As far as Merry’s concerned, life is all about the chocolate: where to find it and how to get more of it. Having only recently discovered this sinfully delightful substance, she’s now determined to try every variation that exists… and maybe a few that don’t.
Sam’s stunned to discover the mate he’s been waiting for is nothing like he imagined. The chemistry may be off the charts, but she’s carting around a box of kittens and is obsessed with chocolate. He’s a wolf, for howl’s sake! Kittens and chocolate are like poison to his kind.
Only the matchmaking cats of the goddesses can save this match now.
Chapter One
“SHE’S NOT REALLY a member of the coven,” Bygul protested, “which means she’s not even on our list. I thought we were going to focus on the necromancer next.”
“Are you crazy?” Tivali exclaimed. “I’m hoping if we ignore her, she’ll just go away.”
“Or find her own matches without our help,” Soraya said.
“It’s an excellent plan,” Muezza agreed.
“It’s not excellent at all.” Bygul couldn’t believe the cowardice of his co-workers. “We’re the matchmaking cats of the goddesses! No match is too difficult for us.”
“It’s not about the difficulty level, Bygul,” Tivali said severely. “We matched that grizzly, didn’t we? If we could match him, we can match anyone, but that’s not the point.”
“Then what is the point?”
“Merry deserves a match too,” Soraya said.
Bygul sighed. “Then we’ll add her to the end of the list, but there are three other witches ahead of her.”
“If we wait until the end, she might go back to the Underworld,” Tivali protested.
Bygul thought this would be an excellent development. Then, hopefully, they wouldn’t have to match her at all. “Look, all I’m saying is, she’s wreaking havoc all over Zero and Tempest is about two seconds away from committing sororicide.”
“Sorori-what?” Soraya asked.
“She’s going to kill her sister,” Tivali said impatiently.
“Well, why didn’t he just say that?” Soraya twitched her tail in annoyance. “Because then I would have pointed out that Tempest can’t kill Merry if she isn’t even in Zero anymore.”
“Wait, what?” Bygul glared at Soraya. Why was he always the last to hear these things? “Where’d Merry go and why?”
“It was getting a little hostile in Zero for her,” Soraya said, “so I figured we could send her to the fairies.”
“The fairies?” Bygul, Tivali and Muezza all chorused.
“Yes, the fairies. After all, she is one-quarter fairy.”
“I don’t know why she couldn’t just stay in the Underworld in the first place,” Bygul grumbled. “She’s half-demon, for goddess’ sake!”
“Not demonic enough, I guess,” Soraya said cheerfully. “Anyway, I left a brochure in her room about the fairy mall in Jamesville.”
“The fairy mall isn’t in Jamesville,” Tivali said.
“No, but the hotel that leads to the fairy realm is.”
“Hold on a minute.” Bygul felt as if his head was going to explode from all the implications. “You sent a half-demon, quarter-witch, quarter-fairy to Hotel Shenanigans in Jamesville? The one that’s constantly overrun by goddesses, crazy-ass fairies and dragons?”
“Well,” Soraya hesitated. “Maybe?”
Before Merry left the Underworld, she researched the earth realm and its inhabitants, to try and give herself the best possible chance of experiencing all the wonders Earth had to offer while there.
So far, she had discovered the joys of bowling, roller coasters, movie magic and books. So many wonderful books.
