Sam shook his head in disbelief. Surely no self-respecting paranormal would bring actual kittens into a shifter bar.
“Just don’t get too comfortable because we’re not staying and that’s that.” Having apparently finished what she needed to say to the occupants of the box, she strode forward and set it on a table in the middle of the bar. She then pulled out a chair, plopped down and leaned over the box to continue a whispered conversation that Sam couldn’t quite make out.
The woman clearly had no sense of self-preservation whatsoever.
She seemed oblivious to the fact that she had the attention of everyone in the bar, all of them paranormals and most of them predators.
Sam hadn’t missed how Travis had prevented Phoenix from immediately approaching the woman, though who could blame him?
After all, she’d come into the bar talking of serial killers and she hadn’t exactly been acting stable since then, talking with boxes about kittens.
At that moment, Phoenix apparently lost patience with her mate because she yanked her hand free and stalked over to the woman’s table.
“Hi there. Welcome to Shenanigans. What can I—” Phoenix cut off her standard greeting with a squeal. Darting forward, she reached into the box and came out with a literal armful of kittens.
Actual kittens.
In a shifter bar.
“Look, Travis,” Phoenix squealed as she whirled toward the bar. “Kittens!”
Travis just grinned.
Ugh. That bear was ridiculously indulgent with his mate. Sam could totally see the writing on the wall.
If this woman was looking for homes for those kittens, she’d come to the right spot. Clearly they were about to have some bar cats.
“Kittens?” Gigi popped up from where she was sitting across the room and made a beeline for Phoenix and the stranger.
Great. Now they’d not only have bar cats, but pack cats as well. Whoever heard of a wolf pack adopting a bunch of kittens?
“Where’d they come from?” Lara, Karl’s witchy mate, asked as she and the other women followed Gigi.
“About an hour west of here. Some jerk left them in a box in a gas station parking lot. I couldn’t leave them behind, of course.”
“Of course not!” Gigi exclaimed as she scooped yet another kitten out of the box.
“How many damn kittens are there?” Adam muttered.
“More than enough for Gigi to claim at least one.” Max chuckled.
“I wouldn’t laugh too hard,” Sam said. “Looks like Glory’s joining them.”
“That’s great news,” Adam said. “Glory will put an end to this nonsense. Kittens don’t belong in a shifter bar.”
Max just groaned and shook his head. “Thanks a lot, Adam. That woman has ears like a bat. She’s going to not only let those kittens stay, she’ll probably insist on adopting several, just to spite us.”
“She wouldn’t dare,” Adam began, but trailed off as they all watched Glory join the women fawning all over the seemingly endless supply of kittens.
“I thought you said you were sending her to the fairies!” Bygul exclaimed.
“I was,” Soraya said. “I did.”
“Well, she obviously took a wrong turn somewhere,” Muezza grumbled.
“Do you think the kittens will be safe with the wolves?” Soraya fretted.
“Safer than they would have been with the fairies and the dragons,” Bygul said.
