Chapter Eight

Badger led the way back his cabin. Once they were all inside, he locked them in. “Put her down on the floor.”

Bebe had perked up a little with the change in venue, but she still looked sleepy. Joaquin set her down on the rug.

Badger turned to Tamsin and Dewi. “There’s blankets in my bedroom. Grab one each, and wrap it around ye. Eh, strip back there, if ye please.”

“What are we doing?” Tamsin asked.

At least she seemed to be temporarily pulled out of her funk.

“We’re gonna give the little princess a few hints. Most shifters grow up seein’ other shifters, and they take a hint.”

“Isn’t she still kind of young to shift?” Dewi asked.

“Mebbe.” He scratched at his hair. “But it’s all I can think to do. If she never sees it, she’ll never know it’s possible. Right?”

Dewi led the way to the back of the cabin.

“I remember what a time Chelsea had learning how to shift,” Peyton said. “She was four, and so frustrated. Every time we’d have a run, she’d chase after her brothers, trying, howling, not wanting to be left behind.” He chuckled. “Finally, one night, she got so mad, she tripped and fell, but she was on four legs by the time she hit the ground. Then she got all tangled up with her clothes and went rolling, ass over tail. I thought Asia and Gillian were going to kill me and Trent for laughing, but it was funny. But she’d finally figured it out.”

“One of me sisters didn’t shift until she was nearly ten,” Badger said. “We’d honestly thought she’d never shift. Then, one mornin’, she trots out o’ the bedroom she shared wi’ me other sisters and lets out a howl. She’d shifted in her sleep and couldn’t figure out how to shift back. Took her three days.”

Duncan smiled. “I remember hearing about that.”

Before Joaquin could ask more about it, Dewi and Tamsin emerged, naked, with blankets wrapped around them.

With a grunt, Badger lowered himself to the floor next to Bebe. “Now, listen, wee one.” He threw his head back and howled, which drew a deep belly laugh from Bebe. She threw back her head and howled in response.

He pointed at Duncan, then Peyton, and Joaquin, for them to all howl in turn.

Bebe’s grin widened and she clapped her hands, enchanted and howling with them.

He looked up at Dewi. “Ye’re next.”

Dewi and Tamsin sat in front of the toddler, and Dewi howled. Bebe giggled and replied. Tamsin finally seemed to be wearing an authentic smile and her howl sounded a little different, but Bebe still giggled and howled.

“Tamsin, ye shift first, if ye please.”

She did, Duncan reaching over and picking up the blanket for her, where it was now draped over her back.

Bebe gasped and stood. “Auntie Tam! PUPPY!” She threw her arms around the oversized corgi’s neck and hugged her.

Tamsin softly chuffed, which Joaquin knew meant amusement.

Joaquin cleared his throat. “Badger, can I ask a stupid question?”

“Because I don’t want to scare her, right?” Badger said.
