doing the marry thing, and children are definitely not in my future plans; thanks. But I won’t mind hitting first base with him.”
    Laughing, another guy came in and greeted Lada and I. His name was Dagon and he was Lada’s Custos . After the greeting they both left, leaving me alone to think about this whole business of marriage and stuff. No way in hell.
    I was the last person left, everyone being collected by their Custos ; clearly mine also had no care for the words “on time”. So I planted myself on the couch and watched MTV.
    “Kasadya?” a guy’s voice said behind me. I turned around to see who it was, only to find an even sexier guy standing there.
    “Yes,” I replied. He had dark brown hair reaching below his jaw, emerald green eyes, and a well-trimmed beard running around his mouth to his chin and jaw. It almost looked like he hadn’t shaved in a while.
    “I’m your Custos . Come, Maia awaits,” he instructed, then turned around and walked out. What the-?
    Jumping up I ran to catch up to him. Yeah, not even “Hi” or anything just, “Come”. Man, I have a really bad feeling about this. I caught up to him and walk behind him to the front lobby, and then outside.
    “My Apprendo reports directly to the arena. I will not waste my time on you again, understand?” Chax said, not even bothering to look at me.
    “Yes,” I replied, anger blasting through me. Okay this guy was beyond grumpy.
    We walked in silence onto the brick street, passing many buildings and houses until we came to a street full of little shops. It looked a lot like the ally in Harry Potter. Reading signs from food to weapons, each shop provided something else. This must be their main street or market.
    We reached a little shop almost tucked away between two bigger ones and he walked in, the door opening on its own. Inside the little shop was something more like a house, a nice lounge greeted us for a warm welcome.
    “Maia,” Chax called, ignoring me.
    A blonde woman came into the room from another door. She had blue eyes, a slim figure, and a beautiful, warm smile on her face.
    “Chax.” She greeted him without even looking at him; her eyes were on me while she walked over to stand in front of me. “Welcome young one, I’m Maia,” she said, greeting me with her hands on my arms.
    “Hi, I’m Kas,” I replied, glad to see a happy face after a half an hour of seeing only someone’s back.
    “If you’re done, you need to spark her so we can return and begin her training,” Chax said. I looked behind her to see him looking at us. Wow, finally he’s at least looking at me.
    “Chax, that is the only reason you ever come to me, so keep your pants on,” Maia said, still smiling at me and holding my arms. “Now let’s give you your spark and see what beautiful creature awaits us.” Suddenly I felt a buzz from her hands going into me.
    It spread through my entire body, giving me goose bumps. She released me and took a step back. From the goose bumps I felt warmth spread through me, and then I felt the transformation, my muscles and skin stretching and growing. I looked at my hands and saw them turn from normal to bigger hands with sharp nails and fur spread all over them. Looking back at them, I saw that I was taller than both of them. Wow.
    He was looking at me from top to toe, inspecting me without a word. I saw a small smile on his face and the moment he saw me looking at him, he turned his face to the window and walked away. Okay, so he’s a hide-and-seek kind of guy. I turned my eyes back to Maia who stood there grinning like a schoolgirl.
    “Fabulous,” she said, looking at me.
    “I hope it’s not bad,” I replied.
    “Let me show you,” she offered, and moved her hand in the air; a huge mirror took shape in the air in front of me. Okay, now this is something new. Looking back
