Secretly part otherworlder herself, she was flat-out done with prejudice And now that Kyrin’s blood flowed through Dallas’s veins—again secretly—Dallas thankfully was, too

“Nope I didn’t,” her second-in-cohtest hint of relish “Anyhile I was apologizing to the otherworlder for all huues, Ava and Noelle went Death Match on the assles in question Now, I didn’t see who started it, you understand, just heard a commotion and turned around By that ti, burly round, and Ava and Noelle were grinning and banging their fists together in a job well done”

Mia cut back ato be hell—and apparently hospital bills—to pay for that Death Match Not just for the males, but for herself ‘Cause yeah, top brass would rip into her until she begged for mercy Which meant they would pretty much rip into her until she bled to death, because she never begged for anything Well, except when Kyrin got her into bed

Three boos for her boss deciding to retire early Had he stayed, this would have been his problem

Nah, Mia thought then The pair hadn’t been , and Noelle’s first disorderly conduct arrest had happened years ago Mia knew because she’d studied Treed delinquent anywhere near the AIR building

Now, poor but deceptively sweet-looking Ava, Mia understood The girl had double the arrests, but then, she’d grown up on New Chicago’s dirtiest streets Just like Mia had There, you were predator or prey, and there was no round

Mia sighed “So what you’re telling me, Dally, is that it’s time to promote these two heathens”
