He tilted his head. “Cora?” I nodded. He shook his head and glanced around the room, settling his gaze on Rebecca in Hudson’s body. “Becca?”

She pouted. “How did you know?”

“Call it a hunch. So who was I kissing?”

“Liz,” Rebecca said.

Ezra grinned. “Meaning Cora’s body is housing Dave. Hence the punch.”

“Yup,” I said.

“How long for?” he asked.

“A day, maybe two,” Dayna informed him.

Ezra jumped to his feet. “So, the real question is, who is sleeping with who tonight?” He eyeballed Rebecca. “I’m not averse to a little kinky shit.”

“Don’t I know it,” Rebecca muttered.

“No kinky shit with my mate’s body,” I snapped. How would that even work? Never mind, I didn’t want to know. I pointed at Rebecca. “You can sleep with me.”

Ezra smirked. “Again?—”

Dayna smacked the back of his head. “No.”

He chuckled. “So Liz sleeps with me?”

“No,” Rebecca and Dave shouted.

“Well, there’s not enough beds for everyone to sleep alone, so we need to figure this out.”

“And I am not sharing with Sebastian,” Dave stated.

“Don’t flatter yourself. You’re not my type.”

Everyone started arguing about a solution. Maggie stood in the hallway, slack jawed. I waved her over. “We had a soul mishap, and we are all muddled up,” I explained. “I’m Cora. Dave is in my body.”

She sucked in a breath. “That’s why you were mean in the kitchen before.”

I was going to murder Dave. Slowly. “Everything will go back to normal soon, but tonight we need a solution, so nobody kills anyone.”

She grinned and raised her hand like she was in class. “I have an idea.”

Oh boy, the teenage bobcat had a plan. We were saved.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

Embrace the weird, or go mad.

Isnore. I couldn’t believe it. Perhaps it was because my body was being invaded by a big shifter? Wow, I snore loud. I rolled over and came face to face with my aunt’s face.

“Tell me that’s not how I sound when I sleep.”

Hudson grinned. “I could, but lies are not a good foundation for our future.”

Rebecca butted her ass against my back and muttered, “Alexa, turn the lights on.” The vampire princess spoke nonsense in her sleep.

“This is impossible,” Sebastian grumbled from Rebecca’s other side. “There has to be a different solution.”
