shave his head.”
“That might attract even more girls.” I smirked. “Anyway, he wouldn’t do it.”
“He’d do it if I asked him to .” I shrugged, agreeing that he was probably right. "We’ll enroll you as brother and sister, fraternal twins. You two can come up with a background story and a fake name, then Sinc can create fake ID’s.”
I sighed. “He’ll tease me unmercifully and say he did it so it would seem like we’re really brother and sister.”
Garrett grinned. “Sounds like good strategy.” I glared at him. "Rob and I are staying out of this as much as possible.”
“Our first solo mission, huh? C ool.” I thought about my dream. “The fae are powerful, so stay close.”
He looked at me with an arched eyebrow and said teasingly, “Who are you and what have you done with my mate?”
“Very funny. Let’s just say that I’ve learned a lot in the last three days. I just hope I can get the other three to listen to me.”
“I feel like I’ve crossed over into the Twilight Zone.” Garrett started humming the Twilight Zone theme so I pushed him hard in the shoulder with my bare foot, which didn’t seem to faze him. Instead he grabbed my foot and started to massage it while his eyes darkened with anticipation. “We have a meeting with Rob and the team tonight. Later we can play rough.” I crossed my arms with a snort. We’ll see ...
Chapter Six
Arriving home at 11 PM, I headed straight to the shower while Garrett fed Samson and made some calls. Twenty minutes later I was throwing on capris and a t-shirt and running a comb through my damp hair. It felt so good to be home again.
While Garrett showered , I made pasta, using the homemade sauce Liam had left in the freezer, all the while waiting for the gang to show. When I heard Sinc’s convertible pull up, I ran out the door and jumped on Ethan’s back as he got out of the passenger side of the car. He caught me and laughed, spinning me around and easing me back to the ground. Then I ran to Sinc and hugged her enthusiastically giving her a kiss on the cheek. Kyle returned his hug with a chuckle.
“Hey crazy cheetah, what happened? Did the bad fairies scare you or something?” Kyle looked great whether in human form or prowling the forest as his spotted leopard. Fit and slim, his bleached blonde spiky hair and his exotic Asian features meshed with his usual black jeans and gruesome graphic tee. The eyebrow s tud and leopard tattoos polished off his edgy look.
“You have no idea.” I laughed. “I missed you all so much.” I held the door and they streamed into the foyer, heading toward the living room with the large leather couch, the two comfy arm chairs and the large fireplace with the hand-carved mantle. Before they sat I motioned to them saying, “Come into the kitchen, I made pasta.”
Sinc, dressed perfectly in a slinky summer dress put her arm around me as we walked. She whispered, “I missed you too." Sinc was sophisticated and stunning with long thick dark brown hair and striking blue eyes, which stayed the same color when she changed into her snow leopard form. She was a little shorter than me but was curvy in all the right places. Full of sparkling energy, she definitely turned heads when we were out together.
Ethan, dressed casually, still managed to look like he’d come off a movie set. With large golden brown eyes, rich chocolate hair that always hung around his face in a wavy state of disarray and a muscular body, Ethan was hot. Women flocked to him like a thirsty herd to a cool watering hole. Unfortunately for them, Sinc was his only love.
When the team was all seated and I’d dished out the linguini, salad and garlic bread, we started to chat about what had been going on around Crescent City while I’d been gone. Apparently, Drew was a well known member of the Brownlow pack and his death was a shock to the community. No one had met Brina, in fact he’d only mentioned her to his closest friend,
