Chapter "Did you watch these movies with Darren?" "No, Darren thought watching TV was a waste of time. I watched movies with Morgan when Calvin rejected her. We spent that first Summer locked in her room watching every Disney Princess movie on the app on her laptop and eating junk food. They also have the best selection of Shark Week documentaries, "You like sharks?"

"I love sharks. Like a st***d amount for someone who isn't a Marine Biologist. When I'm super drunk I watch the ones where poachers cut their fins off and throw them back to let them die and cry for hours. It's probably as pathetic as your scrapbooking." "You should scrapbook about sharks while we watch shark documentaries. Since you're so keen on death. I'd like to keep something of yours that is ours," he leans back against the sofa behind him. "Taking a page out of your book, everything else I'm going to burn. Starting with those sneakers. I don't know why you liked them. I can't believe a store in my village had them,"

"You're going to miss me?" I laugh.

"I going to miss having a vicious pet around. I might replace you with a Doberman,"

"You gonna f***k that one too?" I glare at him.

"Gross," Andromeda's voice echoes from somewhere. "Mom told me to come get y you guys for dinner,"

"I am not f***g you in the same room you keep your mate, Sicko," he shoves my head and stands up. "We should bring you to therapy on Saturdays," "Only if you give me a heads up so I can take my urn to his dad's for a visit,"

I listen to Andromeda tell the King about her incredibly mundane day at school. They're amazingly close. She reminds me a little of Mackenzie and I find myself missing her for the first time in a while. If she were here, she'd be laughing at my situation. If she had been around, the alphas would already probably be dead. If I can bend my morality to get s** done- nah. I doubt Mack even knows what morals are anymore. I could use her right about now. Even if it's just for her to rip me a new one in a way only a Phurry can. I tune everyone out as I try to piece everything together in the back of my head. Lycan blood sells on the black market for top dollar. Dozens of people would do anything they can to get their hands on it. To have a live specimen would be the science freaks wettest dream. I think of a a couple of vampires who might want one or two. The King doesn't have to know what happens to the victim after we catch one, but James does. He fucked with the Lycan King and now the King has me. It's time we teach him a very valuable lesson. One I was taught at a very young age. Don't ***k with the nice one. They probably have an unhinge sibling, mate, or pet f***g werewolf they bought for two hundred thousand regular American dollars. F**k Calvin and his entire bloodline. I'm worth at least two hundred thousand Paw Coins. I almost have a master's and I've got a sick- a***bank account. Well, I used to. I gave it to the King. "You stare off into space a lot, Alegra says. When my attention shaps to her I realize that it's just the two of us sitting here. I was done eating a long time ago. I just didn't want to be the first one to leave. "What are you thinking about so hard?" "Extortion, kidnapping, illegal supernatural trafficking, and murder,"

"In that order?" she grins.
