Turek watched the ball wobble through the air a good foot over Shayne’s raised hands and into the trees lining the driveway. The kid cast Cyaan a disgusted look before running to retrieve the ball.

“You’re as bad as he is,” Shayne accused Cyaan while pointing a finger at Collen. “How can you know how to throw a knife and not know how to throw a ball?”

“Because me and sharp, pointy objects go well together. We’ve created a mutually satisfying relationship built on trust and respect. That round thing does nothing for me,” Cyaan shot back. “Now quit your bitching and throw the ball.”

“Are you sure? Maybe we should switch to a plastic tee-ball or something. I wouldn’t want you to strain yourself with a heavy football in your old age,” Shayne snickered.

“That’s it. Come here, brat.”

Cyaan took a few steps towards Shayne but stopped when Collen held up one hand. “Stand down, old one. I’ll take care of this.” Ignoring Cyaan’s indignant glare, Collen turned to the kid. “One more smart-ass comment out of you, pipsqueak, and it’s back to the books I got you.”

Turek chuckled as Shayne grumbled something nasty about homework. Leaning back on the steps of the front porch, he was struck again by how lucky they were to have such good friends willing to come to the aid of their mate. Loken and Cyaan were both warriors, almost identical in build and beauty, with fiercely loyal personalities to match. Both wore black leathers and an aura of calculated authority that clung to them like a second skin. The only noticeable difference in the men was their hair. One had white-blond locks pulled back in a long braid while the other wore his black tresses loosely to his shoulders.

Their mate, Jace, was a lot smaller and more laid-back in comparison—their submissive counterpart.

The sudden sounds of angry shouts jerked his attention away from the men in the yard.

“Is that…?” Collen started.

Turek spared a glance at Malen long enough to find his concern mirrored on his mate’s face. “Collen, get Shayne inside!” At a dead run, he took off around the cabin, prepared to fight whoever dared threaten the two men in the backyard. Surprise brought him up short, as well as Malen, Loken and Cyaan.

With approximately two feet of distance between them, Jace and Xilonen were engaged in what appeared to be a heated shouting match. Their fists were clenched at their sides and the occasional finger was pointed at the other in what he assumed was accusation. The words they flung at each other were couched in vagueness with no references as to what they were arguing about. So engrossed were they that neither took the time to notice Malen and Cyaan advancing on them.

“What’s going on?” Malen shouted over them.

“Nothing!” That from both Jace and Xilonen, who resumed their argument without skipping a beat.

Stepping in front of Malen and Cyaan, Turek reached out to his young mate. “Xilonen, calm down.” His lover jerked away from his touch.
