“That means all of you have these phones?” I asked; I remembered the device Marcus used to record my 1v1 exam looking similar.

“Yup. We don’t normally carry them with us, but now that you have one, we’ll have it on us.” Ryder pulled out a similar replica in black.

“That means I’m connected to all of you? If I need you, I can just call or text you?” I asked, unable to grasp such a useful device.

They nodded.

Daniel stepped forward, pulling me into a hug.

“Now, you’ll always be connected to us somehow and were only a call away. If you ever need us, just press the button. Deal?” He pulled away to look at me.

“Deal!” I agreed. He leaned forward, kissed me lightly on the lips before pulling away. I frowned, wanting more than just a simple peck, which caused him to laugh.

“I’m in line remember? Ryder gets dibs.” He chuckled.

“Fine. Um. Does this take pictures, too?” I wondered, staring down at the weird icons on the lit-up screen.

“It sure does, Firefly,” Marcus answered.

“Can we take a picture? Is there a way to fit us all in?” I started to jump in place, unable to contain my eagerness.

A picture with my knights and Eli.

“What about Elias?” I realized Elias would lose the chance to take a picture now that Eli was taking over.

“He’s asleep he won – fuck. Jeez, when did your cranky ass wake up? I swear...fine, fine, we’ll switch after we take the first pic,” she huffed.

I gave her a devilish look. Of course, Elias would never miss a chance. I could only imagine the scowl on his face as he fumed at the fact he wasn’t being included, the thought made me giggle in glee.

“Alright, let’s huddle. We should be able to fit,” Ryder encouraged.

Daniel took the spot on my left. Ryder was about to take the opening on my right before Eli slid under his arm, wrapping an arm around my waist.

The demon shifter frowned, giving her a look.

“Don’t give me that look Ryder. There’s too much testosterone. Mako needs balance,” she stressed, blinking her eyes.

I laughed.

Ryder mumbled,I’ll get my revenge,before walking to Daniel’s side. Eli didn’t know what she had gotten herself into.

“But, you’re a boy,” Kai commented, taking his place behind me with Marcus, being the tallest among the others.

“Elias is a boy who’s impatiently waiting for us to take a picture, so he can have his turn. Now, come move closer Captain Obvious,” she defended.

“So how are you going to put the pictures together?” I inquired.

“Don’t worry; I’ll get Marcus’ friend Junho, to photoshop him in. He’s really good at it,” Eli explained, her hand glowed to life as the wind picked up my phone and positioned it far enough so we all fit in the small frame.

“Photochop? Wait, you’re going to take Elias and chop him? And then magically infuse him into the picture? That sounds painful,” I replied, trying to imagine the process.

Marcus’ laughter was the first amongst the chuckles and giggles that followed.

I turned to face them, frowning. Eli rubbed my back as she rubbed at her eye.

“Mako, you’re one of a kind,” she praised.

“I told you that already. Obviously, there’s no one as unique as me,” I replied, confidently. We cuddled together, ready to take the picture when I remembered something. “Oh! One sec,” I turned to Daniel, pulling his glasses off his face.
