He’s a bitch. Tell him to suck it up. In my day, we loved battle. Humans have gotten soft. They have de-evolved.

Flynn laughed at what his mate was saying because it was so absurd.

That’s because you’re a God. Humans DIE!

From behind the wheel, Tommy was curious.

“What is he saying about me?” Tommy asked.

Because he didn’t want to upset anyone, Flynn lied and took one for the team.

“Rinnon said he likes your shoes, and he’s jealous he doesn’t have a pair like that. He wanted me to steal them for him.”

I did not. I called him a bitch. What is the point of you if you won’t tell them what I really say?

Because I’m not rude, and you are.

Well, clearly. I like being me. I created this shitshow, and I get to be rude!

Flynn just shook his head.

As they drove down the long drive, much like the one they had at their home, they saw it in the trees.

“Okay, everyone stick close, and try not to get lost,” he said.

That’s the problem with humans. They get lost.

Uh, I was human once.

And?

Rinnon was twitchy, and it was clear he wanted out. Flynn wasn’t letting that happen unless he knew they weren’t safe. The Big Scary could make a mess.

I can hear you.

I’m aware.

As Tommy brought the vehicle to a stop, that’s when they knew they had a huge issue.

“Uh, Flynn, those are dead bodies,” Jolie said, pointing them out. They looked like they had been running from the house, and were now deceased and on the ground.

Let me out! This is my area! If this is a trap, you can’t protect my woman and child like I can.

She’s my woman too, cranky.

Please. It’s my child she carries.

He heard the pleading in his voice, and he wouldn’t stand between them.

Just be careful. I’ve had my Flynn suit kicked around plenty today. It’s been a long-ass day.

I will be.

Flynn released Rinnon, and everyone in the car felt him.

They had a new leader now.

Rinnon got out of the vehicle, and he was holding Jolie’s hand with her body slightly behind his. He sniffed the air.
