Shelly Laurenston - Wild Attraction (Bianca 917)

CHAPTER I

It was diff e cil think of death during a wedding, but he was getting.
All because of that damned league ction.
with a single phone call, his mind was filled with images of death. Of his
death. But didn`t was not every day that someone is m received a tio connects
stating that there was a recom think two million ns d O homes for your head to .
All that money for your head orra o le.
He should be wallowing in depression o. Or having one of those p
single attacks in which didn`t could see straight, or breathe. Should be doing what
any normal human being ... that is, the normal is at a point, because he could pass
from human to feline in about thirty seconds ... would do if he found out that
someone is wanted both m v is it does dead.
But he didn`t could be depressed or enter p single. Not now. N o jailed
on felony charge with what will it.
Okay, didn`t exactly was in paragraph vel of your face, but if ca e iff on
his knees ... his face was right there. That yes, it was worth something in which to
wallow.
- Youre will're looking at my ass again, didn`t you est?

Usually, when he was surprised by a woman, Mitchell Patrick Ryan O'Neill

Shaw eats aria lying to see is INSTANCE. Women knew enough to know when
a man to lie, it didn`t wanted to risk important parts of their anatomy. But from
time to time, if the subject was lucky, it appeared someone is m that didn`t care
about the din mica flirting. And that someone is m was Sissy Mae Smith.
They didn`t had come ado well: she had stolen the jacket Mitch. He lent
a friend of hers, and Sissy had done what wolves do: took her to him. But Mitch
was a feline, king of the jungle, etcetera and so on, and picks up back. What had
brought Sissy to jump on him, screaming.
To be frank, he didn`t him to really understand that is po ca, but Sissy had
a way of making people feel like they known a long time.
She had come a day in the Writers O river of security firm to where they
both worked for the sister her, a job that kept him busy and . out of trouble at is
that he could return to Filad is lfia to testify, and sat on Mitch's lap as if there was
his place and said something like, "I know my beauty is mesmerizing, but youre
think the men realize I've also is m Intelig is INSTANCE? " However, it was
found when Sissy as she wandered at night through the hotel's corridors of his
brother o, Mitch realized how much I liked it. Sissy never asked why he was t
o the assustadi, wincing every time I heard a snap. Instead, dragged him to a
diner that was open at is later to what he called "morning hour".
And it was in one of those eateries that Mitch had realized that Sissy had
become one of his best friends.
- Yes, I'm looking at your ass - She replied, with the same sincerity with
which she had asked -. But didn`t can avoid. He is talking to me!

And didn`t was joking. It was all the fault of the way like that ca e
bridesmaid dress to her. It was one thousand meters too tight in the hips, and he
didn`t could look away.
Like most wolves of the pack Smith, Sissy was a woman o. Strong,
powerful. Could bring down more r suspects will pido than a defender knocked u
m striker. He had seen her take a punch and then kick the aggressor at is does is it
does lose consciousness. Also is mj you had seen whimpering because of stub.
Sissy would never be a supermodel, but that's what he liked. If you take her to
bed, I never have to worry about to hurt you -la.
Also is m was beautiful. It looked a lot like the brother the oldest, but his
fei gs were softer, your scars battle a little more discreet. She wore her dark hair
in a misaligned cutting provocative, covering at the same time highlighted the
hazel eyes and ma tio n s well-defined face. The court seemed casual and f will cil
maintenance ction, but Mitch grew up in a house with women, and his m and a
former nurse, now Possu to a network salt ns beauty. He knew an expensive
court when he saw one. But the designer shoes in p is s it were your first and
single pair. The same could be said of the dress. Sissy enjoyed being comfortable
ble, en feared a little work to get it.
Yes, he liked the fact that it is a contradiction ction ambu lante. A redneck
who had traveled from inside the world and know more cultures than some PhDs.
A woman who barely finished high school, but he could earn and maintain the
respect of people with v rivers will diplomas.

A troublemaker who lived to

torment whom ca e iff in your network but would die to protect your fam read and
your friends.
Sissy was all he expected, and anything he imagined.

Therefore, it seemed inevit ble would end the bed at least once. But one
day, Sissy looked at him suddenly and released the following:
- You know, I too like you is to one day make love.
Sissy went straight to the point without the embroma ction.
And somehow, that pronouncement tactless some made sense to p ra Mitch,
and he agreed. Since then o, they had become best friends.
Of course, that before she wear that damn dress. Now he was all excited,
and Sissy s O could blame herself for that.
- Youre said my ass will're talking to you is?
- It is.
I had done this throughout CERIM nia, and now enquan to were required
to shoot under the sun of midday of Long Island in New York. A simple thing like
pose for pictures became a good time to face Mitch slightly more that butt.
The whole party was out of control, really. A house ment t the grand, for
two people who didn`t were neither to it. There were fifteen people from the
groom's side at the altar, and another fifteen from the bride's side in an interesting
mix of men and women ... and is esp species. Fel Videos Videos and can, in the
Communion with each other. Perhaps didn`t with joy, but with politeness. Sissy
stood by the brother o, and Mitch ended up next to the bride.
When the bride had invited him, he was surprised. Why would she want is
it does in marriage? And out exactly what per guntara. She smiled, with those
big brown eyes, fangs, making him feel protective, and declared:
- Because you is our king of karaoke is, and we love you!
The bride was a strange girl. But ador ble, as the O s c es can be.

Plus, how many shifters weddings attend? Contrary to the will of the
human river, its esp is cie kept her with commitments, ent on had reason to
air wasted money on a big party, not to worry about bureaucratic

co. Get

shapeshifters - men or women - assume the commitment is that was part diff e cil,
but that done, they were at is the end.
Obviously, Bobby Ray Smith, alpha male of the pack Smith of New York,
didn`t was marrying any. She was Jessica A n n Ward, Alpha Kuznetsov bunch of
wild c es, and geek goddess. And a wedding like that didn`t happen every day ...
or every thousand is nio, there will s. Ent o, part of it was an honor. Add the fact
that Jessica was gang t the rich as Bill Gates, and what we got was a party of n
vel one of Kennedy event.
In fact, everything was happening in a real castle! And Mitch would not
have to pay anything. The tuxedo, shoes, trying to cut her hair - j you back to the
previous mane in less than twenty-four Hours - out all gr tis you. Rooms in hot is
is luxurious, pr O ximos there is also m has been booked. He knew the food would
be stupendous, and there is a room called at Chocolate Room. That was the theme
of the party, chocolate, but there would be no desserts of all kinds. M is also
betting there was room, the games room and the room is Sing At Burst for f 's
karaoke is.
He liked the lifestyle of those c wild es. The damned knew how to have
fun.
While the bride and groom took pictures with their parents, Sissy turned to
Mitch.
- Speaking?
- Again. He's talking to me will again.

- Again. Got it.

P is sen t ado, Sissy leaned on his shoulder. With high heels, which she
claimed had days almost che gava to Mitch tall.
- E what my back says, do I know?
- N o know. He speaks in l unknown LANGUAGES.
The Sissy's laughter went through the space open around them, but it
disappeared quickly when a voice shot beside her:
- Sissy Mae, try didn`t embarrass his brother today. Achieving at least
once.
And there will was that tic. Almost stealthily vel , in the corner of the left
eye. Most people didn`t noticed, but Mitch lived with her was long, and learned
that an express the face that was, at sometimes, the nico notice before u m a
trouble eats air. But it tic was new, and seemed to come when O s am and it
was around.
- You think you can be useful and help Jessica Ann to trade dress, now
that the photos ended up?
- Why? The bra hers ca ram?
What was scary in m and Sissy was that she didn`t is va hist is rich like
most m es. Instead, he smiled, feigned, and moved closer, is staying at the cent
meters daughter to continue quietly,
- Go up those stairs and help her sister before I fa to wish the had left in
the kennel.
Sissy sighed.

- If there was a remote possibility didn`t be his daughter, there would be a

reason to live.
- Well, God knows I didn`t want to give you that spark of hope to .
- I take Sissy - Mitch offered, grabbing am her and dragging her in dire
ction of the door where the other women had passed.
Most of the time, Mitch loved watching the fights fam read the dist
INSTANCE. But he knew when two deadly predators they faced, and if someone
is m asked him which of the two he would bet ... he didn`t know what to say.
Sissy was young, and r will rupted when wanted. It Work Lhara with her
long enough to know the damage they could cause. Especially when I was angry.
But there was something in the eyes of m and her. Something hard and
peri ous, Sissy didn`t had. At least h at the still. And as Mitch had been invited
to the bachelorette, she felt certain forces ction to ensure that the Jessica per day
continue done. N o wanted her to have to worry about blood on the walls.
- Explain to me again why the matric hatred is illegal in some states Sissy growled, will atr s him, as he followed the grand staircase.
- In all states. Al is addition, I think that there will be some restriction tio s
moral about it, is also m.
- N o It is fair O obvious that these legislators didn`t conhe

ceram my

hand and .
- I didn`t tell. And it's t strange to me - He said, when they reached the
last step -. My m and loves me and would do anything for me, then I never
felt like mat will -la.
Her eyes narrowed.

- Throw it in my face again, and his sweet m ezinha will take care of your
body is broken at that youre able to walk again.
- Coisinha simp will tica ...
They approached the rooms reserved for the bride and bridesmaids. Mitch
heard the giggles and felt at home. Was created by women. The band of your m
and hopefully care of him throughout his inf INSTANCE. They had taught him
many things, and what didn`t could teach, there was always one or two men in the
house to help.
Ent o, the day after his birthday a rio of eighteen, one of his aunts came
into the kitchen, where he ate leaning against the table, and looking at him, asked
why he was still there. Mitch was when he realized he had to change. Would
always be welcome to the home of m and but never belong to bunch it.
And Mitch never liked bands.

out the only son man in a house

desbocadas girls who spoke what they thought about men s O thought about food
and sex. And didn`t was what he wanted. Being a n had made their benef ness,
and Mitch liked the fact that its nicos enemies are those he months

mo had

done. Join a group was a very similar mentality with the gang. He didn`t know
how the s c es did, but seemed to love. J will the wolves seemed to take it as
their burden in life.
Mitch stopped s scope when Sissy refused to proceed.
- Youre didn`t can air for me - she said, hearing the giggles and laughter
become more hist is rich.
He stared at her.
- N o est will still hurt because of that blow in the head a, didn`t it?

- N o! And stop remember that. - Sissy and the bride had a past full of
historical O holiday, and Mitch loved tortur will -la with it.
She walked over and whispered:
- They s the all t ... t the o ...
- Women?
- More like c cheerful ezinhos.
Mitch laughed and continued to drag you -la to the door.
- Youre ss the same fam read now. This means that youre need help!
They stopped in front of the open door and looked in, fascinated by the su
can you full of screaming Videos "Jess! Jess! Jess! "As the bride in the form of c
Y our wild, ran atr will s pr O prio tail.
Mitch looked at Sissy, and she did not bother to disguise their embara
the air.
- And then? Among logo! She released her m o.
- There has to be a bar around here somewhere. Sissy came out, and Mitch
turned to Jess. She had stopped turn, and now trope ava the room, dizzy.
When she sat down, her legs giving way under him, the other discerned
Mitch.
- Mitch - shouted, and he entered, smiling.
Sissy was at is her best friend and lan the bra or around the neck the
Ronnie Lee Reed.
- J will explored the area will?

- J will. Two full bars in front of the salt thereof to the balls, two at the
back of s will, and more tr s scattered near the sports book and the karaoke is.
- Karaok is - Sissy shuddered. - What horror!
- Yeah ... But you want p and blackjack at room games.
- Gra O God for the little things - She looked around -. He saw the old lady?
- N o see any of the two old ladies h at some time. But youre know how
they like to stalk their prey, waiting at is being vulner ble before attacking.
- I'm in hell, Ronnie Lee This is hell..
It had been three weeks lish am and it was in the city, the tr lish weeks
longer Sissy's life. She didn`t know what was the problem of m and , but the
woman was picking on your p's since his arrival, and his patience is NCIA was at
an end.
- At least your m and speak v is wrong with you is. My s O sighs and
balan aa to fit.
- I do not know. After three weeks of lish cons conversation tant to Mrs.
Janie Mae, disappointed sighs would be a dream! And when's dinner? I'm hungry!
- At least another half hour. You might want to go back and convince the
bride to exchange more r will pido.
- N on the back, no way. Youre will're asking too much. Al is addition,
Mitch will est l will. He will rush will -la.

- I knew you would be is hidden here.

Sissy smiled at his father. N o was surprised to have been discovered in the
kitchen of funds, hiding in the room that the staff used to rest. He knew better
daughter than no one is m, had always been pr O ximos.
- Youre It is one of the few that didn`t irritate me, sweetie - He said, when
she still was five. Bubba Ray Smith was a man old-fashioned, and Sissy loved him
very much.
- N o'm hiding. I'm taking a break, very necessary will laugh -. She got up
and open or dad. - Ol will, Dad!
- Ol will, sweetie - He always called her that when they were alone. - As
youre est you?
- I'm trying, Dad. For real. But it makes me tired.
- Youre need to stop being angry so much with it. - He pulled out a chair for
Sissy, and sat facing her.
- She does it because he wants you is to be the best.
- The best in qu is? Matric dio?
- N o gra has to, Sissy.
She thought she had, s O a little bit, but he had.
- Youre j will It is an adult, sweetie. N o more can let her to fret. Has its pr

to return if wanted.
Sissy detected the hope on the father's voice. He broke your heart ction,
but at the same time it made her feel very loved.
- You know I didn`t can come back, Dad. N o to live. - She smiled -. But at
least I'm in the United States now.

- It is true. And here, I know my girl you're safe. I was worried ... I thought
you were getting is l will in Asia, and I didn`t know what I'd do without my gar

"What will h out of Am is full of interesting t ?" Grumbles va him. The

- Fa a favor to his father, sweetie?
- Anything, Daddy.
- N o fight with his m and today.
- But ...
- Promise, Sissy Mae.
Ihh he had called her by the compound name! The thing was s is laughing
...
To the surprise of Sissy, and especially his brother o, that marriage meant
a lot to Bubba, and she didn`t spoil everything. I would simply avoid the old lady.
Hell, I was fazen of this since the fifth is rie s, which was one more night?
- I promise, Dad.
He approached and u him a kiss on the forehead.
- This is my little girl!
- Sissy Mae!
Sissy turned his back to the bar and found his comb aunts ritas. S sister

Screaming, game u If the bra the aunts, the open plow back.

- Look s O is for you, dear! Are you pretty as a pintu ra - said Francine
aunt, older sister d a s s Lewis.
- Thank you! I have to admit, I was afraid of what they would suggest for s
bridesmaids. Especially after seeing the vest i Jessie Ann's wedding.
N o n it were beautiful, s o that would be more suitable for a wedding held
in 1066.
Jessie Ann always had a taste weird. Sissy walked away aunts.
- But I liked that color youre - Francine praised -. Although brown, in a
marriage ...
- N o is brown - said Sissy, for he had heard the same ction explains the
thousands of times in the past six months . - It's chocolate. Bitter. Seventy-two
percent ...
- Stop - Francine lifted am o -. N o g then hear that.
Sissy laughed.
- S O Bobby Ray, to fix someone is m as Jessie Ann.
- She will already forgiven youre - Roberta asked, the younger second.
- She says yes, but I didn`t believe is s O I come into a place, which she
gives you a way out..
- The fault is all yours, Sissy Mae. - Francine never let her forget anything -.
Youre too tortured the poor.
- "Torture" is too strong a word. Adequate, but strong.
Sissy smiled for Darla affectionate aunt, the younger sister of s.
- And how will Uncle est Eggie? Wish he had been ...

- Oh, dear, youre know how he is. N o d will be with ns crowd -. And Daria
didn`t was very different.
- Probably, are you in some trash in Smithtown.
- It is better that didn`t is - Darl the growled playfully. - I warned you
didn`t want you Found it does so again.
- And Dee-Ann - Sissy asked, wanting to know your favorite material, the
nica daughter Daria and Eggie.
Daria opened his mouth to speak, but then shrugged.
- Actually, honey, it is also mn o know.
- N o worry, aunt Daria. I'm sure she's good will.
At least, she hoped.

I loved the material, but Dee worked for the

government, and his work kept her away from parents for too long.
- So o ... - come or Janette aunt, her eyes shining.
- When it is that you're going back home, Sissy Mae?
- Oh, how cute ... Are you homesick?
- Of course ... and certain lionesses est the need of a reality check.
T peak.
- N o. No way.
- Now, Sissy, we will l ...
- N o, Janette aunt. - Sissy balan or fit for the enfati zar negative -. J

- Ungrateful!

- N o am, didn`t, and stop using guilt against me.

- Well - Francine interrupted - when will we see our Sissy Mae married?
- Uh ...
But before she was taken by p single, Mitch grabbed her suddenly by tr s
will.
- Excuse the ladies. Sissy need to use as a human shield.
Sissy sighed when he saw the brother the growling.
- What did he do now?
- The little boy must learn to control this m o silly.
- Actually, my m on the was involved.
Bobby Ray stretched bra , trying to grab Mitch at the neck .
- Now, let's stop it! V will, Bobby Ray. In Jan. tar logo will be served, and
youre need to separate his bride other puppies.
- Stop will call them so! If And remember what I told you, boy.
After he walked away, Sissy slapped m Mitch's.
- Put me on the floor o, Mitchell Patrick Ryan O'Neill Shaw!
He did as she commanded.
- I thought the rules were clear!
Sissy stared at him, barely disguised walk a face. N o because of what
Mitch had. That would be a quest the gift will it. N o, was the apar is NCIA it.
There were dark circles under his eyes, and he was losing weight. It was less than
his half-sister o, Brendon, and she had the impression that the n normal was.
Mitch was one of the biggest cats, large and can roso. But noticed he didn`t was

eating a lot, and it s O was getting worse. She was trying to make is it does eat
more, but it was in vain o. Something was going on, and she would have to find
out what it was.
- Look, Mitchell, if I didn`t can create any trouble, youre also it is mn the
can.
- I was helping the bride - He looked at her aunts Sissy -. S O was checking
to make sure the bodice was snug.
Francine asked:
- And I think youre had to stick this pretty face close to check, didn`t?
- If my friends need me fa of this, then Y our excuse me, but I will do!
- Youre didn`t you're happy as his life didn`t you're at risk, didn`t it?
Mitch smiled.
- N o ci stay with me. You know I can give her bodice whenever you
want.
- Oh, stop it - Sissy held the bra his and pushed him in dire ction aunts -.
Mitchell, these s s the the sister of my mother and . Francine, Janette, Roberta
and Dar l. Dear, this is Mitchell Shaw, the brother o ca ula Brendon Shaw.
Busy shaking m the each of the aunts, Mitchell still managed to look at
her over his shoulder.
- That's the best way I found to describe me? As the brothers ca o ula He sighed, dram will tico, with sad golden eyes on the ladies -. She is afraid to tell
the ador ble ladies the truth. What she meant was: this is Mitchell Shaw, the man I
love and adore with all my heart ction.
- It is terr ble , didn`t?

Mitch suddenly flinched.

- I must go. The Reed boys are coming.
- What youre done with them this time?
- It would take too long to explain, but involves a phone call to a
matchmaker of Long Island, which now believes that s Reed est o looking for
love. Damn!
Mitch ran out, and the brother Ronnie Lee were atr s will.
Sissy balan or fit a.
- N o know what to do with this guy, the sometimes -. She He grimaced
when he noticed that the aunts looked at her, smiling. - What?
Sissy knew this would be a great party, but didn`t imagined how they would
be the guests. On the one hand, there were some of the best known names in the
boring world of software and ction computes. Sissy s O knew why Brendon
mentioned them, and seemed quite impressed. Being a le o, n it was f will cil
impression will it. Surrounding that group, there were more bands, packs and cats
n mades than Sissy j will seen before together. Some of them she recognized her
tra balho in New York. Others she had never seen, but already you heard. They
had come from every state, is at the west coast.
And there was the c es wild flocks. Asi will ticos, Australians, and more c
African wild es. And none of them could be silent.
The rest were Smith, relatives or aggregates.

They had come from

everywhere, including South and North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,

Virginia and Texas nia. The ni ca region the underrepresented there was his
hometown, Smithtown.

Sissy knew from the princ pious, Sammy didn`t could come. I had ten
children and a restaurant to take care with his wife. Almost didn`t they had off.
But Sammy had contacted Sissy and Bobby Ray to warn and ask descul

pas.

Because that was the correct procedure.

However, it didn`t explained the aus is Travis INSTANCE, Donnie and
Jack. As Your Own O selves sister could treat the Smitty like that, she didn`t
understand. N o it did, however didn`t like to be a person. Fam fam read was
read, and it is up to Sissy, didn`t was nothing she didn`t do for her. N o matter
how hated them.
I would deal with that another day. But I sure gave sharia clear to Travis
how he felt about it. Not bother with Jack and Donnie. They s O did what Travis
sent even ...
Mitch leaned back in his chair and stretched one leg, the bra resting on
the back of the chair Sissy. He was gorgeous tuxedo. Although she preferred men
jeans and T-shirt instead of suit, smoking and stuff. In view

ity, prefer them

naked, but society didn`t saw it with good eyes.

The golden eyes Mitch searched the room, and Sissy knew he was thinking
the same thing she did.
- So many trouble to eat air - Murmured in his ear. - And t little time
...
He smiled.
- It too will f cyl. Like sheep to the slaughterhouse.
Sissy leaned closer, enjoying the smell of cat.
- Are you almost done, right?

- Not far bochechinha.

He had reason o, of course. But Sissy still believed that the worst will
already passed.
At is that am sic eats or ...
Sissy grabbed am Y our sister him and the dragged to the kitchen, smiling
and waving to everyone who called.
- Where did you know this is everybody?
- Youre It is that didn`t know no one is m, Bobby Ray.
All those people was that when she helped more needed. They were the
people she always took care to be well treated when you lent some serve the , or
helped out of work.
Sissy took Bobby Ray into the room where he had been before with his
father and closed the door.
- I wanted to give you something. The Y our sister crossed her bra them.
- Another lecture on the dangers of puppies h e hybrids?
- Why would I give me the job? I think I'll have to learn it yourself. - She
took the package he had left on the table and handed it to him. - This is for you is.
Bobby Ray stared at the package in its m o.
- Why?
- At your wedding, now!
- But youre said marriage was stupidity, and that this was even more ...
- N o changed my id is going. But j will youre was at is the end, I wanted to
give her a present. Open!

She was on the edge of p is s to observ it does will tear the paper. Bobby
opened the box and blinked in surprise.
- Where have you found is this - asked finally.
- Looking cigarettes in the s and u room. Youre had left for the Navy was a
month or two.
- I'm surprised didn`t have thrown away.
- I never hated her, Bobby Ray N o was kind to her, but I never hated her..
And on that basis, I know what youre loved her. Even at that time. I never
mentioned, because I thought he'd lost. But I found the last time I was at home
in the middle of my cole ction of Playgir l.
Bobby Ray raised the bracelet with little sign of identifi ca tio the velvetlined box. In front, it was carved its name, but it was a tio the inscription on the tr s
will that revealed the Sissy teenager what she already suspected will and made her
feel bad for the first time in my life: My Jessie Ann.
- I thought youre could give it to her now that j will chickened out when I
was eighteen.
- I didn`t chickened out! S O didn`t I thought the time was right.
- Maricas.
Sissy open or sister is with a.
- Try to be happy, Bobby Ray.
- I'm trying ...
She laughed.

Mitch p so the bra on the half-sister's shoulders older and smiled to see
-la is tense, the m the closing into fists.
Marissa Shaw was g is mea Brendon. Luckily, didn`t was the only sister
of Mitch, there was still Gwenie. Five years younger than him, the sweet, innocent
Gwen would never m will with Mitch because the loved.
Marissa, however, seemed convinced that Mitch didn`t nothing but a bastard
who wanted to steal the vast fortune of them. And he was the good guy t with her
...
- These shoes were a nice choice. Bought at the official store of the straw ,
or had to seek an mimics ction?
Marissa winced.
- N o est o youre looking for somewhere? I'm sure Sissy didn`t care if
youre face was that huge ass some more.
- N o ci stay with me, baby. I know you must have someone who is m
want to face the his huge back.
Marissa walked away.
- Feel free to get away from me today.
- But I try to do it every day!
- N o is the effort enough! Mitch watched her leaving.
- I love you, Marissa.
- Oh, shut up!
Laughing, Mitch grabbed his cell phone vibrating in his pocket. His laughter
died when recognized on number.

- Are you sure?

- Of course I have - Jen Chow shot. - Do you think I would call it didn`t
have?
- N o know why youre est o t will tense. It's my head that you're a pr is
mio.
- I really wanted youre take it is the river, detective.
- I 'm taking is the river. But trust me; n oh to the possibility of freeloaders
in this marriage. I'm probably safer here than anywhere else.
- It can be. Still, I want you back here on Monday. I will send ...
- I will be there.
- Detective ...
- I said I'll be the .
- O thymus - she replied.
Jen Chow, Assistant District Attorney, had the wick more cur to him j will
turn. He was surprised she still called detective, even after so much time working
together.
- Talk to youre after, Jen.
- Second, detective. Talk to vo c is the second.
- Yes.
Mitch hung up and stretched his neck the . It was full moon, illuminating
everything around. Of course, didn`t needed it to see. N o with his vis o.
Now I knew what es le of Africa felt to be tracked by ca adores.

Two million ns attract the best shooters. Surrounded by his esp is cie, she
felt secure, but once entered the system, had s holiday is d lives. However,
getting loose is also mn o was an op tio. N o wanted to be respons ble for making
someone is m his fam read, or some friend, were injured or killed. All were
important to him.
N o. Leaving the next day. But that night ...
Mitch kept the phone cal pocket in to and turned, ready to return to the
party. S O didn`t expect to find Sissy leaning in m bank will MARBLE atr will s it.
She was beautiful, with her legs crossed at the ankles and the body supported by
the bra , the m the supported on the bench.
The dress she wore was made of fabric softer and lighter than he'd ever seen
you. The color was dark brown in contrast to perfection ction with hazel eyes. He
could tell had never seen her more sexy, but that would be a lie. J had he seen that
short woman, and nothing was sexier than that.
- Ol will.
Sissy him, he grinned.
- Ol will.
Mitch waited for her to ask him what was going on, but she didn`t oo did.
- I was evil, Mitch - Sissy said.
- Oh yes? - He sat beside her, elbows backs of the thighs. - Tell me
everything.
- I was torturing Brendon again.
- But that didn`t is f you too cil, bochechinha? She smiled in surprise.
- I hate that nickname.

- I know. But didn`t care.

- Keep this up, and will face my hurricane the bra and the legs f
laughed, kicking and punching.
- It's a ble respeit battle skill.
- I also think.
- What about torturing my brother o ...
- I know, it too will f cyl. He always falls. I need something else to fill my
needs.
- A major challenge?
- That.
He stood and held am to her. Sissy accepted it, the warm fingers in it,
which is to be pulled at p is.
- Come on.
- Where?
- We have a castle full of shapeshifters, will alcohol and predat instinct O
evil-contained river.
- But O n s promise Bobby Ray ...
Leaning forward, he rested his forehead against hers.
- On Monday, ra p can blame all on me.
Sissy frowned and patted Mitch's face.
- N o think that will escape!
- Today we have fun, huh, Sissy?

It fit his face in the two m them and pulled back a little, staring into his
eyes. For a moment of pure astonishment, he thought she would beij will it. And it
would have been perfect. In the garden, under the moon, s O the two ...
- Sissy Mae ... ... Smith!
Both were troubled, and Sissy walked away quickly, but didn`t had nowhere
else to go, and fell on the bench. Yes? Janie Mae approached.
- Est the making gifts. Youre didn`t should be l will?
- Yeah. - She got up and dusted the part of tr s will dress.
- Think you can keep it?
Mitch didn`t know what Sissy was about to say, but had a tio the sensation
that the sil is ncio would be better. Determined to prevent bloodshed, he grabbed
am o Sissy and dragged her back to the salt thereof to the prom. The m and hers
obser will move away, and when looked at Mit ch tr s will, her smile remind the uo
of Sissy.
Of course, I never mention it to her. In the best of hip O theses, it would be
scalped.
Al is m's more, kiss or do anything else with Sissy at that time would be a
mistake for both. And they knew it.
- Belo toast! - congratulated Ronnie.
- Thank you.
- Only one insult ill-disguised ado to Jessie Ann. I think she was
impressed.
Sissy winced.

- I didn`t was trying to insult you -la. I found what a I should clarify this for
Bobby Ray, j will which is his marriage.
- Youre did the best he could.
- Gee, thanks!
Ronnie held the bra the Sissy and pulled her friend closer.
- And what would hist O is this about you is and will Mit c hl in the garden?
Sissy rubbed his forehead.
- Are you telling me that my pr o m would put you and is spreading rumors
about me?
- N o. Mit ch was the one who told me. He said youre s were caught redhanded by it.
Sissy gave up. That idiot!
- Nothing happened.
- Why were caught. He thinks qu is youre est will love. Whatever his genes
... al is m life insurance.
- It's like he wanted to get slapped me.
The friends were in sil is ncio for a moment, then said, joints:
- It is well poss ble .
Sissy took a ta the champagne, and that's when she saw the jailed on felony
charge will -la. He was a gra to, though somewhat quietly.
Asi will tico, stylish ... and very cute.

- I conhe the youre s two - he said. She could perce ber that is ingl sn o l
e was his home ngua, but almost didn`t had an accent, only a slight brit accent
single. - Youre took my Lotus!
Sissy choked on the champagne, and Ronnie eats or seek sa of, or the
police with the pris order . Giving a teasing smile, he continued:
- Some would say that youre won it fairly, but I still have my d lives.
Realizing that didn`t was being accused of theft, which will j was an al vio,
Sissy looked at the man in front of him with more attention ction. He was a c
wild asi will tico, and a gra a. But that she will already had noticed.
- Now I remember ... In the Philippines, right?
- Correct. Like my car?
- Oh ... of course! - At vend is is it. That thing had financed six months in
Asia.
- I am Kenshin Inu if didn`t record it.
- I'm Sissy Mae Smith, and this is Ronnie Lee Reed.
- Youre Smitty is relative?
- Yes.
- Interesting ... You know, I'm working with him and Mace to open a branch
of their Japanese company.
- Are you?
Bobby Ray didn`t told him, probably because he knew she would beg for
Deix will -la going to Jap o to the initial arrangements.

Ah, but they would talk about it when he returned from the honeymoon! The
id is going to return to the road made her almost euf rich O. N o was like before, j I
didn`t feel the need to flee far away, to return only in the final year and blamed
visits to Tennessee. Now, living in the city he loved as f m is the pack Alpha Smith
of New York, I had a reason to return. But I would always traveling, and Bobby
Ray knew it. Al is m's more, Ronnie Lee could take care of the wolves as she
didn`t even there.
Your mind will already turned to the possibility.
- The bride will're calling me. If you're s licen O give me the ... - He smiled
and walked away.
- Will you wait at is after the honeymoon to torture Bobby Ray with it, or
will come air from j will?
- Then, of course! But Mace will hear much on Monday.
Ronnie laughed and balan or fit a. Sissy didn`t know what to do without
your travel partner. Together, they caused a lot of damage around the world, and
the entry of the two was banned in some pa ses because of it.
Oops, that will be the Jap was on the list?
But Ronnie was now with Brendon, madly apai xonada. Although she loved
traveling, didn`t had the same obsess o Sissy the subject.
- Ah! - Ronnie gestured to a beautiful woman in a very sexy dress. - I think
youre's still didn`t have been presented. Gwen O'Neill, this is Sissy Mae Smith.
Sissy, this is the sister ca ula Mitch, Gwen.
God is c u! That was the sister zinha ca ula Mitch? His "sweet and ble
ador" sister zinha? Maybe it was a tio imagine Sissy, but the woman was too

sensual, in her hopefully-it- c isa low-cut back, jumps alt ssimos and a short curly
hair and that ca e on the golden eyes to look innocent.
According to Mitch, she was O s means lioness. His father was a tiger in
southern China, which made it one tigreoa, a rare combines ction. And stayed with
the best of each esp is cie. Beautiful, full of class and ...
- I'd give my left breast for sex at some point this weekend, but I think it
didn`t happen.
This time it was Ronnie who choked on the champagne, and Sissy stared at
the innocent sister ca ula Mitch, fascinated.
- I thought I would find someone is m here, but ... - p s the m the hips
and looked around - ... didn`t have nobody is promising m.
Her voice was low, husky. On the phone, it could be mistaken for a man.
- You know - she continued - Mitch speaks highly of you is. - She looked
Sissy before re-examine the crowd o.
- And I always say: "If you're like her that much, married with her soon, lad
..." And he always responds "Oh, shut up!"
Sissy didn`t even look up Ronnie.
- But this is a beautiful party, didn`t? Although didn`t have invited us. But
mam and was resolved. She was going to come, then imagined it would be
better that I see iesse also is m for mant is -la out of trouble, you know? When she
takes two margaritas, loses in ction! But Brendon put us in smoothly, and all were
quite simp will ticos. Except that bitch. - She sniffed and pointed with his chin
Sister g is mea Brendon. - Marissa am-a-gift-divine-to-the-universe Shaw. She is
will this dist ... INSTANCE - jerked his thumb O pr ximo the indicator - ... to

receive a jet will acid on her face. I think she didn`t realize that no one is m speaks
ill of my brother o. N o care who it is. Or in this case, to the person who thinks it
is.
Sissy turned his body so an o see or glimpse of the face or express body
of Ronnie. N o ag could entar.
- What I love is that it acts as if it were higher. Like I didn`t know who she is
and where it came from. But I know, because I came from the same place, you
know?
Ap s a moment, Sissy realized that didn`t was a question ret rich O.
- I know, of course.
- Conhe the many so that they forget mens t Y our soon manage to fend for
themselves. But I didn`t'm like that, or my hand and . Mitch is what we mean. No
one is m messes with him. - And again, those golden eyes exami nated Sissy. - You
know, youre 's prettier than I thought. I'm surprised that youre's still didn`t have
gone to bed. He says he s Y our friends, although why someone is m would want to
have a man friend, I didn`t understand. Because, al is m for sex or equip my car
didn`t know to what else they serve. But this is s O my VIEW o.
Mitch was at it and handed them to the brothers ta one of the champagne.
- All right here? - Asked, lan walk Sissy an advert looking for is NCIA
didn`t mess with your sister .
N on what he had to worry about. Personally, Sissy would rather avoid
having acid will lan ado on his face.
- All thymus O - Gwen said. - Stop worrying about me.

She spent the bra by the Mitch's waist and rested the head to his chest.
Considering his fam read, thought that Gwen would be much higher, however,
didn`t reached a meter and seventy-five. Most Smith would consider small. N o
wonder I wore those heels though as she could walk on it, Sissy didn`t know.
- I'm your sister the oldest, I'll always worry about you is. - Suddenly,
Mitch concentrated on something at the bar and growled.
- What it was?
- He's staring you youre.
Gwen rolled her eyes, and Sissy did not bother to see who was talking.
- I'll take care of it. - Mitch turned away from the sister and went to the
bar.
- Well - Ronnie, who loved to state the obvious O, suspi rou. - Now we
know why youre didn`t going to get to have sex this weekend.
Mitch went back to the brother , feeling very good about having amazed the
puma.
- Finished?
- J will. S O'm protecting my sister zinha.
- Why, thank you. Mitch looked around.
- Cad is Sissy?
- N o know ... She said "mam and left" and then she and Ronnie sa ram
running. It was interesting.
- Youre and mam and d good. N o know how bad it is when it didn`t
happen.

- I like mam and . And she's worried you c om youre.

- Very subtle the way youre broached the subject.
- I s O warning that it will be insistent tonight. A gar om arrived with two
bottles of Guinness.
- Youre a saint! - Mitch sighed happily, taking her bottle. After a good drink,
he spoke to the sister : - You know what's funny ado youre mam and and
being here?
- What?
- Neither was invited. Gwen shrugged.
- Do you know her. No way, would lose oppose tunity to see the little boy in
a tuxedo. Al is m's more, this will be considered est s party is ass. She didn`t would
lose.
- Yeah, but youre st is m is at a table!
- Brendon took care of that for n o s. - Gwen smiled. - He always said that
accuracy will ssemos anything, it was enough to call him ... was what mam and
did.
- He speaks the river is. If you're s need anything, try it. He will always take
care of youre s.
- Oh ... okay.
- Why are you looking at me like you?
- You look tired. And thin. Too thin.
- I'm fine. S O I got a lot rests on the .
- Something to do with Sissy?

- J will will come air?

- I didn`t him to know. Now I knew ... didn`t know what youre're hoping
will. She is beautiful. And robust. Uncle Joey always said that men O'Neill need
grandalhonas women.
- If you will eat air quote Uncle Joey, I'm leaving.
- S O didn`t know what the problem is.
- No. And I want to continue like this.
- Sure, your Coward o ...
- Youre should know that I didn`t offend me with that.

Sissy hit op is impatiently.

- Desiree, youre have to choose something.
Desiree was probably the total human nica where Sissy could say that
trust. A police du rona a m and incr ble , and a friend optimum, Desiree didn`t
was to be dismissed. It was a pred the dora t mortal as the rest of them. When
Sissy invited to be the godmother of his son, he was decla clear way to rado,
"because I know you're going to kill anyone who tries to hurt you it does." True
words, but the fact that Desiree realized this and acted accordingly was what set
her apart from other humans, weaker.
However, when it came to chocolate, Desiree could be t annoying as Jessie
Ann.
- N on with you! It has two hundred types of cake, brownie, cake, fondue ...
- Select.

- N on with you!
- Youre know I love you, but have a certain p table whatever you're calling
me.
- Youre didn`t can go to the l. I think I'll take a little bit of everything ...
- Why didn`t?
- Your m and will was there, the last time I looked.
- But this woman you're everywhere, my!
Mitch sat on the huge table and fiddled with his slice of wedding cake. N on
what didn`t were delicious, was. In fact, the bride made the quest to announce
that the cake was simply didn`t chocolate; It was chocolate with seventy-two
percent cocoa. When she had said this, before cutting the cake, there was a "oh!"
collective, coming from wild c es and Desiree. To Mitch, chocolate was
chocolate.
N o was the cake, it was him. His fam lia had reason o. I was thinning.
Simply didn`t was hungry. It must have been the fear of death messing with your
appetite.
How long had it? Five years ... Five years since he had used his old
connections ns is the time of the high school to infiltrate the group O 'Farrell. His
department the pin tara as a corrupt cop, and his past as the star football in school
had helped a little.
But after O s all that work and expense, didn`t managed to nothing. Almost
every accuses gs against O 'Farrell were derru badas after legal maneuvers. In fact,
the situation tio oj will be terminated if didn`t except for one tio accuses. One that

estra gara Mitch disguise, on which he didn`t could talk to his fam read, and that
gave him nightmares still.
First-degree murder against Peter O 'Farrell, ol der gang. Mitch was the
nica witness to what that bastard had done, the now was the only thing between
freedom and prison the perp is yours for O 'Farrell. If he didn`t test munhasse, the
case would collapse. If dead, O 'Farrell would leave the chain in an instant.
He needed Mitch killed.
A thought desconfort ble. N o wonder that Mitch lost his appetite.
Sissy took the empty chair next to him and took off his shoes. Funny ado, s
O the presence her j will soothed. I never realized that.
Turning in his chair, put his Sissy p s is on his lap, ignoring the fact that he
was still eating ... or pretending to eat.
- Rub my feet is s.
Mitch put his fork down and looked at the p is s it.
- N o is necessary a rio one licen the vet will laugh to move on hulls of this
size?
She raised op is a little bit and let go with is the on abd his men ripping a
moan.
- Massage! He obeyed.
- How are you?
- So far so good. I could evit will -la. If she is will on the one hand, I fa o
the quest to go to the other. If she looks over the people, as if looking for me, I run
like you're going to Olimp e adas.

- That's your plan for the rest of the night? Run away from your hand and ?
- Yes it is. And as youre insists kill father or m and is very wrong, I didn`t
have a choice.
- Good point. But it's j will eventually. More someone but hours m sic New
Wave c es dan wild stray too bad, and everything will be just a bad souvenir .
Sissy looked at the dance floor to .
- Crosses, they dan am barely even ...
- But it's lush, didn`t it?
She balan or fit it and looked away.
- I have to say, Sissy. I thought you had more sister is them.
Sissy followed his gaze in dire ction Smitty, which conver sava with one of
the cousins who had come from one of the other towns controlled by Smith. Many
of Smitty's hometown was absent.
- Unfortunately, I have, yes. But they didn`t know how to behave. - She
sighed. - It is not fair. Sammy has ten puppies and a restaurant, which he and his
wife care. But Travis Ray and Donnie Ray could have closed the shop for a few
days. And by know, counters n the very seeks FROG ered is this time of year,
then the think Jack Ray could have shut that crap es c ritoriozinho for a weekend.
- So o, why h did it?
- Because s the bastards. Why do you think this is irresponsible. Because
when dad didn`t est l will for you, Travis likes to think he is the boss. And impose
tant: est will is the time of the American Football League.
Mitch frowned. He loved sports, but football was his passion o.

- N o est is will the football poca.

- Yeah, well ...
- Yeah, well, the qu is? I'm sure didn`t will est. Sissy balan or fit a.
- N o want to discuss it.
- Okay, but ... She interrupted him:
- I didn`t want to discuss it.
- All right, all right. N o need to be bravinha.
- And stop telling everyone that mam and inter broke in the garden.
- But she interrupted.
- And what is it that I'm in love with you is?
- But it is you're - he teased, loving the way he made her smile with things
that normal women didn`t think vam not at all funny adas. - S O didn`t want to
face it. Youre is a sassy mermaid, that's what!
- You know, youre looks like the star of the football team is col gio ...
- I went.
- ... But talks like a nerd.
- It's called "being complex and mico din".
- It's called schizophrenia, that is. - Her body tensed suddenly. - It's her, right
there?
Mitch looked around.
- N on him to see. I think youre est will be safe for now.
- I thought I smelled it.

- Your m en est will starting tomorrow ? Sissy relaxed.

- Yes! She, my father and Ronnie's parents embark on a cruise. And since
you didn`t About time. S O left me another nerve, Mitchell. A. And she's playing
banjo will with him.
Mitch laughed as Sissy called one of gar ons.
- Wanted - she said, with her most sensual accent, youre could get me a shot
of tequila, please?
Looking at her dumbfounded and awestruck, the gar om nodded and eat
or leave. Mitch grabbed him by the jacket and asked:
- N o will offer me?
- Ah, yes, yes ... Of course! You would like to qu is?
- Beer.
- We have over seventy ...
- Budweiser.
The gar om seemed disgusted with the simplicity of Mitch.
- Of course, sir.
P is s huge balan plow in front of his face of Mitch so the gar om left.
- Uh-uh? Youre still didn`t ended. And see you do it right this time.
Mitch took the p is s her and raised an eyebrow.
- Oh, I do, yes.
- N o you dare ...

He eats or make c O blind, and Sissy tried to pull them will back, laughing
hysterically.
- Stop, Mitch! Stop! Oh!
The woman even had the ability to come out of nowhere. In a second, didn`t
he had just appeared, as was pulling her daughter by the hair.
- Sissy Mae Smith! Behave!
Mitch continued to hold the p s is Sissy, scared her to get up and leave up of
m and .
T or will as fast as had demonstrated their anger, Janie Mae calmed down
and kissed Mitch's forehead.
- Will Hello, nice kitty ...
Strange how it is and it turns the holiday will see times during the day, but
this was the first time ... and greeted with a kiss on top. He had the distinct
impression the of being used. N o matter which, at is like the crazy wolf. Of
course, didn`t much as liked her daughter.
- Ol will, Mrs. Janie. - All the so called, and Mitch was afraid to do
otherwise.
She patted her cheek with that motherly way.
- I just met your m and. Loved it! Mitch was astonished.
- Really?
He admitted that his m en o f will cil was to like. It was noisy, foulmouthed and rude. But for him, I didn`t want to say anything; she fascinated him.
His dream had always been to own pr O prio salt thereof to the chic beauty, but the
band it didn`t wanted to get the money for it. They paid for him to study nursing.

She had been a nurse for years, SAVING money and having read gs hairdresser in
his spare time. It took years, but could open salt thereof to him, and now had three
of them in the region is s the Filad is lfia. With its pr O is O would put the states
and ction, arises on the pack vel O'Neill before other le ns, and Mitch had offered
more than once to "Bailout you it does get a bunch o s your and settle down. "
- It is ador ble. I'm planning a big party at the end of see it, and invited her
and her beautiful sister quela zinha her. I want youre is also mv will, are you
well?
- You want the people will see the Smithtown?
- No no! We will do for right here. Jesus, I never would lead to Smithtown,
son!
Janie grabbed Mitch's face with one of the m and aper tou is at the mouth
to pucker. His m and freq ue INSTANCE did the same. Would maternal instinct?
- This face is too beautiful to estrag will it.
Mitch laughed, Janie patted her cheek and then left. When looked at Sissy,
she stared at him as if he had tra somehow.
- Which it was?

Mitch walked atr s will of his brother him and gave him a slap on the back.
The good was that, with Brendon, Mitch didn`t had to contain. His brother on
the sa to flying across the room, nor was furious because of a pat. Instead,
stopped, looked at three will be asked:
- What it was?
- Are you having fun?

The balcony on the dance floor to , Brendon looked down, with that intense
look he had. He always seemed to be trying to solve major world problems. After a
long time, he said:
- Yes I am.
Twenty minutes to answer a simple question ... Mitch j will'd almost
forgotten that asked. Mitch leaned on the railing.
- Youre and Gwen est o getting along?
- Of course. Youre know I love Gwenie.
- And Marissa ...
- It takes one bit more of time to is open - Brendon explained to the
brother .
- Gwenie will're thinking of coming in a couple of months. Maybe she could
...
- She'll be at the hotel.
Mitch opened his mouth to say something, but Brendon interrom peu,
practically growling:
- And if you're insinuating that will pay for the room, I will jog it does up
here.
Mitch looked over the railing and measured dist INSTANCE. N o would
mat you it does, but it would hurt; best avoided.
- S O didn`t want that someone is m ... en Y our'll mention names ... but
someone is m that looks a lot like youre, have very similar DNA and came from
the same have, s O ten minutes before youre ... accuse me of taking advantage.

Brendon laughed.
- I wish youre stop taking the river is what someone is m says. Al is addition,
the hotel is as much yours as ours, and qui be inviting someone is m for the tes t su
rooftop di whose will would cost ten thousand, that's your business. - Brendon took
a sip of his beer. Contrary to a rio Mitch, like the more obscure brands. - What's
more, Gwen is the fam read.
- N o of its directly.
- His sister is my sister, her fits to-the-wind. If she needs something, all
you have to do is ask.
Mitch nodded and felt the al vio invade it. I was worried about who would
take care of Gwen, or when something happened to him. Knowing that Brendon
would do it for him made him more relieved than he could say.
- Thanks, bro.
- Oh, shut up, Mitch - Brendon growled, making the brother smile.

Sissy lifted the cup of tequila, and Ronnie did the same.
- To good friends, and hope to we never have to go through it.
Ronnie laughed, tapping the glass of her friend, and both took the contents
of in one gulp s O. Sissy shuddered. That tequila was O optimal ... but enough.
Although he wanted to get drunk very didn`t hear cr intermin optical ble its m
and Sissy had promised herself ...
- Why are you drinking will it? - am and asked, will atr s it. - You know I
didn`t ag enta.

- Because I have the hope that the O v will blind me to the fact youre still be
. - Sissy motioned to the bartender pedin the other, and did not have to look to
know that Ronnie had fled. N o I could not blame you -la. Ronnie j you had to deal
with the pr O would put m e. - Are you leaving tomorrow even didn`t is mam
and ?
With a ta the champagne in m o, Janie Mae Lewis rested against balc o.
His m and never needed ten tar seem daunting. It simply was. At the same time, I
had a apar is NCIA Thank You ble.
No one is m never said that Sissy seemed Thank You ble ... In apar is
INSTANCE, it sa e ra to his father. Dark hair, brown eyes, contrasting with the m
and which were color mbar, and a strong chin, square.
The other sister s Lewis didn`t had fei gs t the harsh, nor any nerves
Sissy as its m and . Mainly because she had a habit of saying things like, "You
know, if you're trying didn`t face both, at it could be beautiful."
Sissy sighed on hearing the words of m and, remembering the promise he
had made to his father.
- I'm sure, somewhere in that sentence, you have a hidden compliment. Ent
o, thank you.
- S O want to be happy, Sissy Mae.
Sissy felt t proud I held his desd is m.
- And didn`t will be f eliz to continue panicking every man that appears. See
s O as his brother est you happy. And Jessie Ann j will est gr will to life. soon
be the happy, with a per ction puppies, and you're going to be the favorite aunt of
them. Power will visit them will later this year, and maybe the dog sleep them to
their p's night s.

Sissy turned, ready to send am and be silent when someone is m gave him
a Found o.
- Oh, darling, I'm sorry. - Lioness down an bit of champagne in Sissy dress,
and was dusting the place desperately. - I'm sorry, even! Let me Bailout will -la
clean.
Ent o, the stranger smiled at Janie Mae.
- I swear, I t Y our muddled, Janie! Let - limp me will -la. We returned j
will. - And he left Sissy dragging out the salt thereof to the ball, and the darkness
o, at is stopping at a bank m will MARBLE.
- Sit down, my child a. Sit down.
Sissy did, and that was when he felt a wave of pure O dio invade it. If one
lioness didn`t oa had taken away, Sissy would have broken his promise to his
father, al m is likely to mind having to spend a night in jail, en o would forgive.
- Okay, take a deep breath ... - A m the firm pushed her back until your
head is that the O was between his knees.
- Breathe, girl, deep, is at the bells in his ear stop.
How did she know of the bells?
After a good ten minutes, Sissy finally sen tiu strong enough to sit. The
lioness sat beside her, smoking, and Sissy took a good look at it.
- Mrs. O'Neill.?
The m and Mitch! Sissy had had a chance to take just one "will ol 'r will
pido past her in the Games Room. The lioness was plucking n some wolves, and
Sissy had left for her to finish the service it.

- Oh, honey, call me Roxanne. Or Roxy. N o is my real name, you see ... A
good Irish girl has a good name Irish lish. But youre already will see how Patrick
Maries stances have at Mass every Sunday? Ent o, when I was nine, I decided I
wanted me call him Roxanne. - She smiled, and at that moment he was just like his
son.
- One of my aunts read a lot, and when I told everyone in a Sunday dinner
that from that moment I would Roxanne, she asked me if it was because of that
book C yrano didn`t know of many. And I told her, and the priest was having
dinner l will at home, it was because the pros tituta who worked the corner near the
ice cream I and my sister s freq then will we go after school.
Sissy laughed while Roxy balan the ava the head.
- I tell you, girl, that night I slept butt up. But everyone calls me Roxy is at
today.
She took the purse Gucci and pulled it to one ma l the cigar ros in half.
- Whether? Sissy refused.
- I quit smoking. H will a dozen years or so.
- You want to spend the rest of the night without killing your hand and ?
Realizing she had reason o, Sissy took out a cigarette and let the Roxy lit with his
golden lighter.
As he leaned back and smoked, he watched am and Mitch with attention
ction. Like all lionesses, she was all golden. But his hair was lighter strands, and
was brushed in order to look like a sexy mane. She wore a golden dress fair, maybe
a little too bold for her age, and designer shoes is also golden m that must have
cost a fortune. Although Sissy didn`t have certainly j will that was more adept
boots.

The m and Mitch was beautiful, but there was something wild that made
Sissy liked her immediately. N o had the hubris that she saw in Llewellyn and
other bands who had attended the wedding. That woman didn`t had good taste or
class, and Sissy knew right away that he loved.
- I have to say, girl, my son always says youre in. But the conversation is
very strange. - She is turned slightly to face Sissy. - He pulled even his lime to up
the other day?
Sissy laughed, remembering the fight during the rehearsal dinner. She
thought that her m and would have a heart attack, t o embarrassed.
- Ah ... it was. But I kind of deserved it.
- So o, youre my son and ... uh ... - She raised her sobran perfect celhas,
and Sissy laughed even more.
- N o, creed! Now the lioness seemed insulted.
- And why the hell didn`t? My son didn`t is good enough for you is?
- Mrs. O'Neill ...
- Roxy.
- Roxy, believe me when I say that there will be few and Smith qu can
accuse someone is m didn`t be good enough. But O n s are companions. Friends.
- Let me tell you something, girl. My ... Mitchy Mitchy?
- I love you too. But his father and I ... well, let's say it was very much a tio
obliges than a love affair. J will my beautiful Gwen ... me and her father ... - And
that's when she ronr the nou. For real.

- Let's say they had never done me like that is at ent o, and never after him.
G is wenie the nica born of love. And you should look for is this, someone is m
the fa to feel that way.
- What happened with Gwen's father?
Sissy knew something must have happened, because Roxy tells him va in the
past. Sissy didn`t had id is going to like Mitch made her feel, and would remain so.
It was in til analyze it had never been his style.
Roxy shrugged his broad shoulders. T e peaks of a big cat, and probably
why she seemed didn`t fear nothing and no one is m. Why fear, and for the O to a
tank?
- I messed up. He had forces gs with his fam read in Hong Kong, and I was
too afraid to leave Filad is lfia and my pack. - The golden eyes rested on the Sissy.
- But youre didn`t afraid to let your atheistic alc, huh? Mitch says youre j will was
everywhere.
- Smithtown has many alphas, and pouqu ssimo Territory O river.
- Al is addition, youre didn`t would want to have to defeat your m and take
charge.
- As if I could ...
- Oh, could, yes. And she knows. - Roxy came a little more. - Or to
someone is m doing this with the pr O Pippen s sister, girl. She does what she
does to keep youre destabilized.
- But I didn`t live more in Smithtown.

- Yes, but at that is settle down, at is having a parcei ro and it is another

place that didn`t Smithtown, she will always worry that youre back for l will once.
When you know someone is mt strong, we must find other ways to keep track.
Roxy pulled another cigarette puff before you jog it does outside. The Sissy j
will was over, almost burning his fingers.
- So o when will tell her I didn`t want children? Sissy froze.
- Who said I didn`t want?
- Look, when someone mentions having children is m to m is someone you
want, youre v is this desire in the person's eyes. You know what I saw in her eyes
when she mentioned the child ? Impaci is INSTANCE.
Sissy laughed so eating or coughing, and Roxy nodded to fit .
- I thought so.
She patted his knee and Sissy leaned close to her, whispering:
- S O to youre know, dear: Mitch is also mn want children.
- Stop! - Sissy pushed the shoulders of Roxy, garga lhando. - Stop, please ...
Youre didn`t should be trying to Junt will it with a f m is some gang, or a human? I
thought that most gall Videos prefer to see their young with a human than with a
can e dea.
- I want my Mitchy be happy, and he didn`t will be happy no one in the band
is m. And he's too nice to live with other cats. - Roxy took another cigarette, and
his ros s got to the river is. - But I'm worried about him. N o will're sleeping or
eating right.
- It is this judgment that is coming. And now he's will to fit aa pr is mio.
With cross and looking up legs, Roxy pouted.

- He will j was the head aa pr is mio. That's why I came to New York,
right? A few thousand?
- I think that increased value. From what I hear, it is quite high.
- How do you know?
- I was nosy and it heard a conversation. Roxy nodded approvingly.
- Good girl. What else youre heard?
- What will he's going back to Filad is lfia on Monday.
- And you're going to miss.
Sissy answered truthfully:
- He's my best friend, Roxy. Along with Ronnie Lee. Of course I'll miss.
- I tried to convince it does is to stay out of it, you know? Tried maintains it
does is with your mouth shut and pretend that didn`t had seen anything. I'm from
the vicinity, I know what happens to alcaguetes.
- He didn`t is snitch! - Sissy shot, defending it automatically. - It's a cop
doing his job. And he did a great job. Risking his life to hold vagabun of how Peter
O 'Farrell requires a courage that most O n sn have it. - Sissy took a deep breath
to calm down. - Youre is m and him, and I respect, but watch what you say. N o
want to see Mitch wounded by someone's carelessness is m.
That golden gaze stared at her for a long time, and when Roxy move, Sissy
held, waiting to take a punch. Instead, Roxy kissed her forehead. Almost at the
same place as his father kissed.
What was happening to everyone? It would be the home ment? It will be
affecting people, such as funerals?

- Youre a wonderful and dear girl, and I'm glad youre be ... Mitch's friend.
Roxy got up, fixing her dress back in place. With so many curves, the
woman had to wear clothes for valoriz will -Las.
- Come on you, girl. Let's take a real drink for you is. I know that I need one.
- Better not. I will I j ... two or three lish.
- What's one more? Do not worry. - She smiled, and Sissy would have sworn
he had seen stuck there. - I care for you is.

Mitch was being distracted by the uncles and sister the Ronnie Reed,
getting excited with the homemade drink that had tra duced Tennessee when he
saw Desiree MacDermot leave the salt thereof to the prom. Like her, it was a good
cop. A little crazy, but one had to be, to do the service .
- All right, gentlemen. We will l.
- What? - Rory Reed, the brother the oldest of Ronnie, asked in a voice a
little too high. Wolves didn`t ag entavam drink!
- L will front. Grooms est o leaving, ev Throws bouquet is. Ent o, we
will l!
- Flowers s the lie - Mitch recalled.
- J will will come air, cat? Because I'm tired and grumpy, and the effect of
j chocolate will passed.
- I see why Mace loves you.
- Yeah, yeah, of course. Kiss my ass.

Mitch and Reed boys laughed, following Desiree is back at the castle. As
they approached the front, and the crowd blocking the entrance, Desiree gestured
for Mitch.
- You can take Sissy account before and am her to see?
- Where is she?
- At the bar of the funds.
The reports ction on o bothered. It was the phrase that triggered the alarm:
- With its m e.
Mitch stopped holding Desiree by the bra . If didn`t Soubes if, say she was
seconds from the gun he had hidden somewhere, j will that didn`t sa the house
without one.
- Can repeat?
- Sissy est will with your hand and . Roxy, didn`t it?
- What they're doing it together ?
Mitch knew he sounded desperate, but Desiree didn`t saw the impending
disaster.
- Drinking, the last time ... where you're going?
Mitch ran, past the people and trying to pretend that didn`t was nothing
wrong. Especially when I saw Janie. Her eyes narrowed and searched the crowd
o instantly, Sissy looking for without d life. Through Ronnie, Mitch pulled her
hair and pointed am and Sissy. She took a second to understand, but then moved
and stood in front of the woman, before she sa iff to look for her daughter.

As Desiree said, Mitch found Sissy and her m and bar of funds. When she
saw him, Roxy stood, smiling.
- The will're my boy!
- What youre done with her?
The head to Sissy rested on the balc o, and his body was about to slide
off the bench.
- I was s o knowing the girl, here. - Roxy agar rou the bra his. - I like her,
Mitchell. She's smart, funny ada and robust. Youre know what your uncle Joey
says.
- N o! N O sn o let's talk about Uncle Joey now. - Sissy Mitch grabbed her
shoulders and pulled her backwards will s. - Sissy? Are you listening to me?
Her eyes widened.
- Mitchy! - She screamed, and he covered her mouth with am o.
- N o know why you're upset. - Roxy shrugged. - If didn`t can handle it, I'm
sure her mother will give a way.
- Do not even think about it.
- All right. Hey, in m e nimo, I eased things for you is.
- M and !
Roxy raised his m them.
- I was kidding! When did you lose your sense of humor?
- That didn`t funny was ado.
They both heard the same time ... the voice of Ronnie approaching:
- I'm sure it must be in the bathroom, Mrs. Janie. For real!

- Why the hell you're screaming, Ronnie Lee Reed?

- Come on, boy! - Roxy motioned him sa iff, and Mitch immediately took
Sissy and placed it over her shoulders. S O could hope she didn`t throw up. - And
No OA light to her room at the hotel, is the first place where am and will look.
Mitch nodded and left by a back door ... barely escape Janie, who arrived
where they had been.
- I know she will're here, Ronnie Lee I can smell it ... and tequila.!
Mitch moved r will pido, past the castle and in dire ction funds. I had to take
Sissy's at the hotel. Of course, didn`t had no id is going to what to do after that.
Especially when you heard Sissy shoot:
- Youre has a nice ass, Mitchell Shaw!
That would be a long night ...
Sissy turned, burying the head in the pillow and ten ing block the sunlight.
As never liked to get up early, always kept the curtains of your room in Hotel
Kingston Arms closed. N o know why didn`t oo made the night before.
Well, didn`t matter. I was too exhausted to turn; exhausted and sore. His
throat burned, and it is up to throbbed. Your c is rebro seemed to explode.
It must have been one last sip of tequila. She remembered thinking: so
wasted air, now you're here?
Unfortunately, that was the last thing she remembered clearly.
N o would get up if he could help. He buried the head to further the pillow.
It was tasty, ent o she did it again. Somehow, the act eased the pain of it is the O
... she would never admit to being a hangover ... and then oo repeated. Then he
rubbed his face into the pillow.

It was the smell. She wanted that smell it. A very pet thing, and that Sissy
could never explain for a human without receiving in response an expression of
disgust o.
While your mind eats ava to imagine who can would be that scent, she felt
the bed sink and something heavy leaning against his body.
- Honey? - Said a delightfully deep voice. - Are you awake? I need you is,
dear.
Sissy's eyes opened at once, but closed up against the sunlight that reached
its c is rebro.
- Mitchell?
- Yes - he purred, ro walk the nose to his chin and his ear. - Are you ready
for more, babe? Because, definitely didn`t done here.
Regardless of the pain caused by light, Sissy punched Mitch's chest and
pushed him away while retreating is at your back touching the headboard. Held the
len ol under the chin with both the m .
- What the hell is going on?
- What's wrong, honey? She stared at him in horror.
- Mitchell Shaw, tell me youre didn`t did it!
- This what? - He crawled across the bed at is where she was. - What didn`t
come youre tip-fits to and made love to you is like never before? Well, if you're
asking me to be honest, ent I have to say that ...
- N o! - One of the m released the len ol to get up, asking sil is ncio. Not another word!
- N o is so, baby.

- And stop calling me that!

Mitch took the len ol and eat or it does pull you away from her.
- N o t e is damp, dear. N o have more secrets. N o, that didn`t was
happening! It was not! And she was dressed!
Hey, it was true ... She was dressed.
Sissy looked at the clean white shirt and a lime a sweatshirt, is also white
m. Ronnie could smell them. Those clothes were Ronnie, s O could be. Sissy never
wore white. She Possu a trend is NCIA bring down food in the clothes in question
o seconds. And something told him that it was Ronnie who dressed.
- Youre t is sensual, babe ...
Slowly, she looked at Mitch, and making an effort to overcome the O
hangover, realized he was having trouble didn`t laugh out loud.
- Your ... hairy bastard!
Sissy jumped on him, knocking him out of bed. She punched and slapped
him in the face as he defended himself from the blows with those bra the
immense. N o help that he was laughing like crazy all the time.
- I hate you, Mitchell Shaw! I hate you!
- Youre my love, bochechinha! Admit it!
- One day - she said, between punches - you're going to find me in hell. And
I'll kick your ass and big white!
- Last night, youre said it was a nice ass ...
- Shut up!

Mitch grabbed the wrists of Sissy and turned, putting her back, with him
between her legs.
- You will keep fighting against me, or will admit that I am your Lord and
Savior?
- Blasf is mia!
- It's what they told priests.
- I should'd talk to my father beat you up!
- He is on vacation. With its m e. Remember?
And at that moment, all the combativeness faded Sissy.
- She's gone? For real?
- For real. - He leaned over and gave her a kiss on the nose. - Now, will keep
fighting against me, or we will take coffee is?
- Caf is, you bastard. But that didn`t will be forgotten.
Smiling, Mitch released her and stood up. Y our extended am and took
Sissy, helping to get the p is.
- You sure you're okay? - He still held am hers. - I s O was joking.
- It was evil. Of course, thinking better now, I have to appreciate his
boldness. He approached.
- So o, didn`t you're mad at me?
- I should be ...
Sissy looked up at the beautiful Mitch's face, and the words died in his throat
when he saw something there that didn`t saw with freq ue INSTANCE, perhaps
never have looked with attention ction before. He saw desire, pure and simple. He

was stamped on his face, and the way he looked at her l will bios. She swallowed,
and was about to pass al l will ngua in parched bios, but soon realized it would be
a m id will is going.
Mitch sighed.
- We have to go, didn`t it?
- Yes, we have.
She had to go, right? Somewhere in the universe, it was the right thing to do.
But she didn`t could not remember why.
- You're right. I know you have. - He balan or fit a little bit. - But it's a
shame, didn`t it?
- Maybe. But from what I hear, youre is a tio denies the bed.
- You know, that was cruel ... and challenging.
Laughing, Sissy tried to hit the head to Mitch. He bent down, the body
away to the side to avoid the bra hers, and then o ... everything was very
strange. She heard a'm low ros, and Mitch fell forward, knocking her down.
- God is c u, Mitch! What is ...
Ent o she smelled. The predator within her sniffed, and he was hungry.
Blood. The blood of Mitch.
- Mitchell?
Sissy grabbed his shoulders and immediately felt the blood soaking her am
o. Emp u rrando it on his back, he looked at his face.
- Mitchell!
He looked at her.

- Get out, Sissy - he managed. - Get out now.

- N o will get rid of me t of cil will, darling. - She examined her whole
body and found the phone. It's O used for connecting personal tio es, but also m
was set for fun ction or you hate.
- This is Sissy, respond!
His brother it was a bright and suspicious man, and pre stopped the safety
to from the moment that the guests had come ado to reach Long Island is at the
moment when everyone had left. She had never felt t Y our grateful.
- Here is T is Sissy. What will h, girl?
- T is, I need to send Mace and Brendon for the quart of Mitch now. He was
hit, and is you bleeding on the neck O oe shoulder.
In a strained voice, a bear of a meter and ninety-seven said:
- Just a moment.
Sissy took the len ol the bed and tore it with his claw. V caught will
holiday strips and pressed against injuries. I was more concerned co mo the neck.
- Mitch, honey, I need you to stay with me! - She imp s a command in his
voice, though he was in p single. - Keep these weird eyes on me!
He obeyed, but Sissy knew it was a challenge for him. Mitch wanted to
sleep. T is returned to speak:
- Sissy, are you the ?
- I am. Proceed.
- We are following - was all she said, and it was all he needed to hear Sissy.
- No hospitals - Mitch said, golden eyes jailed on felony charge will -la.

And she knew he was right. N o could lev will it does to a hospital. At least,
didn`t it to a standard where didn`t could Proteg is it does the proper way.
In the phone he said:
- No Humvee Ambulance INSTANCE, T is. No pol cia.
- Understood.
- I need to go home, Sissy. I'll be safe at home.
She doubted, but didn`t would argue.
- I'll take care of everything, Mitch. N o worry about anything, dear.
- Youre have to leave.
- You know that wolves s O do what they want. We are so dif ficult . Ent
o, g firm one, dear, and let me take care of everything.
She didn`t know how long it took, maybe two minu s O tos, but appeared to
thirty hours at is that the hote l door was kicked in and Mace entered. Desiree was
soon will atr s, wearing only a T-shirt that read "I love my rottweilers." Sissy
almost laughed, which seemed highly inappropriate. As always, Desiree was
armed, this time with a .45, and was slow at is the window, keeping close to the
wall and out of the firing line.
Mace crouched next to Sissy and Mitch.
- No Humvee Ambulance INSTANCE - he repeated.
- N o worry, lad - Mace said. - We have everything under control.
But strips len ol she had tangled and Pressio swimming against j wounds
will were soaked, and Sissy was the m the forearm and the bloodstained,
reaching almost to the elbow,

Desiree approached. Mitch looked at before heading for the door.

- I'll check you out l.
- Desiree ... - But Mace didn`t managed to finish the sentence because it will
already had sa .
Suddenly Brendon and Marissa were there, but without Ronnie, what Sissy
found it very strange. Mace moved away so that Brendon could approach. Marissa
didn`t say anything, but leaned on the wall, with bra crossed and staring
endlessly. Sissy could see the terror in her eyes, the face will read p. She was
terrified by the ca sister ula. And probably never admit it.
The looks of the brother met, and Sissy felt the connection o between
them. She had it with Bobby Ray, a connection what was al m of it is the O
blood.
Brendon grabbed am the Mitch in his.
- We need you tir it does here.
- No Humvee Ambulance INSTANCE - Mitch has to say. - No pol cia.
- N o we will Deix it does here - Brendon said calmly. - We know some m is
physician here?
- I didn`t - said Mace. - But I'm sure ...
Ronnie rushed in, and will atr s it came am and Mitch and Gwen.
Roxy Brendon away and crouched next to Mitch. He took the peda the
len ol 'way and examined the injury.
- I need you water. Gwen, v will at is the car and take the kit of first aid.

Gwen was without question, and Ronnie took the ice bucket before going at
is the bathroom, you get the water.
Roxy picked clean tracks len ol , pressing them against the wounds of
Mitch. He called Sissy with a gesture to fit .
- Hold it in place at is I say to take.
Sissy nodded and did as she commanded.
Before two minutes, Gwen returned to the room with a metal box, whose lid
was written "First Aid". She opened the locks and took a huge roll of gauze.
Cutting it into strips, he handed them over to am and .
By now, Roxy j I had the will water. She pulled the m the Sissy and
carefully wiped the blood that didn`t stop gushing. The express her remained
imut ble. Seemed interested, nothing more. N o showed no sign of p single, fear
or anger. Just wiped the child's injuries and will examine the area.
- I see three lish entry points. The neck ric e s O is one arra nh o. The other
two ... - It sam p the under Mitch's shoulder, ignoring the way he flinched at the
movement, and groped around. - And they crossed. What is good. N o we will have
to look for bullets.
She pressed the shoulder Mitch, who growled.
- The bullet hit the bone in trajet O laughed. This will hurt like hell when
you're healing.
She grabbed more gauze and again press the wound.
- Sissy. - Immediately, Sissy replaced Roxy and pressed:
- Gwen, what we have in ki t?

- To close the wounds? - She looked inside the kit without waiting for an
answer. - You may use your stapler.
Mitch growled again. Roxy patted the head his.
- The last thing we want is that he has to heal on top of that. S the hell to
take after. What else?
- Adhesives.
- Perfect. We will work with them.
- Why didn`t give points?
- Why didn`t know when they see the tir will power them. And also is mn
will want him to heal around them. Gwen, stays in place Sissy. Youre v there to
help me.
Sissy got up and left the front of Gwen. He looked at your hands them,
covered in blood, realizing that the shirt is also m was stained.
Mace grabbed his elbow and took her to the bedroom door. The last thing
Sissy saw were the tears will l down by Marissa's face before Mace will -la placed
in the small room su you.
- Talk to me.
She shrugged. The blood was drying in your hands and bra the them. At
that moment, I was sticky. I would soon be dry and ...
- Sissy. Tell me what happened.
- N O s est will see masters at the window, talking. Ent o I heard a
crackling, and he fell. - She closed her eyes as the souvenir recent to invade. - He
moved, Mace. In the last second, he moved, and didn`t have done that ...

The words died on her l will bios, and she had a vision Y our c is rebro
Mitch covering the lime white Ronnie. Sissy almost choked in the image.
- He is a n o s, Sissy. - Mace stroked her back. - And God knows it's more
dur the most.
- I know.
- Now and Smitty? Sissy blinked uncomprehendingly.
- What about him?
- Avis will need it.
- He will est j will in a avi o. They left before the sun in cer. Al is addition,
what he will do, al m is worrying and let youre crazy?
- Do you have reason o - Mace growled.
- Let Deix will it does out of it for now.
Ronnie pulled her by the shirt.
- I got clean clothes for you is.
- Thank you. - Sissy glanced at herself. - I need to clear me first.
But before they could escape to the bathroom, T is appeared at the door. The
bear almost had to duck to get through.
- N is so lost.
Sissy p to see Mace getting that express o. That was why most of the
team preferred to deal with Bobby Ray instead of with him. Mace had low toler
INSTANCE of s failures. Even those who didn`t could be avoided.
- Any sign of where they were?

Sissy knew that room on the third floor outside schoolboy lected specifically
for Mitch because of located ction, and its need for additional security without
trees you where someone is m could hide near the window, and no pr is dio
around. And he was surrounded by shapeshifters, then no one is o m could
penetrate there.
- N o. But we're still looking. - T is bent to the side, trying to look to the
room. - How is he?
- Vivo.
Brown eyes T is examined the bloodstains on Sissy clothing.
- All right.
- And now? - Mace asked. - What can we do for him?
Brendon came in ... Sissy had the impression what the Roxy carried away
... and said,
- I will lev it does for Filad it is lfia in avi the fam read. Sissy balan or
fit a.
- Youre didn`t can lev it does for you will l.
- Why didn`t?
- All that they want is dead will ol.
- But didn`t we will l, we are in Long Island, and even here he didn`t you're
safe.
- She has reason o. - Roxy came, wiping the blood from your hands them
with a towel. - He didn`t should go back to Filad is lfia. Not yet. At least didn`t at
is who is in top form.

- Where, then o Mace leaned against the back of the sofa will.
- The prote ction system s the witnesses would accept?
- Maybe.
- Forget the . N o'll let my son stuck with some humans in useful, as will
is still too weak to protect themselves. He'll be with my pack, if you have to go
back.
The patience is hard INSTANCE contained Brendon has run out, and he
stared Roxy, amazing Mace and Sissy, but didn`t Roxy.
- Look, I didn`t vo u will Deix it does vulner ble in the middle of Filad is lfia
with a bunch of f is meas off.
- N o can do a service worse than you is and that his father did.
Sissy let out of Lego. N o was in no mood for that. And your patience is
usual j NCIA will was meager.
- Stop, youre s two. - She didn`t raised his voice, nor was rude. At that
moment, she sounded like Bobby Ray or like his father. Still, they both stopped
and looked at her. - How long will he be ready to travel? - Asked Roxy.
- J will staked bleeding, and already you took care of the wounds. Gwen
will're cleaning now.
- Ready him, and join his stuff. He comes with me.
Brendon frowned.
- It goes with you is where?
- To home. - She looked at Ronnie, and her friend's eyes widened as she
realized what Sissy meant. - I will lev it does to Smithtown.

 The last thing Mitch remembered was ... to be over Sissy. Come to think
for a cent is simo second wow, that's good. After all clouded.
He looked around and saw Sissy sitting on the floor o, opposite to what it
was. It was the head low and bent legs, resting his elbows on his knees.
- Sissy?
She raised the head to and smiled, but he could see she was tired,
exhausted.
- Ol will - she said, and looked relieved.
- Ol will. - Mitch blinked and looked around again. This vam in a avi o.
The his brother o, judging by n vel luxury. Much better than a seat on a
scheduled flight.
- We're going home, right? - He asked, Worried pated with her.
Sissy didn`t should have come. And where was everyone? Something was
wrong, but he didn`t could not concentrate enough to figure out wha is.
- Yes honey. We're going home. Now, go back to sleep.
- Youre est you well?
The Sissy's smile widened, but he didn`t know the reason o.
-. Yes, Mitch I 'm fine.
- Oh good. - He eats or doze off, but returned to wake up. - But ...
- Shh ... - And she was good Stopped it does it is because Mitch forgot what
was going to say. - Sleep. Are you all right.
Something soft ro or on his forehead, and didn`t him to know better, I'd
swear that Sissy had just beij will it. He smiled as he walked back to erase.

- Loba evil. Trying to take advantage of me ... She laughed and whispered:
- It to-last.
- Cheeky - he shot back.
Mitch heard Sissy laugh again before sleeping time. The sound calmed him
and made him feel safe, as had long didn`t felt.

CHAPTER II

Mitch woke to the beat of a door and raised voices. He looked around to the
room where she was. In the soft morning light coming through the jane it, didn`t
recognized it. N o recognized nothing: neither smells nor sounds.
If the boys O 'Farrell had arrived at it is, I knew you'd be dead already. Guys
like those didn`t kept ref is us, unless they had a use for them. Al is addition, didn`t
have p esters of Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire. Maybe the Mighty
Chef o ...
Slowly, Mitch looked away from the p ster and spied the arre pain. P
esters racing and powerful cars of photos from magazines almost covered the
walls; Toy cars quedo were lined up in an abandoned desk; there were few books,
with the exce ction of some of mec single and restores ction cars. A stack of auto

magazines O ble nestled in a corner, and in another there was a santu a rio for the
NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt.
Mitch smiled, though boring. That had to be the Sissy Mae room. S O didn`t
know she was t of cars.
Still, she didn`t oo sent back to Filad is lfia, as he had asked. It was
something simple, but she did it your way - as always.
He tried to turn the head to O, and immediately regretted it because it hurt
too much.
N o was amazing. I could feel things healing within it. Bones joining without
any help except your metabolism accelerated and the last gift to him by Irish
ancestors.
As long as didn`t do anything stupid or take another shot, survive. Still ... his
wounds would hurt to hell for a few more days. He didn`t yearn was so so. Ent o,
could relax and let your body heal before worrying about ...
Mitch got up again, and repented again, to hear shouting and slamming
doors.
Concerned about Sissy, Mitch sat slowly and carefully, relying only on the
bra the left. Ent o, with another grunt, put his legs out of bed, took a deep
breath and stood up. He had to hold the head to conse Guir stay of p is. When the
wave of pain en will usea passed, Mitch looked around and smiled at his pistol
near the pillow.
Taking the gun, slowly it was at the gate is opened and went down the hall.
Growled when he saw a staircase leading downstairs, but was l you that the sounds
came, they were increasing.

Determined, Mitch went downstairs, supporting the shoulder on the wall.

Also is m had the gun in the left m, j will that the right was inutiliz ble.
N o was the best shot with his left, but could do enough damage to Sissy
escape, if necessary a rio.
Relieved to get to the bottom of the stairs, Mitch stopped at last step.
Ahead, there was another hallway. If turned to the left, I was in what looked like a
intimate room. Right in the living room. He assumed it was because it seemed to
be impec ble, while the other, or both. And if it was straight ahead, give the
kitchen.
And it was where Sissy was. Mitch had never seen t o furious. She was
pointing the finger at another man, Mitch didn`t recognize him, and he did the
same to her. The nica Deal sa that prevented espetassem those fingers on each
other was a second man who was between the two, trying to calm them will.
Exhausted, balan to walk the falls, Mitch sat on the steps. Fam read, he
thought. I knew from experi is NCIA pr O would put that s O the fam lia could let
someone is mt o crazy.
- N o think for a second, Jack Ray Smith, who can bring that to your fat ass
will c and tell me what I can or didn`t do!
The wolf had even large hips for a man.
- If I remember correctly, Sissy, this didn`t is more your pack. Youre s O est
you here as a guest.
- That didn`t is true - the other man said, pushing the sister the backward s
will. He looked so much like Smitty it was kind of weird. - Sissy is the fam lia,
and will always have its place here.

- Sissy is a slut, bringing a ... - He didn`t managed to finish their states ction,
as the O sia Smitty gave him a punch in the mouth. What it was good because
Mitch had to do this because pr O would put, since the other was being too rude.
- Exit - Wolf told Jack, with a deadly calm. - Get out now.
Mitch knew who would win a fight between the two. And by the way, is also
Jack knew m.
- That didn`t just - Jack warned, going to the door.
- V will. Run and tell Travis, as the baby is chor what youre is.
He left. If he had a tail, it would be between her legs. Once the door closed,
the wolf turned to Sister .
- Youre will're right, dear?
- Yes, I am.
The huge wolf open or Sissy, burying the head her on his chest.
- If it helps, I 'm glad youre be back. She laughed.
- J will is better than nothing ...
- Some time, you're going to have to talk to Travis. With Dad out ...
- Yeah, I know. - The head her rose suddenly fare Jando air. She looked at
Mitch, surprise. - Mitch? What the hell you're doing out of bed?
He didn`t really in the mood to shout the answer, then the expected Sissy
came before him, with the wolf logo will atr s it.
- I heard a fight - he explained. - I thought you were in trouble.
- And youre going to help? - She crossed her bra them. - Nor can be p is!
- I brought a gun.

- But am uses the right to shoot. - She took his gun and put it at the back of
you s short jeans. It was a short min century, and ca very well in it.
- Youre should have called me - she scolded.
- To Quality is, if you can never do what I say?
Sissy bent to fit to and stared.
- What do you mean by that?
- I told you to do something. A s O. To take me at is the Filad is lfia.
- N o what was said.
- Sissy ...
- Youre asked me to take her home. And that's what I did.
Mitch looked around again. It was a small but cozy house. M O ble
spending, abused for many years, but that had endured everything to be of good
quality. There were dozens of pictures, some with human c es, others only c es.
Tev is a giant occupied much of the opposite wall. The kitchen is also mn it was
very large. I had a f O rmica table with eight chairs around. The living unused was
beautiful, with a homemade touch. Ent o he remembered Sissy Room; that didn`t
was the fourth of an adult Sissy.
Taking a deep breath, Mitch realized two important odors: c es and fresh
air. Ent o, everything fell into place. Enca rando Sissy, he fired:
- I'm in Tennessee ?!
- Well, where I expected me to take him?
- At the avi is the Brendon, and the pilot would take me at is the Filad is
lfia. N o know why youre found it o t e di cult to understand!

Sissy locked jaw.

- Stop roar to me, Mitchell Shaw. I did what I thought best.
- If that's your best, I didn`t want to see the worst.
With m them into fists, Sissy retreated.
- Want to go to Filad is lfia, boss? The door is will there. - She pointed dire
ction in the living room door, but each room had a door. - V will forward.
- O thymus. I'll even.
- Oh great! - She turned back and returned to the kitchen.
Mitch got up, got to his feet it is for a second, and then the his legs gave
way.
Sammy Ray Smith looked at the percent of feline and ten, or perhaps one
hundred and fifteen kilos, naked in your arms them. That was one of the things O
Optimal he would have to report his wife later over dinner, as would make her
laugh into effect.
Looking tr s will, he called Sister ca ula.
She barely deigned to look.
- Ah, leave it to . What apodre to the stairs, I didn`t care.
Oh, God ... N o was nothing he hated more than Sissy being stubborn. She
didn`t showed that facet with freq ue INSTANCE, but when he did, it was insuport
ble!
As soon as he had heard that she was back, Sammy had come straight at it is
there, losing the movement of morning in the restaurant. But I knew that with
parents outside, Travis, Jack and Donnie would come air importun will -la. The

brothers ca ula irritated them by didn`t back ever. If someone is m wanted to

fight, she topava. If the person was rude, she responded in kind. Never look away,
not allowed to bake for to nothing.
Contrary to a rio de Sammy, who knew and accepted who he was, Sissy
never bent to the will of no one is m, n it to your pr O would put. It was an alpha
is at the bones, and that made it a problem for Travis, who wanted his wife to be
the pr o f xima is mea alpha, when he took over his father's post. Too bad Patty
Rose didn`t were nowhere near t strong as Sissy. And in the end, it all came
down to that. N on the the mere af is silica, although this help was the is the
will. Sissy didn`t retreated at is getting what he wanted, despite conseq EU stances.
- Why youre didn`t do something for the Garot to eat, enquan to l will I
take up? He must be hungry.
- What dies.
Sammy balan or fits to a sigh.
- Sissy, fa to some soup for the boy. Please.
She was p is in the middle of the kitchen, the bra crossed, one foot is
Descal the beating against the O lin oil. I was furious.
- It is going the id as a dead cat stink? The whole house is left empesteada,
and you're going to do with Dad.
Sissy rolled her eyes.
- He'll be complaining of a "cat stink". And I didn`t'll take the blame.
- All right, all right. - She dismissed. - Take the stupid l will up. I'll make a
soup or something.
- Thank you darling.

Sammy Mitch threw over his shoulder and carried him back to the second
floor. Come or enter Sissy room, but didn`t like the id is was a guy there. She
was his sister ca ula, after all. Ent o, down the hall and put him in bed the old
quarter of Bobby Ray.
After a moment, she gave him a slap on the forehead.
- Are you awake? - When didn`t received answer, knocked again, harder.
- Huh? What? - The golden eyes opened. - Smitty?
- N o insult me, son. - He crossed the bra them and stared at the cat. - My
name is Sammy Ray Smith, and I am the brother the oldest of Sissy. She will
take care of youre at it to improve. And I know how youre s, cats, are when est o
ill. Growl, they respond es the desagrad ble. But you didn`t want me to come
here start at the skin of his bones, be gentle with her. Treat it with respect and keep
those dirty paws off her. You got it, boss?
The Mitch's eyes narrowed.
- Are you sure you didn`t is Smitty? Sammy laughed.
- N o, n am. But it didn`t surprise me that he would say the same. J you
should have said, inclusive. Sissy will be here soon, with soup for you is.
- Soup? What am I? a child with flu?
- You know, that's what I was talking about. That didn`t is kind and
respectful. This is rude and desagrad ble. Be kind and respectful will do is it does
keep the skin that God gave him, instead of skin donor. He understood now, boss?
He knew that the cat wanted to answer and growl a little more, but it's also
realized that m didn`t was strong Enough to challenge you or daughter ca ula
Sammy Ray, the more the pr o prio.

- Yes - growled at last.

- Good. - Sammy took a blanket on the bed and p is Mitch covered from the
chest down. N o needed a feline walking naked near his sister zinha. - Enjoy the
soup.
Sammy went out and returned to the kitchen. Sissy was in the fog o,
stirring a pot full of noodles. Stupid cat! If I had been kind, she probably would
have made a homemade soup. That was something his brother fits the Udos
with ction exce the Bobby Ray, they had never understood. Sissy had the biggest
heart ction Sammy j will known. And she protected her. But one had a hair salon
will -la right, and Travis, Donnie and Jack had never done it. Let those jealous girls
talking Horror ble things on Sissy, and sometimes even is joined to them. It was
something Sammy didn`t tolerated for no one is m, main mind of his pr O would
put fam read. Alfa or didn`t.
- Chicken Miojo - said, entering the kitchen. - My favorite.
- Want some?
- N o. - He kissed her on the forehead. - I must go back to the restaurant.
- Right. Thank you for coming.
He was at is the door, and was leaving when the voice of Sissy stopped him.
- Qu bad this can get, Sammy? I mean, with the pack. And didn`t lightly
browned ap squid.
- Honey, they support it because youre is the fam read. But it didn`t come
alone, and Travis will try to use that against you is.
- O thymus. - She threw the soup spoon in the sink. - I'm at right now is you
l ...

- N on the go, didn`t. - He approached Sissy and am put it on his shoulder.

- Leave it to act first.
- And why would I do that?
- Because when all is in the air, you're going to say my father and elder
who was Travis who eats or . When it's time, you will be in your favor. - He
returned the spoon to sm hers. - Now feed that kid, before it begins to whimper.
Sissy got to his feet is at the door of her room, wondering where was Mitch.
Ent o remembered that Sammy had put on the bed, and there was no way he
would let a man in her bed.
Smiling, he continued down the hall, looking in every room. Mitch found
sleeping at Bobby Ray's room. If she was asleep or passed out, she didn`t know.
He had been floating between inconsci is NCIA and the vig lia since qu is am
and closed wounds. Roxy Sissy had warned that he could or didn`t pass the fever
that most meta m ORFOS had when seriously ill or injured. N o f it would cil, but
those who survived generally felt stronger and healthy ble than before.
And most importantly, she finished in twenty-four hours. Mit c hn had the
fever, which meant more time to heal completely.
- Hey, it the wind! Are you awake?
Frowning, Mitch looked at her. If didn`t oo knew, or was she didn`t m is
also a predator, Sissy probably didn`t would be around for someone with that
expression is m o.
- Keep looking at me like that, and I put a pillow over his face and end up
just about everything. - She lifted the tray with the soup and toast. - Want to eat, or
rather be staring at me?

- I'm sorry - he said, surprising her. - N o wanted to act like an asshole.

Sissy resisted the urge to say "but acted anyway," and spoke instead:
- Youre s O est will in pain. Once you're better, it will be that happy fool
ever.
She put the tray on ac fashion and helped Mitch to sit. Then he
straightened it over his legs.
- Can you eat with your m the left? - He asked when he saw that he was
just looking at the food.
- Of course. - But didn`t he took the spoon. T seemed tired ...
Glad no one is m be seeing, Sissy sat on the side of the bed, grabbed the
spoon and took some soup.
- I help you.
Mitch looked at the spoon, then asked:
- Without doing avi ozinho?
She suppressed a laugh. Even in the worst moments, he didn`t lost his good
humor.
- Open your mouth before you I d is reason to cry! Mitch obeyed, and Sissy
fed.
- Are you good?
Mitch nodded, though he seemed ready to fall asleep. Sissy rarely saw Mitch
naked, and now realized what am and and sister were talking about. He was too
thin; at least for your esp is cie. Compared to a human, Mitch was still huge, but
Sissy knew. Brendon turns walking around the hotel wearing only jeans, and the

boy was big. But Mitch had always been the most atl is tico of the two, and was to
be the sister of the size o, sen the greatest.
She would have to work at it while he was there. It does do is eat more.
Some deer, a wild boar, and he would be O thymus. Of course, that would be later.
At that moment, I had to make sure he got stronger. Never seen t weak before. T
o ... fr will gil. That didn`t was right. N o for your feline.
- Come on you, one more spoonful. He swallowed and said,
- Where are you everyone?
- You can wait.
Sissy tried to offer more soup, but he refused.
- Answer, Sissy.
- Everyone is will at home. And let me say, convince them is an o come
with us was one of the most dif ficult things I will already did. I had to be very
persuasive.
- I'm surprised you've accomplished. She laughed, offering one more
spoonful.
- Yeah, I m also is. I told Brendon that he had to stay in New York. I wanted
to give the impression OA whoever did it that youre was still there will,
recovering. If it sa iff they would make sure that youre didn`t will est l will. But
his m and was a little more will f cil to convince.
Mitch balan or fit a.
- That is because it must be up to something.
- Yeah, that's what I thought. I told her didn`t do anything that would make
him furious.

- Think you'll advance?

- N o, but didn`t can say I didn`t try. Anyway, she returned to Filad is lfia
with Gwen, and they're good. As Brendon.
- What if whoever did you find that I'm here?
- N o sn o registered a flight plan to the jet, and I left our cell phones with
Ronnie.
- We're out of cell?
- Do not worry. We have phone here in the bush, then o can take this its
ugly head. Some of them are at t is m bot ns!
- I did not say anything ...
- Not pre ci sava. Yankee her face said it all. But unalloyed gs for youre or
me. N o want anything being traced. No email is also m.
- And if you're need something Brendon or Ronnie?
- Not to worry. H will be other ways to solve this.
- Is it?
- It is. You know, when my great-grandfather found that the government
could tap phones, he had to invent another way to get past informs gs ahead
without the bastards know or understand what was being said. We keywords and a
process. It is quite complex. Ent o n Bre do will know that youre est will as well.
Sissy offered over a spoon, but Mitch didn`t opened his mouth, s O looked at
her.
- Which it was?
- What difference did the federal able to tap phones?

- Youre too asks questions to someone who is ill m conse gue keep your
eyes open. Come on you, another spoonful, and then o will be able to sleep.
He accepted the soup as he watched.
- And his pack? - He asked after swallowing.
- Are you in New York. They v taking care of Brendon and Marissa, then
on the worry about it.
Mitch smiled.
- Marissa knows?
- Of course not.
- I think she should be dealing well with it.
- Are you deceived, She ... - Sissy didn`t could take the mind Marissa's face,
streaked with tears l will. - She was devastated, Mitch.
- Look, Sissy, when you're mind for me, just for an O the friendship and the
confidence that construction hands.
- N on the need to believe. But I know what I saw, and I know that Ronnie
was almost crazy to have to calm Marissa. She was crying, but okay, didn`t
believe.
- I can not believe. But please for the try.
She put the empty plate on the tray and helped Mitch to bed.
- Sissy ...
She just fix the len ol and looked at him.
- What, dear?

- I know it didn`t should be f cil will for you is ... have to bring me here.
How big is the trouble that came to do this?
Sissy gave her more cheerful smile, the same as used with his father when
didn`t want him found out she had to expel a boy of your room, moments before
his father go. His m and had never believed the smile, but with his father always
worked. I never had used before with Mitch.
- No trouble, dear. Do not worry. - She took the tray and was going to the
door before leaving the smile disappear.
While holding the tray in one of the m and held the ma aneta the door
with the other, Mitch heard muttering:
- This should be as fake smile in the world, Sissy Mae.

Desiree MacDermot-Llewellyn watched his new pair cial will smell a tree. If
she lift the leg, I'm out. Wait, it was feline. That meant lifting the tail and ...
Desiree shook.
Still didn`t know how it had happened. Work had gone lhar as would every
Monday morning , and found that everything had changed. Absolutely everything.
Now I had a partner and was part of a new drive. In fact, such a unit j will
existed since most of the cops were Irish and made the ap patrols is. But it was new
to her.
I knew that there were things that Mace didn`t bothered to tell him. N o to be
hiding something, but he didn`t think about it. Some things didn`t occurred to her
husband.

Tell the department pol New York cia had a shifter unit seemed didn`t have
gone through fits his. The basis of them was in Brooklyn, this part she didn`t had
to complain, didn`t have to fight to get to Manhattan every day ... and had their pr
O selves patrolmen, detectives and SWAT team. All had been police officers in
other districts, and about ninety-five percent of them were metamor fos. Of all the
species is esp. But five percent were like her: humans who had a league ction co m
shapeshifters, making them safe.
For Desiree, this safety to was his son.
He was precious, too important to be put at risk.
But how did they know the import son INSTANCE for Desiree, felt they
could trust her to Proteg is them. When she had told Mace, he seemed divided
between him and wonder ction ction concerns. The cases that that unit could be
handled sometimes hazardous and safer other. But go there, even for a shifter, it
was something noteworthy. It was an important unit, and sil is ncio was a exi g is
INSTANCE.
And the first case it ... out the assassination attempt on Mitch. Which no one
is m more in the pol cia department knew.
- No one is m came by.
Desiree turned to face the new partner. His name was Ellie Souza, the Bronx
district. She was taking of lego, and very high. But it was the golden-blue eyes
who called attention ction. Mace of the gold seemed l liquid; the girl that were
much lighter, and gave Desiree a tio the sensation that didn`t want to Found will la night in a Dark Alley ro. I had heard that she was a jaguar, a result of m and
Indian with a Brazilian shifter father. She didn`t say much, so grateful Desiree but
had a ten d is INSTANCE the face.

What frightened her partner.

Desiree evaluated again the dist INSTANCE tree between you and Mitch
room.
- It must have been here. See dist INSTANCE.
Ellie didn`t answer, just turned and walked away. Desiree followed her,
annoyed. I wondered how other human partner Ellie had dealt with it. That drive at
least knew what the other was. Based on your ra a, he had an id is going to what
to expect. However, they would have had to put a wolf. She liked more than can
videos.
Suddenly, Ellie turned the head to one side and sniffed the air. It was as if
searching for the smell. Desiree remembered when hidden delights the house for c
es seeks FROG rarem.
Ap s hundred meters, Ellie stopped.
- Here. She was here. - He leaned against the tree and will sniffed. - Yeah,
right here.
- She?
- Definitely. - She climbed the tree will, sliding effortlessly the apparent
upward, disappearing among the branches. - Certainly, one is f m. And
menstruating.
Desiree raised her m them.
- Hey, there's some things didn`t fa o the quest ...
- Leone.
Shocked, in sil is ncio, Desiree watched Ellie will jump from tree. She
landed with Elegant INSTANCE and balan or fit a.

- Youre heard right.

- But didn`t can be ...
- I have the best nose in the department. She was a lioness. F is m. - I looked
at the hotel where Mitch had is the, the dist INSTANCE. - And he had a beautiful
sight, even for a shifter.
Ellie looked at Desiree and gave an affected smile.
- Who was that his friend angered, MacDermot?

Sissy looked at Mitch, apprehensive. He was sleeping too much. At least,

she hoped it was sleep because it seemed it was a faint. It was to have the
Monday morning, and except for a few trips to the bathroom and some soup she
had given him, he didn`t had moved one m century.
She was accustomed to fevers. His father had the more than once, and used
to recover for about twenty-four hours. During fever, he changed from human to
beast will see holiday times. Also is m delirious and had oh you scope to grab Janie
Mae.
But Mitch was out since Sunday, without fever and almost without moving.
Worried about to call om is physician city. It didn`t seem happy to have to
examine a cat, but always liked Sissy and tried to help. But even he didn`t know
what to do with a shifter without fever.
- Keep watching him - was what advised. - And tor the so didn`t die
asleep.
dropping of lego, Sissy tried didn`t get into p single. He felt t the O ...
As ag human entavam? No pack, no one is without m for help or to be together ...

She would give anything to that Ronnie was there. Someone is m that could tell
you for didn`t worry as Mitch would be fine.
But were still under sil is ncio obrigat O river.
She sighed at the memory of his brother o. I missed him. Bobby was the
rational part of the partnership, and she was mad that made all feared. It worked
very well. I wanted him to be there, but didn`t spoil their honeymoon. Jessie Ann
thought he had done it s O to spoil your momen to Bobby Ray. They have many
years to getting angry with each other, and Sissy didn`t want to come o t air
early.
Instead of being surrounded by his pack or is even at those boring c es, I
was trapped in Yukon Territory O hostile river with a sick cat and his brother the
oldest, Travis, less than one hundred and cinq enta quil meters it.
Travis and Sissy had never gotten along. He wanted everyone to submit, and
she didn`t accept it. Neither Bobby Ray. And he hated them both for that.
I was surprised he still didn`t have appeared, but knew was coming. Try to
do is -la lose patience is INSTANCE, I was sure. S O didn`t know s is could stop
him. With parents and Ronnie Lee out of town, didn`t had any reinforcing the or
pack for Proteg is -la.
And didn`t was only with his sister those who have to worry. Without the
prote ction the m and had to think of those who lived on the hill. No one is m
spoke them, or touched their names, unless it was absolutely necessary a rio. They
were howling the name of Sissy every night since his arrival. Were becoming more
insistent, the more ignorant.
For the first time, Sissy knew how it was complete mind alone, and hated it.
All right, didn`t was the case. N o O s was. Her aunts had spent with freq ue

INSTANCE to take a look. And each of them had said before leaving: "If you need
is s O call."
N o had told them about the so-called hill. To be honest, I was afraid of what
would. Those on the hill didn`t get along with sister s Lewis and Sissy didn`t
want to be res pons ble if something happened to s aunts. I loved them too. And
didn`t want to hear what your m and tell about it.
He frowned when he noticed that the wall on the head to Mitch was about
to fall. That was part of her room since she was twelve, and contained a list of
trips, with all the places he planned to visit since he was seven. He left there to
remember who had gone to most places. Helped her endure and am . And more
than once, after one of the be m ns of m and she looked at the list, had called
Ronnie Lee and asked something like, "J will wanted to know Sidney?". If you
didn`t know, I think that the woman was prop O located.
N o. It was better to take care of that wall, or Mitch would wake up more
hurt than when asleep.
Mitch opened his eyes, closed them and he opened them.
- It has a huge boobs in my face - announced.
- What ... Oh, stop it!
He didn`t know why Sissy was there, but wake up that way it was Thank
You ble.
Raising am the left, he touched one of them and got slapped.
- Stop j you with this, Mitchell Shaw! He smiled.
- Youre est you goose bumps.

Sissy pulled away, putting a wall on the floor o, and was quan Mitch
realized she was sitting on her waist, wearing only a low cut shorts and a shirt cut
from AC / DC. What the hell thing she was doing?
- What is your problem? - She asked.
- I had an experimental INSTANCE is near death, Sissy ... and I'm excited.
Uh ... we think we can ...
- N o, didn`t we can, and youre didn`t ag entava not eat alone, didn`t long
ago.
- It was all that soup. That cured me.
- Sure, sure ... and j will stop with these m them! - She slapped am his
again.
- Oh, what's that, Sissy ?! I almost died. N o want to help me?
- Youre didn`t died. And didn`t'll have sex with you is s O because almost
died.
- O thymus. Can I borrow your m o, then the ? - He asked, hope oso.
- N o!
- The mouth?
Crosses, was really excited! And hungry, and ... safe. It was so long that
didn`t feel well, almost didn`t recognized a tio the sensation. But being with Sissy
made him that way. Insurance.
- Mitchell!
- At least let me stick your face between her breasts. S O for five seconds ...
- N o fa me to hit youre.

She came out of his lap, and just staring at the tent he had left.
- But what is your problem?
He smiled, happy to see that their major areas you were working well.
- Apparently, no!
With a smile, suddenly Sissy took the len ol and stood, looking around.
- Hey!
- Well, well ... See s O what youre been hiding, Mr. Shaw!
He pulled the ol len back. It was one thing to be the predatory male, but
Sissy had turned the game as usual.
- Control your m them, Smith. N o'll let that turn me into your sex toy.
Sissy laughed.
- N o, for now, didn`t. She could have reason o.
- I'm hungry - he warned.
- You have more soup ...
- If I take more soup, I eat air to roar. You know how to hate it.
- Are you suggesting that want meat?
- N o, I'm saying I want meat. Feeding nte myself!
- I'll bring something.
- Actually ... - Mitch sat. - I'd rather get up.
- Are you sure?
He nodded.

- All right. - Sissy went around the room and picked up the bag he had
brought to the hotel. I should have brought along with it that way. - Want a
sweatshirt?
- Perfect.
She was at is the bed and took sweatpants and a shirt.
- Here.
- Thank you.
He waited for her sa iff, but Sissy was there.
- Yes?
- N o will need help to get dressed?
- N o. - He waved am the left so that it sa iff. I knew it was rid culo but
didn`t want her to see her t the weak and needy.
- J will can move the bra right?
- I'll manage. Go away.
- All right, suffer. - She was at is the door. - Let me know when you're ready
to descend. I'll help.
- I can alone.
- Right. But if it falls, I will Deix it does on the ground o to learn.
- Coisinha simp will tica ...
- I'll heat the food. It will take a while, then on the rush.
Mitch didn`t think she could hurry up, even if he wanted.

* * *
When he came downstairs, Sissy was taking fire the macaroni with cheese
that had readied the night before. V made will holiday meal gs in past three lish
days. N o could sleep well, and was afraid to sleep for very long per e veryone in
case something happened. Ent had done what no pre did when she was tense: had
cooked. I thought the relaxing activity, and was very good at it. When Mitch woke
up, she had met the two freezers with meal gs. What remains when they were away
would feed their parents for a couple of months.
The delay him to get ready gave her time to prepa rar the food and control
the area gs her body.
- That you're smelling good.
Sissy gave a startled jump before turning and help Mitch to sit. She touched
his forehead to see if she had a fever, but was cool.
- I'm all right, mam and ?
- N o is wise guy.
- At talks is equal to my hand and ... - Mitch sighed. - I'm worried about
her.
- She's good will, and know that youre also is m will est.
- You know?
- Yes. I called my Aunt Janette, who called my other aunt, sister s one of
my father ... he has six ... in Alabama; she called my uncle, one of the brothers of
my m and in North Carolina, who called ...
- Stop, please. I'm begging!
- I just was trying O ...

- I know, and please very much. I love you is so. But stop talking.
- Okay, fine. - Sissy was at is the fog o. - What do you drink? Milk, juice
or iced tea will?
- Ch will.
Sissy nodded while serving the macaroni with cheese to Mitch. The
refrigerator, took the salad and had prepared a pot of tea will. When he turned,
Mitch still faced the dish before him. N o seemed more concerned with am and
looked disgusted.
- Is there a problem?
- You have ham.
- Yeah, and ?
- I hate ham in my macaroni o.
- Youre not experienced!
- N o need experience to know that didn`t like.
Sissy rolled his eyes.
- Youre like ham?
- Yes.
- And macaroni with cheese?
- I like.
- So o, what's wrong?
- N o like them both together. - He stared at his plate as a child to look at a
by ction br O collision.

Sissy was at the table is where the salad and put the jar with the is,
- Prove it.
- I do not want.
- Mitchell Shaw, try right now! If didn`t gos tar, fine. But it will prove.
Clearly without gra a, Mitch picked up his fork and shifted the plate before
picking up slightly.
- Mitchell ... Shaw.
- Okay, okay ... - With a grimace of disgust, he experienced a by ction of
macaroni o. Come or chew as she watched him, waiting. And as in most cases,
it didn`t disappoint.
- Wow! - He said, after swallowing. - That you're ... you're ...
- Very good?
- Will Fant stico!
She smiled.
- I know. This is the best macaroni and cheese o, with or without ham,
which you're going to eat in life. Ent o enjoy because I didn`t cook ever. Now,
eat!
That's what he did.
While Sissy watched, Mitch ended all the macaroni o, the salad and the
juice jar, as if making s is glasses that didn`t eat.
Spying the dishes and empty bowls Mitch frowned.
- Is there anything else? Sissy blinked in surprise.
- Huh?

- I'm still hungry.

- This is normal for you is?
- No no. - He tore a piece of melted cheese from the pan and threw it in his
mouth. - I usually eat much before getting stressed out like that. But you're going
to notice when my appetite back.
Sissy calculated the money that everyone had delivered him before sa rem,
and what little he had in his pr O would put portfolio. Depending on how long stay
there, might have to get their old-fashioned food: ca walk.

Travis is closed with the cap O the old Ford pickup that his cousin had left
there the night before and looked terrified Jack. If he didn`t were the fam read,
Travis would give him some slaps. But it was, and Travis didn`t could allow fra
ness of it all did seem soft. Ent o, kept Jack O pr ximo himself, and used it to do
things he and Donnie didn`t wanted to do. As, for example, will mand it does to
find out what Sissy was up. But I knew, even before envi will so, the what would
happen.
- So Sissy hit youre again. Whatever I fa to?
- She didn`t hit.
It was true. It was the brother ozinho, Sammy. Along with Bobby Ray and
their father, Sammy was the only one who could control Sissy. But Sammy had
modesty to call things by name. Or, in the case Sissy a slut "tramp". was the only
thing that made him lose his patience is NCIA with Donnie and Jack. But I had
never tried it with Travis. He liked to have two legs running.

- I thought you would have gone j l will by now - cried Jack. - Telling her
get away.
- Really? - Travis flipped through the team's play book. They had training
that afternoon, and he wanted to be prepared. The O pr ximo game would be one of
the most important.
- She brought the cat - Jack insisted.
- A sick cat. If I place will -la out now, I'll look like a son of m and . Wait
until it is to be at least walking.
- If he was barely even, Sissy would have taken him to the hospital in
Waynesburg - explained Donnie went out from under the car.
Travis and Donnie were s O ness in the main workshop of Smithtown. It was
a good job, and Donnie didn`t irritated Travis very freq ue INSTANCE, so he
thanked.
- We must act with cunning, boys. - Travis looked at the brothers them. She's will alone. N o has Smitty, not Dad, not those wolves it. And Sammy didn`t
is a threat real. It s O the old Sissy and a sick cat.
Travis turned away from the fam read and looked out of the workshop, to
the quiet and clean streets of their city.
- It will be a pleasure to take down that bitch.

Mitch opened his eyes, realizing in an instant he was sitting on the couch in
the living room will intimate. As Sissy said:

- Mam en lets no one is m, an being special visits, use the other room.
But Dad didn`t like many people, then never received such visits. Therefore, the
room was never used.
The strange thing is that he could have sworn I was sitting in the kitchen,
while atr s will. He looked at Sissy, who shrugged.
- Youre fell asleep at the kitchen table - she explained.
- Oh ... I'm sorry.
- N on the need to apologize. I'm glad it was sleep even this time en Y our
inconsci is full INSTANCE. While it is dif ficult to differentiate ; youre just faints
where are you ...
To illustrate, she dropped the body on you couch, eyes closed.
- So o youre awake. - She opened her eyes and sat up slightly. - So o
suddenly goes off again. - She dropped again, making him smile.
Sissy showed al ngua and grimaced, which made him laugh even more.
Smiling, she turned up the volume of tev is, tuned to a sports channel so he could
see the results of recent racing stock car.
- You know - come or he, after O s a moment - I wanted to thank you for
all that, Sissy.
- The macaroni o was good, didn`t?
- N o'm talking about that. - Though he was God, yes. - I'm talking about
everything. Bring me at here, take care of me. Thanks for everything. And I'm
sorry for being t boring.
- I understand, but thank you for apologizing.

They were in sil is ncio and pe it first time, it was desconfort ble. Mitch
hated.
- Want to watch a DVD? - Sissy asked finally, sounding desperate. - My
parents m t is a good cole ction.
- Sissy, fine. She frowned.
- All right, what is qu?
- Youre ... in love with mim.Tudo well. I know how to be mesmerizing have
someone like me is m walking through your home ... naked. And deliciously vulner
ble. - Mitch raised his eyebrows. - At the same is lacking in his bed.
- Mitchell ...
- N o, didn`t. N o need to deny your feelings. N o, where n O s both know
the truth.
- Finished?
- For now. - He smiled. - cheeky.
Finally, Sissy laughed, and the time spent desconfort ble.
- But what is your problem?
- I was spoiled by my mother and .
- I'm seeing. Want to see a movie or didn`t?
- What's wrong with you?
- Probably all.
She got to his feet and it was at the bookshelf is full of DVDs and old VHS
tapes. N o there were many books. Mitch felt that Smith didn`t were readers ass

duos. Sissy was at the tip of p is s to see what was on top of the shelves, and Mitch
had to contain a grunt.
That she had beautiful legs! The kind he could easily imagine mind around
his neck the ...
- Deliverance?
- It's not funny. Sissy laughed.
- Youre s, Yankees ... It s O mention that movie, and youre sj will get
scared.
- With good reason.
- How about Die Hard?
- Perfect. Many ns explosion and gunfire.
- And a German es Cute es for me.
She picked up the DVD in the box and was at the television is the Large,
opposite the sofa will. N o t was the immense as that of Brendon, nor had flat
screen, but Mitch felt more comfortable ble with the modest achievements of
Smith than with the wealth of his father.
The film or eat, and Sissy sat at the far end of the couch will.
Mitch cleared his throat and looked at her.
- Which it was?
- Come to you c.
- I'm right here.
Mitch sighed.

- I'll have to hit the couch and will say "here, bow-wow"? You will make me
come down t low?
- But I'm fine ...
- I'm sick! - he howled, for walk Sissy to slip quickly to sit beside him.
- Happy now?
He straightened up, leaning against it.
- Enough!
- Sissy - Mitch murmured against her ear, they are the up and down her
back. - Sissy, wake up.
She woke up. I did not even know had fallen asleep. Or how long did that
was draped over Mitch Shaw enquan to sleep. His face was on his chest, where he
could hear the beating heart ction. The m them were on his shoulders, and the
rest of the body, she squeezed between Mitch thighs.
When he realized this, he was startled, but the bra it closed around her,
holding her in place.
- Are you all right, it's me. - He kept his voice low, qua a whisper. And she
knew it was him, that was the problem.
- What ... what time the s ?
- Afternoon.
Mitch held over for , and she noticed that the lights were all out, causing
everything was pitch black. C is us, how long it had to be asleep?
- Youre heard?
- I heard the qu is?

But she was clearly listening now. That persistent howl, demanding, through
it s the darkness o.
- Sissy ...
- Are you all right, Mitch.
Landing the m them on his chest, he pushed him at it he was sitting.
- What is it?
- Fam e Thing read.
- Your brothers?
Well she want it. They were f will ficult. F will ficult and foolish, and she
didn`t had problems in dealing with them, even when made her furious.
- N o, n the o them. I must go. - She stood up, but Mitch took her m o.
- Can I go with you is.
As didn`t had noticed before? He was t sweet ... She had never met nobody
is m like this before. In his fam read, it is sweet meant being weak.
- I'll be fine. - And if he follow him, didn`t. There were some parts of the
city where cats could never go. N o, if they wanted to stay alive. - And didn`t will
take me.
- All right. - He smiled. - I'll be here when you get back ... hungry.
She let the bra them.
- Again?
She fed earlier ... The food that should have lasted days was fading in one
night.
- Yes, again. Ent on the delay, are you well?

- Are you well. I'll try to see if I bring something bloody. - Sissy handed the
weapon was taken from him.
- If you are alive and bleeding, would be O thymus.
Sissy left home and went to the forests around the house. He became as he
walked, taking their clothes before leaving racing.
I never thought it would come to this, but he missed the parents. N o realized
how they protected the rest of the fam read , s for being there.
Sissy ran. It was protected in the territory O river of parents, knowing that if
he continued very west, would cross from Smithtown to Barronsv ille, Terri O
river feline commanded by lionesses bunch Barron, who is at the same Sissy
avoided when didn`t was with their wolves. If it were much to the south, cross to
the Yukon Territory O river bears. They were more reception tive than gall
Videos, but Sissy had a reputation ction there that didn`t made her a welcome visit.
Too far north, on the other hand, would enter a Territory O river where few
dared go. Neither the lionesses, or bears, not even wolves. And much of Smith also
is m in going for you there. No one is m. And with reason o.
Sissy knew as soon as he crossed into Yukon Territory O river. I could feel
the bones, soul. The power coming from the ground under your feet is s. A place of
power. A power that didn`t was good or bad. In fact, the problem was how that
power was achieved.
They were waiting about fifteen hundred metros al is m the border. Sissy
stopped three meters lish them. And didn`t if Became mou, is at the first did.
- Gertie - she greeted.
- Sissy Mae.

The other three lish turned, but didn`t approached.

- So o, what youre s want? Gertie shrugged.
- S O wants masters v is -la. We think it would take a ch will cold. - She
gestured dire ction the whence he came. - She would love to see youre.
- Forget the O, I didn`t go to will l.
- Sissy, youre know she didn`t him to hurt. Sissy didn`t was worried about
getting hurt.
Everyone called him "Grandpa O Smith," but she should be thia-greatgrandfather O Sissy. No one is m was sure, but said she was a teenager during the
Civil War. N o remained on either side, j will he considered it as "human issue" but
God forgive the poor guy who ca e iff in Yukon Territory O Smith River.
At the father of Sissy feared, en had quite the scare. Old as the hills at will
like a snake, Grandpa O Smith was a powerful witch and led by fear. N o liked
men, and took Smith girls had power of their m es for cri will -Las personally.
And so the aunts Sissy said, Grandpa O Smith wanted Sissy, and had come down
from his precious hill to fetch will -la. Outside Janie Mae who departed. And with
that, he assured its place as f m is alpha and eternal enmity of an old grumpy.
- Look, s O'm here for a few days. Then I'm going away again.
- We know what your hand and talked about o s n, but she didn`t know
anything. Youre f is a mea Smith is pure blood. A Nos. We will always have a
place for you is ... between n o s.
Sissy is or to stay im vel O en the run. Even when the el approached,
didn`t stepped back and kept his voice calm.
- I didn`t belong him to this place. Youre s know it. She knows that.

- This is your m and talking, Sissy Mae. Youre know this is your place.
- I know this conversation is over.
- That bitch turned youre ...
Sissy did not know who would do this, is to look at your claw tear the
Gertie's face. The blood splattered on the trunk of a tree will, and the other
growled, stretching his prey.
- Call my m and that again, Gertie, and will be the last thing you will do
in life!
And then Gertie was with it, his forehead against Sissy, the bare fangs.
- Remember who you are is it, little girl. Remember where you came from.
Keeping trapped under control and collecting claws, Sissy said, calmly:
- Get away from me.
She could see Gertie deciding what he would do, but a low howl coming
from a little further up the hill made the four that looked dire ction.
Gertie turned away, staring Sissy.
- we still talk again.
They left, but without giving it away. At least didn`t at is out of sight.

Mitch had finished with the most arm of cereals will notice that river before
Sissy returned.
He found her sitting on the balan the balcony, her legs folded under her,
staring at the darkness o ahead.

Sitting beside her, did balan him go forward and backward will s, slightly.
I had never been in a balan the balcony before, and was loving it.
- Youre est you well?
- Yes.
- Sissy ... - Mitch sighed. - I'm much stronger now, and I'm leaving
tomorrow .
- N o is youre the problem, Mitch. - She stared at him. - The fact that I'm
sitting here thinking ... didn`t is on youre. But you must promise me one thing.
- Anything.
- N on the climb that hill. - She pointed to the strange hill with a scary forest
around, which had run. - N ov l will for you, ever. And if something calls you, as
a late uncle, or if you're think you saw a c ozinho he loved when he was ten, you
know ... ignore.
- I'll remember that.
Sissy didn`t had to worry about. There were some places where a guy knew,
instinctively, that didn`t should go laughed. That hill was one of them.
Mitch COC or chin.
- So o, we can get back to me now?
Sissy smiled, relieved that he didn`t ask.
- Yes we can.
- The fact that I'm here didn`t you're helping at all with his fam read, didn`t
it?
- Despite its shocking appetite ... youre is the least of my problems at home.

- So o, what's the problem?

When she just shrugged, Mitch patted her leg.
- I am a thymus O listener. - When Sissy just stared at him, he added: - I
have very expressive eyes. Women love that sort of thing.
- In fact, didn`t is nothing - she said finally. - It's just disappointing when
you're realize that nothing has changed or will change. As my grandfather used to
say ... "the other day, and the same crap."
- N o can let your fam read afet will -la so.
- I will f cil fa l air. Su to read the e fam loves.
Mitch co or fit a.
- Who are you talking about?
- From you. His m and loves. Brendon praises youre all the time. And his
sister s never tried mat will it.
- Wait. - Mitch raised his finger. - Go back a pou quinho. Who praises me?
- Brendon. - Sissy turned in balan O for the jailed on felony charge will it. Youre know that, didn`t you?
Whatever Mitch p to do was balan the air the head. His brother?
Praising him?
- How can didn`t know?
- What does it say?
Now annoyed with Mitch, she eats or list with your fingers:
- What youre was a football star in high school, who graduated with honors
from high school and college, he received quotes gs or pr is mios, l know you, your

departamentozinho pol cia. And as he is proud to youre and that youre is his
sister, bl will -bl will -bl will. His chest is puffed at it, and Brendon j will is
enormous.
- Wow ...
- Youre didn`t know it?
- N o. - Supporting his chin on m it and the elbow in the back balan him,
he asked: - And Marissa?
- N o we will ask the imposs vel, boss.
- It is true.
- So o, while his sister the walk by the speaking well of you is and
solutions walk over his body ca , I'm tied to my class.
- Is t the bad?
- Once, I told Travis he was considering apply for a receptionist job at a
Writers O river law. He said, "But they didn`t often hire s O girls for this?".
Mitch clenched his teeth. Travis did not know yet, but already you hated
him.
- Luckily, I already will know as I am incr ble . Sen o, would have been
devastated.
- And it's O has ci me.
- Ci me? From what?
- From you.
- You think?

- Of course! For didn`t matter what he fa to when he wears his shorts and
one of her bra s, t never get good at it as youre.

***
Sissy woke up almost at one o'clock ... alone.
They had gone to intimate room and spent much of the night watching is
tev and laughing. The last thing she remembered was having landed the head
to Mitch's shoulder, as they discussed the benef ness to make a commercial
advertising the service the safety of the Bobby Ray and Mace, and how two
Marines would be furious if both suggest that.
And now woken up in the same sofa will, but without Mitch. Maybe he had
gone back to bed. It was what she expected, j will he needed sleep. Sleeping
actually didn`t get incons aware from blood loss.
Sitting, Sissy rubbed his face and espregui or, at is to hear crackles will see
rivers that have left concerned about their bones. Ent your est wizard rumbled,
and she forgot everything else. Away the blanket, crawled at is the kitchen and
opened the refrigerator, determined to get to the food before Mitch had a chance to
end it all ... and froze. N o was nothing there, al m is an old Chinese food box that
parents had forgotten. It was at is the arm will rivers, where the scene was
repeated: empty.
Feline ego e sta!
Irritated, Sissy went upstairs stomping, hope the ACORD it does with the
noise. R took a bath will pido and went to the bedroom to change. Once dressed
jean shorts, one bra and a T-shirt, was at is the fourth of Bobby Ray and opened
the door, but the bed was empty.

Sissy is returned at the middle of the hallway.

- Mitch?
N o was no answer, then the she came down the stairs, cha send for him.
When he entered the kitchen, he noticed a folded sheet of paper on his desk that
read:
I'm hungry. I was at is the town to get food. We need supplies, woman!
Youre didn`t you're watching right to me.
As a signature, a smiley face.
She felt his eye twitch.
He is out at the city? Alone? But what the problem was that guy?
Sissy ran out of the house, going at full speed for the city. Forgot all about
the rental car, j will qu and was walking at is most places around.
It never occurred to him that he would go alone, but should have
remembered that ns le never go out to ca air if they can help it. Le ns were loose;
were accustomed to be taken care of by f is meas a lifetime. As Mitch didn`t had a
bunch of lionesses, he spent much of their time in restaurants or begging for food
at home.
Sissy went through the woods beside the river will contrary to what had
gone the night before. It went through backyards will see rivers relatives, waving
to whom shouted hails gs, while ignoring the little deer that jumped in his path.
Your est wizard rumbled, but she went ahead at is to reach the main road to the
city. And as she took a Found o in a Camaro passenger door 78, the lan impact
walk her back to the forest.
In just moments, she was happy to be a shapeshifter.

He heard the tires sing when the driver hit the brakes. A few seconds later, a
door opened, and a grumpy female voice called:
- Ol will?
After Sissy heard the wolf trying farej will -la.
- I am here - said, as he stood, at is if p r on the m and knees.
The steps came and she heard:
- Hey, sorry. Youre will est ... wait a ! Sissy Mae?
Sissy lifted the head to O, and saw a worn jeans and a cami torn arrow on a
powerful body. But when he saw the face on that body, he smiled.
- Damn! Dee-Ann?
- S O myself to kill my cousin. Mam and will have a fit ...
Laughing, Sissy grabbed am what Dee-Ann was extended and p is. She
was his cousin-brother : its m and giving her, was sister Janie Mae, and her
father, the infamous uncle Eggie; was the brother the oldest of Bubba Smith. It
was three years older lish Sissy, but you already had a lot of fun in the old days.
- N o get carried away, youre didn`t you're in my will.
- Damn ... and I will j had it all planned.
The two open plow, and Sissy let out a sigh of al vio.
- Dee, didn`t know youre was home.
- Oh, I got you a few days ago. I'm out of time now, Sissy - she added
quietly.
Sissy contained the will to question the material and said:
- Well, honey, youre lost s wedding is ass.

- I heard. I'm sorry I lost ...

- N o worry, Bobby Ray understands.
Together, they returned to the road, and Sissy stared at the Camaro still
attached.
- you are you have the courage to walk the in my car?
- Oh no! - Dee balan or fit a. - Not come. I won this car in a fair contest.
Al is addition, I get much better it is than you got.
- I still say that race was just didn`t.
- I'll ignor will -la. - D and E said.
Sissy laughed, open walk cousin again.
- Take me at it is the city - asked, while giving back to the passenger seat.
- All right. But you owe me is repairing where his huge back kneaded my
door.
- If you're didn`t been running both ...
Hitting the m the on the roof, Dee looked at her.
- Youre didn`t speak it! These words didn`t sa Ram your mouth!
Sissy made her express the most innocent.
- N o know what youre talking will est ...

The gar o nete put another Hambu rguer and chips in front of him and
stepped back.
- Anything else?

With his mouth full, Mitch raised his empty glass.

- More milk? - She understood. - J will bring.
Taking v rivers will empty plates, the mo O gave a sigh and balan or fits
before you leave.
Mitch didn`t know why everyone was looking at him. I was hungry,
dammit! That didn`t oo became one tio the Aberra.
While attacking her s thymus is Mighty Burger S mithtown, the sound of a
modified exhaust caught his attention the tio, and the most gorgeous red Camaro
he will j had seen went outside the restaurant. The tires squealed, and the car came
back, almost plunging the job right in front.
N o should have been surprised when Sissy came out laughing at the
passenger seat, or when the gar onete served their milk and said: - Oh, my God ...
The comes trouble.
- The est will youre! - Sissy said, entering the restaurant with another
woman soon will atr s.
Mitch had to admit he liked the way she came in places. All men were
immediately aware of their presence a. Sissy, why is m, didn`t noticed or
pretended didn`t notice. He didn`t know which one, but I loved the way she looked
didn`t turn, which irritated all men.
She pulled up a chair and threw herself.
- The pr O xima time to leave home, why didn`t paints a target on his chest?
- What does this mean? - He asked, eating.
- I'm trying Proteg is it does, and youre out by the ?

- Youre didn`t you're given the s my needs - he said. - And I have enormous
and constant needs.
- Youre is a glut o! - She snapped, taking a potato on his plate. Mitch
growled, but she made it didn`t heard. - And Respond o.
- N o like sharing.
- For ag one. - Taking more potatoes, and risking your m in the process,
Sissy motioned for the woman who had come with her, and was now sitting in the
chair in front of Mitch. - This is my cousin, Dee-Ann. D and E-Ann, this is Mitch
Shaw. He is feline, and the cross of my life.
- Ol will - mumbled Dee-Ann, looking around.
Mitch acknowledged that look right away. He used t it does is, at is learning
to be more subtle. That was a cautious and suspicious woman. with a single
look, likely mind would be able to remember every sa of the site, who would be
capable of causing problems there, and what would be your escape plan if someone
is m undesired ble inside.
Her hair was darker than the Sissy, and much shorter. His eyes were bright
yellow, and his body was his cousin seem almost mignon. She was obviously
strong, and bore scars that didn`t came from claws or fangs.
- She has just returned from abroad - Sissy said, and her eyes explained
everything.
Sissy turned in his chair and looked over the balc o.
- Sammy! Sammy Ray!
Mitch's eyes closed when he heard the screams, and when looked at DeeAnn, she seemed not to have noticed.

- Wha is? - Sammy Ray yelled back.

Apparently, the fam e s O read all had that voice volume.
- I want Hambu full rguer! - She looked at her cousin. - What you want?
- The same.
Sissy nodded and looked back at the balc o.
- Two! - he shouted. Turning to the table, he looked at Mitch. - What it was?
After a long time, Mitch seemed to have finished eating and leaned back in
his chair, satisfied.
- Oh, that was good!
- And maybe some food left over for the rest of the city - said Sissy
immediately.
- Someone is m will're grumpy - he replied, feigning a snarl and claw. Want a saucer of milk dessert, honey?
Thick, son of a ...
- Thank you - he told gar onete as he picked up the account. He glanced
and passed the paper to Sissy.
She looked at it and back to him with a sobran Eyelash up.
- And youre will're giving me this because ...
- N o have money, bochechinha.
Her eye twitched. I hated it when he called her that way.
- Well, Mitchy ... - and she liked the way the name irritated him - who said to
eat half of the food supply my sister o?

- Your sister o is the owner?

- It is.
Mitch snorted, crumpled the bill and grinned at Sissy, playing the ball in the
head hers.
- So o, o s n both know youre didn`t have to pay to eat here, if you ask him
that. V will now l will, and Standing O with that.
Growling and lan walk rough-looking eyes, Sissy ten tou get the knife that
was on the table, but Dee withdrew before.
- God is c u! - Dee had caught the ball and levan State, taking it at is the balc
o.
- Will make his cousin pay? N o. Mitch would pay.
- Made - Dee warned, returning to the table. - See? N o t was the diff e cil.
You need a ride, Sissy?
Sissy smiled, and Dee stepped tr s will.
- Which it was?
- Well ... It literally ended the food from home. You think you can take me
at is the Mega Store?
- You have a car,
- I have a car rental. N o a beautiful Camaro, youre won unfairly. - The car
didn`t out the first of Sissy, but she loved him as well as everyone else. - Dee,
didn`t me fa to whimper.
- Please do not. You know that sound annoys me. Sissy held am o.
- The keys, please.

- Youre didn`t will direct.

- Of course I will. Delivered.
Dee sighed and gave the keys to Sissy. With a smile, the press rose.
- Let will l.
- I'll go ahead - said Mitch, and Dee balan or fit a.
- N o know if it's a good ...
- He asked first - Sissy interrupted. - The cat goes in front.
Mitch came to the lime ada and looked around Smithtown was a beautiful
restaurant. Homemade, clean. The kind of place where people left the front door
unlocked during the day. Despite all can Videos staring at him, he still felt quite
comfortable ble there. Although he had checked all Hambu rgueres to make sure
that no one is m had spit on them.
Opening the passenger door, he waited at Dee-Ann is sitting, then entered.
The car had been very well care of and made Mitch practically ronronasse to sink
into the bank.
- Buckle up - Sissy ordered.
He almost snorted desd is m. Will be that she thought would scare you it
does reaching one hundred and thirty per hour? One of the reasons which had
joined the pol cia was to have made friends with those who stopped often.
Finally, one of them said he didn`t oo arrest for exceeding the speed ... again ... if it
has passed into the booth they would ride in the profession fair ns high school that
week. It seemed a way f cil will to escape, then o it out. And shortly after Mitch
spend twenties, j will was a cop.

Thank You for you -la, Mitch put the belt, laughing to himself when he
noticed that they were the type used by runners NASCAR.
- Closed?
- Yes. - He smiled at her. - Step on. Sissy smiled back.
- If that's what you want you are ...
Mitch didn`t was sure, but he thought he heard Dee-Ann mumble something
before Sissy Mae starting the engine and it will purr increase. Nothing sounded
better than a powerful engine.
Slowly, Sissy turned away from the lime ada. He looked at both sides of
the street and made a sharp turn in U.
In the middle of the street with the engine growling, Sissy stared at him, and
Mitch held his gaze. When the time is extended al m than at is the shapeshifters felt
normal, he smiled; the smile he used to Irrit will -la, which usually meant that she
eats bake throwing things in it. This time, however, it s O smiled back. At it he
had to admit it was a sor killer laughter. Like the brother o, but Sissy did things
with Mitch that Smitty would never do.
- Hold on - she said, and he wondered if she used that tone of voice in bed.
Mitch snorted, trying to keep from thinking about it - again.
- Sure, sure ... Show at is where you're going, bochech ... Santa m and
God!
Sissy had never known the extent Y our vocabulary will Mitch at river is
engaging the march in C the maro and step on the gas.
When she made those; sharp turns in the road of deer, reaching more than
one hundred and forty per hour, he said all the Japanese Words ns by which a

father would slap. When she entr or a rift with his cousins ... at least she ti nha
almost sure they were her cousins ... in a pickup truck, he punched the dashboard
and gritted his teeth. When she reached two hundred and ten in Alameda Duckbill,
he thought he heard a roar and the occasional groan. But when it reached two
hundred and sixty made that turn in Via Waterman, I knew he would have to pay
for another panel to Dee. Those claw marks would devalue ve century.
With gravel and dust flying, she turned, parking in the spot next to the store.
A grocery store that catered shifters, securely fitted between the Yukon Territory O
rivers canine, feline and hyenas. The so-called Mega Store was one of the few
"free zones" of the region o, which is different esp species could live peacefully.
Sissy turned off the ignition and threw the keys to press, sitting atr s will, in
sil is ncio.
- Boy, that was good! N o one can do that kind of stuff in New York. - She
stroked the knee Mitch ado rando the way he flinched. - Come on, Mitch. Let's
straighten out some supplies for that your le hunger o.
Biting ol will bio and enjoying the lies ction much more than you should,
Sissy got out and went to the s large glass doors of the store,
When he noticed that Mitch didn`t would move, Dee-Ann went to the other
side of the back seat and out the driver's side. Stooping, he looked inside and
frowned at how the cat was p will read. And a little green, is also m.
- There's a quiet place will atr s garden right there if you need a few minutes.
Without looking at her, Mitch nodded.
- Thank you.

- N o so. - She got up and closed the door to ca rro, careful didn`t hit, j will
that didn`t want the guy threw up in his car.
Dee-Ann found Sissy inside the store. Was l will tears in his eyes, and Dee
knew she was laughing at the poor Mitch.
- Youre is evil ...
- It was he who asked!
- At this time, the poor will're spewing l will atr will s garden, and youre ...
- Ah! Can I borrow your phone? I want to take a picture. - Sissy tried to take
the phone out of material, but Dee caught her bra oen the left.
- N o in the mood for it.
- Youre didn`t know have fun.
Dee did not bother to argue. He knew his cousin was distracted and without
the in the ction. It could be ego e sta, slightly obsessive, and a troublemaker of the
highest degree. But above all, Sissy was a good person, and Dee was sorry she
didn`t be af is mea alpha of the pack of Smithtown. However, I didn`t know that
Sissy had moved to New York at the time is come home. His life in the past five
years didn`t gave him much chance to learn about the lives of relatives.
And Sissy had reason o. She didn`t know how to have fun, didn`t more.
Her recent life didn`t had been fun, and she had come the one ulcer to prove it.
But I knew that his cousin was lying slightly as informed Mitch she had been the
"outside". He probably understood that Dee had been in Iraq, like most of the
Marines who trained. But didn`t was true. He had been sent to other tasks, and had
never been in any pa s will rabe, let alone fought in one. When was dismissed
with honors, had expected to return to Tennessee would be the best thing.

However, despite the joy of seeing their parents and the Yukon Territory O river
that loved running and ca air, j will was getting bored.
But Sissy had a way of bringing out the fun side either.
Mitch was at is women, facing only Sissy. Its color was returning to normal,
and he will j was playing a gum in your mouth.
Sissy smiled at him.
- How's will, Mitchy?
The golden eyes narrowed, and Sissy, to the astonishment of Dee, tried to
escape. But Mitch took it, turned and suddenly had the m in the short her waist.
- Mitchell Shaw, didn`t it ... ah!
But j will er the afternoon. He will already had tucked am the inside of the
shorts and pulled her panties up, burying it deep.
The voice of Sissy reached a tone that material didn`t ima Ginou be able,
annoying each shifter in place before Mitch walk away, rubbing m them, and
take a stand.
- All right, girls. We buy food.
Trying to maintain a m e nimo of dignity, Sissy threw her hair three will fit
was held high to the bathroom, see if he could rescue her panties.
And that's when Dee realized that never met a man brave enough to do that
with Sissy Mae Smith. Al m is the entertainment factor, she found it quite
interesting.
Mitch pushed the cart slowly by balc the meat. I loved shopping for
shapeshifters. N on the O had the largest cuts of meat, as also is m the most
interesting varieties.

Um ... impala. It made one's ass is that didn`t eat impala.

Picking up a frozen rib package, put the car rinho and continued. Was
looking at the shank zebra when he noticed that someone is mo looked with the
same expression o and turned, finding three is s very beautiful lionesses p is atr
will s it.
- Ol will - is the tr s said in un ssono.
Mitch smiled.
- Ol will.
- I am Paula Jo Barron. These s s the my sister, Lucy and Karen Jane.
- Ol will, I'm Mitch Shaw.
- New in town?
- I am.
- Any chance you want to stay?
- Well ...
Mitch watched the Mudan es in the express them when they looked to
your left. He followed the dire ction the look and found the eyes are FAST of a
wolf. Another male. Who were they all? How many were there, anyway?
- What it was?
- Sissy est will with you is?
Mitch wanted to expose the prey.
- Why do you ask me?
- S O will mean ol.

Ent o he stood there, saying nothing. Smitty did it to sometimes. And the
Reed boys. They were facing, for no reason. It was annoying.
- Well, she didn`t you're here right now.
- It will're with their parents, as always?
- Youre going away now, and I didn`t going to hurt you it. The wolf nodded.
- Fair enough. Tell her that Lou had a "hi".
He went slowly, and Mitch balan or fit a. What was that?
Ent o m is heard someone coughing quietly and looked at the three lish
pairs of golden eyes will observ it.
- Yes?
All blinked in surprise, but before Mitch could guess why, another car hit
her.
Sissy Mae growled, pulling away to go back to knock on his cart.
- If you think you will pay for zebra meat, gone mad!
- Is impala. I even caught zebra yet. And you will pay, yes. And who the hell
is Lou?
- Who? And why do you think will pay for your stuff?
- Because I want to.
- I want world peace, en o have youre around. But do not always get
everything you want.
He rolled his eyes.
- I'll pay you later, his whiny.

- We ca air deer in the backyard - Sissy said, exasperated.

- Ca air? I? - He put the m the hip. - Your job is to bring the food at is
me. Why didn`t understand it yet?
- Can I give you a sandu e che fist. - She p so fist under his nose. - It's my
specialty. You want?
S O to Irrit will -la, and why she wanted, Mitch spent al ngua on the fingers
of Sissy.
- Yuck! - It dried quickly am o in style. - Youre is disgusting!
- Your work is a s O: meet all my desires and needs. - He looked at the
lionesses who still assis tiam everything. - Say what role her. And how she should
love every second of taking care of me.
Sissy looked at the lionesses.
- Paula Jo.
- Sissy Mae. Having fun?
- N o! - She turned her back on Mitch, mimicking his pose, with m the
hips. - N o I'm having fun. As youre s support them?
The lioness shrugged and admitted:
- It is sperm. We support a lot to achieve them.
- I could call an expert to Harvest is it does and it does after expulsion will
of my house, as you would lish.
Mitch sniffed, wiping a l will grima feigned.
- That was cruel. Youre hurt me deeply.
- N o, i hate deeply. It's different.

Moving r will pido, Mitch grabbed her by the waist and threw her into the
carriage, then he pushed.
- This is the ride for you c! - He yelled, laughing.
Smiling, he turned to the lionesses, who were still jailed on felony charge
will it.
- We're friends - he explained.
Mitch shoved the bra at the shelf is the bottom of potato chips, made a
small U and dragged the cart. Then did the same with some biscuits.
He lifted his nose, sniffing the air, then looked at tr s will.
- Ol you, Dee.
- Ol will.
- Filling the cart?
- Uh-huh.
She skirted Mitch and looked at the contents the stand. When he crossed
the look with him, I didn`t say anything.
- Which it was?
- Nothing.
Mitch went ahead with Dee at his side.
- Dee, can I ask a question?
- Of course.
- Who is Lou?
- Lou? Conhe the a lot of Lous. You're going to have to be more spec get.

- It is a wolf and was asking for Sissy h at about ten minutes.

- Oh, that Lou. Yes, I conhe the . He is Smithtown.
- What does he want with Sissy?
- What every man in Smithtown want with it. - Dee stopped next to candy
and took a milk chocolate bar. No am is ALMONDS without caramel, simple. He
had the impression that the talk much about it.
- And what would that be?
- Fuck her.
Mitch was surprised, didn`t expect a reply t o direct. Even Sissy. And
didn`t like it one bit this straight answer.
- S O that?
She bit her chocolate and chewed. He expected her to pay, because, after all,
he was still a police officer.
- And Marc will -la.
- For what?
- It is Sissy Mae. An alpha in nature. And direct descendant of the Smi t h.
Al is addition, j will hear she's crazy in bed.
- All right, already will arrive. You can stop.
- It was you who is asked. . .
- Yes, because I'm an idiot. Thanks for reminding me.
For the first time, Dee smiled. N on the the left most beautiful, but at least
took one look s is eternal river.
- You are welcome.

- How much? - Sissy asked, when the cashier said the pre total.
Mitch nudged her shoulder.
- Pay logo. I'm getting hungry. Sick, Sissy looked at him.
- Again? Youre ate h will one hour. - At-speed ity, the subject would end all
Smithtown food.
And lev will -la to mis is laughing.
- Nearly two actually. And youre didn`t will direct this time. Return the keys
to Dee-Ann.
- N o tell me what ...
- Now. Or I'll pull your panties again. - And she knew he meant the river is.
Growling, handed the card the cr is said of m and cash. Would be should
a fortune for her, but didn`t could not risk using pr O prio cart o.
- I hate you.
- How can you hate this face?
- F will cil, will f cyl.
- But I'm ador ble ...
- Youre is psycho O tico, that's what!
Feeling bad about the cost of that purchase s food O, Sissy signed for as Dee
watched all the food packers were guarding.
- N o'll get shove all in the Camaro.

Sissy didn`t was surprised. They had filled three lish carri bours with all the
food they bought. Also is mn knew if I could keep everything in house and m;
it s O had two freezers.
- Sissy can go back after it while youre takes purchases and me.
- Or - Counterbalance s Sissy - I can mat will it does right here and let
your body decomposing attract hyenas, while n o s returned home and enjoyed a
meal ction tranq ila in my parents' house.
Mitch thought about it for a moment.
- N o, I think didn`t liked this plan.
- So o, shut up.
It was hard work, but finally managed to put all purchases, plus three is s in
the car. But Sissy ended up driving because Mitch didn`t fit in three bank will s
with the bags, and she refused to go in three bank s will, since it would seem weak.
N o was f cil will be an alpha. Mitch suggested he could drive, but the materials
just laughed at the offer.
However, if she spent ninety per hour, Mitch eats ava to roar, which tired
and r the will pido ... and your ears sens ble .
Once arrived at her parents' house, the two spend more ram an hour trying to
find a way to save everything. Sure, Mitch didn`t was of great help.
- I'm too hungry to think - said, and ended up sitting on the couch will of her
parents and eating a huge bowl of cereal with milk.
- now in training is s ... One, two ... three lish!
The raw hit the door freezer and got zip will -la.
Sissy let out of Lego.

- We did it!
- You know, in two days you're going to need more food pa ra it.
- N o want to talk about it. Back to the kitchen.
- Want to stay a little longer?
- N o I, promised mam and would be back for dinner.
- Come tomorrow , if you want.
- All right. - Dee went to the door. - And remember to be careful.
- N o take forever?
- More care - she repeated, before closing the door. Sissy balan or fit a.
- She can not speak clearly.
Mitch wiped his gun and checked the magazine.
- Youre brought more muni ction?
Sissy came from the kitchen, wiping m them in a dish towel. He didn`t
know what she was cooking, but the smell was wonderful!
- What?
He lifted the comb.
- More muni ction? Or is it?
- It was all that I brought from New York.
- It is not much.
- I know that.
They stared at each other for v will rivers seconds. Finally, Mitch said:
- Thanks for your e n level of care ction.

- N o is smaller than its whining.

- N o'm whining, I'm concerned about our safety a.
Sissy held a part of the dish towel in c o s short and crossed the room. He
pushed a rack with a variety of bibel if embellishments that Mitch had the trend
is NCIA to break, so never held anything like this at home.
She didn`t removed the shelf wall, s O pulled. That's when Mitch saw that
there was a false wall will atr s. She brushed the wall, revealing a safe. He knew
the brand, very good. Sissy entered a password and pulled the ma aneta. He
opened the door, and Mitch let out of Lego.
- Caramba!
- That's the the mam of things and - she warned, stepping back so he had
a vision Y our hidden arsenal there. - You can use everything but the knives. N o
stir on her knives. I made a dent in one when I was twelve, and she ended up with
my ass. And as she likes you is if spoil anything, I who will suffer.
When Mitch just sat, looking, Sissy motioned approaching.
- Come c will. I'll show you what it has. Then show you the O t Y our Dad.
He nodded slowly.
- Youre s may have it legally?
- The ca a is a way of life around here.
Mitch stretched am o to the safe with eight shelves and took a semiautomatic will tica Tech Nine.
- And what, exactly, youre s ca am with this, Miss. Smith?

- Anything that didn`t should be in our Territory O river. And Mitch knew
she didn`t was referring to deer.
Sissy didn`t knew that food would be Mitch t the fun, an being, of
course, by the expense. He practically purred all the time while eating. All she
served made him smile.
It did wonders for Sissy's ego, leading to forget the money spent. T was the
rare cooking in recent times that j will didn`t remember how good someone is
m apre hplc his effort the .
Obviously, it was he who did the lou a. Mitch tried to fight, but when she
promised meat zebra for the next day, he had been quiet and had set to work. When
she returned to the kitchen an hour later, the place was shining.
Now, with a beer can in m o, Sissy sat on the balan the balcony, using
your favorite baseball shirt and enjoying the late afternoon. It was that kind of
night that she missed in New York; although worship energy will l, m is also liked
sil is ncio, to hear the crickets and the birds will p.
While combing wet hair, the howls come plow. A wolf released the first in
some corner dis tant in Smithtown, and that spread throughout the city. Smiling,
Sissy leaned the head for the three will howled with others. I loved that sound, its
meaning, power ...
- Shut up, hell! I'm trying to sleep!
She closed her eyes when the howling stopped suddenly. God would hear
about what is at his death ...
Sighing, he went into the bedroom and closed the door. When finished
combing, she flipped through an old magazine about cars. View all notes gs made
for her and Ronnie Lee made her smile. They chose their dream cars and marked

the shares they planned to change one day. That is the time, like vam their cars as
fond of his men, big, powerful and evil.
However, Mitch didn`t was bad. Never prop O located at least.
Whoa, where did that come from? I was thinking of Mitch and he liked not
only men at the same time? What was wrong with her? And since when eat ara
asking questions to yourself?
A knock on the door brought her back to the present.
- What is it, Mitchell?
Mitch opened the door and stood there, standing is beautiful. He was
wearing only a lime the sweatshirt, very low on the hip, provocative. Damn, she
didn`t was no saint!
- Um ... sexy, sexy ... - she growled, before noticing.
- Youre treat me like a shameless!
- But you it is one shameless. He smiled.
- It's true - admitted.
- N o can sleep, didn`t it?
- I tried.
- It was the howling?
- N o, s O that was annoying.
- Over here, it's constant, then is the best get used to.
- O thymus.
Sissy bent his legs, wrapping them with the bra .

- You had some nightmare?

- N o as it used to have. Before, I did not sleep. I think I'm much better, j
will to stop the be returning to the old h will Bitos.
- Your appetite will j est will O thymus.
- Are you, didn`t it?
Mitch entered the room, looking at all the photos and toy cars.
- Youre sleep tonight?
- Uh ... yeah, I slept. - He looked through is the long c e s golden aids in
which she had never noticed. Oh, Lord, help me!
- But I think it was because of you.
- My ?! - N o be convinced.
- It is. I think it was your snoring. It calms us, and all that baba reminded me
of a waterfall.
Sissy grabbed a pillow and hit in the head his.
- Bastard!
Mitch laughed, she liked the fact that despite having gone through hell, and
been for ado to stay in a strange city where he was hated, he still loved to laugh.
- And then o, youre will have a di river that I can read? - He teased. - With
hist O spicy holiday of young Sissy Mae discovering their sexuality?
- A diary? Near my m and ? I thought you had is more in the ction. My
father didn`t oa calls "great detective" for nothing. Keep a di a rio here at home
with my deepest, darkest secrets would be foolish not size.
She sam p o under the bed and pulled out a photo album will.

- But I have some pictures of Ronnie Lee and I biqu of e ni. - Sissy was
more to the side, inviting him to sit there.
Mitch pulled his gun first, then jumped on the bed as a child to . Once
settled down with his back against the headboard and legs straight, Sissy will put
the album on his lap.
She opened the hood and spent a few pages p will, but Mitch prevented it
from proceeding. I was looking at a picture of her with eight and Bobby Ray to
December
- Wow! Jess had reason o, Sissy. The head his was huge! She grimaced.
- I know. It took a while until the body grow enough to keep up. Join the
Navy helped a lot. The head never decreased, but the gra O God, the body rose!
Mitch eats or turn the pages will p. He smiled at a picture of her with about
eleven. I was the top of the biqu e ni and jean shorts, and showed the finger to ac
mere.
- Dee took this. She was in the school photography club.
- Your m j will viewed this photo? She laughed.
- Ah, yes. J will tore it seven or eight times, but Dee has a negative and a
dark room.
After a few more pages will p. Mitch stopped at a picture of her with Ronnie
Lee and Katie, a cousin of North Carolina. The three lish used biqu ni e and tr s
Tigers were vis ble in the background, watching them.
- How many years had you is this?
- Sixteen.
- Wow, this is poca will j ...

- J will this is the time, the qu is?

Mitch didn`t answer, preferring to ask another question.
- Who s the cats mutts?
- Some guys know that when I was f is holiday in Smithville. J will was at
will is there?
- N o. But already you heard, they say it is fun.
- If you like to fight bears, tigers and hyenas for its zebra dinner, it will fant
stico. I love, but time does didn`t you'll l.
- True, they t is m l seals for you? Sissy shrugged.
- It is. - She lowered her voice. - But s O during the winter. S o for polar
bears. They sit around a salt lake and hope that the seals come close.
- Youre has moral constraint tio s about it, apparently.
- My fangs at least can run fairly.
Mitch turned a few more pages will p.
- Why are the photos of this piece est o cut in half?
- Oh, that ... Mitch laughed.
- Ex boyfriend?
- It is. My first boyfriend. In fact, the unique. The men I've been with since
then on the can be called so.
- Ended badly?
- Something like this. - She yawned and rubbed his forehead. - And you? He
had a girlfriend at sixteen?

- Yes, a wolf. I'm kind of a In the United gs shifter world. I accept whoever
comes.
- A wolf is? I fa the youre remember it?
- N o. - Mitch spent a few more pages will p. - She was very kind. - Sissy
punched his shoulder. - Ouch! And that was why?
- Are you saying I didn`t'm nice? Mitch laughed.
- N o ... What I meant was: youre didn`t reminds me of the mo O, and she
was very kind. N on what youre didn`t remember the mo to because she was very
kind.
- It better be so! - Sissy rested her chin on her knees bent. - What happened
to her?
- The mo the dumped me by a tiger with a Mustang.
- That I can say I've never done, let a guy because of a car. But already I got
shot because of a car.
- That didn`t surprise me. - He looked around. - Youre has a penchant for
fast cars.
- Oh, I have. Ronnie Lee and I will costum we will remont them. But that
was a long time ago will.
- Youre s were good?
- Yeah. - She watched for a moment, considering something. -. I will lev it
does to see one tomorrow Are you in the house of my brother o, Sammy.
She didn`t trust the other to save something t o impose tant to her.
- I would love to. Never enj the cars.

- O thymus, it will after ca morning air.

- Youre mean after youre going ca morning air, didn`t it?
- Go together. We'll take a boar for coffee is going to be fun.
- N o sounds like fun. It looks like I'll have to work for my tio the meal.
That's not fair! - Mitch put am over her shoulder and made a express the
suffering. - D o i ...
- It will hurt more if didn`t eat air to move, boss. Al is addition, the subs
heat will be good for your recovers ction.
- Youre didn`t you're taking care of me right.
- I put a pillow on your face while youre sleeping?
- Uh ... didn`t.
- I threw something heavy and lethal in youre?
- N o.
- So o cared, yes.
He flipped through a little more, but Sissy could see that Mitch was
struggling to stay awake. Good. The more sleep, better would be.
Sissy took the album will m his.
- We will see the rest tomorrow .
- Some photo of nude? Maybe youre, Ronnie Lee and some O leo?
- V will dreaming.
- A man can have the hope , Sissy Mae. If it's all that's left ...

She laughed at the phrase dram will tica and wondered if he'd ever noticed
that you had sprawled on her bed.
Sissy looked at the bed. For her, it served perfectly, j will to a man the size
of a le o, didn`t seem con fort ble. Resigned to sleep in another room, eat or to
rise, but Mitch grabbed her by the m o.
- N ov will - he muttered, falling asleep.
- Mitch, Mitch ... If I stay, you're going to fall hopelessly in me, like so
many others.
- Youre one who has to worry - he muttered. - J will you're stuck in my er O
optical network lux laughed. Might as well stop resisting the gat here.
Smiling, Sissy lay beside him, open walk him around the waist.
- V will dreaming kitten.
- Yes I will. And in my dreams, I also have p m levels.
Sissy laughed, and Mitch eats or snore. N o was nothing assus puter, or
annoying, s o proof that he had fallen asleep.
Sleeping, he held the bra her at her waist, squeezing it. Even if Sissy
wanted to go out, didn`t would like.
But didn`t care. There were far worse ways to spend the night.
Mitch woke up feeling O thymus. His for the Voltan was the fast, eop
customary single with which woke didn`t emerged.
Of course, this must have some relation ction with the fact his face was
buried between two large and perfect breasts.

Opening one eye, he realized he was entangled with Sissy Mae Smith. J will
dreamed of that kind of thing, but usually in the dream, they were both naked and
covered in marks.
But that was the kind of awakening that he deemed excellent.
N o could not believe how well slept. He will already had accepted poss ble
death, because at least it would be a des tire as it had long didn`t could sleep
soundly.
But didn`t out necessary river will die to have this relaxation. Instead, s O
will need to surrender to Sissy care. Nor was t the diff e cil as well as trust her to
Proteg is it. If Sissy knew he was in trouble, I would be ready to fight in seconds,
and the same could be said about him.
That partnership was more important to him kiwi and sex, because it was
this camaraderie that kept him alive.
Suddenly, Sissy moaned in her sleep, and her bra the tightened around
Mitch, the m if the stuffing in her hair.
Uh-oh ... It didn`t was good. There will s at a rio contrary, it was very good.
It was a del cia t is -la around him like that. But didn`t take advantage of it was
correct in his sleep.
Right? Right?
- Oh, my God ... - she moaned, her leg around the cin him ture tightening.
Instantly Mitch body eats or react to ere ction morning taking propose gs giant
tescas. - That - she said. - Oh, yeah ... Clyde ...
Mitch froze. Clyde? Who the hell was Clyde? And why Sissy rays was
moaning for him in his sleep? It would be the ex-boyfriend she had mentioned the

night before? Will be that she still loved the guy? More importantly, why he cared
about that?
She laughed.
- Clyde ...
That was enough.
- Hey! - He shook her. - Hey!
Sissy opened his eyes, and Mitch is or to ignore as they were beautiful in
the light of morning .
- Huh?
- Who is Clyde?
- Clyde? - She frowned. - What?
- Youre moaned that name in his sleep. Who is he?
- Ah, yes. - She looked away. - Clyde.
Wait, what did that mean? That express it was that on her face? What was
she hiding?
- That's right, Clyde! Who is he?
Sissy balan or fit to and continued an the jailed on felony charge will it.
- No one is m.
- Sissy ...
- Come on you, youre promised we'd ca air. - She pulled the bra the
Mitch and stood up. - I s O brush my teeth, and j will go.
- Answer, creature! - But she will already had sneaked out of the room.

Once you get to control a bit, Mitch threw away the covers and went into the
bathroom. Sissy was in front of the sink, brushing your teeth. She smiled with a
mouthful of pasta before handing him a brush.
- And this talk about such Clyde didn`t just - he said, before eating air
brushing your teeth is also m.
Sissy merely sighed, spat the folder in the sink, rinsed her mouth and left.
Mitch j will was tired of so much escape.
Five seconds later, it will already was back in form of wolf: the dark brown,
with small white and golden spots. Contrary to the will of the river Mitch's eyes or
the brother her, Bobby Ray, the Sissy were only yellow when turned.
As he finished rinsing the mouth, it already will beat him on the legs with
the legs, rushing it. Then eats or bark incessantly.
Angry, and fun, Mitch turned up and roared at her. Sissy stepped back, balan
or tail and ran.
Mitch followed closely.
It took a while and to be honest, Mitch didn`t was the best ca ador with
who it will already worked. Finally, tracked the boar and cornered him. It was a
large animal, mature and evil. When he noticed that he was cornered, he dropped
the head to and attacked.
Sissy was to the side when the animal advances or dire ction it, and back,
grabbed his leg, dragging him backwards will s.
Mitch ent oo took the side, trying to will it into place tio the position to
break her spine. But the animal kicked, hitting Sissy's jaw. Unwilling to have a

broken bone, she released him, and the boar got rid of Mitch. Fired by the small
hill in the dire ction of the lake.
The two were atr s will, and Mitch j will had caught the bug again when
Sissy approached. He was dragging the boar back so she could help when you
water the lake splashed everywhere and she stepped back.
Ralph. She left uecera completely Ralph!
How could this have happened? Who forgot a three crocodile is s meters
living in their parents' backyard? Maybe it was because he lived on the lake for a
long time.
It had been a cousin without the ction that had brought him when he was a
cute crocodilozinho, but when he had been greater than the shoebox in which he
lived, the idiot had thrown the poor in the lake.
When Ralph came to a meter and a half, the fam lia discussed the
possibility of getting rid of it, but in the end, no one is m dared. The father thought
at is good because it would keep the undesired ble away from the lake. They even
liked Ralph, until it is double in size, and the whole region o near the lake turn
your Terri O unique river.
This meant that everyone had to keep dist INSTANCE. If Ralph caught
their prey, they sought other prey. This was the reason that the predators ble and
rational did.
Apparently, Mitchell didn`t if inclu to each other.
When Sissy wiped her eyes, she noted Mitch playing tug of war with the
crocodile. Barked in warning, but he seemed determined an o give up the boar.

She barked more, hitting the legs against the side of Mitch's body. He just
buried further huge paws on the floor oe engaged even more fiercely the fray.
Will be that he was crazy? It has been infiltrated led him al m is the reason
the ? And she was talking to herself again?
- Sissy Mae!
She looked at three will see p Dee-Ann is about three lish meters dist
INSTANCE, with their clothes in m them.
- Youre have to ... - And the she saw what Mitch was doing. - Oh my!
Sissy barked all the time, approaching the material. When she turned back,
dressed up in the clothes her cousin had brought the bark became a constant
grumbling.
- D will to believe? I think the guy was crazy. Who is crazy to play with a
crocodile? No one is m on your e ju perfect zo! - She tucked her short jeans before
putting the shirt. - I risk everything to save his skin, and now I have to go back to
the brother the oldest and say that the wings bell didn`t oo killed, it was a
crocodile. How am I going to explain this? And why youre est you here, anyway?
Dee didn`t replied, still mesmerized by Mitch and Ralph.
- Dee-Ann!
- Do not yell. I came for you is. - She sighed. - They want to see is -la in the
city.
Sissy took a deep breath. Now? His brother wanted v is -la now? He
thought for a moment about it. The unfortunate had chosen the perfect time. To
take off scene with Mitch unable to walk, the whole town would turn against him,

but espe rando at is that the cat could play with a crocodile, the whole city is the
escort at the sa of.
Cretin!
- And this time, youre have visitors waiting for her at home.
Sissy Mitch looked away, staring at her cousin.
- I have?
Mitch clutching the boar, who had died already will there was a time, but the
damn crocodile didn`t oo let go.
And since when there were crocodiles in that area will? J will attending a
document rivers will on them, and had never heard of anything like it.
But a tio investigate would have to wait because the Doom o n ado let
go!
With mand bull eats walk to tire, Mitch reajus tou, but the animal took
advantage of it and retreated located ction. Mitch tried to grab the prey, but the
damn j will had disappeared into the lake. Mitch roared ... sometimes. Now I was
hungry, tired, and covered by the boar blood.
Hated ca air their pr O would put food!
Growling, he turned, turning to Sissy's house. N o was id is going to where
she had gone, but it was better if it had some food waiting for him, or he would be
more than a little grumpy.
But Mitch felt his anger reaches a new level n as he approached the house
and saw them. There were about eight, and all held flowers or candy boxes.
What the hell ...?

He didn`t bother to turn; instead, went ahead at is to reach the queue ... a
row! ... that was at the house is the porch steps.
And one she was amazing those wolves? N o! Sissy was beautiful and wet
with water will the lake, with short shorts and a shirt curtinha, while receiving gifts
and smile.
Will be that didn`t understand that at is that he was, all his attention ction
should just focus on it? Sure, they were just friends, and it was prov ble to continue
like that. But until it's your turn to Filad lfia is hoped that the focus of Sissy was
only him.
Mitch knew didn`t was being reason ble, but didn`t care. Putting up atr will
Sissy's, and picking up a beautiful angle to look at her ass, faced the wolves had
come sought will -la. They stared back, none of them moving from.
Ent o he roared. Some of them jumped, others continued to look at him.
Sissy turned to Mitch.
- Ah, j will just play tug-of-war with Ralph?
Now the wolves seemed slightly worried. But he didn`t id is made of who
would be Ralph. To make this clear, bent to fit the O, and Sissy balan or hers.
- Ralph. The crocodile for whom youre refused to give that boar.
He grunted impatiently.
- Well, anyway, I'm busy, as you can see. So, get out.
She was casting? To him, instead of to can e Videos? And okay?
No afford to be passed over in favor of some c es secu rando flowers,
Mitch grabbed her shorts and pulled her in dire ction the entrance.

- Hey, crazy?
He ignored her and kept pulling.
- That's rude, you know? Youre will're being rude! But Mitch didn`t care
am nima.
Sissy let him take her into the house because he knew that if he tried to
escape, probably tear her shorts, and she didn`t really in the mood for it.
Al is m's more, it was fun.
Dee then entered and closed the door, while Sissy estapeava the muzzle at
Mitch is it to drop.
Gesturing to the men outside, Dee said:
- What O optimal id is going to mention Ralph.
That had been a t maneuver will tica. Sissy didn`t want to have to worry
about someone is m eats walk one trouble with Mitch when she was away. At
least, didn`t he is at being in full for the again.
- But youre really need to go at is the city, Sissy.
- Okay okay. But I am full of blood, then it is better to take a shower first.
When he was op is the first step, one m huge hit against the wall, and bra
strong blo queou the passage. She looked at Mitch, now human, ensang entado
and totally naked. Wow!
- For didn`t?
- And my coffee is the morning ?
- So o youre lost prey for Ralph, huh?
- Youre so they named Ralph?

- I wanted the call will ssemos of Quality is, for example? Croco
MacCrockinson?
- I'm hungry - he repeated.
- Dee ... Honey, youre could prepare something for the king of the jungle the
breakfast here, j will he seems incapable of it?
- Yes. - Mitch leaned forward, his mouth next to Sissy's ear. - She cooks t
well as youre?
- N o - she replied softly. - But at least didn`t have to worry about being
replaced by another. Now ... youre might alienate that horses member of my way?
Mitch pulled the bra it, and Sissy eats or rise.
- Wait ... that was supposed to be an insult?
Sissy had reason o, Dee didn`t was t Y our good cook as she was. N o was
bad, but Sissy was much better.
Bathed and wearing a lime the jeans, T et is nis, Sissy trotted down the
stairs. Mitch took bacon from the plate, almost attacked her bra it.
Dee gave her a paper towel.
- You want, I see you with youre?
- N o, fine.
- Are you sure? I know how things can get between you and Travis is.
- What you're going? - Mitch asked.
- Nothing you need to worry that it is up to o le huge.
- Sissy ...
- Bye, I didn`t linger. - And there went out the back door.

- I hate it when she does that.

Dee laughed ep s dirty pans in the sink.
Before she could turn on the tap, Mitch asked:
- You have more eggs? Dee looked tr s will.
- I just did a d Zia of scrambled eggs!
- Is that a "yes" or "didn`t"?

CHAPTER III

Sissy entered the old school and was overwhelmed by lem the White .
The col is gio is also m was the site of meetings of the local elders. In
some cities, his tio the composition inclu e av will holiday esp species is: c es,
cats, bears and hyenas at it. But didn`t in Smithtown: den tro its borders, there were
only can e Videos and some antisocial bears living near the caves. Bears who lives
in Smithtown vam were big and too bad to be caused, especially polar, so the
wolves left them alone. The pol tica of the city, however, was con duced by
wolves, and it was they who Sissy would have to face. His esp is cie.
The only problem now was that his parents didn`t were, which made it to
the strongest there.

Sissy was at is the living sic m, where the elder awaited them. His sister
them and their companions is also m will were there, along with some of his
cousins and some wolves who decided didn`t follow her to New York.
All but Sammy and his wife ... Interesting. Sissy wondered if he even knew
about that meeting o.
- It's good to see is -la at home, Sissy Mae - his uncle Sirras said. - It's good
to be home. - Except in times like this.
- Too bad he didn`t have come alone - Travis said quietly.
Al m is calm when speaking, it is also m had huge legs and a head the
biggest yet. But contrary to the will of B river bby Ray, Travis body never
developed enough to balance the set.
Travis's wife, Patty Rose, came forward and open or Sissy.
- A s you're is you, dear? All right? - He asked her, in her tone more
"sincere".
- I'm O optimum, Patty Rose - Sissy answered with voice who said "I know
youre is a fake, but let's pretend. " - Thank you for asking.
- So o, what you're going to do, Sissy Mae?
She focused on Travis.
- With relation tio oa qu is?
- He needs to go. - The sister rarely bothered to make detours. It was
direct, and demanded direct answers.
- I can not do that. I promised fam read him that he would be safe here.

- He didn`t have the PR O would put esp is cie? A bunch o s it? - Jack Ray
demanded, looking at p single. - And that sister rich, didn`t could Proteg is it?
Ignoring Jack, as usual, Sissy came to Travis.
- They could have killed me is also m, Travis. I was there.
- So o, maybe youre should choose better friends you spend your time,
sister zinha.
- Travis Ray. - Patty chided gently, as if Sissy would believe that the tio
stages. The wolf hated her ever since. - Let's keep in amig ble.
- So o, you want us to go away? - Sissy shot. - Is that what you're saying?
- Youre didn`t need to go. This is your home. And always will be.
- Right.
- But didn`t is the house of the feline. So it goes. Sissy shut the m them
into fists.
- If it is, I'm going to also m.
And his brother knew it was true. Did she ever send Mitch away alone.
- O thymus, ent ov will.
- You bastard, will put me out of my house?
- I do not. Youre're leaving will own free will. I s O sent the cat away. And
that's exactly what they'll tell Dad when he comes back from holiday is f.
Furious and exasperated, Sissy lan m or the upward and turned to leave.
- O thymus, you cretin fit udo! N O s let's go!
- Bye. And didn`t let the door hit that his huge back when you leave.

She stopped suddenly and noticed how everyone but Travis, gave a cautious
step backward will s. It was a sensible attitude. Normally a joke like that would in
rutting to a fight, but didn`t at that time. N o when Sissy had to take care of that
gluttonous beast who was recovering at his father's house.
But what stopped Sissy was the calendar a rio attached to the walls
especially the date marked on it. Suddenly, one day he is earning an import
unprecedented INSTANCE in your life.
- Unless ... - she eats or .
- Unless the qu is? - The pause was long at it is Travis repeat the question. Unless the qu is, Sissy Mae?
- Unless we can reach an agreement.
- Money didn`t mean anything to me, Sissy, and you know it is.
- Oh, I know. - She turned to jailed on felony charge will it. - But there's
something that means a lot. And Mitch can help. When he is a little better, of
course.
Immediately, Travis knew what she was getting.
- Youre s O may be playing.
- He is good.
- Nonsense. N O s tried with his brother , and youre know the outcome.
- Mitch is better.
- Of course it is.
- I swear! Check on the internet, you didn`t believe me.
- Okay, then is the truth. So what?

- And the youre have a chance to get what you want. What do you want h
will so many years.
Jack balan or fit a.
- She's lying you, Travis. Are you ...
Sissy took a tambourine that was on a table, and threw t or will pido Jack
didn`t have a chance to move before being hit. He yelped like a wounded hyena,
and all ignored, as usual.
- And then? - It is a decision or o.
- If it's true ...
- It is true.
- If this is true, then o it is an agreement that I would welcome. But it better
be true, Sissy. And he better be willing.
She smiled.
- Mitch generally will're ready for anything.
The women laughed, but Travis just stared at her.
- If you're're lying, Sissy Mae, it is better to take that cat away before we
show him as they used to be the s nights will bado here in is poca of Grandpa O
Smith.
The Sissy's eyes narrowed to hear that name, and all, with the exce tio
Travis, retreated another step.
- N o Is Funny ado, Travis.
- I didn`t was trying to be funny ado. Now if didn`t mind, I need to talk to
alcat is going ... which, if I remember correctly, youre didn`t longer part.

Sissy smiled.
- Ah, that's true. Because if I was, you would have already killed youre h a
lot of time, and used this to your head chap huge u is, as a warning to any
challenger.
She turned and left. Before he got to the rental car, your mind will already
was focused on how to convince Mitch to accept.
Mitch j I was in the middle of wonderful shank zebra done by Sissy when he
noticed she was still jailed on felony charge will it. If it were anyone else, he
would have thought that was atra ction for him. But Sissy was the type of girl who,
when she wanted someone is m, going forward. Ent o, why she kept looking at
him?
- What? - He asked to finish eating. Now who regained his appetite back, it
would take more than curiosity to stop a tio the meal.
- Finished?
- Yes, I finished. Now why youre both look at me?
- Let's talk in the room.
Mitch watched her get up. Sissy was being very gentle, which made him
cautious. Mitch followed her and sat down on a sofa will. She walked from one
side to the other by rivers will see minutes at is that it didn`t ag entou more.
- They want me to see you though, right?
- Well ...
- Do not worry. I should have gone to Filad is lfia even didn`t want you to
have problems because of me.

- Wait, let me speak. I found a way to let rem to stay, but with a condition
ction. - She eats or rub t is mporas. - This is t o embara oso ...
- Youre didn`t going to have to marry a cousin, didn`t it? Sissy stopped
walking from one side to the other and stared at him with an O mortal hatred.
- D will to speak is the river?
- Sorry.
With m the hips, she sighed.
- To stay, vo c is going to have to do something.
- I 'll have to marry some material yours?
- Mitch! He laughed.
- Sorry, I didn`t resist. Now, d will for you is to talk soon?
- S the Bears ... in Collinstown.
As he didn`t had no id is going to that city that was continued without
understanding.
- Is there a rivalry between them will h years, and ... well, anyway ... they
want youre play.
- That I play? I play the qu is?
He had never seen him without gra t to before.
- Um ... football.
- S O that?
- Look, I know it's a strange request, but I had to think of something.
Without my parents here, I'm the mer c is that of Travis bastard, and if I kill him,
as I tried to do when I was eight, Dad picks me later.

- But why football? I mean, always power masters solicit Brendon ...
- I can say frankly that Travis didn`t care about money. It's O cares about
two things: to be an alpha male and ...
- American Football.
- Exactly.
- So o, he needs me to play against some bears?
- N o t is the simple. - Sissy sat on the couch and you turned to Mitch. - As
you know is, all the cities of shapeshifters s the different. And each region is also
o m. But what unites them is the love for this sport. We have official teams,
traveling, and some of the richest cities t is m including est will dios, s O for these
games.
- You're kidding?
- Not even a little. Since I was the child , they stuck me this down our
throats. My father and my uncles played when younger, and my grandfather O s is
also m, they love the game.
- But Bears s o ble unbeatable.
- Basically. Look, guys can reach two meters and forty tall and one hundred
and eighty kilos, enquan to humans. God knows we didn`t could play the official
league; It would be deadly.
- And youre think I can help?
- Do you remember what I told you the other night? Brendon always praises
youre in particular on how youre was Ghost will stico in football.

He is also m loved sport, but had to abandon will it. Blood tests eventually
giving his esp is cie, and Mitch didn`t could take that risk. But remained with the
heart ction party.
Still playing occasionally with friends, but had to control because they were
human. The id is going to be able to play like always wanted, without reservation,
almost made him jump for joy.
Sissy touched his leg.
- I know I'm asking a lot, of course, wait until it is fully recovered. But the
game will be on the other s will bado, and is at l will youre j you will be in perfect
condition gs. If you're refuses, I will understand, and I will fight to make it,
anyway.
She seemed t Y our sincere, t the upset, Mitch didn`t op to avoid provoc
will -la a bit.
- What do you think you're doing? - He took am her of her leg, and Sissy
stepped back in surprise.
- Huh?
- Did you hear me. You think didn`t know what's you doing?
- What am I doing?
- Trying to use me, to get me to play for his team ..
- Mitch, of course I didn`t ...
- I didn`t'm a scoundrel!
Sissy rolled her eyes.
- Mitchell ...

- I see how it will work.

- Oh yes? And how will it be?
He pulled back a little more, stamping on his face express ing is the most
naked.
- First, youre sits next to me ... a little too close with this sensual. Then a few
taps on my favorite areas er O genas, which I have many.
Sissy slapped his thigh.
- Mitchell Shaw!
- And before I d is account, I'm lying on my back, and youre will're abusing
me. S O for me to play.
She stared at the ceiling.
- Why our conversations are always t the strange? Laughing, he
surrendered.
- All right, I play. With a condition ction.
- Yes?
- I know who Clyde.
Sissy released in the body will sofa with legs up.
N o may be speaking the river is.
- Tell me, or I'll throw the bears.
She shrugged and sighed.
- N o know if youre will're ready for it. Clyde ... means a lot to me.
- Bears - he growled.

- All right, if you insist ...

- I insist.
- So o come. We have some time before today's workout, which I know
Travis wants youre participate. But I hope you're prepared.
Mitch didn`t like it.
Mitch left the rental car and looked around. Sissy had parked next to a small
house, but beautiful, right in the middle of a huge field. Growing up in Filad is lfia,
Mitch was used to small yards. That whole area will let him dumbfounded: trees,
streams, ponds ...
Now understand why Brendon didn`t saw trouble coming to visit the fam
lia Ronnie Lee. Sitting on the porch of Sissy's house, taking coffee is, he could see
the cer v and small deer passing. What kept him in a constant state of hunger.
- This is Clyde's house?
- N o, is the home of my brother o. Mitch is O or a smile.
- Which one? You'll have to be more spec is.
- Ah ah ...
- Aunt Sissy! - A childish voice called, and in the next instant Sissy was
surrounded by five the child who seemed to have a year of difference to each
other, the m will ximo.
Sissy took the smallest of them and turned, while the others around her.
- How's my favorite the terrorzinhos?
- Well - they said, before flooding the aunt with ... oh, who understood?
Mitch didn`t surely as the five were shouting at the same time to be heard.

- Where is the will mam and ? - She managed to ask finally, after Mitch
surprised to have been able to hear and respond to each child to .
- L will at home - all told.
- Tell her to meet us at the barn, are you well? Sissy put the little one on the
floor o, and the five ran to the house.
- I love the child - Sissy said, before going to the back of the house,
heading for the barn. But Mitch heard when she added, softly: - Since didn`t be
mine.
Mitch asked:
- Clyde is a cow?
- N o. You know that didn`t we have cows here. They panic easily.
Sissy took the ma anetas door and pulled.
- This is Clyde - presented proudly. But Mitch barely heard. was at nite
with the beauty he saw there.
- Ol will, Sissy Mae! - A beautiful wolf with blue eyes approached them. Makes a s century is that didn`t him to see.
- Ol will, Violet! This is Mitchell Shaw.
She greeted him, ble amig. Mitch nodded, distracted .
- Where are you my brother o?
- In the cafeteria, where else? Sissy held am o.
- D is -Me.
Violet balan or fit it and laughed.
- Youre didn`t will ever change, Sissy Mae ...

- S O under court order.

Violet handed a set of keys to Sissy and left, leaving them the O's.
- Where did you get it? - Mitch asked, moving slowly around the belezura
ahead.
- N O so we built - she said, and he stared at her, shocked.
- This is the one? The car that youre was talking that restored?
- That's it. - She came around the Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 71, sliding am
o on the hood. - When Ronnie Lee and I t e nhamos about fifteen years ago, our
parents gave money to buy our first car. N o was too, but they had grown tired of
steal their cars, and the sheriff in poca is said that if we caught making alloy ction
direct again, would take us to jail. They thought O n e s be content with any
masters calham beque, s O to give a few laps in the city. Something that didn`t you
walk a lot, you know, the kind of car that a grandmother would have O. Instead,
we went to the junkyard and find the remains of this Malibu and a Plymouth
Barracuda 71. Ronnie wanted Barracuda. With the money left, eats Standing
masters to buy them. When it was over, eats masters working in the city,
accepting any service is at the Travis hire us at the gas station. He taught us a lot
about cars and engines. And it is also m set up some others, like the Camaro DeeAnn.
Sissy slid his fingers across the top.
- It took two years to assemble this one and Ronnie, but worth it.
- Why are you here will?
- When we sa s pa, leave the car in luga res safer than we think. I left
mine with Sammy Ray because he is the nico, al is m Smitty, who I could trust.

Ronnie left her with am and, knowing that she didn`t let no one is m getting near
the car. N o admi Tiria at all, but was very proud of Ronnie Lee for the work they
did.
- Should be proud. This is incredible! Sissy smiled.
- This is Clyde. I didn`t oo h drive a lot of time, but dream a lot from him.
Mitch laughed.
- So moaned his name?
- It was ... but can you blame me?
- Not even a little. - Himself was moaning to see the car.
- Let's take a walk. Mitch balan or fit a.
- Forget the . Still didn`t'm ready to have white hairs in my mane.
- And if I promise to respect the speed limits? I take youre for a ride into
town. - She came, the beautiful the malicious children. - Come on you, kitten ...
Youre know you want to.
And as I wanted!
- All right, but you is promised!
Sissy opened the door. The fact that the car is unlocked, even in that barn,
said a lot about the safety the city.
The engine roared like a puma to be connected. Mitch cringed in his seat,
slightly.
- You can stop - she warned.

- N o could avoid. - Mitch am extended to the will or hatred Sissy settled.

Worked with ribbons c assete, and Mitch smiled, remembering her. - Let's see what
the m sic ble Sissy ador used to hear. - Frankly ...
- Which it was? These s the sic my hands to hit the road!
Sissy Mitch strolled with the city for about two hours, showing the school
freq entara, where she and her wolves used to be when didn`t were tormenting no
one is m, and at is where was arrested for the first time .
- N o know why bother to ask, but ... you're hungry?
- I thought I didn`t would never ask! I'm hungry.
- Amazing. - She mused for a moment. - H will a steakhouse near the border
of the city. It has a mixed clientele, but the food is very good.
- O thymus.
- And how is your esp cie l will appear from time to time, they must have
enough food to fill that your est magician bottomless.
Waiting for the light to open, the sound of an engine roaring beside them
made Sissy leaned on Mitch to look out the window. Immediately, she smiled.
- Open the window.
Mitch obeyed, gaping.
- What est o doing here? I thought they were going to wait ...
- T e nhamos to come. But after we talked. - Ronnie smiled from within the
Barracuda, looking at the sign and back to Sissy.
Both smiled.

- Do not even think about it - Brendon Shaw warned his girlfriend. - I'm
talking about is the river, Ronnie Lee!
The head to Mitch turned quickly to Sissy.
- You promised!
She looked ahead while the signal open.
- I lied - took over, before stepping back.
Mitch grabbed the panel. If didn`t liked both cars, eat aria from one panel
to pieces. But didn`t could do that with that prettiness; ent o, instead, he is held
and prayed.
Despite being almost blurring of fear, I had to admire those women. C
hegaram a sharp turn and followed throughout. At one point, at is commented:
- Did you see that?
- What?
- Net ction boots on Marland's. We will have to return later.
How she managed to see, he didn`t did id is going. Mitch could barely see
the road ahead, praying nothing to cross the road. Quickly sa city ram into the
forests around. S the O then he understood why the roads there were t Y our
large: so that two cars could compete. For what he had noticed, the whole city,
didn`t only Smith was descen tooth smugglers, that when didn`t were fleeing the
pol cia, were disputing races together by divers o.
Ronnie passed Sissy, and she swore, but didn`t in English and lish.
- What l ngua is that, besides the ?
- Swearing in addition o is much more intense, didn`t it?

He didn`t have time to answer, as Sissy was the fren you Ronnie, and
laughter evil s O worsened the grip on his est magician.
Mitch held firmer when Ronnie pulled alongside them, alcan walk illegal
speeds worldwide.
- Youre will're praying? - She asked.
- I was raised as a good cat O acid. And when you're know you will die,
youre prayer.
- Oh, soothe ... Damn!
Mitch turned in time to see the sheriff's car crosses of the track. He was
leaning on the door, the bra crossed ... waiting for them.
- Sissy ...
She didn`t answer, concentrated on braking and the car will come it does to
the left, while Ronnie turned her in the direction contrary to a rio didn`t hit with
Sissy.
When they finally stopped, Mitch noticed his side of the car was about ten
meters from one cent will huge tree. Vis es involving the car will tree, with him
still inside, didn`t helped calm her est magician.
Holding the steering wheel, Sissy kept muttering "damn, damn, damn."
Mitch didn`t believed that these were grumbling by proximity to the tree will. And
I was sure that when the loudspeaker shot:
- Sissy ... ... Mae Smith. Get out ... that ... car. Now!
She flinched as alcan ava ma aneta. Mal sa ra when a m the immense
took her ear and held it up.
- Ouch!

- N o're here nor will you two days ago, and already the meeting will desres
squaring off against each of the existing laws in the munic hoot!
- N o est will we doing anything - she argued, like a child a,
- Quiet, Sissy Mae Ronnie Lee, come j will for you c! Mitch needed to get
out, but the door was too close to the tree will, ent o he had to squirm to get out
the bike side rista. His brother oo held under his shoulders and helped him. Once
you got to p is, the two stared at each ese open plow, solution walk. They were
too happy to be alive.

* * *
When Ronnie Lee gave him a light punch in the ribs, Sissy didn`t expect to
see Mitch and the brother to open the walk as if they had just been rescued
from the Titanic. When he looked back at Ronnie, both rolled their eyes before the
drama made by cats.
- Est o hear me?
Sissy sat up when he heard the scream and turned to the sheriff.
- Yes sir.
- When your father come back?
- N o know.
- You do not know ?!
Wincing, she balan or fit a.
- And I think his parents are with him, didn`t is, Ronnie Lee?
- Yes, sir.

- And youre s two think they can come here and go back where they left off
h at twelve?
- N o sn we did nothing - Sissy repeated.
- Quiet! - The sheriff was at it is Ronnie Lee and stood before her. - What do
I always tell you? She didn`t is good company. Youre should stay away from it.
- Uncle Jeb, it didn`t is right.
- I scored. Youre s were two hundred eighty quil meters per hour.
- Jesus! What youre st is m those engines? - When everyone looked at him,
Mitch shrugged. - Just for curiosity.
- Now or am well: arrange themselves into trouble, I'll fall on youre s as
the archangel Gabriel. Understood?
- Yes, sir - Ronnie promised.
But Sissy didn`t speak, and Ronnie's uncle was in front of her, waiting for
your reply. They stared at each other, both spe rando the other retreated. Sissy
didn`t oo made; I didn`t know how.
- Sissy is also m promises - Ronnie said, pushing his uncle in dire ction of
the car.
With a snarl, he was, but didn`t before investing:
- It is just like the m and .
Sissy knew he had to prop O located. Low blow, but almost made from on
top of him when he was prevented by a bra strong holding her by the waist. She
tried to pull away, but in v o. Still she called the sheriff:
- Take that back!

But he just laughed and walked away. Mitch to open or and kissed the
head a.
- Calm down.
- He always blames it on me! I never did anything to him, but he hates me
anyway ...
- He didn`t hate youre - Ronnie Lee corrected. - It's O didn`t like youre.
- Thank you.
- Let's get out of here - Ronnie asked, smiling.
- I think we need a beer.
- I'm hungry - both Shaw said in un ssono.
- We'd better go to Sammy's Restaurant, ent o. - Sissy sighed. - I didn`t
have food youre s two, and the barbecue requires reservation twenty-four hours of
anteced is NCIA when going over a cat.
- The killer was one of us?
- It was. - Ronnie put a paper napkin in her lap before looking again Sissy. D will to believe? Cad is loyalty?
- N o know. It seems that Mitchy angered some bunch of lionesses, and they
now want revenge a.
- Stop calling me that. S O my m and can, and because it was in labor for
eighteen hours. And no band could shake me, because no one is with m could
shake my hand and .
- That's true - confirmed Brendon, picking up food at Ronnie dish. - The
gang O'Neill can didn`t be on the same level n the Llewellyn, but it is feared. I,

personal mind, I agree with Desiree. A feline will're getting a lot of money to kill
Mitch.
- I'm surprised OTarrell has hired a woman. He didn`t trust them to do
anything is al m cooking and ... - He broke off, seeing both the jailed on felony
charge will it. - Nevermind.
- It can didn`t T is hired -la. H will be a reward for your head to, after all.
- Youre could stay as le oo all the time. This made everyone return to
Ronnie.
- Why? - Sissy asked.
- I believe that the 'F arrell will want to see any evidence that Mitch is dead,
to pay. And that lion knows that if it does will mat while as le o, it will remain so.
And she would not have any proof.
- Wow! That didn`t is t foolish as it seemed - Mitch marveled.
- Thank you.
- But I didn`t. - : Mitch took a p ozinho the dish Sissy, and she was tempted
to cut his finger.
- Why didn`t?
- N o can play if it is a le o.
- Play? - Brendon looked at them. - Play what? Sissy looked at the rel gio O
to the wall.
- Wow! Mitchell, you'd better go soon, if you want to get to the workout
time.

- Training? - Brendon's eyes narrowed. - Training is qu? Mitch took a dram

will tico sigh.
- N o will believe it, man, but to stay here, I'll have to play football.
Sissy saw Ronnie cringe seconds before am the Brendon hit the table;
- Why he can play ?!
- Honey, you will l didn`t need to get upset ...
- N o is fair, I am t good as him!
- That's why they call Exchanged Paws?
Sissy barely had time to duck when op ozinho flew past your head to .
Blame for Ronnie Lee.
- Which it was? It was just a question O ...

Sammy Ray came like lightning in the workshop of the brother when he
was ready to leave for training.
- Youre going for CA it does to play football? Travis barely looked in dire
ction his.
- N o know what youre have to do with it, Sammy Ray.
- She is your sister.
- She didn`t will play.
- Do you understand me.
- Look, I didn`t said she was forced to leave. But didn`t is safe t is it does
here.

- But you're willing to take the risk, if he plays? - That s O made sense in the
head to Travis.
- I'm willing to risk it, if it is t good as she says.
Donnie came out of the workshop and stopped. Looked at Sammy, who
stared back at him is to look away.
- Meeting youre l will out - he said Donnie, j will out. God is c u, Bobby
Ray and Sissy is that they were right.
Get out of town and that madness. Because Sammy didn`t know how much
more would bear the brother o.
- I'll say again, Travis. She is your sister. And if you need help, that's what
should matter. N o care who she was brought home.
- Let's face it, ozinho sister, Sissy Mae is a ...
Sammy lifted am o, stopping Travis. He loved his sister ca ula, en
would let no one will call it m -la it. N o in front.
- I'll make it clear. If you're calling what we were planning, will one day be
fat physician to n O s two. Get it?
Travis balan or fit a.
- Always protect ...
- S O of youre. She or feline didn`t should have to do anything to stay here,
and you know it is very well.
- But it will do. - Travis picked up his things and was at is the brother o. And if you're have a problem with that, little brother, feel free to do whatever you
want.

When Sammy didn`t respond or react, Travis sighed and left.

- N o believe I'm here again.

Sissy looked around at the huge field. There will v rivers in the city, one for
each track et will laugh from the garden inf INSTANCE at is that they were to
compete gs intercity. See all o, the s will bados it had been passed there. When
she and Ronnie sa ram, she had sworn never to set foot there. However ...
And Smithtown field didn`t was a simple field with some marks on the floor
o. It was a place where any semiprofessional team would be proud to play.
Although the game against the Bears were just in two weeks, they already
will have hot dog vendors and Hambu rguer during practice for the spectators.
But Sissy and Ronnie dispensed the snacks, exchanging them for coffee is.
As they followed the dire ction of the stands, watched Sissy Mitch get a
perfect pass. I knew he ain of was a little sore, but didn`t seem. In fact, he picked
up the ball with express o t is hatred.
She smiled.
- So o, which will h between youre and Mitch? Startled, Sissy looked at
her friend.
- Nothing Why?
Ronnie gave him a slap in the neck.
- Ouch! - She stopped walking and turned to the other. - And that was why?
- Why youre is a fool, Sissy Mae Smith! She still did not understand.
- But what youre est you talking about?

- I'm talking about ... drug.

- What? I? I didn`t use, youre know ...
But when the attention paid ction, she saw that her friend was looking over
his shoulder.
Sissy turned and saw a pair of eyes through which 'd do anything ... when I
was sixteen.
- Gil.
Your ex. He smiled.
- Ol will, ura.
Mitch caught the ball easily, and could tell by the face of the wolf he had
planned derrub will it does with that move. Can vel Videos ... imposs didn`t like
them.
They eat plow taking it easy, for they knew that he was recovering. But
soon this changed when they saw that nothing bothered him.
- Want to try some passes? - Travis offered.
Ap s finally meet the brother o Sissy, Mitch was sure didn`t like him.
Mitch moved his shoulder, experiencing. The to, but didn`t lot.
- Of course.
Travis called one of the boys, and Mitch lan or the ball. The wolf caught,
but retreated v rivers will step on impact. Startled, he looked at Travis.
- Not bad.
- I know.
- I think my sister informed him the conditions gs so youre stay.

Mitch smiled.
- Let's face it, Smith. Youre needs me more than I of youre. In particular, if
you want to beat the Bears. Right?
- Right. So what?
- I will play.
- But what you want in return? Because I see you want something.
- I want my sister in the team.
Travis gaped and, for a moment, lost the express o ble impenetr who used
most of the time.
- The Paws Exchanged? Forget it.
- Put it in the attack. He will not even touch the ball. But or he goes, or I go
out.
Travis eyes to Brendon, sitting on the bench ...
- And fa to appear that is youre who want it.
With a sigh much like with of Sissy, Travis called.
- Hey, Shaw! You want to play? Brendon straightened on the bench.
- I? Of course!
- This had better work - Travis growled.
- Got it. - Mitch searched for Ronnie to avis will -la. Instead, he saw a man
talking to Sissy.
Taking Travis by the the bra before what a he could get away, he asked
who it was.

- That? Oh, and Gil Warren.

- It is part of the pack?
- Today Yes. But he goes back and forth.
- Why is he talking to you Sissy?
Travis turned slowly to jailed on felony charge will it.
- How can I say? He was the first ... Sissy's boyfriend. And a girl didn`t
forget these things, didn`t it?
One of the wolves threw the ball to Mitch.
- We will make a few more passes.
- Of course - Mitch nodded.
He looked at the ball in your hands them, took the bra for the tr s will,
and saw the ball fly ...
Sissy was incr is dula.
Gil? Gil Warren? Back in town after O s so many years, and acting as if
didn`t oa had left ... Or maybe esti vesse thinking that Sissy was one of those
women who leave will l. Who forget and forgive.
Well, she didn`t was. N o forgot or forgave anything.
- It's great to see is -la again, Sissy.
- Yeah, thanks.
- How long will you be here?
- N o know.

- I see your sister s is also m, Gil. - Ronnie enca rou the woman who said
that Gil could get something better than "slut sister of BobbyRay ". It s O didn`t
hated woman more than hated pr O prio Gil,
- We're back for good.
- O thymus. - Sissy sought by e sa of for that conversation, which didn`t was
a kick in the region Y our low it.
- How about dinner together tonight? She was even more shocked.
- You are kidding. He smiled.
- Not at all, dear. We're having dinner, talking. It will be great.
- N o.
- Let's you l, Sissy Mae ... Est will time to leave the past three s will.
- No it's not. But it was worth the attempt.
Ronnie laughed, but the laughter died when the ball hit Gil's neck, lan walk
the wolf ahead. Sissy and she fell back, watching him fall.
- Sorry - Mitch said, the middle of the field. - It was my fault.
Sissy stood there, still, at is that Ronnie took her bra o and took to the
bleachers, bypassing the body ca e of Gil.
- If I ask why will be that Mitch did it, I'll take another slap?
- C om sure.

Sissy didn`t know that your favorite bar in Smithtown had bought a karaoke
is, and last thing she had expected was to see two le ns singing m sic Bon Jovi.

It had been id is going Dee they meet at the bar, and Sissy gladly accepted.
Since Mitch had hit the head to Gil Warren, she felt ... strange. Mitch was still a
goofy ... right? A colleague ... comrade. Just a friend.
Ent o, why didn`t could not stop looking at it?
N o. It was worrying for nothing. Probably it s O was feeling well because
he almost was killed in front. That must be it.
- I'd never heard Brendon sing - Ronnie comen tou. - And I think I didn`t
want to hear it again.
- So o, didn`t is along the c wild es. It seems that Mitch is the main
attraction ction monthly nights of karaoke is.
- Can Videos singing ... - Dee sighed in disgust.
- Gil Warren ... didn`t believe he had the nerve to come back here! - Dee
muttered.
- And with the brother . - Ronnie sniffled. - I hate that woman. And I hear
that she wants to make an alpha Gil.
Sissy sighed desd is m.
- And that would be poss ble in that world?
- Have a strong m f is next to it would help a lot.
What insulted her most was the way the were jailed on felony charge will la, as if they expected ca e iff into tears.
- Even think that I'm Pat is tica to this point?
When didn`t received answer, put the beer bottle with is on the table.
- I'm going to the bathroom.

- Sissy, wait! N o said ...

But she left before Ronnie could finish the sentence. She went in the
bathroom but didn`t wanted to go back to the table to follow from, and just
walking out the back door leading to an alley. As the door closed, she heard noises
coming from the trash. He walked around the place and saw a half wolf buried will
l.
- Uncle Eggie!
He left the trash with wide eyes.
- You know I didn`t should be diving in the trash! - If didn`t were not for her
aunt Dar l to and Dee-Ann, Uncle live on the streets. - Now I see back home before
someone is m out and see it.
Give it would be grateful. Sissy didn`t know how the women of her fam ag
entavam read that sort of thing; didn`t seem worth it.
It was at is the trash and peered inside l will see what had interested both. It
should have been or will hate. The uncle thought he could still Recover it does and
will vend is it.
- Thinking about jumping to ?
Sissy was startled to hear the voice of Mitch.
- N o come will sneak atr s me! At it looks like a cat ...
- I sa to see if youre was fine. But it youre who I was staring at a trash can.
- N o was, didn`t! I s o ... ah, leave you there. What youre wanted, anyway?
- Want dan air? Sissy frowned.
- Here in the alley?

He gave him a flick on the forehead.

- N o here, you fool! In there.
- Est touching m sic real or is s O that karaoke is crap?
- Why didn`t admits soon as my musical career was stolen from me because
of my innate sensuality?
- I admit that youre 's crazy, that's what. But that would be redundant. - She
went to the door, he soon will atr s.
- Um, using words dif ficult e ...
As he opened the door with one of the m , she tried to will it does with the
other Estap. He laughed and took her am o.
- Cad is his sense of humor?
Sissy was about to enter when he asked: - So who was that guy? Sissy
stopped. I knew exactly who he was talking about.
- That was Gil Warren.
- Your ex?
- Himself - she confirmed, closing the door and Voltan to the alley,
- N o told me that he still lived here.
- I did not know. And he said, just moved, and plan to stay. - Sissy tucked
am o, left in short pocket, j will he still held his right. - Why youre hit him with
the ball?
Mitch watched am her, stroking it with his thumb.

- Youre looked annoyed. - He shrugged, not taking his eyes from m o

Sissy. - I didn`t want him to talk to you is. Or to look for youre. In fact, I disliked
him immediately.
Sissy swallowed.
- Ah understood.
He finally looked at her.
- Is mad at me?
- Not even a little.
Ent Sissy did something that was willing to do for a long time: he rose at
the end of p is kissed Mitchell Shaw.
Nothing much dram will tico. She didn`t oo attacked, or put al ngua. Only
pressed l will bios to it. But it was as if he had grabbed the member, by rea ction it.
Suddenly, he was with the m buried in her hair, the mouth to life devouring
her as he pushed her against the door. Your e l ngua slipped into the mouth of
Sissy, exploring, curling up in her, savoring.
And Sissy felt melt.
It had been subtle. Very beautiful, catch Sissy in the alley in back of the bar.
But she never imagined she would beij will it. Nor expected to feel such explosion
the arising of a kiss t chaste and sweet. Probably just a thank you for having
taken care of her ex. And he was Passan the limits.
But she had a t like good, and even better smell ... N on the fair was, he
was only half human!
Step back. You need is back!

In a minute. He would back in a minute, he promised himself.

But then the o Sissy enla or at the neck , pulling him closer. And with
the right leg, eats or up and down op is Descal into his leg. Exploring it with al
ngua, fingers buried in his hair as he turned the game and took control, kissing
him with more passion than he o j you had experienced in life.
When she pulled away suddenly Mitch didn`t know what to do. Beg, maybe.
He was humble enough to it, especially that located ction.
Ent Sissy stepped back, but held him by the shirt.
- Come.
She took a step backward will s, opened the door and entered the bar,
dragging it will atr s you. He stopped at the table where Ronnie Lee he was, sitting
on the lap of Brendon, took the keys and left, still towing Mitch.
He would never forget the face of the brother o.
So sa ram, Sissy pushed him to the car.
- Come in.
He knew he was taking a risk by allowing her to drive, but no one is m lev
could will them back more r will pido. And he needed to be inside Sissy, needed to
know how it was. Wanted this more than anything in life.

Peter O'Farre ll Jr. left the luxurious restaurant franc is s in dire ction it to
your car, parked in the back alley. They no pre made it, if it were necessary will
laugh a withdrawal r will rupted.
One of the boys should es t air waiting there. Once realized he didn`t was,
Peter turned to return to the restaurant.

But she was at the front door.

He will already heard it. Roxy O'Neil l. They said it was strange. Strange,
sexy and dangerous. But no one is known by qu is m. S O knew they should evit
will -la ... her and her sister s s.
But Peter knew the reason for the visit. She had come to fight for the life of
the child. Contrary to the will of the river popular belief, Peter didn`t put the head
to his pr is mio. Hell, the boy had done what no one is m had achieved more: get
rid of his father. For a while, it seemed that the strip would be able to take down
many staff of key people, but a good lawyer, like him, could bring down the
charges gs.
She was falling, one after another O sa, in last two years. You could
almost pity the guy. But the problem with the accused gs against Peter was the
officer witnessed the first m o, giving voice the prison immediately.
And for Peter Jr., life had become a wonder.
- Ol you, Peter.
- Mrs. O'Neill..
- I was hoping you had some time to talk to me.
He smiled and shrugged deli,
- I do not know what to say. J The police will have is at my Writers O river,
and I said what I will repeat for you ... o not me who put a bounty on the head to
your child.
- I believe. And I know it was your father.
- That, didn`t have to say.
Roxy dismissed his apology.

- N o come talk about it. I came to talk about what youre think.
He balan or fit a.
- I did not understand ...
- If didn`t were rewarded youre Do?
- Are you asking me if I want her dead son?
- I'm wondering what would venture to v is killed it. He smiled.
- Mrs. O'Neill ....
A loud thump interrupted him, and he looked tr s will. They had played his
henchman on the car roof, and then o ... that landed on it. It was large, gold and
... bloody.
- I need you to answer my question, boy. When Peter turned, there was
another to hand of Roxy O'Neill, leaning on her body. Peter heard a strange growl,
and saw two others in the utra end of the alley. And two male right there close. I
knew they were mac hos because of the huge manes.
I could shout for help, but something told him that didn`t have a chance. I
was armed, but he knew didn`t could withdraw rev O lver before they estra
alhassem.
N o m had no one is there. And who would believe in something?
- I need to know if my only problem is his father ... or youre is also m.
Balan to walk the head while es le approached him, Peter stepped back.
- N o, lady ... I will n!
- That's good, kid. Very good.

Roxy came over and wrapped his neck with your fingers. Suddenly, those
huge red nails looked much more sharp, penetrating your skin. Without any
apparent effort , she is dragged at the car.
The lioness on the body of the safety bent over Peter, and blood and drool
dripped from his mouth to his forehead.
- Youre know me - Roxy said. - In m e nimo, j you heard of me. And my son
is very dear. I'll take care of his father, and so you're going to take his place
without pro lems. In return, when the time comes, you're going to make sure that
let Mitch alone. Right?
Peter swallowed hard and nodded.
- O thymus. Why didn`t matter what youre try eaten go, or my son ... h you
will see rivers as n s, everywhere. And all being o ca walk youre. Get it?
He nodded.
- I want to listen!
- Yes! I got it ...
- Good. - She stepped back, and the other moved together, sliding the
darkness as if they had never been there. - Good thing we tend en.
Ent Roxy walked away with a golden bag hanging in m them.
- Good luck to take the O neg ness, Peter. I think youre O thymus. It is
definitely a lot smarter than his father.
And with that, she was gone.

Sissy floored, as he passed Smithville trying to get home with Mitch.

Once resolved, he didn`t hesitate, or wondered if it was the right thing to do.
Who had the time? And his body was doing its pr O Pippen exif stances is that
Precious Savam be met.
When she braked suddenly in front of her parents' home, Mitch released the
panel and relaxed on the bench. After a few moments, Sissy turned to him and
asked:
- Any reason to still be here?
- Uh ... I didn`t want to rush things.
- Out! Right now!
Entering the house, she will knock the couch, sitting on his lap and pulling
his shirt up, trying arranc will -la, and bringing his face close to her in the process.
- Are you sure?
- You know what I want, really? Make love with you. If I didn`t have
certainly didn`t be masters here. I didn`t would be sitting on your lap, full of
desire, and youre didn`t would be with this ere ction monumental I'm feeling here.
Ent stop the cause and take off your clothes, before I get angry.
Mitch looked at her face.
- Now youre excited me even ...
Sissy stared at him, fidgeting in his lap.
- So o, come ...
Mitch thought that after that speech, Sissy advances aria it. But instead,
she stroked his face and the neck the as he watched the expression on his face o
all the time. Mitch liked Sissy really. The way she didn`t ashamed of anything or

nobody is m. I knew what he wanted, and would atr s will. God knew he liked that
in a woman.
- My goodness, how much hair! - She said, while away from Mitch's face.
- Hey, that didn`t's just hair! It is my mighty mane, sign my exuberant
masculinity.
- I would say more of his exuberant nonsense. He smiled.
- This too.
- Do you feel more for you c.
He obeyed, and Sissy finally managed to take off his shirt. He played the
Standing the away and slid the m them by Mitch's chest.
- Youre will're much stronger than it was when it came ...
Mitch stroked her face.
- It's your fault, no one is sent cook t m good.
- I'm glad you have given result. - Sissy stroked his shoulder, then the neck
, until it's back to the hair. Agar rou it, pulling your head backwards to will be
leaning on him, so the jailed on felony charge will it. - Can not wait to have youre
inside me.
Mitch kissed her, al ngua penetrating her mouth, delighting in its flavor.
The m him the slipped down her back, is to grab at you the n will degas, bringing
it close to him, is at his need to see is bare -la become irresist vel . Grabbing the
shirt of Sissy, he tore it and threw it on the floor o.
Under the shirt, she wore the top of a biqu ni black. Mitch rolled strips of
biqu e ni fingers, pulling at it they become loose in Sissy's neck. Ent m the
lowered them, still holding the straps, and watched as her nipples arose.

Sissy, nothing unsafe or t damp, kept m the lowered as he looked. Her

breasts were large but didn`t disproportionate, and j will nipples were r e tected and
anxious. She had v will holiday scars on his chest, and a newer near the shoulder.
Mitch slid his fingers through them, noting the ime diately to express o confused
Sissy.
- What it was?
Sissy took the m his and placed them on her breasts.
- M them to work, boss. N o have all day! Mitch took the m them.
- N o rush me. At is I finish, these breasts s the mine, to have fun as you
wish. Youre stay quietly, bathed in sunshine of my person.
Sissy opened his mouth to say what he should bathe when Mitch bent to fit
to and took her left breast in l will bios. She gasped, surprised by the wave of
pleasure that car cia fired into it. He had a hot mouth and l talented ngua.
Canned walk him by fits a, with closed eyes, Sissy held next to each
other. Mitch sucked with is O, and she felt her heart contract in the compass of his
movements.
Mitch pushed slightly and dropped to his knees, pulling the short and the
bottom of the biqu e ni.
- I'll be back j will - he said, before burying her face in her legs Sissy.
She laughed and went back to gasp when she felt al ngua his con tra her
femininity j will damp, the m is the walk her thighs to separate, in order to
achieve further car cia.

Ah, to lend you would l ngua of le ns ... Used as nature intended, could
separate the meat from the bones. Used that way, I was doing Sissy squirm,
wondering how much longer could be ag entar powder is.
She dug her fingers into the mane of Mitch, bringing it closer, opening up a
little more for it. The m his huge thighs rose Sissy is at reach their back,
squeezing, stroking while her l ngua conti nuava the devass will -la.
Sissy left the sensation gs to invade. J will make much has po who didn`t
feel anything t Y our tasty, something he could do is -la just relax and let Mitch do
whatever he wanted ...
He opened his eyes suddenly and turned away from him. What were you
doing? She knew the rules, limits. Always had to be limits. But when he looked at
her, the expression Y our concern, she felt op single increase, and its limits eat
plow to be somewhat indistinct.
N o wanting to give up, Sissy did what he always did. Took control.
- Get up - ordered, grabbing Mitch's hair and holding it up.
He followed her, and Sissy will knock the couch. Rising to his knees before
him, he stretched am the bot to that of his jeans. Once opened, she took the lime
to and o cotton underwear pulled, snarling at Mitch lift the hips. He obeyed,
and she took everything.
With naked Mitch, Sissy watched for a moment to perfection tio om will
scula ahead. It was a picture of power, gold and generously designed by nature.
She eats or acaricides will it does on his knees and was climbing the m
by the muscular legs. Rising slightly, bei jou the inner thighs, first with the l will
bios only, then with al ngua. When alcan or member, this was even harder than
before.

She slid al very lightly ngua on every contour and detail of that rigidity,
then retracing the route back. He growled low, and she knew she was asking too
much of the cat. But didn`t care. At that moment, I had complete control over him
and his masculinity, and nothing could be sweeter than that.
As it already did some time since Mitch had trusted a woman enough to lev
will -la to bed, didn`t take much longer for it to explode. And that didn`t was any
woman: it was Sissy. He didn`t had noticed at is ent how much time was
struggling against his tio the attraction for her. How much I wanted her. And now
the Possu , and she was driving him crazy.
Groaning, Mitch stuck his fingers in Sissy's hair, pulling her closer. He held
her tight, while a cl e max long and had very restrained the ran of the head to the O
p s is.
Sissy grabbed the s his legs, his mouth still around his cock, sucking him.
Finally, at the end, Mitch let out a sigh of pleasure and fell panting on the couch
will, interrom pendo contact f musician.
Sissy is also m relaxed, sitting on his heels. If he was annoyed that he didn`t
have warned what would, didn`t showed.
Mitch sat, elbows on his knees, and stared at her. It was so at is her face
blush and she looked away.
Ah, the benef e ness of being a cop!
Mitch got to his feet and is invited to her feet is also m.
Smiling, she stood slowly. Was confident again, in control because he was
aroused again, and Sissy knew without d life that he wanted. Mitch could see in
her face, the way he moved.

- What it was? - She asked, kind, is now fully p.

He stroked the face with your fingertips, gentle mind. Sissy's eyes eats
plow to close, but it balan or fit to and tried to retreat.
Mitch put a m them in Sissy's neck, maintains the her in place as he
approached, until it feels her skin touching her. They stared at each other, as the
predators who were trying to find out who was stronger, more powerful.
And then the both smiled, because at that time, none of that mattered.
Mitch kissed her, one of the m still in his neck, the other down behind your back
at sn is to reach the will of gas. Then OA brought closer, and when Sissy felt ere
ction him pressing his belly, didn`t endured more.
Sissy open or at the neck, enla walk her waist with her legs. The m
huge held her down while his mouth crushed hers and he sat on the couch will,
taking her with him.
He, who always seemed t distant of all, a le on made, without a bunch
pr O prio, made her feel she was there full body. That amounted to a strong afrodis
steel for both.
Sissy stroked her shoulders, back, in an endless kiss, at which Mitch is
turned, pushed her to the couch and will crouched in front of her. Pulling her hips,
he lifted her, taking it to the edge of the sofa will. Sissy put the m the backward s
will for support as he positioned for penetr will -la.
When he did, with a single invested, Sissy gasped with pleasure. Even
better was the way he was im vel O for a while, the ere ction throbbing inside her.
He was t the Large she felt a pang of pain ... and loved it.
- Look at me.

Sissy looked up. His tusks were exposed, his eyes were those of a cat. Ent
o realized that his pr O prey Pippen is also m were so, and that his eyes
provavelmen you were a wolf. Worse, she loosened her grip, and was tearing the
couch you favorite m e.
But didn`t care. Buy another couch will later. Well then.
A Mitch's mouth corner stood, and Sissy was astonished by the size of his
prey. J will the'd seen before, but never naked and making love. Maybe I should be
afraid, but didn`t was. o t I was excited that didn`t could think.
Mitch eats or move within it, and Sissy growled softly, rejoicing in freeing
her wolf while Mitch is penetrated with a . He didn`t hold back, nor Sissy wanted
it. The eyes of both were still fixed on each other, all the time while Sissy
destroyed to sof will the m Mitch and and clung to it as if your life depended on
it.
When the whole body Sissy eats or shaking, she worried a bit. Your
orgasms had always been direct and simple. Arrived, she gasped, squirmed a little,
sighed and smiled. She was glad, your partner is also m, and all was well in the
world. But that ... that was making something out of control and dangerous. Your
body is on fire va, sweat dripped, her moans had turned into cries staccato, and she
didn`t could contain the tremor. And all the while, Mitch watched.
That's what the most affected. The expression on his face o, hunger in his
eyes. He plunged the body of Sissy times incont ble, and she was lan ada al m is
the limit, the whole body tensing while ...
The cry that he yanked Sissy didn`t was not remotely human mind, and she
was grateful no one is m live close enough to hear, sen would call the sheriff.

Mitch answered the cry of Sissy with a roar. He roared, shook and exploded.
When it was over, she fell on her, crushing her against the will couch.
The sweaty bodies remained together at is the gs breathes and pulsates gs
return to normal.
At some point, Mitch left her and slid the tea o, with his back to the couch
will. Ble Desconfort the couch will now all torn, Sissy sat beside him.
For a few minutes, no one is m speak. Sissy knew I had to do some cleanup
before they left and their parents return, or your m and kill her.
Finally, after about ten minutes, Mitch broke sil is ncio, with more rom
phrase ntica Sissy j will'd heard:
- It was not your fault.
She leaned forward, staring at him.
- As well, my fault?
He pushed wet hair face, unsure if would recover from that orgasm.
- Only is en O s both know it. Sighing, she nodded.
- I see. - Sissy slid his finger on the Celtic tattoo that covered ob left ceps
Mitch. - I like that.
- Thank you - he muttered, not knowing what to do next.
- Help took aim ...
Ent o, that deceptively small fist hit the site covered by the tattoo.
- AAAI! What is this ?! - He turned to tr s will to jump.
- This ... is your fault!
Sissy stood up, and Mitch did the same.

- Why is it my fault? Youre one who can suck the life of a man with his sex!
- But didn`t am who walks the e parading a member of envy to a stallion o!
Raising am o, Mitch asked:
- Wait ... why are we fighting?
Sissy thought for a moment and then o snapped his fingers.
- I already know! We are feeling stuck in a trap.
- You think?
- Of course! We need rules ...
- Rules?
- Yes, we need clear lines, borders. I'm all for boundaries. - And to
demonstrate, he drew a square in the air with your fingers.
- Of course, borders. - Mitch shrugged, still not understanding what she
wanted. - What else?
Rubbing m them, Sissy eat or to walk from one side to the other, but each
time she walked away, all that Mitch was paying attention ction was his back. I
was talking to him again!
- Al is m making love, no affection signal ction is per mitted. E n O sn
the'll leave together in rom nticos meetings. Youre also is mn o will bring me
flowers.
- Not bonbons?
- Also it is mn o we exaggerate! - She was at the door and is returned. Let's keep it simple and uncomplicated. N o matter how sex is Ghost will stico,

will never pass it. - From p is before him, she put the m the hips. - Do you know
why qu is, Mitchell?
- Why Quality is Sissy sighed dramatically and rolled her eyes.
- Why does this need to keep simple and uncomplicated?
- I'm sure you know, but right now I'm t excited I can hardly speak.
Sissy grabbed his face between m them.
- Because youre, Mitchell, need a simple and uncomplicated woman. To
prefer is INSTANCE, human. And I need a man who can control. Ent o, didn`t
matter what happen! a, didn`t we let it get out of hand. Right?
And she had reason o. Sissy was the kind of woman who could Deix will it
does t the prisoner who could never leave. She was sexy, demanding, imprevis
ble and inst ble. If didn`t eat was an O of any trouble, I was in the middle of one.
It was beautiful and dangerous, predatory cream.
But even worse: he was leaving. N o just Smithtown, but also is m all he
liked, including Sissy. So testify, his whole life would change, and it would just be
a good and strange souvenir a. So I had to follow the rules and stay within the
limits.
But he was smart enough to know that none of it good would. Because they
didn`t be very careful, lose his tio blush to the woman, and probably would arre tip
for life.
- N o we can leave out of control - he repeated for Sissy.
- Do you agree?
- Yes.
- Good.

She pulled in dire ction to the bathroom, and Mitch followed. Sissy stopped
in front of the mirror, and he open or three will come or kiss her neck him, as
he stroked her breasts.
Minutes later, when Sissy screamed his name and arched to again achieve
the cl e max, Mitch knew that both were in the biggest problem in their lives.

Ronnie got up on the chair, lowering the O sunglasses at is the tip of the
nose.
- Please tell that youre didn`t made the speech on limits for him.
- Of course I did.
- Drew one square rid culo, is also m?
- Visual aid. Knows that men s much more visual than women.
Ronnie O pushed the glasses back and sprawled in the chair.
- Why do I still bother with you is?
- Because I am one of the few people who tolerate.
- Well noted. I suppose he has agreed?
- It is O obvious yes.
Dee, who burned easily, spent more protective.
- As well, it is obvious O?
- Because he knows me a little is better than nothing.
- Not at all unsafe, huh?
Sissy thought for a moment before answering:

- N o, whit.
Ronnie the cut:
- It s O my imagination ction, or Mitch will're getting bigger? When Sissy
raised an eyebrow and Dee just stared at her, Ronnie balan or fit a. - N o
accordingly! I'm talking in general.
- The way he has eaten, should be even greater. Dee lowered the bon is
shielding her face.
- It will keep the Gil dist INSTANCE.
- We return to this subject?
- And who can forget his first?
- I could, if you're sn Y our stay all the time remembering.
Ronnie bit ol will bio.
- You know what worries me? I wonder what he plans to do. Youre seems
didn`t understand its value to a hungry wolf for power.
- What you're talking about?
- Remember all the rumors about their mating m and and his father?
- Yes, but that is nonsense.
- But Gil is too dumb to know it.
- Do you think he could try for air one mating?
- N o think you're above it. But I never liked or trusted him.
Sissy didn`t had thought of that. Matings for ed were rare, but the Smiths
were known to use it from time to time. There were historic holiday O including

Smith wolves who had died while trying for one f air is stronger mea them. And
most of them didn`t imagine trying it with Sissy, but Gil was quite desperate ...
- I'll be careful.
- That's all I Standing O o - Ronnie replied, grabbing a beer in Styrofoam.

- Youre and Sissy sa ram escaped through the bar yesterday. Are you okay?
- Are you asking if we did wild sex all night?
- A simple "you're all right," it would have been enough, you know?
- Yes, but didn`t would t Y our fun, bro.
The brothers were the p is in front of the open refrigerator.
- Are you to cook?
- Not even a little. And you?
- N o.
- Cereals - said in un ssono, starting to arm a rio pr ximo O, which took all
the boxes and put on the table.
Brendon took bowls and spoons, while Mitch poured the milk. In half an
hour, they had finished with all the cereal and milk of Reed house.
- So youre o s have fun?
- Yes. But we have defined borders. - And Mitch designed the square with
her fingers.
- What the hell is this thing?
- The limits of it. Sissy like visual support. Brendon shrugged.

- Anyway ... And it was like for you is? Mitch shrugged.
- Well, youre know, Sissy is an optimal O friend, but I have to be honest ... He leaned forward, inviting the brother him to do the same. - That woman left me
exhausted!
- Glad to have approached me to hear that.
- Tonto.
- You think you can get s is river with her?
- N o know. That didn`t may be permanent, Brendon. Even if I wanted to.
- Do you think she didn`t would move to Ohio for you is?
- Even if she did, I would never ask that. It is a pet will greg river. I'm glad
that Ronnie is here because Sissy didn`t d will be fine on my own.
- So o youre never take away the pack.
- I would do that with Ronnie? Brendon denied.
- N o. N o matter how often find lurking around our apartment, or waking up
in the middle of the morning to see if there's something good in the refrigerator.
- See? Youre understand. I have to respect the boundaries of Sissy, even if
diff e cil. - And he will already knew it would be quite diff e cil.
Mitch looked at the empty boxes.
- Mano ... I'm still hungry.
- I'm wasting away!
- Fresh or cooked food?
- Want to try something fresh?

Mitch got up and left the kitchen to the balcony. V will Deer rivers were
less than fifteen meters from them. Smiling, invited:
- Meal ction well ahead!

* * *
Travis entered the house of parents and sniffed the air. N o m had no one is
there, but the house reeked of cat and sex.
Hell! The girl simply didn`t managed to keep her legs closed. And the cat
had utility, the majority of the river will contr his esp is cie. A utility that he didn`t
dis was put to see Sissy spoil, messing with the head the subject the same way he
did with everyone, forever.
Travis didn`t hated brother , o n the way she thought. But also I am mn
o liked her. Sissy never recognized him as the strongest of the brother , s O did it
for aborrec is it. She liked aborrec is it does, to cause trouble. And if she left the
city, never to return, Travis didn`t shed a l will grima. She had daughters and
materials, didn`t see much need for a sister .
It would have to observ will her from close. She could use the cat in his
favor, and Travis didn`t wanted Sissy had nothing going for there. N o could
afford.
Travis left the team's matches book on table baked nha, with a message for
Mitch review everything before training that night. When he left, Donnie was
coming from the forest and the calling.
- Need to see this!

Common annoyance sigh, Travis followed. As they passed forest

boundaries, near the lake, Travis stopped suddenly.
- Oh my!
- I know.
Observed m the brother Shaw participating in a tug-of-war with a
crocodile, for what seemed like a deer. The animal still struggling, but that didn`t
contained the brother or the crocodile.
- I'm noticing a fit of madness gene, head - Donnie muttered.
- You think?
Slowly, the Smith retreated into the woods. Moved into sil is ncio, hoping
that no one involved the notice. When they reached the car, directed at the
workshop is in sil is ncio.
Sissy was amused when two le ns covered in blood came running. One had
half a deer in the mouth, the other tried to take.
- I bet walked fighting with Ralph again. Ronnie looked at her,
- Why do you think that is?
- They didn`t would fight for half a deer. Mitch would take half Brendon
each other, and both were happy.
- Got it. What you're going to do when he finds out you're falling in love
with Mitch?
- Give a punch in youre.
- Good to know.

Brendon was the prey, and Mitch knocked him down, both fighting like pit
bulls by a ball. The other wolves that bronzeavam observed in sil is ncio while
Ronnie and Sissy discussed plans for after dinner O so football practice. When the
brothers left for the the neck of each other, Ronnie asked Sissy:
- Where did Dee?
- Oh, you know it is, it's practically a ghost. Disappears whenever you feel
like. And she's good at it, or I perceive it out.
The sister the must have run out, as both collapsed beside the two, panting,
covered in blood and looking very happy.
- Except for the attempted murder of Mitch, this is f holiday est good fun. When all stared at her wide-eyed, she reiterated: - I said except for that.
- Yes, she said it.
Mitch rubbed his mane leg Sissy, who looked express the revulsion.
- Youre will're spreading blood in me.
It was then he endeavored even to do that.
Sissy sighed.
- Why do I even try?

The training was going well, except that everyone is facing rem and Brendon
Mitch, and Mitch didn`t did id is going the subject. Yes, he was the picture of
perfection ction men, but j will come walk was getting weird.
He left the field and was at is Sissy, who handed him a bottle of water will.
It was a hot day, and he was covered in sweat. But like the way she looked at him.

- His sister the est staring Brendon and me. You think they turned gay
suddenly?
- I wish I at least would be more interes santes. But I think they saw the
fighting with Ralph.
- N o was a fight. He didn`t let go of the deer, and we were n o s the ca O
masters. It was ours!
- Honey, me I always esque the youre supposed to be smarter than the
crocodile, which will j s o le is the half the time.
- I did not understand.
- Of course not.
Sissy stood up, and Mitch smiled when he noticed she wore another short.
But even better: that was all she was wearing, al m is the biqu e ni.
She took the empty bottle from him and said quietly:
- Meet me in the bathroom of visitors in three lish minutes. And he went out.
Mitch cleared his throat and looked around. Were at an inter val, all going to
get isot unique and will gua polystyrene on the sides of the field.
- Atr will s the stands - Ronnie warned, his eyes on the field.
She lifted the am to wave to Brendon.
- I think this didn`t is the first time you do it, right?
Ronnie looked at him and winked.
- Youre t is the fluffy, Mitch Shaw ...

* * *

Sissy came with ajeitadas clothes. But didn`t could do anything with your
hair. From what you heard already, its always cuts made her seem to have just
gotten out of bed.
Ronnie was waiting for her, leaning against the wall.
- God is c u, youre's two ...
Sissy smiled.
- What can i do? The guy knows me excited.
- Yeah, I see.
The friends returned to their seats, turning in the field, j will that training had
recomme ado.
- I'll have to pick up the pieces of heart ction him when this is over?
- I doubt it.
- Youre say that, but didn`t know, didn`t ...
Both looked at Mitch in the middle of the field. He seemed to hear, and his
gaze met Sissy. He smiled, and that was when the ball hit the side of your head to
. The two saw him fall back, after O s fly half a meter.
- Oops ...
- Youre the est will distracting. And you'll hear about it. As if this was his
cue, Travis is trotted at them.
- What youre done with the cat?
Sissy opened his mouth, but Ronnie interrupted:
- Sissy Mae! She closed her mouth.
- Youre promised he would play - Travis reminded her.

- And he's playing you.

- Play well, Sissy Mae. Ten minutes with you is, and he ... Everyone turned
the dire ction of the feline, which had just been overtaken by one of the slowest
players on the team. Sissy tossed her hair backwards you went to the seats.
- Already understood. I will keep myself to dist INSTANCE.
V will several hours later, after of Sissy fulfill his promise, or attempt to
carry it out, they were both in the kitchen.
Mitch had already eaten the zebra will roast that Sissy had prepared for him,
and is also ma huge bowl of macaroni what was served. Was settling that didn`t
could attack her dish when asked:
- Youre and his brother o have always been that way with each other?
Sissy wiped his mouth with the paper napkin.
- Mam and told me that when I was still in ber the , Travis was at is she
saying that didn`t liked me, and I stared at him.
- Was it true?
- She didn`t know whether to believe him, then o eating or watching me.
When my father came, I laughed and shook the the m and p is s. For Sammy and
Bobby Ray, I extended the m them. Jack and Donnie ... I eat ava laughing, and
my m and said I j will seemed to be making fun of them. But when Travis came
in, I immediately stopped what they were doing and stood staring. Stared at him is
out of the room. And didn`t fell asleep he was in the room, unless he was in the lap
of my hand and or my father.
- His instincts s the impressive.
- At Sometimes didn`t has op tio, if you want to survive.

- It was because of him that youre left?

- To New York?
- N o. At eighteen, with Ronnie,
- She was eighteen, I was nineteen. And left because no one is m here never
goes away. I mean, they are at v him to other cities to f Smith is holiday:
Smithburg, Smithville, Smith County. M the ever wanted to know more. I knew
when I was five years would travel, see the world. Sm i thtown didn`t is all but try
telling that to my father.
- I never traveled, but always wanted.
She pushed her empty plate. He loved to talk about travel.
- Where youre going? Mitch shrugged.
- N o know. Anywhere, I think.
- Where j you been?
- Never sa East Coast.
Sissy leaned back in his chair.
- S is the river?
- Yes. And here it is the further south you will already have been, taking
Disneyworld.
Sissy laughed.
- Well, dear, you have to take is to give a few laps.
- Where would take me first? She thought for a moment.

- I eat aria slowly. It would take youre to Ireland. They talk ingl lish is also
m, and youre could seek his fam read. And the es le l s will very simp will
ticos.
- It is one of the places where youre can still enter?
- Ah, yes. Bobby Ray helped me pay this fine will h years. And it would take
for the sia also is m. The largest cities, to eat air. T O Quio, Beijing, Hong
Kong. That sort of thing.
- How about the color is going?
- Yes. - Sissy wrinkled her nose. - Maybe didn`t now. In ten years, you
know, I could ... ask.
- Wait. Are you talking about the color is going to North or South?
- Of the two.
- What a shame. - Mitch looked at his empty bowl. - I think we have to find
what to do, j will that didn`t we can go neither color is ias, and youre finally
finished eating.
Sissy pushed his chair back and stood up.
- Dev masters sleep - suggested, laughing.
- Later.
He walked around the table and pushed Sissy against the refrigerator. With a
bra the supported there, the other slid down her body, fitting am o in one breast,
causing the nipple with your fingers. Sissy groaned as he reached the m them to
him.
- Al is m that - he muttered, kneeling slowly - I didn`t said I had finished
everything.

Jen Lin Chow, Assistant Filad the state prosecution is lfia and a shifter
Leopard, parked the car alu cattle in lime ada next to the police station and out
into the sweltering heat of Tennessee.
Jesus, what he was doing there in s will bado?
I knew what he was doing there. I was trying to save you. The biggest case
of his career, and the most dangerous. N o was f cil will knock ol der of an
organization ction mafia. And with a acu sa ction of first-degree murder, witnessed
by an undercover police officer. It should have been perfect, but its main witness,
in which the entire case was based, was now hiding in only place where he would
be safe from humans, but under constant threat to a bunch of can videos.
Grown up hearing about the packs Smith, and the cities run by them. Could
count on the fingers of one m o those among them who accepted all species is
esp. The others were exclusively canine, and Smithtown was. It was directed by
such a Bubba Ray Smith. Although unknown to most of the world, the
shapeshifters he was known to be very didn`t est ble. But didn`t Smith were many
who could be called normal.
Giving back in the car and off to the lime ada clean, Jen wondered how
people could live like this. She needed the big city, where nothing was boring. Live
there let her crazy. At midday, there was pouqu ssimas people on the street. And
all very quiet.
How can this be normal?
Jen opened the police station front door and sighed with pleasure when the
air-conditioning cold hit. Going will l, fears that ra Smithtown didn`t Possu e iff

the charms of civilization ction: air conditioning, phones, bathrooms in the house
...
- Will Ol! - She called loudly. When didn`t get a response, he sniffed the air,
but all I felt was the smell of dog. To be honest, didn`t could differentiate one can
deo another, and neither wanted to try. - Is there anybody there?
- Can I help you?
Jen had to contain for didn`t give a startled jump. N o was id is going to
where the wolf had sa , but she was very quiet.
- Yes, I ol. - She turned to face is f m with a of their smiles for ed. - I am
the Writers O river the prosecution of Filad is lfia.
- I see.
- I'm looking for Mitch Shaw.
- Oh yes?
- Yes. I know he's will here, but didn`t know where speci cally. Youre
expected, or someone is m his Writers O river could help me.
Slowly, the wolf was in dire ction of Jen. As he approached, he sniffed it,
and Jen could bet that if it failed, it is also m would smell her ass.
The woman grunted and was at is one of the desks. Collapsed on one of the
chairs ep s is the p s huge on the table before taking a cell. Dialed someone is Jen
stared at me as he spoke to the person.
- Ol you, it's me. Someone is m will're here to talk to Mitch. That.
Then she hung o, put the phone on the table and kept looking at Je n. After
about three lish minutes didn`t ag entou more.

- So o ...
- He'll come if you see fit.
Jen didn`t understand what that meant, and had graduated with honors.
- I didn`t can go at is it? I drive ...
- N o.
She barely contain himself for didn`t drop fangs and growling.
- You can sit - the wolf said, after turning on the tev is on the table in front
of her. - It may take a while for him to get here.
- Why?
The wolf looked just before returning to pay attention ction on TV is.
Taking a deep breath, Jen was at is a row of chairs will sticas pl. There he
sat, crossed his legs and waited.

For Sissy, s O had one thing worse than a rich bitch, snobbish and
bluestocking, he thought was better than the others: a rich, snobbish and
bluestocking feline, who was better than the others.
As they entered the Writers O River sheriff, Jen Chow was p is eager to
leave.
- The est will youre! I thought I didn`t would ever get.
- Sorry, I'm late.
Yes. As a r rupted will shower had turned into a time-consuming enough, so
Mitch buried the head between the thighs of Sissy.

God, but the man was insaci ble, and Sissy didn`t bother less about that. On
more than one occasion o, had been accused of being "e di cult to please." Often
because the man was tired m uch before it. When did twenty years given up once
human, j will that didn`t had the hope that they pudes not keep pace. The wolves
were better, but even with them had heard more than once: "Youre didn`t ever
sleep?"
Mitch was the first to keep up your pace, Sissy realized now that this historic
O limits would work in his favor. It would be very f cil will get involved with
someone like Mitch is m. A completely InControl man ble. And the ns le were the
worst esp is cie, always wanting the world to sustain them.
As Sissy didn`t provia for no one is al m m is itself, that would be a
problem.
But it was smart. Established limits and Mitch knew the respect. Mainly
because I wanted the same thing she: sex of the highest quality.
Still, seeing Jen talk to Mitch, it is with no bra o his, Sissy had that
sensation ction on again. Ci me. What made her very upset.
Chow pointed to one of the rooms interrogat O river.
- Let's talk. In particular - she added, looking at Sissy.
- Of course. - Mitch followed, looking for a glimpse of Sissy and warning: j will be back.
She nodded, feigned a smile and sat down to wait.
- That New York detective Mick ... something? Mitch effort or up to be
patient. He had forgotten how needed it to handle Jen.
- Are you talking about Desiree MacDermot?

- Yes, pr would put O, She believes this lioness had trains military ment.
- It makes sense.
She rummaged in his briefcase.
- investigate some names and e mos excluded the deceased or to serve ...
and the left over these four. Jen put four photos on the table.
- Recognizes any of them? Mitch balan or fit a.
- N o. But this one is cute.
- Detective - she sighed. - Focus.
- S O was doing a river will coment. - He smiled, and Jen studied him for a
moment.
- Youre looks more healthy ble.
- I'm eating better. And exercising me.
- That's how they call it here?
- I'm on the football team.
- In time ... - Jen walked away from the table and stood up, going from one
side to the other. - You understand that is the case, all depends on youre?
- Yes, and I'm still alive. Ent o, I didn`t know what you're complaining.
- This n of the holiday is for you is to stay , playing with c es,
detective.
Slowly, Mitch rose,
- And I almost died. And if didn`t were not for that dog out there, he would
have died. Ent see him and speak of such personnel. I hate that my mem O would
fail.

Jen raised his m them and stepped back. He had risen so much in his career
just by knowing when to push and when to back off.
- I'm sorry if I offended you. And I think a good id is going to stay here for
now. They will already were on top of me so I passed the sign of "Welcome". I'm
sure didn`t would do less than that for any cat that between this city.
Ap s half an hour, Sissy realized that the "j will come back" could be
relative, and walked away from the table, leaving the pr dio is. It was a day t peak
see Y our Tennessee, warm and windless. Down the main street, watching the
windows and seeing if there was anything he wanted to buy. But with most of their
money going to feed ction the huge feline, didn`t had many reser vas at is the O pr
ximo payment. But loved window shopping, and when I was in a state of esp evil
rite, could always put in the account and m,
When Sissy went down the alley and heard a noise, pre disappeared it was
Uncle Eggie diving into the new garbage. But as he approached, he found his aunt
Juju will atr s the trash.
- Tia Juju! - She was crouched to the side the lady.
- Honey, what's he doing here?
Poor Aunt! ... I'd have been crazy for a long time, but Sissy had never found
wandering alone. Someone is the m e fam lia was always taking care of her.
Sissy had heard the rumor that she had lost ju s O e zo after going against
Grandpa O Smith, daring her many years before Sissy or its sister them were
born.
So maybe I feel a closeness to Juju Aunt without even knowing if she
recognized her or didn`t.

- Go to c wing, honey.
She reached the am for aunt, but m stronger than she expected to held by
the shoulders, and eyes that almost never abandoned his apar is wolf INSTANCE
stared at her.
- Is Sissy I'm looking for. I need to see is -la.
- I'm right here, Auntie. Me, Sissy. - But she knew that her aunt would never
see al is m of his madness.
- Youre have to avis will -la to be careful. That bitch on the hill want. She
wants because too afraid of it. I the or the calling for her.
Sissy doubted Grandpa O Smith, and her aunts, the feared.
But didn`t saw no reason to argue with Juju aunt in an alley. Helping her to
her p's, Sissy said,
- I'll tell her, I promise.
- That bitch hates the little girl, and am and hated it. Hate both the same.
It was true, but didn`t Sissy was nothing he could do about it. Instead, he
took her aunt there. When they reached the lime ada, he searched for someone is
m to take care of her aunt as she returned to the Writers O River sheriff to tell
where it was.
When looking at the street, he saw Patty Rose leave a gift shop on the
corner.
- Hey, Patty Rose!
The wife of the brother froze. He turned slowly to Sissy, the dazzling
smile.

- Sissy Mae? What are you doing here?

- Waiting Mitch. Look, youre could take care of Juju aunt for a while? I need
to tell Mitch that I am going lev will -la home.
- Oh, I'll take - offered to another, picking up her aunt by the bra .
- Are you sure?
- You can go. I will love lev will -la.
- All right, then o.
Sissy smiled at her aunt. There had been a time when she was tall and
powerful as all f is meas Smith. But l will be what had devoured his mind, he
seemed to have done the same with your body.
- And, take care of yourself, Juju aunt. - Sissy leaned slightly and kissed the
forehead of the lady,
Juju didn`t used to like the touch, and was only a gesture oj will impulsiv
she was t the close.
Instead of pushing Sissy as he did all that too approached, however, Juju
blinked, and his eyes went back to being human.
- Sweet girl - she said, patting the shoulder of Sissy. - Sugar. N o is no
wonder that they fear. Use this gift, Sissy, when needed. It may be the only thing
save your ction blush.
She left, and Patty Rose was soon atr s will. When Patty tried to put the bra
around Juju, the old wolf away to the tapas.
Sissy tried to forget the strangeness of lies tio o come or- if, bumping into
him.

- Ol will, Sissy.
She sighed. Al m is to be distracted of the bastard had been against the
wind. Hidden Viera.
- Gil. - She raised her face to look at him. N o had to raise as much as did
with Mitch, which suddenly made Gil seem quietly. - Why are you always hanging
around you? N o has more to do? N o work?
- Of course yes. I have a neg O heat pr O prio now. A workshop, didn`t far
from here.
Crossing the bra them, Sissy shot: - A workshop? As my sister o?
- N o be upset. It's right across the city, far away from your sister o,
If Smithtown had a thousand quil meters extension o, maybe to calm
down. But Smithtown was small, and it was the fam e read it they were talking
about. Even as that of Travis fret.
- You really think is going to get, didn`t it?
- Achieving Quality is?
- Take the power in Smithtown. Become alpha male.
- That is ...
- N o lie to me, Gil Warren.
He approached, intense eyes.
- And if that's what I want, Sissy Mae? Imagine What can we do together.
She snorted with contempt. After sniffed, his eyes Narrows ing.
- I was talking to Patty Rose?
- I met her at the gift shop.

- Oh yes? And what youre doing in a shop as well? For if I remember

correctly, didn`t is accustomed to giving gifts.
- I was just ...
The words died in l will bios Gil when he was lan ado face on the brick
wall will atr's where they were. The worst part was didn`t Mitch t pushed it does is
actually Sissy had the distinct impression that the Mitch had not noticed Gil. I
was just taking it out of the way when you peg it does the neck and will jog it does
on the wall.
- Is ready? - Mitch asked, at ease.
Sissy looked around, not surprised to have atra e ction of the attention of all.
They were probably hoping Sissy rub the tea with Gil, but at least this time she
didn`t need to do anything.
- Yes I am. Youre sj will eventually?
- J will. But I would like a sandu e che ... or two.
- N o is poss ble you're hungry again.
- Youre keeps repeating it like I'm going to change my id is.
Sissy grabbed his and am sa ram. N o was id is going to what had
happened to Gil after they moved away, and to be honest, j is at will had forgotten
him.

CHAPTER IV

The coffee is was hot and tasty, and sandu ches, good and tired. But it was
the company that made Mitch smile.
Sissy j will'd just your single sandu che, and now puts va op is on the
chair and drank her coffee is.
- And before you ask is, they still didn`t know who she is. - Mitch bit his
sandu e che. - It is a mystery river.
- Thank you for the beautiful view of your snack half chewed.
- Sorry, honey.
The bell over the door rang, and a known wolf came.
- Miss. Janette. - Ap s clean the mouth, Mitch got up and kissed her cheek.
- It's good to see is -la again.
- It's always nice to see you is, dear. - She gestured for him to come back to
sit before smiling at her niece.
- Sissy Mae.
- Aunt Janette. What do you want?
- What makes you think I want something?
- Aunt Janette!
- What is that ... - She indicated the lateral Mitch's body.
- May I take a look at it?

Mitch shrugged, and she pulled the shirt to look at the injury. He pressed the
skin with your fingers and nodded.
- Est will be healing well. His m and did a good tra balho: - She sat down,
and the gar onete put a great guy x of coffee is before her. - But those bites all
hinder rather a vis o.
Mitch almost choked on the sandu e che. Aunt and niece smiled at each
other.
- I knew there was something when I saw youre's two in marriage. These
eyes didn`t lose anything. I have the eyes of a wolf ... I would say.
This time he choked, but laughing. Sissy smiled.
- We're still s O good friends. And just that.
Janette looked at Mitch.
- She made the speech about limits, didn`t do?
- Complete with visual.
- Men need the visual - Sissy shot. - And try to chew with your mouth
closed.
- Will tame our little Sissy, Mitchell?
Sissy rubbed his face wearily, and Mitch answered sincere:
- I'm too lazy to try to tame oso someone is m. If all I had my way, I'd be
all day under a tree will perhaps rolling occasionally to brown belly, and someone
is m taking me food. I could live like this forever.
Janette laughed, tilting the head backward will the O's.
- I like youre, Mitchell Shaw. It's funny.

He offered some of his potatoes, magnetic nimo, but she refused.

- Youre sj will eat dessert?
- Forget the O - said Sissy, with much see is NCIA than was necessary a rio.
- Oh, come on you, Sissy Mae t ... He's the cute! - Janette Debru or up
and Mitch pinched the cheek. - N o want some pie, Mitchell Shaw?
- N o, he didn`t want.
- What kind of pie? - Mitch imagined Sissy didn`t want to go is at her aunt's
house. And didn`t could not blame will -la, to sometimes, it was the worst thing get
stuck with relatives.
- In any type. Sissy didn`t tell you about our shop? Mitch froze.
- Youre st m is one pie shop?
- Best Pies South, dear.
- How come youre didn`t tell me? Sissy balan or fit a.
- Youre gonna regret, Janette aunt.
Mitch Shaw didn`t had no shame, really. Sissy knew as they entered the
store aunts, and he knelt in front of the refrigerated display case. He p s the m
them on the glass, and looked at each pie like a child to .
- ... I didn`t can decide. - He gasped.
As if he needed to decide ... He could wipe out everything that was in that
window and still be hungry again in an hour.
- Youre sv Y our regret - Sissy reiterated to aunts, making them laugh.
- Where do I eat the ? - Mitch asked. He looked at Sissy. - What's your
favorite?

That was a question diff e cil. At the pies is that didn`t eat normally, if they
were made by aunts, she devoured. Were t the popular will that j v am is
considering opening a second store in a neutral location so that all species could
esp is freq entar without eats air the fights usually occurred when they went at
it Smithtown.
- Cherry.
- Really?
- Trust me.
- I trust - he said, and Sissy saw aunts exchange glances. I hated it when they
did that; It meant they were up to something. And always ended in trouble.
- A slice of cherry, please.
Sissy came to Mitch, who had finally lifted.
- T Y our educated ...
- I am always polite to those who deserve it.
- Mitch, darling, sit here, en O s serve your slice and milk. What about?
- Perfect. - He turned to Sissy. - See how it works?
- So o, Sissy ... - Give it leaned his elbows on the balc in front of her,
leaning in dire ction niece.
- Yes, aunt give her?
- I heard that youre been round and round the city with Clyde.
- Mitch wanted cognitiv is it.
- Youre miss, didn`t it? Could drive t or as fast as you want without
nobody is m pair will -la.

The Sissy's smile faded, realizing where the aunts wanted to reach.
- N o!
- No what?
- N o fa if the innocent with me. I know what youre s want but can forget.
Francine pushed a lemon pie slice o for Sissy.
- Now, darling ...
- N o give me "darling". N o'll do, forget it. And youre ss O est o asking
me that after all this time because mam en est will here.
- Your m o en has f is in their skills, but n o s, yes. Sissy balan or fit
a.
- That was below the belt. Francine hit the m them in the balc.
- Oh, we will l, Sissy! Fa after O rn s.
- N o. - Sissy took his pie and glass of milk Roberta handed him.
- Come on, Sissy! Fa to the city.
- N o is sufficient to put the poor Mitch playing against the Bears?
All looked to the "poor" Mitch, which seemed almost org will septic eating
cherry pie slice.
- Mitch didn`t league. He understands loyalty.
Sissy looked at Francine.
- This is wickedness. And I didn`t can do, unless Ronnie ...
- She will already agreed, as well as Dee.

Sissy put food on the table and sat down. Once he leaned against the chair,
had a plate and an empty glass before him.
- That was my - growled.
Mitch growled and continued eating.
- Well, with Ronnie and Dee, youre sn Y our need me.
- You know we need. - Francine sat in fren you Sissy. - N o s is O speed we
need to deal with the pack of Barron.
Sissy nudged bra the Mitch.
- Youre not care if they put me against one of his lionesses flocks?
Mitch took another forkful of pie to his mouth.
- This band makes pies t Y our tasty as these? Francine smiled.
- Not nearly.
- So o, didn`t care. Now didn`t bother me.
Give it came and poured more tr s pie dishes for Mitch.
- This is chocolate cream, this is Boston cream, and this is nuts. And if you
want to try some other, or take one or two home, it s O say.
Roberta put a gal the milk on the table.
- To didn`t we need to get going ev oltando. Mitch looked at Sissy.
- Fa to anything these gentle goddesses ask him, and be happy about it!
Sissy rubbed his eyes, m nimo for didn`t see the smug smile aunts.
Cheaters.

- The pr O xima time, didn`t agree to anything before talking to me! - Sissy
shot early in the morning following while Travis crossed the yard to reach the
two huge barns he had behind the house.
- It's not my fault. It is Shaw. They bribed with the pie!
- They must be the brother the weakest in the world - Sissy growled. He
looked at Dee. - What's your excuse?
She shrugged.
- Mam and asked.
Sissy sighed and opened the doors of Travis barn. They were still there: s tr
is racing cars would envy to a Nascar driver. And clearly his brother had care of
them. The three is s shining, and when Sissy opened the cap s, the engines
seemed perfect.
- You think we can increase the pot is their INSTANCE? - Ronnie asked, am
the sliding on the car.
- N o hurt none.
Sissy didn`t cared to play with cars. N o had a lot of opportunity for that
living in New York, and Bobby Ray didn`t left approaching the truck. N o by
didn`t trust her, but panic when she offered to do a test drive.
Sissy looked at the O rel gio before tying the hair.
- We have three lish days to make these little beauties sing. So, to work!

Mitch agreed with a weight falling on the bed beside her. He turned, smiling
at Sissy. He looked at the rel gio O on the nightstand: almost two in the morning .
N on him to turn all day and had felt homesick. Really miss ...

- Ol will, benz ...

- Touch me, and I pull her bra them.
He took a moment to realize that Sissy didn`t clothes exchanged, nor had
taken bath. And before he could find out what was wrong, she will already was
snoring.
Frowning, Mitch looked at a tio ere what watering dara for hours.
- Do not look at me. N o is my fault, were those wicked women and their
pies.
then reminded him that there was pies in the refrigerator. Well, if didn`t
could have sex ...
Brendon looked at his sister o as they waited in the workout rut. Mitch
seemed very well lately. More healthy ble, stronger, happier ... except now. Was
estra nhamente grumpy.
- What will h wrong with you is?
- Nothing. - Mitch snapped the neck it. - But I'll tell you, food didn`t
replaces sex. At least didn`t good sex.
Ah! Now Brendon understand.
- Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Ronnie was exhausted when he
arrived last night. Barely had energy for a round.
Mitch turned slowly for the brother o, and Brendon took a step back.
- But it was a s O. I mean, just when she fainted, and ... uh ... I'll be quiet.
Travis is trotted at them with a ball nam o.
- Are ready?

- N o stop the ready? - Mitch took the ball from him. - Let's eat air soon
with this crap.
A shocked Travis watched Mitch out.
- All right? - Asked to Brendon.
- Yes everything. But you know what would be a good id is going? Play
with full equipment. Shields, helmets ... everything. S O to ... uh ... sure.
They turned and watched Mitch pass the ball to one of the teammates. The
poor man was hit right in the middle of the chest, and Brendon flinched at what
was sure that they were bones breaking.
Travis nodded.
- I think it's a good id is going.
Travis took off his helmet and gestured for Donnie, who came limping.
- What is the problem? - He asked the brother o, so it was close enough.
- Well, frankly ... he will n est will sex.
Travis watched Mitch bring down an attacker. The whole team flinched at
the poor Bart achieve ch o.
Mitch was a player who could take any ction position in the team. And the
more she saw play, the more I realized that Travis needed him. N o just for that
game where he would be the receiver, but in other competition gs they would still
have the following years.
The problem was Sissy. She would be the key to bring it back is to the city
when needed. But she didn`t was with a man for long. The other side of the
problem was that when I was with him, she could suck the subject is at Deix will it
does in til.

A charade, as would his father.

- When the race?
- Wednesday. Everyone will be there will.
Of course it would. Nothing like a tio competition between the women sw
res. Humans could stay with her fight in the mud. Travis dispensed all to attend a
dispute between f is meas that could tear the flesh from his bones when boring.
- Okay, let's end the workout. We will help Sissy. Donnie tilted the head to
O, surprised.
- Right.
Mitch opened the door intimate room and entered. Once you stepped
inside, the smell of home cooking struck, cer teiro. He dropped the equipment
received by the team and went straight to the kitchen. Sissy sat on balc o, with an
open magazine on her lap. She looked at him and smiled.
- Ol will. Dinner will be ready in ... hey!
Mitch caught and eats or -la will carry the dire ction of the stairs. Then he
decided it was too far and left it on the kitchen table.
- Mitchell ...
He covered her mouth with Sissy am o.
- No conversation. S O take the short and her panties. Now.
- Yes but ...
- Yet you're talking about?
- Delete the baked fire.

Mitch turned and did what she asked. When he turned to her, Sissy was
unbuttoning short.
- Too slow. - He grabbed the shorts and pulled it off, before starting her
panties, tearing it. J will was lowering the lime a sweatshirt when Sissy balan
or fit a. - Which it was?
- Here, didn`t, Mitch. Go to ...
- N o - he said, tearing the clothes of m hers and throwing them away. - I
have needs! That need to be met. And right now.
With the sm naked in the hip, Sissy said:
- N o'm a slut, Mitchell Shaw. If you have a need that must be satisfied, you
can go at is a city of human and pay a prostitute.
Mitch grabbed her by the shirt, pulling her close.
- Hey!
- Do you think any of serve now? N o want any, Sissy Mae. I want you. And
I want now. Naked, and ready to pair me. I know I could look for a prostitute. I
could have done it yesterday. But didn`t is what I want. I want youre here, now,
with legs apart ... Now get moving!
Maybe Sissy should worry about being getting used to the subtlety of Mitch
and be come walk to find beautiful and rom n tico the way he declared his
feelings for her. But the truth was that those were the most beautiful words that a
man will already told him. If she were the kind that melted, now would be a po
the pudding in the place where it was.
Instead, she lifted the head to and walked to is the bed. He removed his
shirt and tossed it backward will s. Slowly climbed into bed on the side, rolling

him. When she heard him growl, he turned, lying belly up. Ent o spread her legs,
flexing the knees, and invited him with a gesture.
Mitch took off his shirt and approached. He knelt on the edge of the bed and
looking at Sissy, slid the bra them under her knees, raising them and bringing it
lower. Then lowered the head O ae uo face buried between her thighs.
When al ngua Mitch invested in her femininity, Sissy gasped. He devoured
her like a starving man, taking it to the edge of the abyss and retreating before she
could fall. She almost hate if didn`t he were apai ...
N o.
N o, didn`t, didn`t! I had to remember their pr O selves limits. N o could let
that change your pr O Pippen rules. Finally, Sissy dug her fingers in the hair Mitch.
That mouth had docked at the heart of his pleasure, sucking, making her scream in
an orgasm t intense that would blind a weaker woman.
As her body shuddered, Mitch walked away. But only for a moment. Soon
he was back, penetrating her.
Sissy arched, crying again. Mitch held the m hers, holding them above
your head on the mattress to o, as he moved inside her. He looked at Sissy's
face and smiled.
- My, how I missed you!
Worried he was going to say something is pido, Sissy Ups tou the body as
p of and kissed him.
They laughed, made love and came to the star's June tos, and Sissy didn`t
managed to ward off the impression o that something big had just moved into
your life.

Mitch imagined they would to some Terri O neutral river to run. Again, I
was wrong. The track in Collinstown, headed by bears, could be in the official
circuit. More interesting was the fact of a race involving only six women attract
size p PUBLIC. The stands were packed with local shapeshifters and their
companions, sometimes to humans.
There was beer and hot dogs, but also m there were other things for sale:
shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, all with the names of cities. It was cute, if somewhat
obsessi vo. In a normal city, there were too many humans so that they could hold
events so no one is m without notice. There could be simply enjoy the crazy
shifters that deep down they were. Mitch had to admit: I loved that part.
Aunts Sissy sat atr s will of them, and they eat the ram to rise.
- Can sit, didn`t worry about us - Francine warned, gesturing.
Mitch looked at her and frowned.
- None Smith var o?
- Oh, dear, they're with Sissy and the others getting ready cars. Mitch
laughed.
- S is the river? All of them?
Miss Francine balan or it is a,
- Yeah. Poor things ... If your uncle didn`t had gotten himself between the
two, Sissy would have beaten Jack.
He pulled Jack with a gesture, before turning to Sissy:
- Youre has the same g nio is his father - said, smiling.
- It was he who eats or Uncle Bud.

- I know I know. But youre have to worry about your lies ction immediate.
God knows youre can beat that bastard anytime.
- You're right.
- And guess who crawled out of the forest, to see youre running? - He
stepped to the side, and the eyes of Sissy widened.
- Uncle Eggie!
She jumped in bra O the old wolf. That meant a lot to her. Everyone knew
that didn`t had much to convince Eggie back to human form, dress up and be
around other people, except his wife and his daughter.
- Ol you, little girl. Take care of those feline for his uncle Eggie.
- Yes I will. - She kissed his face, and Dee open or father's shoulders by tr
s will.
- Ol you, Dad!
- Ol will, doci n ho! I want you to be careful. Remember, cats didn`t play
clean.
Sissy snapped his fingers and looked at Paula Jo Barron and his sister s.
- No problem - murmured.
All that Mitch did was ask how many laps would be, which led Brendon
playing all his knowledge of the rules of Nascar to him.
- And you know what the difference between the O ...
- N o. - Mitch looked tr s will. - How many laps?
One of the aunts said:
- Generally, about twenty.

Mitch and Brendon stared at each other, before turning to women.

- Uh ... It didn`t seem very challenging.
All smiled, which didn`t oo calmed down a bit. The national anthem was
played, and after them, Mitch saw the cars get on track.
Six. Only six cars.
Again, he looked tr s will.
- O s are six cars competing?
- Yes - confirmed Francine, offering a small bar of cherry cereal, which he
accepted.
The sister the exchanged another look.
- Something you're wrong. - Mitch turned his body to be able to look at the
right atr women will s you. - What is happening? What est o hiding from us?
- N o matter, didn`t it? J will that neither can do anything now, didn`t really?
- What kind of answer is that?
- Damn.
Brendon spoke softly, and others could didn`t have seemed alarming, but
Mitch was. He immediately turned to the front and realized that the cars will
already were rasgan the asphalt. In the eat , everything seemed normal, except for
the amount of cars. Tr lish them were in gold tones. One of the gold that read on
mere 48 on the side, hit the car side-ve rmelho Cherry Ronnie Lee N o one little
touch.; was a loud knock, that almost threw the wall.
- Oh my!

Mitch leaned forward, and as imagined, Sissy, the black car stopped. First, it
collided at 48 per tr s will; then maneuvered and hit the side. The golden car was
crushed against the wall, and Mitch thought she was out of the race. But didn`t, the
lion returned to the track. And the most amazing: didn`t been no tio marks the
penalty, and the cars didn`t Lowering ram speed. Mitch didn`t was very f ran
from, but he knew some of the rules when watched Nascar on Sundays off.
Apparently, none of them worth there.
- It's like a race demolish ction, but with cars.
- I mat will -la - Brendon growled. - If she survive this, I will -la mat.
Mitch understood perfectly as the brother if, felt, en o liked it one bit.
Sissy slammed on the brakes and narrowly escaped being hit by Paula Jo. As
Sissy, the O prop sito de Paula didn`t was to make the best time. It was for his
sister Lucy and Ronnie Lee. The role of Sissy, Dee, Paula Jo and her sister to that
of the medium, Karen Jane, was to ensure that Ronnie Lee and Lucy didn`t
managed to finish the race first, or even finish , if possible.
They had twenty laps to stop the other team, or protect her companions. It
was a brutal game born of a sin in the accident, which had become what people call
today "f laughed roads". And only women tournament, for men, according to a
tio explains the Sissy grandfather, "No o the crazy enough."
Sissy changed gear and approached Paula Jo. I was about to hit her when
Paula Jo turned the tables, giving you a Found o is walk her to a spin that
nearly pulled the game. Then Paula was atr will s Ronnie Lee.
- That bitch!
And then o, Sissy was furious. Mitch let out of Lego.

- Okay, now she's furious will.

Brendon's eyes didn`t sa Ram track.
- How do you know?
- Knowing.
And to prove a tio declares his, Sissy went off the track, getting between 48
and 52. Since there in the middle, hit it first on the left, playing in 48 gram middle
of the track, then he turned quickly and lan or 52 in the wall.
- Wow!
Mitch shrugged.
- I said.
The crowd o was mad, everyone stood up. At is the atr aunts will s of them
were shouting:
- Finish with them Sissy!
Brendon leaned over, his mouth next to Mitch's ear.
- One day, when we're alone in a soundproof room with al gu m beers, let's
talk about how we're scared now.
- That's the , bro.
To seal that covenant, beat her fists in each other before returning to watch.
And what they saw just scared them even more.
Sissy screamed. He was a murderer cry, who was pres tes to kill everyone. N
o wore them with freq ue INSTANCE, but when used, smart people walked away.
N o Paula Jo didn`t were smart. She just never retreated, for any reason. If
didn`t were mortal enemies, it was prov ble Sissy liked her.

He saw the flag and knew they were entering the final round. That was
pretty much the nica flag that used in racing.
Sissy floored and spent the lionesses to run the esquer of Ronnie. She was in
front and could win, but Happy in the effort were Walk For tir will -la of
competition ction because didn`t matter how Lucy tried, didn`t know run like
Ronnie.
Dee-Ann leaned to Ronnie's right. His car had dents huge in p-ra will shock
and sides, but Sissy knew his car was worse. Of course, she had a g nio is worse
than Dee.
Lionesses had another lap to prevent Ronnie, or lose. They decided to risk
everything, in a move that Sissy didn`t remember having seen before; It should be
something new.
Karen Jane underwent Sissy and closed it, then hit the brakes. Sissy had a
few seconds to react, stepping on the brake is also me turning the steering wheel,
was then what Paula Jo beat her for three will s, taking Sissy track, lan walk to
the site central grass.
Lucy is O or passage between Ronnie and Dee Dee and pulled with a
collision well placed left. Cousin Sissy turned and slammed against the wall.
Right. Sissy j will was furious, but that ...
Sissy accelerated, making the car turn in bed. In a normal race, it would be
illegal; that, s O had two rules: didn`t could reach a car he was off the track, or run
down a driver who was out of the car. Violates any of these rules resulted in a time
rada in prison the Smithtown Barron or the C UNTY.
Sissy reached the asphalt, and the rear rabeou when the tires touched him.
But she got where he wanted. He timed his movements, so that Ronnie had just

passed when he returned to the track. She crossed and pushed Paula Jo and Karen
Jane backwards will s, Lucy still managed to escape, but Ronnie Lee would always
be more r will rupted it. The worries ction Sissy was with her sister older s.
Gritting her teeth, she turned, the rear crashing into the front of the car Paula
Jo. The in is rcia pushed the car Paula Jo for car rear her sister . This made Karen
Jane turned, coming right at Sissy.
The for the movement pushed Sissy, who rep being taken off the air.
When Sissy's car flipped v holiday times will, Mitch rose, the tio blush fired.
The car seemed that didn`t would stop over. He swung at it's back to the median.
He had lost count of how many laps he had. But when finally stopped, Ronnie Lee
had finished first, and the checkered flag was stirred.
Again, op PUBLIC went wild, and Mitch remembered the hooligans
Europeans, before jumping over the fence and shoot racing for car Sissy.
L will come before the brother hers, and without thinking, pulled the
crumpled door and threw her backwards will s. I could have hit someone is m, but
didn`t was bothering him.
- Sissy?
He crouched beside her, relieved to see is -la with the proper equipment,
since a belt safety to six points at is a helmet that matched your Monkey black
flame-retardant, al m is a protective in the neck. God knew that the guard had been
necessary a rio!
- Sissy!
Her eyes opened, and she blinked, looking around. When he finally focused
on it, he asked,

- We won?
It had to saw the car will tir her from you there, because the free seats to, and
she had been pressured into the bodywork. Mitch helped by pulling it out so the
uncles said to do is it. Ent o asked her:
- How many fingers I'm showing?
- Eighty-five thousand!
- O thymus.
Sissy was of p is, although I think Mitch wanted esten d is -la in ch o, or
even better, ENFI will -la in Humvee Ambulance INSTANCE. But kept the bra
on his shoulders for support. He looked at the ch o, where his brother the lay im
vel O.
- What happened to Travis? Mitch shrugged.
- I hit him with the car door. It was an accident.
- Marry me - it turned out, before he could stop himself.
Mitch just smiled and replied:
- S O're saying this because you didn`t est will in its normal state. After
going to yell at me, saying that I took advantage of youre.
Sissy eats or laughing, but someone is ma hit in the head by a tr s will. If
Mitch didn`t were with the bra around her, would ca e of fit in the car.
- Your cheating bitch! Sissy snorted.
- I didn`t cheated, his blind! Although it should have trap supper. The
wonder is that not need to do this to win youre!

Paula Jo tried to hit her again, but Dee passed her and turned his helmet,
hitting the right side of Paula's face. Ent oa it got ugly really, because the aunts
were involved.
Ah, nothing like watching middle-aged women fall into the fray! Sissy tried
to keep aunts, but it involved much rancor. Moreover, he had to deal with Paula Jo
and her sister s struggling with Dee and Ronnie. And didn`t help at all be
watching all triplicate. But every time trope ava, or when he felt he was going to
fall, a couple of m strong was holding. At no time Mitch left his side.
Finally, the bears were bored, and his officers interfered, sending everyone
back to their Territory O rivers. Sissy Mitch threw over his shoulder and carried
her to the car, placing it in the passenger seat.
- Hospital She laughed.
- No way! We have a party to go, honey.
Mitch sighed and sat behind the wheel.
- I knew you'd say that.
The party was O optimum, the spectacular food, eam sic the cer look
fabulous. To be honest, was one of the best parties that Sissy had gone in recent
times, and what was amazed that didn`t had argued with his sister the once.
However, when your m centuries eats plow to hurt back home, Sissy
realized it would be better didn`t run more. J will was time for the "younger" take
care of it. Hell, she eats ara sixteen ... why would it be different with his nieces?
Al m is more, to his horror, he was getting too old for this.
Once entered into the house, Mitch held his m o and took him to the
upstairs.

- Where are we going?

- Take a shower. Youre est will smelling of drink and other felines. Are you
getting on my nerves.
Sissy didn`t argue, instead, like having Mitch cuidan her. He stepped into the
shower with her, washed her hair, and even spent the conditioner is straight, which
led her to suspect that she had learned and am . Once the two were and
nxaguados, Mitch dried up and went with her to the room. N o spoke a lot during
all this time, and she didn`t know why qu is. But didn`t would worry. Ask
questions s O led to deep conversations, which Sissy tried to avoid at all costs.
She dried her hair with the towel and dressed just an old shirt, imagining that
didn`t need anything else, with a view to ere ction that Mitch was carrying since
entered the shower together.
He combed her hair and took a lime the sweatshirt.
- I'm going down - warned, surprising her. - Talk to you later.
- N o staying here?
- N o. Tonight, didn`t.
She watched him open the door and cried:
- Why?
He gave a startled jump when he slammed the door t strong that might
have damaged the wall.
- Youre will're even wondering why?
Mitch turned and Sissy saw anger in his eyes. In fact, I had never seen him
like that before. J will turn irritates tio o impaci is INSTANCE. But never f ...
laughed. N o it.

- Uh ... yes.
- And you have the courage to ask me, after all the Quality and spent?
Now she was confused.
- And what youre gone?
- What I ... youre ... didn`t can ...
Wow, he was not managing to finish sentences! That didn`t could be good.
Suddenly, he grabbed her by the shoulders, holding strong.
- Do you really think I liked almost v is -la die today?
- I didn`t say that ...
- Shut up!
Sissy was t the shock that followed.
- First, I didn`t had id is going than youre s were up. If I knew, I would have
prevented.
- You would have ...
- Shut up! Second, do some id is how it was going to see his car roll over
like that? Knowing that youre was trapped inside l will, and that didn`t was nothing
I could do?
As he didn`t seem to want to answer any of your questions, Sissy was quiet.
- And by qu is? You're welcome! Youre risked his life for abso lutely
nothing. Ent o, if you must know, didn`t'll fi c air here tonight is Why Not'm
furious!
He released her, opened the door and made the bat is -la with a bang when
he left.

Sissy didn`t know how long stood there, staring at the closed door. For the
first time in his life, he was speechless.
But the sound of pebbles lan ated against his window drew from his
silence will laugh temporary. He opened the window and saw Ronnie Lee and Dee
under the tree in which you used to escape the room.
He wore short pants and then went down the tree will, pousan the firmly side
of the materials.
- We go to the store of their aunts. We need pie - warned Ronnie and Sissy
nodded.
By express o Ronnie, she also is mn o could nothing with Brendon
therefore both needed the same pie.
Brendon didn`t was surprised to find Mitch sat on the lakeshore to s tr s
the morning, looking for you water. But rather that didn`t had a crocodile at his
side. It was one thing to play r abo-of-war with him, quite another to trat you as it
does oc ozinho of tio estimates the fam read.
- Ol will. - Brendon sat close to Mitch, with Ralph the other side. - He is
really necessary a rio?
- Are you keeping me company.
Sitting cross-legged, her elbows supports the knees and the head resting on
the the m, he looked like the teenager who Brendon remembered.
- Sissy left - Mitch said, sighing again. - And No OA blame, I lost the head
to .
- N o feel bad. I think I did Ronnie cry. Mitch looked.
- Youre Ronnie made my cry?

- Do not start. J will feel quite ill without you is increase my fault. And the
woman terrified me!
- Yeah, I see that they didn`t understand this. All the while, Sissy looked at
me as if I were speaking Greek.
- They play rough here in the bush. That's what I heard.
- Play hard I understand. But to stick to a ve culo that can catch fire or
explode in thousands of peda the after banging on others in the same situated
ction, are you far away from what I think normal.
Brendon looked at his sister o stroke the head to Ralph.
- Speaking at normal ... you think this is the reason ble ?
- N on the lot - Mitch replied, am still in the fits the crocodile. - But I'm
afraid that if they stop, he sees will bite my leg. N o I remember when he was eaten
by last time. Did you know that crocodiles s O eat every three lish days, more or
less?
Balan walk to the falls, Brendon said:
- Mitchell ...
- Which it was?
- You need to tell her, bro.
- N o think Sissy is very interested in crocodiles.
- N o so stupid! Youre est will love with her.
- Oh, that ... I'd rather continue stroking Ralph.
- Do you think she will run? - Ronnie fled when desco brira Brendon loved
her.

- N o. She never runs away. Sissy would just ignore what thing I want to say.
Ignore what we were to each other during this year, and forget about these last
days . Perhaps ignore me completely.
- She didn`t can ignore youre. Mitch sniffed.
- It's because?
- Mano ... youre est will sit here patting one crocodile while informing me of
their h will dietary habits. How the hell will let her ignore?

Desiree had shredded the ros a rio of everything they had done with regard
ction to Shaw's case during those two weeks. However, its commander didn`t was
not at all impres sionada. He looked pretty upset when Desiree sent out of their
sight.
Resting his elbow on the table, Desiree spent the m the hair. o t was
frustrated as everyone else, but this woman was like a ghost. Without digital, hair,
tissue fibers, and For the Armed didn`t had helped at all. Even among the
shapeshifters, there was all the usual pol tica.
- Maybe she sa s pa.
A professional as one would see rivers will passports, identity and contacts.
- N o. - Ellie Souza p s p is the s on the table. - She didn`t left the pa s.
Not yet.
- How do you know that?
- She didn`t will leave at is getting what you want. And you want the money.
The reward weighing about your kid is fat. If didn`t were against the law, I myself
would kill him by this amount.

- That was ador ble, Ellie, thanks.

- S O'm telling the truth. It will try again.
Desiree ran his finger over the impec table ble, like everything that Writers
O river, and had missed his pocket knife.
- They want to move on with the trial. Ent o, I think we will have to wait
until he is back to Filad is lfia.
When Souza didn`t answer, Desiree stared at her.
- What it was?
- L will, we will have others. Humans v o will try derrub it does v the
atrapalh will -la. She wants for himself, and before he has a chance to testify.
Desiree leaned back in his chair.
- Do you think she found it, didn`t it?
- Human didn`t have the necessary contacts rivers will, but she did. - Ellie
raised an eyebrow. - J will think about going to Tennessee, Desiree?
- Why will pr O would put, or with a gun to my head to ?

After Ralph put back in the lake, Mitch sent Brendon to make peace with
Ronnie. N on what the fight would last very even.
Mitch went back to Sissy's house and was a little surprised by v -la is sitting
on the porch step.
- Ol will - she said, smiling.
- Ol will. - He sat on the second step, mimicking her pose. - I'm sorry for
yelling at you is.

- Sorry I t is scared it does both. - She laughed. - I always esque me the are
as different here. What is normal for n o s is considered crazy by everyone.
- N o total madness. I was right, youre at it s come arem to collide with
each other. I was waiting for penalties, or a red flag.
- N o sn o have penalties.
- Now I know.
- Well ... it means a lot to me that youre not care enough to me to scream. As
a frustrated little girl.
- And it means a lot to me to know that youre will're willing to risk
permanent damage to the spine and have to stay under the care of his m and the
pr O ximos twenty years just to give the city which escaped a good show. And no
pr is mio in cash.
Sissy's eyes narrowed.
- Touch is Monsieur Gaton. Touch is.
Mitch took am hers.
- You will go there up and find that other French things can we do?

Paula Jo Barron, al der lionesses gang, was reading jor nal and drinking
beer. In a few days, I was t o bored ...
That was one of them. It was hot and humid , en had nothing to do al m is
to sit and sweat. And though his bar was cold and confort ble because of the air
conditioning, even didn`t had much to do. J will prepared payments, en o was in
the mood to play and win one of s sister in pool again. The game of football in
Smithtown s O happen the next day, the s tr s h in the afternoon. Devil, to watch

the bears kicking the back of the pack Smith, it was worth risking the lives
crossing some Terri O rivers.
But it was in days like this that Paula Jo thought about leaving. How would
leave his town to tr will find another place to live? Moving to a big city like
Nashville, or is at another state like Texas?
But as soon as these id's'd crossed your head to, it the repressed. How
could I go? N o trust any of the sister s to lead the pack. And definitely didn`t
trust your crazy aunts.
Al is addition, which would make for a living? The Barron had never been
rich, and might never be. Also is mn they were miser ble, but m is s earlier, when
the roof sunk, they needed a Empr is seventh for arrum will it. N o had reserves on
which to lean.
It must be nice to have some money, he thought, with a little less bitter than
usual.
And then o, she entered.
A lioness, definitely. N o was just the smell that denounced, but the way he
moved. The way his gaze encompassed the entire place. And though her hair being
short, it was the inconfund vel golden mane. Of course, it would never be like that
of a male, but each had his mea f is for ction predator within.
However, the problem was that she didn`t era of Paula Jo bunch. It was an
outsider, and Paula expelled strangers.
The woman noticed her and, instead of fleeing, came with a backpack on his
shoulders. He wore a lime the loose khaki, with a tight white shirt. Paula Jo is
also m sniffed the smell of oil O for weapons.

The woman was armed.

Paula Jo looked at Lucy, and her sister ca ula walked out the back door to
call men. Al m is to procreate, the nica usefulness of those grandalh ns was to
prote ction it. At that time, he was sleeping under a tree will, after O s Karen Jane
will aliment them.
The woman stopped in front of her.
- Youre in charge here? - She asked. And didn`t was speaking of the bar. His
accent, was a Yankee.
- Yes. Can you Bailout will -la ... before youre from?
- How about winning some money?
Paula Jo straightened in his chair. Lucy was coming back, with the two men
will soon atr s, yawning and rubbing his eyes. It is asleep again.
osos lazy!
The sound of something falling on the table did Paula Jo make face the
strange, after the table. She was there loose a beautiful pile of money.
- This is the first half. Help me, and will have the other party.
Karen Jane, always good with mere n after working as a stripper, took
notes and flipped through quickly.
- At least ten thousand - warned Paula Jo.
God, whom I'll have to kill for twenty thousand?
- What you want?
- All I need is for you is it's a ... - and the lion smiled, showing fangs distract ... ction.

- Youre have to leave!

Startled, Sissy looked at Travis. He was right in front without giving the
slightest attention to ction s women around her who had gone there to spy on
players last workout, including Mitch.
- why?
- Youre the will're distracting, and this is our last training before the game.
Ent o, you must go!
- He fumbled a little, but why is this my fault?
- Youre didn`t can get.
- But what am I supposed to do while he's will here? Travis snorted, but
before he could make things worse, Patty Rose interfered, as always.
- Let's stop this, youre s two. the sister didn`t can do so.
Patty grabbed her purse, from which pulled out his wallet.
- Why didn`t ov o is at the bar of his uncle and take a few drinks on me? I
know some of the ladies present here would love to spend some time with you is s.
- Especially if the drinks are of the gra - Ronnie muttered.
- I swear, so Mitch finished, notice where youre will est.
- Youre didn`t have to pay for our drink.
- Oh, I didn`t mind - she said, putting v notes will holiday in m o Sissy; - V
o, and I notice Mitch.
Sissy shrugged.
- All right. Thank you.

With Dee, Ronnie will ev younger holiday of wolves to follow them, they
went to the bar.
Sissy didn`t was amused. And didn`t only miss Mitch, although this is true.
Or have realized that he had fallen in love with him, en knew how to handle it,
even with the knowledge that would lose him forever.
Of course, all that was bothering her, but still didn`t was the chief.
Something was wrong, and she didn`t know what it was. There was a
voltage o the group of young wolves that made Sissy stop the prim and anger
beer. Dee had asked for a Coke, and Ronnie Lee, nothing.
The fact that Dee didn`t have gone at that point is was bas tant
whistleblower. She was bored quickly, and always get up and leave, but didn`t this
time. She stood and watched.
What was bothering tr s friends? The girls. Sissy didn`t know why they
had come together for the bar, but this va ready to separate them. The three lish
friends could go to the pie shop, instead of being who didn`t trust.
Sissy looked at Ronnie and Dee, tilting the head to light to indicate that she
was ready to leave.
Ronnie nodded, and would give an excuse to sa e rem when one of the girls
hit am on the table.
- Why youre still didn`t is the alpha here? - She asked with a desd is m Sissy
didn`t like.
- Because my mother and is the alpha.
- She didn`t will live forever. Think will come back when this happens?
- N o.

- I bet you're scared. No fear being strong enough.

Sissy shrugged.
- Do you have reason o, I'm too afraid to be alpha here. She gestured to
Ronni and and press, and is tr s rises ram. He threw the money for the drinks on the
table.
- Excuse the O - muttered and walked around the table in the dire ction sa
of.
But a bottle of tequila almost reached its p is s. Descal them.
He took a deep breath, turning the head to to face who had thrown the
bottle.
- Little girl, youre lost in ction?
- They say youre t is the tough ... I think it's silly.
- You can find whatever you want, but I'll leave, and you're going to fall off.
In response to this, the girl threw another bottle, this time, the p is s Ronnie.
Sissy pushed her friend for three will be approached the girl. The girl, like
an idiot, lan or O-ahead, straight to Sissy, who held her by the throat and stared at
her.
- L will out, Sissy Mae - the bartender ordered.
As the bar owned by his uncles, she nodded and dragged the girl to the door.
It was a sa of mass, and Sissy threw the girl on the floor o.
Op is putting in hand of the neck , pressed, only for man t -la is in place,
without breaking anything. N o f Ligir wanted in permanent damage, s O wanted to
give some ction Schools for the little dog understand his place .

But the girl scratched the ch o begged, desperate:

- Get her off me! Please take!
Surprised that the t courage is -la abandoned t or will pido, Sissy looked tr
s will to Ronnie and Dee. Four wolves were holding Ronnie, and two wolves
contained Dee. She looked at the material and saw that she was about to kill all
within reach.
What the hell was going on?
That's when Sissy heard:
- Ol you, baby - said Gil gently with sister and two cousins will atr s it. - I
thought Shayla never would conse Guir brings is -la out here.
Ronnie eats or change, but am Sissy raised o, preventing it. As she was
alpha, it had to be obeyed. Sissy raised op is kicking the girl away.
- What's it all about, Gil? What you want?
- I'm the first to admit he screwed up. I know so. But I still think we have
formed a great couple.
Sissy looked at the other two, and even located ction they were in the tr s h e
ca ram into laughter.
- You know - she said, still laughing - my m and without pre said youre
didn`t will l was very intelligent. And I should t is -la heard.
- Your m and loves me.
- In fact, didn`t - Sissy said, wrinkling her nose. - She even warned me that if
youre had sa of his father, would have been Amaldi oado with the cowardice of
Warren.

- Forget the , Sissy, Youre didn`t will make me nervous.

- Believe me, darling, I can leave youre nervous, yes. S and I remember
well, s need O say something like "didn`t, didn`t want", and youre j you tried to
beat me.
- That was a lot of time h. Over. I am another man now.
Sissy looked around.
- You call this change? Calls for me to try air to mate with you is to
change? - She gave a smile is desd m. - It's what's will planning, didn`t? A mating
is ado?
- Worked with their parents.
- My God, but youre 's ass! My father didn`t is and or my hand to
anything. He never needed, because she wanted him. Unfortunately, his father
didn`t can say the same thing. If the mem O would didn`t fail me, mam and left
him moaning and whimpering on the border of Smithville, before coming to
Smithtown. Are you trying to repeat the experimental INSTANCE is it?
The f laughed Gil, always sudden, emerged. He stepped forward,
aggressive, as Sissy was telling what he would do. Taking a step back, she hit him
with a punch to the face. He did exactly as she had been taught when she and
Ronnie were over in Ireland only with a hangover and five pounds. Louis
McCanohan brought them to his home when they were about to change and kill
some humans will atr s pub favori to it. The sessent the wolf had taught the
fighting as human so they could take care in any situation ction.
With m covering the nose bleeding, Gil stared.
- Youre broke my nose.

Sissy nodded at ease.

- Yes, I broke. Ent o, it will do it, son, let's go.
Gil advances or again exposed prey, and Sissy waddled to the left and gave
him a punch in the est magician. When he doubled over, she kneed. He had
aimed his chin, trying to will Quebr it does, but he slipped away in time and it hit
the nose will already broken.
Again, he said in the dire ction it, and Sissy out of the way, striking him
twice right kidney. Gil went to one knee, pain didn`t ot the Large as the shame of
being beaten a woman.
Gil gave up fighting as human as it turned and twisted, attacking Sissy. She
threw herself on top of her, and Sissy raised the m holding the front legs of it.
Both ca ram, and when they landed, j will Sissy was a wolf. She managed to get
away from Gil, growling, showing his fangs, ready to fight.
Ronnie didn`t waited another. It became also is me tried to escape the bra
them from their captors. But they also are m had changed shape, and arrested the
ch o. She howled, hope the call Sissy relatives, but f is meas sat on his neck the ,
preventing it to go al is m of a growl. Two other males joined the effort to control
the O Dee, but she was causing enough damage. Although didn`t oo enough to
escape and help Sissy.
Sissy didn`t waited Gil strike again. She advances or miran of your neck
it. But the brother and the materials they toppled and arrested her at ch o,
keeping it in place for it.
At that point, Ronnie struggled even more, realizing in horror, what they
planned. Smith had never been any t ob will rbaro. A Smith had to be able to
handle their faith is mea alone. If didn`t could, didn`t oa deserved.

 The only man able to deal with Sissy Mae Smith was on the football field,
playing and impressing sister hers. Mitch loved her, and at some point Sissy
would have to admi tir which is also loved mo. Everyone in town knew it. Rumors
were spreading, and everyone was wondering how Bubba Smith would accept his
other son mating outside of the pack, and esp is cie. Especially with a feline.
Gil must have heard the rumors and decided to commit this act desperate. Or
perhaps one of the brothers of the Sissy had reinforced it with him. It s O knew I
had to get at is the friend, and soon.
Travis was very happy with the training, now that her sister had left . She
distracted his ace, and to be honest, he didn`t could accept that.
He wondered if there would be a way to make the guy come every year to
participate in the game, but leaving Sissy anywhere else. I would have to think
about it. Some separate days didn`t kill them, didn`t it?
Stated range and trotted at is the polystyrene. His wife was waiting with an
isotonic in m o. Patty Rose didn`t was very beautiful, but it was tough, good
brood, and good bed. It could be worse.
Al is addition, was t Y our ambitious as he is. With a f m is well on his side,
it would definitely take ap O s convince his father to submit.
- Thank you - growled. She smiled, and he raised his eyebrows. - Why are
you convinced you with that guy?
She approached.
- I think I managed our problem.
- The shack? I thought masters wait to fix it.

- N o - she replied, rolling her eyes.

- What was then the ?
- Gil Warren and Sissy - she murmured. Travis shrugged, j will be bored
with the conversation and the woman.
- What is m t they?
- I handed it to him.
- Handed? - Travis didn`t was understanding. Patty Rose stood on the tips of
p is whether whispered:
- He's will is walk one mating right now.
Retreating, Travis stared.
- What?
- Did you hear me. - She smiled and looked at Sammy and Mitch, making
sure that they didn`t oa heard. - Plans hands that will h days.
The m the Travis flew into the neck the Patty Rose, and he lifted the ch
o before she had time to blink.
- What was that youre done?

Sissy struggled out from under the wolves that held, but they didn`t relaxed
his grip, and Gil was coming straight for her.
If Gil Warren thought he was going to do what he wanted, I was very wrong
to. A mating is ado with a f is mea Smith was the most r way will pido to end his
throat slashed overnight.

But Sissy, the worst was a tio humbles. Would be with Gil brand forever,
didn`t matter what happened later. And because of that, it would always considered
weak. Unworthy of being f m is alpha. Travis and his wife would know that, but
Gil didn`t understand. He thought that was his passport for a riser or will rupted.
Instead, both would be condemned to a status permanent beta. Perhaps at is
mega. S O thinking about it already will made her sick.
N o! No way! Never let that happen. N o, until he had blood in his veins.
With a growl that reverberated in f is meas that safe vam, Sissy twisted,
bitten and dragged to where I was. They tried Snatches will -la again, but Sissy
turned and bit him, ripping someone's nose is making me with them to turn back.
With a growl, she turned and faced Gil. He grinned and invited him to come
closer. He ran, and Sissy stiffened for the fight, but a huge body jumped in front,
making the jump to the side. Gil stumbled tr s will, shocked, when faced with
something he feared more than a f is mea Smith: a male Smith.
Bobby Ray grinned and lowered the body enquan to surrounding Gil. The
rest of the pack Smith of New York surrounded them, defeating easily the wolves
that conti still encased Ronnie. The Reed boys were atr will s males that bound
Dee, j will that didn`t should feel good beating the girls that bound her sister .
Sissy didn`t know Bobby Ray had returned from their honeymoon honey t Y
our early and kick the caller back, but s O later. At that moment, I was very happy
to see is it.
Gil tried to get away from Bobby, but Sissy moved to his side, blocking the
passage.
Now that he was cornered, the brothers looked at the each other over Gil.

And they waited. Tr is s seconds. Then left onto Gil. By, blood and flesh
flew down the alley, and Gil yelped in pain.
As always, Bobby Ray and Sissy moved in sync. That was why they were
alphas t Y our good. N o stopped Machu car Gil, at Bobby Ray is the left back,
with the neck stuck in your e mand label.
He bit, and Gil's body went limp, feet up, eyes downcast. Gil Warren would
never recover here it. Never be alpha in any city controlled by Smith. Knowing
this, Sissy leaned the head for the three will howled with his pack joining it.
But soon stopped when glimpsed a golden glance past her. Sissy retreated
trope walk while Mitch took Gil with the big mouth and rattled from side to side
like a rag doll. He hit the body of the wolf against the wall, then lan or Brendon.
then it was the turn of Brendon shake Gil and bat it does is against the wall a few
times.
Gil was played back to Mitch, who held her back and looked at Sissy. She
was tempted ... and how! ... It does a leave will kill Gil. But didn`t would be that
day. Balan or fit it, and Mitch nodded.
He tilted the head for the tr s will, the mane balan walk and Gil flew
down the alley, hit the wall and fell.
All heard the sound of breaking column.
Sure, Mitch could have done much worse. And some have po, years in fact,
Gil's back probably would be healed and he would walk again. But for now ...
Well, that didn`t was Sissy problem.
Mitch approached her, golden eyes to observ will -la. I wanted to know if
everything was okay. Sissy nodded, and Mitch rubbed his forehead against hers, ro

 walk mane against his muzzle and neck the . He scored at least temporarily, and
left, with Brendon logo atr s will, and the rest of the team to follow him, including
Travis.
Bobby Ray stared at her sister , and Sissy without dis will cuss it, turned
and trotted to her parents' house, with Ronnie Dee and wolves Smith of New York
in tow.
It was decided that Gil Warren and his small band would be expelled from
the city so he could leave. The reason for that solution ction was different for each
sister o: Smitty and Sammy Ray felt that Gil had passed the limits with ca ula,
en had back. For Travis, Jack and Donnie was wolf thing. Gil had proved weak,
and they didn`t wanted to pollute the city with his genes. The fact that his sister
was almost ada is a mating that didn`t want didn`t seemed incomod will them,
and Mitch realized why Sissy preferred Smitty. He finished his honeymoon earlier
and traveled to New York is at Tennessee to see if everything was fine. When
realizes ra she was in danger, he had gone resgat will -la just as Mitch would, if it
were one of her sister s.
Travis s O off Bailout will -la because didn`t wanted Mitch to upset the
game.
- We'll handle it all tomorrow , after the game. - Travis looked at Smitty. You are going to play?
- J will youre came to help her sister at least once, I will, yes.
- Good -. Without another word, not "parab is ns at home ment "or" sorry I
didn`t have gone, "he went back into the house with his alcat is going to follow
him.
- I'm sorry about your honeymoon, Smitty.

He dismissed the apology.

- Do not worry. Sissy did the right thing, youre bringing to safety.
- Yeah ... I didn`t I was very happy to eat the O, but I'm glad she has brought
me.
- I bet you're.
And that's when Smitty hit him with for a.
- My sister ? My sister zinha?
- N o is what youre thinking you're ... I love her.
Mitch said quietly, but at sil is ncio that followed, it was as if he had
shouted. The Smitty's anger vanished, and he crossed the bra them.
- Is it true?
- Yes. I love your sister .
Smitty watched for a moment and raised his fist to hit him again. Brendon
tried to block the blow, but Mitch s O waited for the punch.
- Youre going to be the and let me hit, didn`t it? Mitch shrugged.
- She likes you is, then prefer didn`t get into a deadly fight, if poss ble . He lifted the m them. - Youre know how strong my coup "furious fist".
Smitty looked at him again, trying didn`t laugh.
- It's better than fa happy, feline, sen 'll do the Sabina using knives to her
spayed youre!
Men shrank with the threat to . Everyone knew the mo the quest for the;
the flock of wild c es Jessie, she was the most ... crazy.

- N o'll be here after the trial. - And suddenly, the pack of New York was
focused on him again.
- What?
He cleared his throat, and Brendon stared at him as if Mitch had gone mad.
But he didn`t want Smitty thought lie.
- I'm going in for the prote ction of the program to s witnesses after the trial.
N o going back to Sissy. N o'll get back to you c.
But before Smitty could say anything, Travis went out to the balcony.
- What the hell youre est you talking about?
- I thought you knew it is s.
- And my sister ? - Smitty growled.
- And the game next year? - Travis growled. Smitty looked at his sister o.
- Play? Are you talking about your damn game, when the future of Sissy est
will in the quest ?
- Let's face it, Bobby Ray N o is as if she didn`t would jump on top of the
first stallion o to go through it.. This guy is s o a hobby.
- Hey! - The brother Shaw said, together.
- No offense, boss, but didn`t may find even my sister like youre, or any
man, really.
- Do you have something to tell me, Travis?
They were involved in the t discussion which does not per ceived the
New York wolves on the porch. Jessie Ann ace nou for Smitty, lost in the mass of
much larger wolves, and furious.

- What's up? - Sissy pushed down the stairs with Ronnie will soon atr s. Say what to say, Travis. In my face.
Travis looked at Mitch and balan or fit a.
- N o, fine. Another time, perhaps.
- N o worry. Mitch will play, and good. I'll me sure of it. Ent o, speak
soon.
- Youre didn`t will want me fa to it here, Sissy Mae.
- N o - Sammy interrupted. - I didn`t'll want youre fa to it here.
- Are you all right, Sammy. For real. I want to hear what he has to say.
Come on you, Travis. Tell.
- Right. Everyone knows that youre didn`t est will neither to this young
man, is al m of pr O xima sex that it can provide. When it is, will come another,
then another. As always. Nothing changed. Although I was praying that youre
continue with this one for a few years because he knows even play. But youre still
the same bitch ...
It was the word "slut" that made him lose the head to the fist hitting
Travis's face, lan o grandalh the walk in ch o. While el es were still staring,
stunned, Sammy grabbed the older sister the shirt, lifted him up and again hit him
... sometimes.
Finally, Bobby Ray and Sissy had to segur you it does and it does pull you
backwards will s. Sissy put the bra over your shoulder and repeated:
- Are you okay, are you okay ...
But the humorous Sammy had its limits, and the Travis had passed.
- I warned you what would be called something like that again! I told you!

Travis sat, leaning against the railing of varan

the. Much of the face was

covered in blood broken nose.

- At it looks like she was never called that - Travis shot, trying to maintain
some dignity.
Sammy tried advances air it again, but Bobby Ray restrained while Mitch
had the impression o that it is also m was crazy to take a beating in the sister .
Travis grinned, teasing.
- And God knows who will be called before.
It was something in her eyes; one microsecond "now comes". He tried alcan
CA -la, but she took the helmet of the players had dropped at the front door.
Lifting it on the head a, Sissy knelt down with the helmet is the .
Just in Travis knee. All shrank while to hear the bone break.
The wolf yelped in agony.
Panting, af laughed rolling waves of his body, Sissy has to rise.
- I promised I would play tomorrow Mitch . N o say anything about youre
playing. Good thing Bobby Ray will're here to play in his tio the position.
She threw the helmet to Donnie, who caught it, but remained distant.
Sissy ro or am at the bra the Mitch before leaving with their wolves in
tow.
At s tr lish the morning , Mitch called Sissy, warning that a group of them
had led Travis to the hospital for conser tar leg. Apparently, the fracture had been t
Y our ugly it would take more than a week for it to heal.

Sissy would have felt bad if Mitch didn`t sounded t proud on the phone. At
one point it at is commented:
- I thought I should come, j will that was my girlfriend who gave him a
beating.
It was the first time she agreed to be called that. Curled up on the couch will,
with Ronnie sleeping on the floor next to s the other wolves, and said:
- It made me nervous.
- Me too. But I'm glad that was you will is the surrealism it.
They talked for nearly an hour, until he is warning that this vam leaving the
hospital.
- I'll take the Smitty class tonight. I see youre before the game?
- Of course. Actually, I was thinking about ... uh ... quan the youre is back to
Filad is lfia, I was thinking of going together. S O is at youre witness - said
hurriedly.
He was quiet for a while, then he asked:
- Why?
- Why didn`t want to be alone.
- Sissy ... it would mean a lot to me. You're going to be my sexy bodyguard.
She laughed.
- Well, someone's got to do the m serve the O!

Mitch was awakened by a slap in the neck. Growling, Ups tou the head to
and seen.

- Desiree.
- Mitchell. - She smiled. - I'm glad to see it does is breathing.
- I was sleeping.
- I know, but I wanted to make sure.
- I'm going to play football within a few hours, then o ... - He gestured,
sending him off the couch will.
- Oh, how beautiful! I come at is the middle of nowhere will atr's a killer,
and youre expelled me.
- Youre didn`t will let me sleep at all, didn`t it? Her smile widened.
- In fact, Smitty asked me to acord will it.
- Any leads on the lioness?
- We're pretty sure she will come to c. Your head to est will worth much
now.
- O thymus. Can you give me a ride?
- Of course.

They slept m just a few hours en o find anything for coffee is the morning
. Damn cat. Now, they ended up taking coffee is in the restaurant and going out,
when the smell hit them.
Paula Jo and his gang parked the jeep.
- Hey, Sissy Mae! Sissy came forward.
- You were crazy? What are you doing here?

- I had to make a decision o. His esp is cie - said erguen am the right. My esp is cie - added, raising his left. - But in the end, there will be something
above that. She repeated the gesture but explaining:
- Southern against Yankee.
- What are you talking about?
- We were hired to distract youre s. A Yankee lioness promised us twenty
thousand. We think we can have fun with ten, and even spoil her party. - Paula Jo
looked Sissy directly. - She's here will by her man, Sissy. And that crazy didn`t
will stop at is getting it.

- Ol will? - Dee entered the house and found the note:

We went to the restaurant to take coffee is. Meeting youre in the field for the
game. Sissy
It was t peak didn`t wait for her. Of course, she lived challenge like but
knew Sissy didn`t care. So it was an alpha t Y our perfect: she understood his pack
and acted accordingly.
Imagining that j will didn`t find them in the restaurant, resol veil stay home
is at the game. It was at is the kitchen, and as he entered, smelled the automatic
pistol will tica pointed at his face. Without thinking, acting on the basis of training
years, hooked op is in the kitchen chair, kicking it away. Hit the lion in full,
disarming it.
The stranger looked at his gun, then to Dee. After a moment, his eyes
widened, recognizing the opponent.

- Well, well ... If didn`t just back to s r e zes! The head the From and
leaned to the side.
- I thought you were dead, Mary. So they tell us.
Outside why not spent by your head that Mary could be the killer had
come to search some of his old colleagues, but all had will libis.
- To them, I am. God knows we didn`t win will let a lot of money. - She
flexed am o holding the gun, proof ably painful blow by the chair. - So o I
decided to leave because of pr O would put. Make a fortune. But didn`t think it
will be between me and my money, cute. Youre never o t so good.
Dee was unarmed, and the lioness is also m. Looking rapi particular to the
sink, she saw the block with knives and hanging hammer with two screwdrivers.
He picked up the hammer. Knives were a nightmare to fight. Although she know
how to do it does is because it was trained, is also m knew it was a way f cil will
hurt herself.
When caught, Mary left for her, with one ca knife o m a in. Dee turned
his body, and Mary hit her from the side. For walk am the one on the table, Dee
broke with the hammer.
Mary roared and pushed, for walk Dee against the sink. Without the knife,
the lioness grabbed Dee wrists, but Dee stepped in for the O in p is support her and
gave her a head ada.
The fastando to her, Mary pushed her again, this time on the kitchen table
before trying to leave. Instinctively, Dee knew that the other would have more l
weapons to off, and kept running. Mary had barely reached the screen door when
Dee attacked by three will s, knocking her down and falling with her on the porch.
- The house is right there.

Desiree turned the corner, approaching the house Mitch indicated.

- I can almost hear banjos.
- You can stop. And I'll tell you that Sissy is said that.
- Your mouse!
Looking at the front of the house, Mitch said:
- I think we didn`t have nobody is m.
What left him disappointed, because I had planned a r will rupted session
the sex with Sissy before the game.
A noise coming from inside the house arrived at is them, but there seemed to
be something wrong. He exchanged a look with Desiree, and the two sa car ram.
Mitch was skirting ve century when a woman and Dee-Ann ca ram through the
screen door.
The two reached ch o, and the woman, a lioness, held am o for
backpacking hostel atr will porch railing of s.
She took something, and Dee shouted:
- Weapon!
Mitch was coming, but when the lion saw them, aimed at Desiree and Mitch
and eats or firing their automatic will tica.
Like everything it had desandado t or will pido? In a second, she was
filling her patience is Mitch INSTANCE, on the other, a blonde psycho O tica was
shooting them.

Desiree used the car as a shield and waited while the blonde unloaded. When
there was a break, he crouched and leaned next to the door with a pistol in m
them. He gave three lish shots before the bitch answer. But then OA brunette, tshirt and shorts, was up the blonde with a knife ca a.
The brunette didn`t lifted her bra into a bow; instead, he attacked the
blonde's face, which roared and gave him a slap with the back of m o, knocking
her down. Ent the the blonde got up and made the shoot.
Desiree ducked atr will s car, and could hear the woman down the steps, the
flow of stopping bullets for reloading. Desiree went out again, still bowed, and
opened fire. He hits the feline in the shoulder, but shapeshifters didn`t ca am with
ease.
Instead, it s O was furious, and aimed at Desiree. But before he could eat
air to shoot, the brunette lan or to her and knocked her down with a blow O's.
The blonde fell away, but used am free to look for something in the pocket
of the lime . Another knife, smaller, that stuck on Wed dril the brunette.
Desiree just over a comb bullets and sought another pocket.
The brunette yelped in pain, and the blonde took to get up, kicking the
brunette away. He got to his feet and is turned, aiming the head the brunette.
Desiree embedded comb, released the latch and fired. N o had time to take
aim, but could distract the blonde.
And then heard a roar. All they heard.
- Mitch N o!

But j will was late. He will already had turned and was on the edge of a very
scary forest. She waited the Sufi aware that the blonde could see is it does, then
darted into the woods. And all knew she would follow.
That's what the blonde did, but didn`t before filling the car Desiree bullets.
Desiree plunged in the front seat, the m covering them to the head is at
the shots stop. How did you know that the blonde will already be far quela the
time, he got out to help the brunette, who was trying to get up.
- Youre est you well?
- Yes.
Desiree stretched am o, and the brunette looked for a moment before segur
will -la and accept help. The blood still leaking from the cut on the hip, but Desiree
knew didn`t was nothing too worrying. As Sissy, the brunette was strong as an ox.
- Will be fine? I have to go atr will s ...
- N o, youre didn`t can go. They went to that forest. Youre didn`t can follow
them.
She didn`t knew what the other meant by "this forest. " Was comparing that
forest with qu is? This other forest?
Before I could ask, will v rivers cars arrived. Very robust car, looking tanks.
Sissy left the first one.
- Where is he?
- He took the bitch into the woods - the brunette explained.
Sissy ran, becoming the way. It was amazing to see. Its members moved
fluidly from human to wolf, and the dark sprang from his skin.

- We have to go with it.

Ronnie came over and grabbed the bra the Desiree.
- We can not.
- What you're talking about? - She always thought Ronnie would follow
Sissy anywhere, at it is to hell, but she was im vel O. All were.
- No one is m comes in that forest, Desiree. No one is m.
Sissy was running without seeing anything, following the scent of Mitch.
She warned for didn`t go there. And there was a reason for that. Grandpa O Smith
was the owner of that forest and that hill. It will infuse its power on the ground. A
power that extra e ra of souls and bones of others.
The heran the ancestor of Mitch, those pay the Celts descended of which
would be a full plate for the old lady.
She lived power. It was what kept there for so long. Now, while Sissy
worked his way on the hill, if penetrated ever deeper into the forest, he had to seek
within themselves their power. Something Juju aunt said that Sissy Possu to, and
supposedly Grandpa O Smith feared.
For aunt Juju had reason the ... could be the single way to save your ction
blush.

Mitch was buried on the hill which Sissy had warned him to keep dist
INSTANCE. He ran t or will as fast as p of, but the lioness was even more r
will rupted, even in human form.
And she didn`t change because without thumbs, didn`t could use his
weapon. Mano a mano, el to ever defeat.

When Mitch came from Esquel huts is optical, and that smell caught his
attention the tio, it will j was in front, blocking the passage.
She watched him coldly in the golden eyes, and he knew she was calculating
whether it was worth mat it does now or will try to convince it does is to change to
human. If you remain it up so she didn`t have proof of his death. But Mitch didn`t
had the intention tio Bailout will -la, and she knew it.
He shrugged.
- S O must ensure that youre didn`t trim to the witness.
She raised the gun and took aim in it. Mitch shoved his feet on the ground,
preparing to jump. But then he realized that the didn`t could move. But didn`t
was for fear; he was simply paralyzed.
While the single op invaded, blood splattered on his face, almost blinding.
The bra Lioness them flew, and his gun fell. Both stared at each other for a long
moment before looking at her belly and the tines of a fork that had been stuck
there.
She opened her mouth, but didn`t even said anything, because the weapon
was for ada further up and turned viciously. The head the woman fell forward,
and blood come or dripping from his body.
Mitch swallowed hard, looking for canines eyes that now looked on. She
was old, older than stop cia. And l will be whatever she was doing there, what the
... had changed. Portions were wolf, including fur, claws, bone structure O, while
other parts were human. Putting your weight on the fork, she was at is Mitch.
Limping because he had one foot and is a paw.
He was unable to look away, and she was less than half a meter when he
lifted the fork again. Mitch still didn`t could move. And tried ... ah, how you tried!

Ent o, he waited to die. As had been waiting almost three years lish. N on
what was resigned. N o far, he had found a certain wolf. Sissy was the world to
him, and Mitch was astonished to find a part of her that still thought everything
would work. That, somehow, the two could be together.
But didn`t come out of there alive, and realize it made him furious.
When the tool eats or down, the old lady suddenly stopped.
- Well, well - she said with a voice that is also mn it was very human. You have a lot of anger coming from youre, feline.
Her nose twitched, and she moved a little more, sniffing.
- Youre stinks of Sissy Mae. It's her man? - When Mitch just aen Carou, she
pressed: - Answer me, boy!
Mitch nodded.
- And youre rich? - The old woman sniffed, in a kind of laughter. - Exactly
how am it ezinha ...
He moved, startling them both. But her paw lifted, and Mitch's legs were
trapped again.
- There was a time, boy, when his esp is cie s O served for one thing: to hang
in s will bado night. - She laughed at his pr O would put sick joke, before lifting
the pitchfork another time - but today, I have another use for youre. Some peda
the v being me well useful ...
The forced down, and Mitch watched his death coming. N o could close
your eyes, or will desvi them. Would face everything head on.
what was then rushed at Sissy's it, you little wolf body getting between
him and his crazy relative.

She growled and tried to bite, and the woman retreated to the trope .
- He's my - the old hissed. - Are you in my Yukon Territory O river, Sissy.
It's mine!
Sissy bared his teeth, his body tensing to attack. But didn`t were alone.
Other wolves, four, surrounding the old woman, who smiled.
- It s O youre, Sissy. He didn`t can break the spell. Not like you. And the
other wolves ... they never come the will to c. Are you alone. Ent o, des aa
hill, or I for CA -la to watch what I will do with it.
Sissy stepped tr s will, and more. He recoiled at is staying with Mitch.
rubbed the head against his body, Ro walk up and up, until the fit is the both be
together. She nuzzled against his mane.
Ble invis chains parted, and suddenly Mitch p to move.
The witch looked shocked. In fact, terrified!
- How ... how youre ...
The other wolves retreated.
Mitch stepped forward, followed by others, then Y our roared. The wolves
fled, and the old faced them, but his power had been defeated by Sissy. And she
would never forgive Sissy so.
- Take it, then o. I expect him to keep warm when you're losing your fam
read and his pack, for betraying his esp is cie.
She turned slowly to the body of the dead lion.
- V will, O des aa hill. But didn`t come back, Sissy Mae. Never will be
welcome.

Holding a lion by the ankles, she concluded:

- And take your cat. I'll take mine. I have a use for the bones of this one.
Without another word, she went back to her hut, dragging the lion.
Mitch looked at Sissy. I trust her to know whether they should recover the
cad will see or didn`t.
Sissy balan or fit it and left. Mitch, after a careful look around, followed.
Once Sissy came with Mitch logo will atr s, Ronnie ran at is it. When alcan
or j will Sissy had returned to human form. Ronnie the open or containing l will
tears. I had feared, in fact, didn`t make av is -la.
The old was powerful, and he hated everyone.
- Are you well, O n s are fine. Ronnie walked away.
- She left youre from?
- She didn`t have much choice.
It was only a phrase, but resonated among wolves. All understand its real
meaning. The power of Sissy would never be questioned again. E s O bolder
challenges her laugh by tio the position of alpha.
Ronnie smiled proudly.
Mitch, naked, passed them running, dragging Sissy by m in the dire ction
to cars.
- Come on, we gotta go!
- Go to where?
- The game!
Sissy froze, like the other, and all looked at him.

- N o may be speaking the river is. Mitch stared at her.

- Babe, I'm the receiver. The team depends on me.
Ronnie approached of Sissy and said the what a all They were thinking:
- Oh my God! It is them, now!

The bear struck so is that Mitch flew, still holding the ball. I knew from
Howl p PUBLIC, who had scored the touchdown decisive.
M a huge spread for him, he accepted. Brendon lifted, tapping his shoulder
then.
- Cool, little brother.
- N o can not see straight. But it's alright.
- That bear was aiming youre.
- And where youre was?
- Tipping the other bears that took aim youre. - Brendon smiled. - I knew I
had skill.
- Since didn`t touch the ball.
- Oh, you v ...
Brendon didn`t managed to finish the insult because Sissy lan or up in
Mitch's lap. Holding on to the neck his, her legs around his waist, kissed the
helmet, j will he still didn`t oo had taken.
- Youre was the lovely t playing!
Holding it with one of the m , he took off his helmet in the other.

- Kiss Me.
She obeyed, and all the pain and exhaustion of the FULL EXTENT
hours fled Mitch's body, while the m the Sissy poked in his hair, pressing his
body.
- D will for you is s do it later? - Someone is m complained, but neither gave
am nima.

- You're ready? Mitch nodded.

It was three days lish returned to Filad is lfia, and his testimony was
postponed to this morning . As promised, Sissy went with him. He pulled his tie
again, and Sissy gave her a slap in the m jokingly.
- Will end up strangling.
- I hate to use these things.
- And I hate to see youre using it. But you have to look respeit ble.
He looked out the car windows that police had used to transport them will.
Come O ara the rain last night, en o seemed about to stop t Y our early.
- You want to finish it?
- Yes let's go.
He knocked on the window, and one of the police escort opened the door.
He skirted ve century and found Sissy j will out before he could open the door for
her.
She took her am o, and both entered the court.

Sissy knew something was wrong when the Assistant District Attorney was
at it's them.
- I need to talk youre s two.
She left, and the two followed. Walked into a room and espe rou at is that
they were l you in, then closed the door for the .
- Who was it?
Mitch looked at Sissy before shrug, unsure what to say.
- N o know what you're talking about, Jen.
She threw a folder on the table, letting out within a few photos.
Mitch Debru or moving the images.
- It is The 'Farrell.
- Or what's left of it - Jen growled. After a moment, Mitch's eyes widened
and straightened.
- Wait. I think I have something to do with it?
- Detective, everyone knows about your hand and .
- My ! m and Are you accusing my hand and ?
- And then there is this your new girlfriend, Loba M will!

- Stop! - He looked at the officer. - So what now?
- As well, "and now"? N o have more. Over.

- It is really? - Mitch looked to Sissy. - This it is kind of disappointed.

- You know what I find most fascinating? - Jen leaned on the table, the bra
crossed. She seemed to have calmed down suddenly and smiled at it, but Sissy
didn`t believe for an instant that. The woman was furious. - The fact that the
bounty on your head to was withdrawn.
- Yes, but with dead O 'Farrell ...
- In fact, there will a rumor that youre is intoc ble. Mitch seemed about to
loosen his tie a little more.
- Huh?
- The rumor, and I'm repeating exactly what I heard, is that if you're are
killed, injured, or even touched, whoever has done will be killed in the ction
retaliates.
- Jen ...
- Do not wait. It gets even better. Apparently, it all came from Peter O
'Farrell. N o Peter, that he died. But his son, who should want youre dead, at least
princ pious. But didn`t, he seems to want you is alive and well for many years.
- Ah ...
- Oh, and the people in your vicinity o the est afraid to pass in front of
the house of your hand and .
- Jen, I ...
- N o'll talk about it. - The furious feline came around the table, picking up
the folder and saving the pictures there. - But it's funny ado as we get close to the
goal, only to lose it all. All that effort the O, work ... puff! Ent o, detective, tell
me, I'm planning to continue the pol cia?

Mitch cleared his throat.

- N o. Intended to resign at the end of the trial.
- But didn`t is a sort? Now you can do it today. Everything seems to be
falling into place for you is. His life will're giving t right ... - And with that, he
left the room.
Mitch looked at Sissy.
- Nervosinha, didn`t?
- She'll be back?
- I doubt it.
After a few minutes of a sil is ncio desconfort ble,
Sissy asked:
- What to do now?
- Well, I ... ah, esque a.
- Tell.
- Youre going to get angry.
- Speak soon.
- Right. I'm hungry.
- Mitchell!
- It is you who asked! I'm hungry, well ... His smile was huge and ador ble. Feed me!

Janie Mae sewed her up tio the bedspread, while his sister s worked in
them. The fourth brother , Give it, was on the phone in front of the pie shop.
- It will be beautiful when you're ready, Janie Mae. - Francine examined the
quilt almost finished.
Were working on a fortnightly Standing O, in recent months. Janie knew it
was for Sissy and Mitch. I knew long before them, the stubborn.

Sissy. If I deliver, she will hate at the same time.
Roberta balan or fit a.

Give it back, sitting in his chair and turning aside where it had stopped.
- Are you all set.
- Good And how will Eustice est.?
- Are you well. He likes the life chain.
- I always thought you liked - grumbled Francine.
- They think some c es viralatas entered the chain, then est will fine.
Janette rubbed his eyes.
- How can you believe that?
- Because no one is m want to know the truth - explained Dar l. - They
prefer to believe that a bunch of pit bulls sneaked into a prison to attack the

mobsters than thinking about humans turning into wolves and despeda walk it in
the shower.
- This is sad. Human s the depressing.
- And how is Travis? - Roberta asked, j will forget what they had done to
protect the king of the forest.
- Oh, he's good will. Whimpering like a bebez o. But from what I hear, he
well deserved it. What he said to his sister ca ula was wrong. And Sammy
coped very well with it. It will be a good alpha. Bubba will're seeing that now.
- I told you that boy would alfa this city some day. He's smart, calm, and I
like a lot more than his wife.
- And you're going to tell Sissy what Travis did was wrong, didn`t go, Janie?
Janie gave a fake smile.
- In fact, I told her I was an ungrateful, and that should have left his brother
alone.
The three lish s sister laughed, and Francine stared, incr is dula.
- What is your problem?
- N o'll go easy on her. N o'll accept a daughter who is sitting by the ,
speaking as it was cool when she was sixteen. It has a huge world l will out, and I
want her to see you and win. Nothing will hold my daughter. - She smiled, proud,
thinking about where Sissy had arrived and Quality o far it would still arrive. Not even me.

diagonally on his bed, naked, with p s is on the wall and fit the penden o of the
mattress, Mitch was on the ground o beside the bed, pulling her hair.
- N o preferred a rope, boss?
- No, thanks. Her hair is very strong.

The sun in the morning through the window, and Sissy had an intense
desire to hit the road. N on the run, as they had been for so long, but going
somewhere. Traveling.
- I really am - Mitch murmured, the m them even playing with her hair. - J

- Of course yes.
- N o for saving my life. This will're in your DNA canine, as a s the
Bernard.
- Look ... the beating - she recalled. Mitch laughed, an open of it and drew
it out of bed.
N o had slept all night. Instead, they had cool the bed with one another.
Once Sissy was on the ground with him, Mitch sat with his back propped
against the bed. Sissy tucked between his legs and ran off to play with her hair,
sliding his fingers from the top of the head at the O is the middle of the back. N o
was always Sissy wanted to purr, but this was an occasion worthy o.
- J will long ago that didn`t felt so ... t good - he continued. - And it is

Sissy felt his body stiffen. At Sometimes she was very m will ...

She was leaving? So? After all they had spent together? Damn wolves, and
their travelers genes! And whereas meant for each other? More importantly, what

wake up that way she did?
- Smitty said something about the Jap o.
He imagined that it would leave very happy, again traveling, but planned to
be at her side. Always. It will be Sissy didn`t realize how it was important to her?
Or how it was important to Mitch?
He was ready to give him the gift of spending the rest of his life beside her,
now Sissy spoke of leaving to the West Coast? To see all of you guys there?
How could this be right?
- Yes, but the Jap o s o here is a m s h. Maybe two. You know how s the
O neg these heats. Bobby Ray didn`t will send us to you as l didn`t is all settled.
