Oh, thank god you found him. I went to your house and no one was there but I saw the dart on your
floor. Melinda never returned to the hotel so I got suspicious. Once I found James missing I guessed
she d bring him here. As he babbled his eyes took in his son s new form.
Talan and Adrian came out of the front seats of the van.
The lions all looked immediately to the left, tilting their necks in deference to the presence of an
alpha. All except James, who trotted up to Talan and butted his head into the alpha s thigh.
I think he wants a pet, Adrian said with a laugh.
You re kidding me! Talan stared at the white lion in astonishment. You are not a housecat. I m not
petting you.
James gave a low, mean growl.
Fine. I m scratching. Talan scratched the white lion behind the ears, under the chin and in the
middle of the forehead until the big cat started purring.
Have you no dignity? the alpha scolded, lightly.
James stood on his back feet and licked Talan s cheek.
Stop that. The lion shifter shoved James away with a laugh. Unperturbed, the white lion went over
to sit by Lou s feet.
Everyone in the van, we ll straighten everything out later.
I think Dennis sister escaped.
What do you mean escaped? Andrew asked. People can leave whenever they want.
Cameron laughed. Unless crazy Melinda sold you.
What? Andrew paled.
It sounds like you weren t aware of a lot of things, Lou said not unsympathetically.
Yeah. Andrew nodded. Apparently there s a lot I missed while I was concentrating on my
research.
Adrian patted the man on his back. Come on. We ll talk at the pack house.
Chapter Six
James crouched at the end of the bed, watching the large human with confusion. He kept making odd
gestures, waving his arms around, pointing fingers and making odd noises that made less and less
sense over time.
Maybe he should ve gone with the other cats. Unfortunately, he couldn t leave the big man-bear. He
smelt too good, like he belonged to James.
Giving a big lion sigh, he laid his giant head down on his paws and watched the other man pace.
Maybe it was time for another nap.
Ow.
He blinked up at the good-smelling man with the bad fur-pulling fingers.
Stay awake!
What was the point of being awake? The sun was much more enjoyable absorbing while he napped.
He wasn t going to mention that to the fur-puller though. He gave the man a disgruntled look that had
no discernible effect.
The big human-bear man glared back.
A knock at the door had him growling. He knew the smell of another lion in his territory.
Stop that now, fur-pulling man-bear said.
Bossy.
The door opened, revealing a lion and a wolf in human form. He growled at the lion-man, baring his
fangs, and went over to smell at the wolf-man. The lion-man growled at him, pushing the wolf behind
him.
James plopped his head back on his paws, swiping his tail back and forth. Maybe lion-man wanted to
play since he couldn t play with the wolf.
Lou gave a sad sigh.
Talan laughed. I think the pretty kitty wants to play.
Just get him to shift back! Lou shouted. He s gone too deep. He doesn t even know me anymore.
He s feral.
Calm down. Talan patted Lou s arm. The bear wanted to rip it off and beat him with it. He
would ve done it too if he didn t know the sweet-looking wolf would promptly tear out his throat
before he could blink.
Looking over Talan s shoulder the cold look in the wolf s eyes sent icy chills bone deep. He took a
careful step away from Talan who was idiotically protecting his mate from the playful white lion.
I m going to see if I can communicate with him as a lion.
Okay. Lou took a deep breath to calm down. He couldn t lose control right now. He needed to keep
it together for his mate.
He looked away as Talan undressed. It wasn t that he hadn t seen the other man strip to shift before,
but not with the lion s mate standing a few feet away.
You can look now. Adrian s amused voice told him the other man wasn t upset with him anymore.
He gave the wolf shifter an apologetic smile.
Adrian shrugged. Sometimes our beast gets the better of us.
He turned to see the golden lion approach the white lion. James stood up to confront the other cat but
