The flare of a blinding light caused me to shield my eyes even though I sought out the culprit in our midst. When my vision stabilized, it was night. That part was expected and to an extent, the wolfman who feared my wraith by running into the nearby wood line was expected as well.

What did shock me was the dozen all-black SUVS swarming our vacation rental. Men, big men that reminded me of bearkin, rushed out of vehicles drawing weapons.

I tossed the medallion to Judith and said, “Run.”

She bolted into the woods, zooming behind the trees and onto the trail before the enforcers could even react.

To say chaos ensued would be an understatement. Men dressed in tactical gear didn’t shoot, only posturing to close the distance. The front door of our rental opened and out strode a fit woman dragging Gravlin.

I had to piece a lot together in a short timeframe. The most obvious was, we brought everything with us if we held it directly. Touching the bed didn’t work. Carrying all the excess items forced our return to deviate, spawning us in a clearing outside the home instead of in a living room.

As we were surrounded, the newest members of our team watched on with confusion. Judith was long gone by this point, escaping the bulky guards, and that made me the happiest. The fact the Medallion Council had power on Earth miffed me and seeing them not get what they wanted made me happy.

Gravlin looked like shit, and when a bearkin disguised as a man dragged out two people with bags over their heads, I knew things were about to get ugly.

“Calvin Spencer. How interesting to see you with a seroci. Not in a million years would I have expected this,” the woman said.

“You found Gravlin, and here I thought he had skills,” I replied with hands up.

“Asshole,” the wolfkin grumbled.

“You need to hide your appearance, otherwise humanity’s governments will get very angry,” she said. “I mean it, take these shifters and make them humans.”

“About that. You never gave me instructions,” I told Gravlin. “And lady, I can’t.”

“I’m Ming and…” she paused. “I don’t feel the medallion.”

“Your lumbering idiots let it escape,” I told her, and her neck muscles bulged with anger.

She eyed me with scorn, exhaling a few controlled breaths. “You’re smaller than I expected.”

“I tend to hear that a lot. If I flex real hard, I do get bigger,” I said with a smirk.

Ming leveled the pistol to Gravlin’s head and said, “Bring the medallion back.”

“You lack the dominance to order the alpha around,” Larisa said, folding her arms.

Ming glanced around at our party, then settled onto me. “What an interesting statement. She called you an alpha. Do share, how did you convince these shifters to follow you?”

I smirked and replied, “You are at a disadvantage. I will give you an opportunity to leave. Hell, even take Gravlin. He’s on the house.”

She belted out a laugh, her minions joining her reply. This irked me but I mostly stayed calm.
