“True. Sorry! I wasn’t even sure if it would work,” Adam said.

“Then why did you take me here!” Stryker shouted.

“It seemed like a good idea at the time,” Adam told him.

“It seemed like a good idea?” Stryker screeched. This was bad. So very bad! Stryker was all for causing chaos, but he wanted to live to at least enjoy some time being mated to Gavin.

A phone started to ring. Arran groaned before he reached into his pocket and answered. He narrowed his eyes at Adam before he barked. “Hello?”

Stryker really needed to be careful what ideas he came up with. Having his new friends by his side was both fun and terrifying. Anything could have happened to them. Maybe Gavin was right. Stryker needed to learn more about this new world he’d found himself in.

“Yes,” Arran said into the phone. “They’re here.”

And Gavin was going to be pissed.

“Permission granted,” Arran said then hung up the phone.

A second later Mal and Gavin popped into the room.

“Hi, mate!” Adam waved to Mal.

Mal growled.

Gavin stomped forward.

“This was not my fault.” Stryker held his hands up.

“Do you have any idea how it feels to have my mate constantly disappearing on me?” Gavin asked.

Stryker sighed. “I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean for this to happen.”

Gavin pulled him close. “I’m not letting you out of my sight ever again. I’m going to tie you to my side.”

“I’m okay with that.” Stryker held on tight to Gavin. There was fun and then there was just crazy. Adam might be a little too crazy even for him. Not that Stryker was over causing trouble with Adam. He just needed to plan ahead better where he had more control.

“So!” Juniper clapped his hands. “Who wants a tour? Maybe you can even meet one of the seahorses! Just don’t try to ride them.”

Stryker perked up and Gavin groaned.

“Seahorses?” Stryker asked.

“Don’t try to ride them,” Gavin warned.

But that sounded awesome! A seahorse ride? What would be better than that? “Sure, I’ll totally be cool.” Now, he wondered what he could bribe a seahorse with.

“This isn’t going to end well,” Gavin murmured.

Stryker rose to his tiptoes and kissed him. “How bad can it be?”

Gavin groaned again.
