Page 66 of Psycho Devils: Aran's Story 2

The last line of people came into view.

“The shifter legion.”

The realm stopped spinning.

My jaw dropped.

In a religious way, immediate smash. In a realistic way, hard pass.

Four powerful men stalked behind a short, scowling woman. She had long white hair and glowing ruby eyes and wore a low-cut top that showed off a patchwork of thin, jagged scars. She was missing a finger.

“Wait, isn’t that…” John trailed off with a frown.

The kings swore under their breath.

I bounced up and down on my toes and tried to stop myself from running across the room and flying into her arms.

“We’re honored to have you,” Lothaire said, and Sadie ignored him.

She shoved between the devil legion and forced the tattooed men to move over so she could squeeze next to me in line.

Tal from the House of Dar puffed up his chest with aggression.

He quickly piped down once four shifters surrounded him with glowing eyes. Xerxes brandished his knives, and Ascher cracked his knuckles.

The shifter legion settled into line beside us, and Sadie launched herself into my arms. She straddled me and squealed, “Oh my sun god, you’re a girl again! Damn, I forgot how gorgeous you were. Sexy mama.”

I choked on laughter. “Never call me that again.”

“Get out of our line.” John stared at her with narrowed eyes, and I stomped on his foot. He’d never liked her for some reason.

“I can’t believe you’re here,” I whispered to Sadie.

She squeezed. “I know. We’re going to have so much fun together!”

Lothaire cleared his throat, and Sadie awkwardly climbed off me. Cobra grabbed her shoulders and yanked her into line behind him.

Her snake shifter mate glared at me with slit pupils and said, “Aran.”

“Cobra.” I glared back.

He scowled menacingly.

Lothaire raised both his fists and tipped his head back as he bellowed, “We bleed for the gods!”

Everyone chanted back, “And we will kill for the glory!”

Students stomped their feet and hollered.

Sadie and I locked eyes.

“Kind of fun,” she whispered at the same time I said, “We’re so screwed.”
