The group chat—Rune’s Mate Squad—lit up my screen.

Slater Havoc

Did you guys have that bullshit advisor meeting?

Zuko Vyre

Unfortunately.

Slater Havoc

How did my venom baby do?

I smirked and typed back.

Rune Bloodwyne

It was necessary bullshit. But it’s over now.

Koa’s reply popped up almost immediately.

Koa Ashbourne

I had another one scheduled.

Zuko Vyre

Same. I told him to fuck off, and he canceled it, though.

I snorted.

Slater Havoc

I want to come sleep with my venom baby.

Zuko Vyre

Same. This bed is cold without my pretty little poison to keep me warm.

Koa Ashbourne

Agreed. I miss you so much, little vixen.

Drecken Grimsworn

I’d be over there if I didn’t have a new human to dissect.

Jesper Wyvernheart

I’d also come over, but unfortunately I’m on a reconnaissance mission before you start the next mission with us.

Slater Havoc

The new House Head is a pain in the ass.

Dimitri leaned over to see the screen. “I am the House Head,” he bragged.

I grinned and typed.
