“In two days, Peach is having her new bakery opening, and Bax is going to be there,” Sage speaks up, his light-green eyes widening as he remembers. “We could use that.”

“Peach? Why does that name sound familiar,” Saylor muses, her brow furrowed and her finger tapping on her cheek.

“She’s the best baker in the Shifter Kingdom,” Sage replies,making Saylor gasp in offense.

“Better than me?”

The brothers clear their throats, and Salem draws his finger across his neck while smirking at Sage.

You’re fucked, Silver mouths, his lip twitching.

“I didn’t say that.”

“Why have I never tried this? Peach?” Salem asks, scowling. “You’ve been going to eat cake without me?”

“You can’t try a person.” Sage smirks, finding the whole thing amusing.

“Now I know where I’ve heard the name. At the strip club!” Saylor calls out.

All the eyes in the room go to her. “You went to a strip club?” Shadow barks, looking around at his three brothers. “Has no one been watching over her?”

“It’s a full-time job…” Silver replies, turning his head to look at me, “… that we’ve now passed on to Bane here.”

“Where’s the strip club?” Kai asks, looking toward Axe with an arched brow. “And why don’t we have one?”

“We wouldn’t know anything about strip clubs. We are all virgins,” Silver says with a straight face, winking at his sister.

“I know you’re not, Silver, so you can cut the shit,” Saylor replies, rolling her eyes. “I know you said that to try and keep me a virgin, but the jig is up. I’ve had sex with two people at this table.”

Rave scrubs his hand down his face as Astrid scowls at him at the reminder.

“Don’t fucking remind me,” Salem yells, slamming his hand down on the table. “And actually, I am a virgin, Saylor. That wasn’t a lie.”

“You literally got caught going down on Pandora,” Astrid murmurs, turning the heat onto Salem.

“I fucking knew that happened! It wasn’t a dream, was it?”Salem roars.

“Motherfucker,” Soren mutters, lifting Pandora to sit on his lap and scowling at Salem. “It was a fucking dream, trust me.”

He throws in a scowl at August as if only just remembering their history too.

“Yeah, I ate her. I didn’t fuck her,” Salem replies, leaning back in his chair and surveying the group. “You know how much I like to eat.”

“For fuck’s sake,” Shadow mutters, kissing Laurel’s temple. She snuggles into him and glances around the table, wondering who will say what next.

“We have a sex club, pretty sure that’s enough,” Axe answers Kai, smirking at me. “Although, ever since Bane left, so have some of the females.”

I widen my eyes in a way that clearly tells him he shouldshut the fuck upright now.

Saylor’s head snaps to me faster than I’ve ever seen her move. “I’m sorry, what?”

“Do the seers see anything wrong with this plan?” August asks, trying to change the subject for me. He’s only been listening to this entire shit show of a meeting, so him speaking up now means he’s my new favorite adopted brother.

“All I’ve seen is that King Baxwilldie,” Astrid replies, shrugging and looking at Laurel. “You?”

“I think it’s a good plan,” she says, closing her eyes for a moment. “King Bax will die. And Raiden will reign. He will be a much better king for the shifter people.” Her brown eyes open. “And one more thing…” she addresses August. “You all need to turn Milana to our side. If you don’t, something bad is going to happen.”

And now all eyes are on August.
