Did you bite Friday?

You know I did I saw it in your mind There’s a bite mark

That made him clench his teeth Why did you bite her?

He got the distinct iht his human half was dumb as dirt To save her

He sucked in a breath, drawing Mace’s attention

“What?” his friend demanded

Striker tried to process what he’d just learned “He said he bit her to save her”

“How the hell would he know to do that? His bite is poisonous It kills people Hoould that save her?”

I know poisons The rattler sounded more than a little superior I knew my poison would eat hers

“He said he knew his poison would eat the one inside her And I think he added a silent asshole on the end of that just for you”

Mace shot hiured it was meant for the diamondback, anyway

And, the rattler said, she’s our mate My bite doesn’t work the same way on our mate as it does on other hue

Everything within him stilled I don’t understand

I’m tired Wakeback to sleep

It wasn’t the first time his other half had referred to Friday as hiselse entirely So that made adrenaline flood his system “Snakes don’t mate for life, do they?”
