How come I haven’t been invited over?

I hear we’re meeting a witch.

How fun!

We’ve been busy.

They are very talented.

I’ll see you tomorrow.

You can meet the witch.

Awesome.

Are you happy?

Very

What are you doing?

On a very boring date.

Don’t tell my sons.

My lips are sealed.

Hopefully, not the ones in your pants.

Shit. He’s glaring at me.

Gotta go.

Love you.

“Everything alright?” Atlas asks.

“Perfect,” I whisper, tracing his lips. He kisses my fingers and returns his attention to Allie, now on her knees, throwing food at the screen.

“How could you not know he was going to die? He’s the bad guy,” Luca says, smiling at her anger.

“He didn’t have to,” she cries.

So perfect. My heart overflows with love. I found people who care about me. The fiercest creatures are the ones who love the hardest.

I know; I’m surrounded by them.

Chapter Sixteen

Sally

Isnuggle my ass close to the body behind me. My eyes refuse to open, and I don’t try very hard. The movies continued through the early morning. I stumbled to bed at two and was halfway asleep when my mates joined me. Most people would find it odd that when we have a killer after us, we take time out to have fun. I’ve learned that if you don’t enjoy life despite the bad times, you never will. Allie had a blast and crashed in the spare bedroom. The guys loved it even though they disagreed with the movie selections. In my sleepy state last night, I heard them discussing the merits of the action scenes while climbing into bed.

“If you wiggle one more time…” Atlas rumbles.

“What will happen?” I mumble, barely restraining myself from doing it again.

“I’m going to fuck you.” His arm tightens around my waist.
