An hour later, headed our way was a pert peachy orange cat, her eyes catching the dim light here and there and flashing bright green.

“Imma eat that cat,” Roe said.

“You will do no such thing,” I snapped. “She’s my familiar, you dumb fuck.”

He grunted as I used our connection to push him back a few steps. Just to make sure he remembered who was running the show.

Oka slowed as we approached her.

“How far back are they?” I asked, wanting to know how much more time I had to prepare for the inquisition I’d face over the ogre in my charge. Rightfully so, too.

She stared up at Roe and ignored my question. “What the hell is that? It looks like a zombie on steroids.”

“His name is Roe,” I said. “And he knows where there’s a semi-magical garden filled with food.” There, that sounded better than he thinks there might be, maybe, a place with food of all sorts but he’s never actually been in the garden.

She tilted her head and looked at him. I twisted around to do the same. Tattered clothes hung on his body, and his gray skin really did give him an undead appearance. She wasn’t far off the mark. Oka wrinkled up her nose. “Really? And you believed him?”

“Nope. I bound him to me. So if he’s lying we’ll feed the caravan with him.” I smiled.

She nodded in approval. “Oh. I like that idea. But he looks as though he’d taste like shit.”

I was grateful Roe couldn’t hear her assessment. Alex snorted. “I’m with you on that, cat.”

I didn’t bother to ask if Mac was back yet. His bond to me was stretching still farther as he covered more ground. Even though the caravan had moved, I knew he’d find me. We were never lost to each other, as long as one of us was alive, just as Oka could find me anywhere.

“The humans won’t like this new addition,” Oka said.

“No shit,” I said. “But I don’t see another choice right now.”

Jasmine was already working to pit them against me and bringing an ogre in wouldn’t help my case. Never mind bringing the ogre who killed that last caravan into their midst. But they didn’t know he’d killed the others and for now, I wasn’t about to tell them.

“You keep your mouth shut until I say.” I gave Roe a look. “Got that?”

He gave me some sort of weird, sloppy salute where he wiggled his fingers at me. That would have to be good enough.

Richard was the first of the caravan to reach us. Well, sort of reach us. He stopped about twenty feet away from me. His eyes widened when he saw the ogre. His jaw dropped, and Roe laughed under his breath.

“Looks like he’s trying to shit an ostrich egg.”

“I said be quiet,” I snapped.

Richard shook his head, rubbed his eyes and looked again. When Roe didn’t disappear, he slowly approached.

“Pamela. I’m sure there is . . . well, some kind of explanation for this. A good one.
