The past few months have taught me a lot about how his moods and his condition work, so I know I’m right.
The muffled sounds of protest get louder and I blow out a slow breath as I finally loosen my grip until I can look down at him. His expression is angry, but I see the fear sparking in his eyes. I open my mouth to comment on it, but suddenly, all I can focus on is the tongue that darts out to lick his lips.

Child of the Underworld huh

The stocky red-headed man furrows his brow. “Why should I entertain a child of the Underworld and his pet?”
“Excuse me?” I blurt before I can stop. “No need to be fucking rude.”
“It’s not common for your kind to mingle with ours in this realm.” The dwarf shrugs, tilting his head as he studies us with zero repentance.

That is, if we can get to them without being paged to the royal tents.
“This is gorgeous,” Kat says, the awe in her voice apparent. “Is this what their realm looks like? Cuz you guys got screwed, man.”
Jasper snorts, shaking his head as he looks around. “This is being controlled by the Daybreak Court at the moment.

“You could introduce yourself, since you seem to be adept at guessing who we are,” Kit grumbles and we all stare at him in shock.
This was not the diplomacy I’d hoped for, but at least it wasn’t Jasper.
A bark of laughter escapes the enormous spider, his legs moving quickly as he scurries up to the kid. “You… You are not a royal at all, are you?

“Please don’t hurt yourself,” I murmur as I grab the drinks and pad over to sit them on the table by the couch. “Anton will be upset if you re-injure yourself and Jasper will definitely blame me for it.”
They wait until I get to my chair and settle in before they wink. “I promise I won’t fuck up my healing. A simple shift is not going to set me back.”
Dottie climbs up next to me, her big eyes fixed on

Isn’t it Annie’s?????

The big guy’s words make me bristle a bit, and despite it being stupid to question such a boon, I can’t help shaking my head, “Uh-uh. No way. I don’t want to owe anyone, especially not Jasper or his shithead father.”
“Don’t be stubborn, little demon.”

I’d swear he’s pouting, but how the hell does one identify that on a shark shifter?
Xerxes moves slower than me, but they get up on the table to Slash’s left and I head for the one on the right. Once we’re settled, Dank gives me a weird skull-faced smile again. “Excellent. We are all in agreement, then. I will mix the things I need and return shortly.”

Dottie moves from Kit’s neck, shaking a tiny fist and chittering loudly. That makes O chuckle and he holds up his hands defensively. “Okay, bitty brawler. I get it. Don’t tease him right now. Message received.”
“I cannot believe you guys talk to that rat,” Jasper grumbles. “It’s insane.”
Zavida clears his throat, his face pained as he looks up at the Prince.

I let out a relieved breath as he comes back over and the others slowly make their way inside. Oriel guides Salem to the next table and for the first time since the battle, he shifts.The panda looks a bit ragged,which isn’t surprising since he went full rage mode on a shit ton of opponents while Kit worked to protect X.Honestly,I thought it would be worse, but being in his animal form likely helped him heal faster.

Kit’s a pain demon?
