Well, cobwebs were the first thing in my ‘what-you-find-in-your-potential-mate’s-basement’ list. A lot of them.

Now I wasn't one of those people who got all whimpery and panicky at the sight of bugs that could hardly cause any trouble for an almost immortal shifter, but…

“Is it me or do these spiders look a hell lot like tarantulas?”

Mikalya’s voice, when it came, seemed to be miles ahead of me in this dark, deserted basement whose only source of light was coming from the open trapdoor. Not to mention the stairs that seemed to lead straight to hell.

“They don’t look like tarantulas,” she said, the sound of water dripping from the ceiling prominent in the background. “They are tarantulas.”

Holy shit!

Not caring where the stairs ended, I jumped down the remaining stairs but found the jump relatively short and thankfully, did not lead me to the fiery pits of hell.

“I thought you were supposed to be an alpha?”

Right now, I didn’t care about her sarcastic tone.

“Yeah, and those are little bird-eating monsters whose bite hurts like hell!”

“Rumors,” she stated. “Their bites are usually neurotic, very rarely somatic, and people don’t die of their bites. It’s the infection that occurs later that becomes the real cause of death.”

A sudden flare of blinding light and then the entire basement was flooded with it, allowing me to have a good look of my surroundings.

Stone. Just like the houses, this basement was made of stores. Dark grey and shiny. Probably granite. Several heavy metal boxes lined the walls with a small stretch forming a tunnel and disappearing into the dark. At the center of the room was a huge table, partially covered with a dusty piece of cloth, and the open area had a detailed map of the Himalayas and its borders with the neighboring states.

Though when I looked at Mikalya, my heart literally leapt out of my chest, for she seemed to be engrossed in a conversation with those hairy-legged bitches! I’d heard that a lot of shifters around the world could communicate with other creatures, but this had to be the first and the creepiest one I’d ever experienced.

Five tarantulas in total, each the size of my hand: two sat on each of her shoulders, two on her arms that she had folded in front of her, and one seemed very comfortable lying on her chest. All dark and hairy and ugly brats!

And as if they heard me, two of them turned towards my direction, making me break out into a sweat. Then Mikalya made a sound at the back of her throat, and all of them jumped in sync, from her body to the wall and disappeared into the tunnel.

“I thought they couldn’t make cobwebs. That a rumor too?” I asked, following her to the center table.

“No. They just aren’t the only spiders around here. Usually, the others stay in hiding in fear of being eaten.” She removed the cover, releasing a cloud of dust that would have caused me to cough my lungs out if I hadn’t covered my nose first.
