Share Us
Snake hisses, echoing Fox’s tone.
“I believe we’re all ready to go,” I tell Scar.
He nods and leads us through the portal.
I don’t understand why Scar wants to share the Alpha’s position with us when he is the one who is going to defeat the Alpha. He has always been the leader, the parent, the one with the knowledge.
It is another thing that is going to change.
Perhaps that is why it is troubling me.
I should not think about it now.
I need to be ready for the different scenarios we prepared for last night. We all require to be at our best, prepared for anything and ready to adapt as needed.
“I wish we had more of those cookies,” Fox admits as he steps into the forest.
Snake is quick to agree, in his loudest, most enthusiastic hiss.
The sound is short and sharp and hurts my ears.
I frown at Snake, and he sticks his tongue out soundlessly in apology.
“I will ask my mother to bake more another time,” Scar promises.
“I think you’ll need to share them with Snake,” I tell Fox.
“Well, sure,” Fox says, as if I’m being insulting. “Snake and I are used to sharing.”
His black lips twitch. “You are the one who will need to become more open to that concept.”
Why do I just know he isn’t talking about cookies?
When I think about how comfortable he got with Snake and our mate, and how awkward it felt when she brought me closer, I know he’s talking about how things are going to work if we all claim Lita.
Snake makes a weird noise that is like laughter to him.
Fox chuckles a little at his own joke while I narrow my eyes at him.
“That is not true,” I protest.
Scar snorts, and I stare at him as he glances back at us.
“You are very possessive of your things,” he reminds me.
My hand goes to the pouch attached to my loin cloth automatically.
“That’s because they belong to me. There is nothing wrong with that.”
“Hmm,” Fox utters.
Snake gives out one of his less identifiable hisses.
It’s a subtle sound that I’m guessing is meant to echo Fox’s sentiment, because he almost always echoes Fox’s sentiments.
“We are getting close to town,” Scar reminds us, for Fox’s benefit more than anything.
Our mouthy feline brother doesn’t seem pleased, but he manages to keep quiet.
