“Weird like this?”
Her shriek stabbed into my sensitive ears in the confined space of the car, and I scowled at her.
Behind us, Danica cracked up. “I’d heard mated wolves could communicate that way,” she murmured.
Evie just gaped. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“We only just solidified the bond,” I said. I didn’t tell Evie that before she fully opened her end, the thought of reaching for her in such an intimate way, only for her not to be able to hear me…
It had been intolerable.
“We’ll talk later,”I said. Evie glanced at Danica, who was frowning into space, likely having a conversation of her own.
“Okay.”
I parked outside my house. Tobias opened the door and grinned at Danica and Evie. “I made snacks,” he said.
Danica glanced at me. “You told him we were on the way?”
I nodded, and she stepped inside, inhaling the scent of his famous crack dip.
“Maybe Bael was right about stealing Tobias,” she muttered.
Evie bared her teeth at her sister. “Ours,” she growled, and it was the cutest fucking thing I’d ever seen.
I couldn’t help but drag her to me for a deep kiss. She smiled against my mouth.
“I’m going to let you spend some time with your sister,” I murmured, forcing myself to pull away.
Evie frowned, but a glance at Danica had her nodding. They hadn’t spent nearly enough time together, and I knew Evie missed her.
“Nope.” Danica moved toward the living room. “I need to get to know my new brother-in-law. Have a drink with us, Nathaniel.”
Tobias had disappeared into the kitchen.
“One drink,” I said.
“I want to check on Virtus first,” Evie said.
Virtus was still resting on the sofa. “Hey, buddy,” Danica murmured, leaning down while Evie stroked his ears. “How are you feeling?”
Virtus opened his eyes and yawned, flashing his teeth.
“He says he’s feeling better,” Danica relayed. “And he’d like us to drink in here so he can hang out with us.”
Evie frowned down at the griffin. “Are you sure? I think you’re supposed to be sleeping.”
The griffin gave her the side-eye, and she grinned. “Fine.”

Evie
Danica choked,tequila dripping from her nose. I cracked up. Beside me, Nathaniel let out a low rumble of amusement.
I hadn’t had this much fun in a long time.
Tobias had made frozen margaritas and served nachos, crack dip, and chocolate brownies—which we had demolished. I’d invited him to come drink with us, but he’d insisted he had things to do.
