He shook his head, and there were thick and wide ram’s horns growing out of his skull.

“Oh. That looks heavy.”

He chuckled. “It is part of me. It’s the feet that are the issue.”

She looked at his feet, and he pulled his trouser leg up. A wide hoof was the end of his leg. “Wow. Unexpected. What are you?”

“Satyr.”

Zhin smiled and shifted into dark green with a halo of leaves. “Green man. All normal bits, just green.”

“Cool. So, I can tell you two apart in the dark.”

They laughed, finished off their picnic, and took their pros and cons list with them.

She stretched and said, “Well, that was interesting.”

Knur shook his head. “It isn’t over. We still need to make a decision.”

“Shoot. Well, I will ask the ladies if we can pop by and use the gardens.” Pandora pulled out her phone and made the call.

Regis’s tone was wry.“You want to bring two dark Elite alphas here?”

“Yes, Regis. I want to get Ira’s input on guestrooms in case she gets to come and stay over on date night.”

Regis chuckled.“Right. Thanks for thinking of that. Yes, I can let them in today, but you know that once we get the survivors here, they aren’t going to be welcome for quite a while.”

“I know. Fortunately, we are five minutes away.”

“Seriously?”

“Seriously. We will be there shortly.”

“I will put the coffee on.”

“Um, how about lemonade?”

There was laughter before Regis stopped the call.

“Okay, I am going to have to drive for this one, but the other can follow me.”

Zhin smiled. “I will come with you.”

Knur sighed. “I will follow closely.”

“Great. This is not the situation when I want you up my backside.”

He laughed. “I will restrain myself.”

“Excellent. Gather up the boxes, and let’s go.”

Zhin chuckled. “You are very direct for an omega.”

“And you are slow for an alpha. Come on. Shift it.”

She got up and looked out over the expansive back yard that had a lake and a creek running through it.

Knur wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek. “Let’s go.”
