Everyone—my mates, their warriors, and Amber— gathered in the main cabin, sharing breakfast and cakes with me to celebrate my return.

The gods would retaliate. They must be hunting me now, but at this moment, it was all joy.

I talked non-stop and laughed at my friends’ and family’s jokes, even when some of their jokes were pretty bad.

Boone placed a big cake on a porcelain plate in front of me.

“You sure you can finish it all, Cass?” Hector taunted, arching both eyebrows. “You need some help?”

I pulled the cake closer to me in a defensive position, and the warriors chortled.

“Don’t make my mate panic,” Pyrder said. “We just got her back.”

I debated for a second, and then cut my cake in half and put the other half on a spare plate. “That’s for all of you to share, for this occasion only. Don’t expect me to give up my cake every time. And don’t forget to save a piece for Amber.”

The seer looked at me gratefully from across the table. The cake Boone made for me was always the best. He didn’t just use his special recipe; he poured his friendship and affection for me into making that special cake.

The warriors all knew that. While they eagerly divided the half cake among themselves, I told them about the gods’ endgame.

“We’re the collateral damage,” Alaric concluded, “just like last time. But this time, they have no intention of sparing Earth. They don’t care if we go up in flames when they leave.”

“They don’t want to damage their own world.” Pyrder sucked in a breath. “So they picked Earth as their next battlefield. We’ll show them where we stand. If we go down, we’ll drag them down with us.”

“It’s better we don’t go down,” Lorcan said, sending me a doting glance. “We must plan our next steps carefully and strategically. Now that we know their true intentions and what they’ve planned for us—thanks to our mate—we have a better chance to deliver our blows to their very heart.”

“A few goddesses are on our side,” I said. “They have their own scores to settle against the male gods.” My eyes burned. “We can turn all the goddesses against the male pigs! We can start a revolution from there. I’ll do it.” I waved my fists at the warriors after I inserted a spoonful of cake into my mouth. It melted on my tongue. “All the sexists, misogynists, male chauvinists, and supremacists will go the fuck down!”

I scanned the warriors in the dining room, waiting for a challenge.

Pyrder chuckled and raised both hands in surrender. “Sorry to disappoint you, Cass baby. There aren’t any male pigs here. Let’s focus on killing the gods and winning the war.”

“They’re the god race,” Alaric said. “They don’t think like us. They never will. No matter how hard some gods and goddesses try to be your friends, we can’t trust any of them, but we will use them.”

Lorcan nodded. “They’re more fickle than humans.”

“First step, we need to locate the elemental shifter who led Cass into the trap,” Reys said.
