She knew that symbol. “He’s a reaper?”
Salat was giggling.Giggling. “If he’s black with bronze highlights, you were with Denier. I am guessing you did not exchange names.”
Lyric looked concerned. “Brit? What happened?”
“Ylara was in heat, so she called Sabine and me to help. So we did. We broke down the group of alphas and divided them. Then I ran away. Well, flew away.”
Salat nodded. “Oh, yeah, that wouldn’t wake up every hunting instinct he has.”
“What wouldn’t have woken him up?”
Salat shrugged. “I dunno. I am guessing that I know what payment he demanded. He’s famous for that one at the BDC resort.”
“Oh, so he does it a lot.”
“That is how he gains pleasure. He gives it first and then consumes it.”
She chuckled. “That seems to be how things went down.”
Baola was sitting with her mother’s hands over her ears.
“You weren’t wearing another body at the time?” Khytten sipped at her tea.
“I wore Ylara to draw him away, but it was just light contact, and it wore off quickly. I even explained to him what I had done and why. She gets to choose; she doesn’t get to be hunted.”
Salat chuckled. “What about you?”
Brit shrugged. “I get to hide. I pulled the tracker out of my heel, so I am going to end up arrested if I go home. I just need a few hours to create a game plan and figure out where to go.” She smiled. “And coffee. I definitely need coffee.”
Household staff started coming out with breakfast and adapted easily to the extra mouth. When her favourite chocolate croissant was set in front of her, she realized that her arrival might not be unexpected at all.
Baola cuddled next to her and grinned. “Breakfast time, Auntie. You can plan to run later.”
Khytten grinned, and she picked up her com, typing quickly. “I just had a thought. Tirra is going to come by later, and she might be able to give you a job. You have dual citizenship, so we just need to report you to customs and border patrol. You can work as a standard member of resort staff.”
Baola and Lyric said, “No.”
Everyone turned to stare at them, but when she felt a presence behind her, Lyric put her hands over her daughter’s ears as Brittany muttered, “Fuck me.”
Salat exploded in laughter and went to greet the newcomer.
