XANDER

That is one really fucking big bird.

That’s the only thought I have time for before I throw myself on top of a wolf who is already emanating menace from every cell of his body. “Get a grip, dude. Hawks who want to eat us for breakfast don’t circle politely and wave.” Unless she’s carrying a bomb in her talons and considering how best to reduce us to radioactive molecules.

I shake my head. The reading material I scrounged from the dumbass tourists wasn’t nearly as good as their soup. “She’s carrying a pouch. And she’s huge. One of the hawk shifters, I’m guessing.”

Milo’s growl says he’s holding tight to the breakfast theory.

Reasoning with a dominant wolf is like trying to distract a shark with string cheese. “See? She’s waving. And coming in from upwind. Those are good manners, in case you don’t remember what those are. Don’t bite her.”

I meet the hawk’s eyes in the dark. They look deadly—and strangely sympathetic.

Hopefully she knows that I don’t actually have the power to restrain Milo if he decides to tip fully over the edge he’s currently snarling on.

She comes in for a landing that kicks up dust and keeps a smart amount of distance between herself and Milo’s teeth. She arrives human, though, sliding on a pair of shorts and a tank top that would hurt my eyes in daylight—and shooting enough dominance at my brother to have his wolf yipping in surprise.

She holds up the pouch she landed with. “Delivery. Don’t chew on me or I might drop your next one down a handy crevice.”

Milo’s head tilts. Listening. Curious. Respectful.

Whoever this hawk is, she’s a very smart lady. She stood him down without offering a hint of challenge, and that’s hard enough to do with a fully sane dominant wolf.

It’s also a job that she shouldn’t have to do alone. I crawl off Milo’s ass and toss her my sleeping bag. “Those clothes might have worked four months ago. This is the part of Mexico where it actually snows and shit.”

She grins. “You two might have been easier to find in the snow. I’m Kendra Garibaldi, hawk alpha and occasional flier of heavy parcels. If you aren’t Milo and Xander Landon, I’m going to be really annoyed.”

No one has known my name for six years. It does weird things to my throat. “You’ll forgive me if I want a little more information than that before I confirm or deny.” Dead assholes don’t usually send messengers, but his evil cousin up in polar-bear country might.

That strange sympathy hits the hawk courier’s eyes again. “Bailey said to tell you that you still owe her twenty-three dollars and forty-two cents, and she expects you to get your ass in gear and pay up.”

My throat squeezes tighter. I don’t remember the amount. I remember exactly why I owe it. “I’ll get right on that.”

Kendra’s lips quirk. “She probably doesn’t know what pesos are worth. You could try paying with those.”

I barely remember what easy shifter humor sounds like.
