CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Birds of a Feather

Something about Tally was different. Falcon couldn’t put his finger on it, but it bothered him. She’d hummed in the shower and hadn’t even cursed his closet gnome when it wouldn’t give her a pair of socks. She seemed happy.

He did realize that on the surface that sounded like ten kinds of shitty. Falcon wanted her to be happy, but the way things were headed, the world was going to end swallowed by a wolf. Maybe it was the kind of manic joy that came with just saying “fuck it”?

Falcon wandered downstairs to warn his mother and brothers that Tally had spent the night—and would be spending the night for the foreseeable future.

He saw his mother, Stardust, fussing over some potion or another on the stove. The house smelled like homemade chocolate chip cookies, still gooey from the oven. His mother was cruel that way. Not intentionally, of course. She knew how her boys loved homemade cookies. It was just the ones that came out of her oven never tasted like cookies. Sometimes sawdust or ferret bedding, but never cookies. Potions she could do, but cooking—he was sure there was actually a law against the way she did it.

“Just where the bloody hell have you been, boy-o?” Raven demanded as Falcon walked in and dropped a kiss on his mother’s forehead.

“You’re not British,” Hawk corrected him.

“No, but I like to say ‘bollocks’ and ‘quim.’ ” Falcon imagined Raven could feel the ghost of his mother’s hand connecting with the back of his head from the look she fired his way. “And that I love me mum,” he added.

Stardust Cherrywood smiled back at her son and went on about the business of whatever witchery she was brewing on the stove.

Raven took the opportunity to add, “And Dred’s black book says it will get me laid. The thing talks. Can you believe that?”

“I’d believe just about anything when it comes to Dred.” Hawk shrugged.

“You didn’t answer the question.” Raven smirked. “And tell us about the Amazons.”

“Better than that, Raven. I got you a date with one.”

“You’re serious?”

“No,” Falcon snorted. “You couldn’t handle the Valkyries.”

“You said they canceled?”

Falcon smirked and it bloomed into a sly grin. Raven punched him and Falcon blocked, until Hawk got behind him.

“Total dick move, Hawk. Dick. Move.”

“Take your lumps,” Hawk fired back.

“Okay. I’ll take them, but I’ll keep the Amazons’ WitchBerry numbers.”

“Maybe I was a bit hasty,” Hawk conceded and released him.

Falcon slapped down two business cards and animated warrior women danced across them.

“Do we get the lust potion you dip your arrows in, too?” Raven asked excitedly.

“Hell no. That would be like slipping them roofies. What’s wrong with you? You’re lucky Mom didn’t hear you or she’d kick your ass. Or worse, make you eat whatever that is trying to crawl out of the Crock-Pot.” Falcon shook his head and then ducked, just as a wooden spoon sailed past his head.

“Sorry, Mom. I have to be honest. It’s an angel thing.” Falcon supposed it was beyond ironic that he was lying.
