He shoveled the last bit of dirt over their buried evidence. “That about does it. I don’t think anyone will be able to tell. And if they can, they’re going to have one interesting archeological dig.”
“I’ll magic some grass over it tomorrow.” She’d had enough power left over from work, and with two power orbs from Flint’s stash, they were able to move the broken pieces into the hole they’d partially dug with magic and partially with shifter muscles. Then she’d levitated the pieces into the hole and they’d covered it up. But now they were both drained. “Mia knows. But she won’t tell anyone else. And Carter’s too busy with the ShifterChat buyout.” There would be no more attacks now that Carter controlled the competition.
Emma smiled. “The buried statue is our little secret.”
“More like a huge secret.” Flint kissed her cheek. He’d sent a large check to the restaurant to replace the stolen statue. So it wasn’t a complete secret. The restaurant owner wasn’t too mad. The publicity of the missing dragon had made business boom for the last month, and with Flint’s large check, he planned to buy real stone ones.
She cocked her head and laughed. Emma had another secret, too. A vision she’d seen today. But then visions about yourself . . . this one wasn’t anytime soon. Flint’s hair had been longer, and hers was shorter, and the hand of the little boy she held was small, soft, and holding a frog. Which had made her jump in the vision, and then she’d lost sight of it before she wanted to. But the feeling had stayed. Things were going to be better than okay.
She kissed Flint’s dusty cheek. “You ready to go home?”
“I’m always home when I’m with you.”

I have a free novella on the way. Shelter, how Flint’s older sister met her mate.
Discovering you're a shifter witch hybrid when you have to get your classroom ready for a bunch of teenagers is hard enough.
But finding out your fated mate is the new hot science teacher in the room next door . . . not good. Especially when Vivianne keeps blowing things up. Cars, toasters; nothing is safe from her recently unleashed, misdirected powers.
So how is she going to keep her new mate safe from haywire magic? And keep her classroom from discovering this new secret? And, worse, fight her wolf's urge to mate?
It’s going to be a long year of hormonal high school students. Fighting this growing mating bond every time she walks into the teacher’s lounge with these potent pheromones swirling about is going to be nearly impossible.
