She gave a wave of her hand, Its just too much to remember.
Please tell me youre not going to breed.

Its just, Angelina began to whine and Sara knew what was coming, I dont want us to end up three old maids, living in a house with cats.
That wont happen. Miki stretched her whole body. She did love to forecast. Ill be kidnapped by Black Ops. Theyll be hoping to use my brilliance against this governments enemies. Sara and Angelina looked at each other.
Your brilliance?
Miki ignored her, like she always did during this conversation. Angelina will marry someone very wealthy but cold. Shell last about 10 years, then shell plot, plan, and execute his murder. Get away with it. And marry a younger man. Maybe even his son.
Hey. Angelina never liked that future prediction.
And Sara Miki looked at her friend, Well, she doesnt like cats.
I dont like cats? Thats the best you can do? How about And Sara will live happily ever after with Mr. Doesnt-get-on-her-nerves-too-much. Why cant I have that?
Youre too picky.
Its not my fault that scarred, damaged women arent high on the market. And Im not going to take any old thing thrown at me.
Youre too picky, Angelina confirmed. Because I remember a few interested individuals that werent too bad. Troy.
Too strict. Miki explained.
Fred.
Too neat.
Bobby Joe.
Too tall.
Mike.
Too short.
Okay. Okay. I get it. Sara didnt need to hear this. All those bad attempts at relationships had happened years ago. The well had been quite dry for some time.
Wait. Theres still my personal favorite. Kenny Ray.
Too nice.
Nice? He said I was boring. How is that nice?
Angelina gave a wicked smile, Too nice in bed.
Oh. Yeah. He was. Sara shuddered, Yuck. She remembered she actually threw him out of bed. Out of bed and across the room. Odd. Maybe she was drinking that night too.
I bet Zachs not nice. Angelinas smile just became more wicked, if that were possible. I bet hes not nice at all. In bed or out.
Hes on the List. Miki reminded them.
But he doesnt look like a biker, does he? You know, he actually looks like he bathes. Besides, Im not talking marriage. Im talking aboutgetting control of your aggression.
Sara looked at her friend of twenty years. Dear god, woman! Are you talking about him fucking the aggression out of me?
The three women began to laugh hysterically, Im not seeing the problem here, people. You get in. Do what you have to do and get out.
Thats it! Sara cut them off. Were not having this discussion anymore.
You should just think about it. Thats all Im saying.
No. Im a nice girl. Im not a whore. Her friends didnt say a word. Im not.
Angelina shrugged, You just keep believing that.
Sara tossed her empty beer can, just missing her friends head.
Angelina didnt even turn around. Instead she looked out into the darkness. Its such a beautiful night.
Sara grinned, Yup. Her grin widened, And its about that time.
Miki closed her eyes, I hate this.
Sara leaned back, Sssh. Listen.

A moment later, Zach heard the first howl. Full bloods. Hed smelled them as soon as he stepped onto her property. He had been waiting for hours for them to give him a hard time about being in their territory and for not being full wolf but a mystical hybrid of boththey were amazingly snobby about that sort of thing. But, to his surprise, they still hadnt bothered him or Conall. Maybe the full-bloods knew that they were there to protect Sara.
Because when they howled, their howls were for Sara and for Sara alone.
Miki cringed. Angelina looked unimpressed as she still rocked to the German techno coming from the house. But Sara had her eyes closed and was smiling. Then, she howled back.
Sara, Miki warned with a laugh. I swear to god, those things come over here, Im leaving your ass out here.
Saras smile didnt change. Pussy, she muttered. Then she howled again. The wolves answered. And all Zach wanted to do was go to her. To heed her call.
Angelina wrinkled up her pretty nose, Arent you worried that theyll come down here looking for whos howling back?
Sara shrugged, I find them on my porch all the time. At that, Miki jumped up and went into the house. They never give me any trouble, but I always remember theyre wild animals. And this is probably more their territory than mine.
Miki stood behind the living room window. She opened it probably so that she was still part of the conversation, but could easily close it if they decided to attack. She had no idea; however, that that window couldnt protect her from shit.
Please tell me youre not going to breed.
