“Do you really think my ass is fat?”

“Well, honey, it ain’t small.”

“I think we better be careful throwing stones from that glass house, Santiago.”

“I can’t believe you called me crazy bitch!”

Angie dropped Sara’s hand and turned on Miki. “The Don Corleone of the Magnus Pack? What exactly is wrong with you?”

“Don’t yell at me!”

Angie turned away from Miki, her hand up and in front of Miki’s face. “We’re done.”

Miki growled, slapping Angie’s hand out of her face. But instead of ripping into her, as Angie expected, Miki focused on Sara. “Don’t worry, Sara. You’re sane. Weird, but sane.”

“How the hell do you know?”

“Hey, dude. I’ve done the research. I’ve lived every day worrying that I’d cross that line between brilliance and madness.”

“Brilliance?”

“Shut up, Santiago. Anyway, I know all the signs, I’ve taken all the tests. You’re a freak, Morrighan, but you’re not an insane one.”

“Good to know, Kendrick.”

Miki grinned like she deciphered the Rosetta Stone.

But Angie did feel like she’d leaped her first big hurdle. Getting Sara to deal with the truth about her mother. Not easy, but she’d done it. Next step…the truce. But this wasn’t the time or place for that conversation. No, she’d have to ease Sara into that one. But she was determined to do it. And she had just the idea to help her start her stubborn friend down that path.

“I was thinking, once Nik is safe back in North Carolina and desperately trying to forget me…”

Both her friends snorted at that and rolled their eyes, but she ground her teeth together and barreled on, “I thought we could go shopping.”

Sara, confused by the suggestion, frowned at Angie. “What? Why?”

“Because that’s what girlfriends do.”

“Normal girlfriends. I can shift into a completely different species. And she’s…,” she glanced at Miki, “She’s crazy.”

“I am not. I took the test. I thought we just had this discussion.”

“I know, momma. I know.” Nik covered the mouthpiece of the phone and motioned to Ban. “Call me,” he whispered fiercely.

Ban, laughing, leaned back. “Nik. I need you.”

With a grateful nod, he returned to his mother’s rant about how she wanted all “dogs” put down for their insolence.

“Momma, I gotta go. Ban needs me.”

“But you’re okay, right?”

“Momma, I’m fine. Really. I’ll call ya later.”

“All right, darlin’. I love you.”

“Love you, too.”

Nik clicked off his phone.

“Love you, momma,” his brothers sang to him.

Growling, Nik chucked one of the pillows at them. His brothers, after a moment of staring at him, threw pillows back. They’d been hoarding, waiting for this moment. Nik slammed pillows back at them as fast as he could. They took cover behind seats and cried “incoming.”

They kept it up a good five minutes before the captain came out of the cockpit and stared at them.

“I thought we had this discussion, Mr. Vorislav.”

Nik sighed, “Yes, we did.”

“No playing when the plane is in the air.”

“Yeah, but…,” Ban began, but the captain cut him off with one look.

“No playing when the plane is in the air. Do you understand me?”

The men nodded.

“I can’t hear you.
