think you should weigh your options. There are a lot of people who have grown very fond of you.”
    Dillon waved Jake off, unable to cope with anything right now.
    “Fondness got me screwed and left with a wet ass. I’m through with fondness.” Dillon walked out of the coffee shop. All he had to do now was go get Tulip, and then he could be on his way.
    Dillon circled around the apartment building twice as he tried to figure a way in. He knew there was no door visible from the outside, but he was reluctant to call any of the warriors for help. They would only try and talk him out of his plans to vamoose.
    Dillon swung around when he heard a noise behind him. The man standing on the side of the warriors’ apartment building looked familiar. Wait, wasn’t he the guy that grabbed him in the grocery store and called him human? What was he doing here?
    “You’re human.” The man repeated what he had said last week.
    “No, I’m a fucking green leprechaun looking for me pot o’ gold. Have you seen the idiot who stole it?” This was too easy. He was pissed as hell already at the way Rainerio had used him and then went on to his next conquest, so why not take it out on this repetitive fool?
    “You’re human,” the man said again as he pulled Dillon by his arm, hauling him to the back of the building.
    “ Oh hell. You really are a fucking idiot. I know the demon warriors, and they’re gonna kick your ass when they find out you took me.”
    The man’s eyes narrowed on Dillon as a slow and lecherous smile pulled his lips back. “I’m counting on that, human.”

    Rainerio chased the chameleon-shifter down. They had finally gotten wind of who was posing as other people of Serenity City.
    Rainerio and Takeo had been after him for a full week. He almost got away twice, but they’d managed to get back on his trail.
    Rainerio put on a burst of speed as he leapt through the air and tackled the son of a bitch. He was tired, hungry, and missed Dillon like crazy. It had shocked him when he bonded with the quirky human. He quickly got over his shock and tried to fuck his mate into next year.
    Rainerio had decided in that moment to stop fighting the inevitable. Dillon was his, and Rainerio was proud of the fact. The only thing that sucked about that night was the fact that he had to leave Dillon’s bed when he felt the tugging. Someone was losing his soul, and it was up to the warriors to stop it.
    What clued them in on the person running around pretending to be someone he wasn’t was when he came face to face with himself. The bastard looked just like Rainerio. Once he got over the initial shock, the chase was on.
    He’d left a note on Dillon’s dresser explaining that work called him away and that he would return to his arms as soon as he could.
    The thought of being with his mate again had him yanking his neutralizing cuffs out and slapping them on the chameleon-shifter’s wrists. “There is someone eagerly awaiting your arrival.”
    The shifter struggled against Rainerio and Takeo’s hold. “Please don’t take me to Panahasi.”
    “You should have thought about that before you screwed with people’s identities,” Rainerio snapped as he and Takeo stood on either side of the shifter, walking him back through the shadows and emerging into the demon realm. They walked right into the leader’s living room, depositing the shifter at Panahasi’s feet.
    “Shift,” Panahasi commanded.
    Rainerio watched his mirror image slowly turn to his true form.
    Everyone gasped at the man lying at the leader’s feet.

    Peter bit his nails as he walked briskly to the warriors’ apartment building. He had followed Dillon as soon as he left the coffeehouse.
    Unfortunately, he had lost him as well. There was only one place he could go before he left, to get Tulip.
    He knew right away that the human was an excellent pet parent and wouldn’t leave the one-headed dog behind. Peter only hoped he got there in time
