Eyes flashing open, Dani glared at the other woman. “No. You’re right . . . All he can do is kill her,” she said harshly, and then turned to glare at Magnus again. “Turn her.”

“He’ll turn me,” Allie said before Magnus could respond. “We’re life mates now.”

Dani didn’t even take her eyes off of Magnus to look at her, but stared past her at him and insisted, “Tonight.”

“Tonight,” Magnus agreed on a sigh.

“Good,” Dani said, relaxing. Finally looking at Allie again then, she smiled and hugged her. “Congratulations. I hope you two are very happy.”

“Thank you,” Allie murmured, hugging her back. “Stay safe.”

“We will,” Dani said, and then released her and turned to slip back through the crowd to Decker’s side. Expression solemn, he took her hand and then turned to lead her out to the garage.

Allie watched them go, but her mind was on the subject of no-fangers. Sam had mentioned them first, back at the Enforcer house. She’d wondered about it then, but they had been under Lucian’s “no questions until after” order and by the time “after” had come, she’d forgotten.

“Allie? You are very quiet. Are you all right?” Magnus asked with concern, clasping her shoulders and urging her to lean back against him.

Before her back could touch his chest, she turned and managed a smile. “I’m fine. I was just wondering what a no-fanger is.”

He hesitated briefly, but then said, “An immortal without fangs.”

“Oh.” She considered that briefly, and then asked, “Is that such a bad thing? Your people don’t bite people anymore anyway. You drink bagged blood. And why would that stop her from having children?”

Magnus paused briefly as if considering his answer, and then explained, “No-fangers are the result of different nanos than immortals. It was an early batch that were tested, but proved problematic. While it worked well in a third of the patients, a third died and another third went insane. That was enough to make them halt testing with those nanos and go back to the drawing board. They eventually came up with a new batch of nanos, the ones that immortals have. After the fall of Atlantis, those of our kind with the second batch of nanos gained fangs, but the patients who had received the first batch did not. We called them ‘Edentates’ if they were sane and ‘no-fanger’ if they were insane to differentiate the two,” he explained. “As for Dani having children, technically she could, but she does not wish to risk having a no-fanger child.”
