CHAPTER TWELVE

“I’ve got it.” Xander dropped his dinner tray on our usual table in the corner of the food court. He grinned as he plopped down next to Kanze. “Cerberus.”

I gave him a look over the panini I hadn’t quite gotten to my lips fast enough. “You know I don’t speak geek.”

“Do you mean Greek?” Xander waggled his eyebrows with a grin.

“I meant what I said.” I stuffed the crispy edge of the panini into my mouth and closed my eyes, savoring the juicy roast beef. I’d always eaten meat in what I’d considered normal amounts, but lately it had become an obsession, which if left un-indulged would quickly transform into a frantic need.

When I opened my eyes, Kanze was shaking his head. “I don’t think I like where this is going.”

Xander groaned. “Come on, dude. It’s perfect.”

I raised my hand that wasn’t clutching the panini. “Still have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Kanze rolled his eyes. “He wants us to dress up like a three-headed dog.”

“Nope. Uh-huh. Not happening.” I shook my head, ripping off another chunk of panini because I couldn’t resist it anymore. “Not in a million years.”

Xander threw his hands up. “Guys! It guards the gates of Hell!”

This time, I didn’t bother swallowing before I said, “And that’s where you’re going soon if you don’t shut up.”

Xander banged his head on the table, nearly spilling his steaming bowl of stew. For a split second, I seriously considered snatching it off his plate and guzzling it down.

“Don’t. Touch. It.” he growled, curling his arm around it without lifting his head.

He’s still sore about last time.

Kanze grabbed Xander’s shoulder and tugged him upright. “I never even agreed to matching costumes, much less sharing one.”

“And I never agreed to costumes at all.” I shuddered. “Sorry, boys, but Halloween ain’t really my thing.”

Xander made a face like I’d punched him. “You’re killing me, Remi. We are not letting you spend Halloween night moping in your room. I mean, it’s a Ball. It’s like Prom, but without all the mean kids.”

“Are you kidding me right now?” I cut my eyes at the table where Winter’s pack sat laughing it up, most likely at my expense.

Xander glanced over and shrugged. “She’s not that bad. All she does is talk.”

A scoff escaped me. “Easy for you—”

“Has she ever put you in a dumpster?” Kanze asked.

Xander lifted an eyebrow. “Or dunked your head in a toilet and stole your shoes while you were upside down gasping for air?”

I sighed and looked down at my plate. “No.”

“See? All talk. Plus, she keeps those goons on a tight leash.”

Kanze stroked his chin, gazing almost dreamily in her direction. “I think she’s just very insecure.”

Xander made a grunt of agreement. “Definitely. It’s like, who hurt her, you know?”

I kicked them both in the shins, eliciting two high-pitched yelps.

“What’s Pack Rule Number Two, guys?”

Kanze grimaced, rubbing his leg under the table. “No crushing on the enemy.”

“And in light of this Ball, let’s review Pack Rule Number One.”

“No crushing on you,” Xander mumbled, shoving a spoonful of stew into his mouth.
