Page 141 of Her Psycho Beasts

The remainder of my flight is non-eventful other than the rotating thoughts on a carousel in my mind. I ruminate on everything that happened last night. The sensations of being so close to Scythe, and the new, uncomfortable valley now between us. Sex had brought me closer to my other mates, had changed our relationship for the better. But sex with Scythe had been completely misleading. Iknowhe enjoyed it. I know he was being truthful about everything he’d said. That it all came from the heart. It had been raw and honest.

And yet it had done nothing but make him talk aboutreplacinghimself. With Beak, of all beasts! I don’t know if I’ll be able to look at the eagle again after this. Does he know? Had Scythe hinted at it, or was everyone unaware?

The sky helps me work through these thoughts, and by the time my freedom ends, I’m thoroughly exhausted and ready for bed.

I see Animus Academy on the horizon just before sunset. Lyle, Savage, Damien Agnis, and a couple of guards wait for me at the open school gates. A dramatic reception, if I ever saw one. I wonder if I’ll get detention again.

Scythe and Xander are nowhere in sight. In fact, I can’t sense Scythe here at all. They must not be back yet, and the fact that Ibeat the both of them on their fancy vehicles makes this return all the more sweet.

“A receiving party,”I drawl to my mates.“Exactly what I need.”

“You get what you get,”Lyle growls back.“For scaring the shit out of us.”

I watch them from above, reluctant to start my descent. As soon as I get close to the protective dome, I wheel back around.

“Get down here, regina,”Savage demands.

But I want to savour my freedom for a bit longer because suddenly, the walls of Animus Academy look so small. It’s a big complex, but looks tiny from up here, and that powerful, electric dome that fried my brains out not that long ago looks miniscule compared to the open sky.

Minuscule and suffocating.

Although I want my mates, I don’t want to go back to the academy.

“Regina.”Lyle’s animus is so impatient. I bet he’s going to tell me all about it in bed tonight.

“Fine.”I tuck my wings and angle my beak down.

And plummet right at them.

Damien shouts as I spear towards the group, faster and faster. Picking up speed until I’m nothing but a missile made of feathers and hollow bones.

Just before the ground slams into me,Islam intoit,shifting into my human form and landing in a crouch, cushioned just enough by my telekinesis so I don’t break my legs.

The ground shudders. A dust cloud billows in the air.

“Wow!” Savage cries.

My anima preens under his admiration.

I rise, toss my head to get my hair off my face, and stalk through the open academy gates, leaving the males gaping in my wake.

Scythe and Xander arrive half an hour later, their bikes loud enough for me to hear them all the way up in the shower of our suite, where Lyle and Savage are telling me exactly how unhappy they are with me.

The floor trembles as a wave of my power rolls around the room.

“Bastards,” I groan around Lyle’s cock. He’d shoved it into my mouth after I’d demanded he do so.

Savage growls from where I’m sitting on his face. I lift my ass so he can speak. “Are those my bikes?”

I make a sound of assent as Lyle’s fingers possessively stroke my neck and I sit back down on Savage’s face. I pop Lyle’s cock out of my mouth and lick the large, glistening head.

“I need you to take my power,” I say to my wolf. “Can you do it with your mouth?

Savage makes a sound that I take to mean,“I don’t know, but I’ll try.”

So I grind against his face as he works his tongue into a delicious rhythm.

“Is it a problem, angel?” Lyle pants as I trace one of his thick veins with my tongue, savouring his heady taste.
