Angie should have seen it coming. Should have been ready for it. But, for some unknown reason, she wasnt.
Youre awfully tiny to be a lion, Miki crossed her arms in front of her chest and smiled. Sure your mother wasnt doing a mountain lion?
Angie closed her eyes and growled.

Nik walked down the stairs, his hands running through his wet hair. He paused at the bottom step, a smile breaking across his face.
He walked into the enormous living room and found his brothers stretched out on two of the five couches, watching TV and playing with what had to be the ugliest dog hed ever seen in his life.
What are yall doin here?
We thought about leavin, Ban began.
Especially after that tiny little midget girl tried to shoot us last night.
But were havin so much fun here
And that big blond guy said we could stay awhile, Alek finished.
Nik raised an eyebrow at his baby brother, Youre hopin that dogs sister shows up.
Its good for a man to have dreams.
Pathetic. Nik yawned then nodded toward the kitchen in the back of the house. Did ya leave any food?
Not really.
And did those wolves get cranky about it?
You could say that, Ban made room on the couch for the dog to jump up next to him. A few of em went out to get more.
But they were not happy about it.
Nik climbed over the back of the couch and sat down next to Alek, plopping his feet up on the coffee table.
So did you two love kittens make up?
Nik stretched feeling damn good about himself, Somethin like that.
And let me guess, Alek continued, Shes really off limits now.
More than ever.
Hed made Angelina Santiago his. Every time he fucked her last nightand hed fucked her all night longhed made her his.
But he wasnt in the mood to discuss that with his two idiot brothers. Not yet.
He held his hand out, Remote.
Alek dropped it in his palm.
All I gotta say is them Yankees need to hurry the hell up. Im starvinand even that dog is lookin mighty tasty.
Ban, the protector of all things, hugged the dog to him. Thats not funny.
Yes it is.

Youre shopping, Miki demanded.
What do you expect me to do? Just stand here? Besides, these Manolo Blahniks are adorable.
Oh, for the love of all thats holy.
You want a pair?
No!
No need to get tense. Youre getting so moody. Must be the Pack baby.
Stop calling her that!
Miki sat down on one of the benches.
One of the lions walked up to Angie. What do you think?
Angie looked at the shoe in her hand. Bad color for you, hon. Try blue.
Thanks.
Miki snorted in disgust. You have got to be fuckin kidding me.
Angie finished fixing the straps on the shoes she decided to try on. Standing up, she moved to the mirror. The salesman stood next to her. Wow. Those look amazing on you.
She looked at herself in the mirror. You knowyoure right. These do look amazing on me.
Seconds after Miki made a grunt of annoyance, a sound rang out over the entire floor of shoes and accessories that stopped every wolf and lion in their tracks.
Saras laugh.
They all turned to look at the two women huddled over in the far corner of the shoe department. Victoria had removed her denim jacket. Her sleeveless Bob Marley T-shirt showed off a Jimi Hendrix tattoo on one shoulder. Her jacket slipped to the floor. When Victoria bent to retrieve it, Angie spotted a Robert Plant tattoo on the other shoulder.
Interesting, Miki muttered. I bet if you looked at her high school notebooks theyre covered in that stupid Van Halen logo, too.
Angie chuckled as one of the salesgirls returned with a dress for her. How about this?
Taking the dress by the hanger, she looked at it carefully. Dark red and backless, she debated whether to get it for Saras partyand she knew Nik would love her in it.
Christ, how pathetic am I?
What do ya think, Mik?
Well, I think that lion females are really lesbians and the males are used strictly for their sperm.
Angies head snapped up, Miki!
She gave that damn innocent smile, What? Its just a theory.
The She-wolves looked down at the floor to hide their laughter while the lions glared. Well, most of them glared. One just grinned. Angie didnt have time to analyze that, instead grabbing Miki by the scruff of the neck and dragging her past the staring wolves and lions toward the dressing room.
I swear, Kendrick. I cant take you anywhere.
Dont blame me cause these bitches have no sense of humor. And you know Im right.
Angie found the dressing room. Since it was still relatively early, there were very few customers and she had a feeling shed have the place all to herself. Good. She hated fighting with a bunch of bitches over some space.
