I went five years with barely one hour of sleep a day. Staying awake more than one hour now was getting harder and harder by the day. 

This whole ‘cat’ gig is making me lazy. Eat, sleep, poop and repeat. That is literally my entire day. Well that and torment whoever   happens to be in my path. Still, keeping myself alert shouldn’t be this big of a chore.

Kratos hired me to do a job, and that job wasn’t catching up on my beauty rest. 

When Jace, Azariah and Micah left to go deal with Malcomb, everything was somewhat normal. Amber was a bit high strung, but I guess that’s to be expected. Due to her pregnancy, she had to stay behind and man the fort. Matias, Ryan and Noah were up with her, and they were all pacing around trying to find something to occupy themselves with. Amora and the pups were the only ones sleeping. Which I would also be doing, however, tonight was not the night to drop the ball.

Every so often I do a quick check on the pups, then head back downstairs so I don’t miss out on anything. This was the big night where Selena’s visions start to get fuzzy. Kratos would likely skin me alive if I miss an important detail. He’d have to catch me first, but considering how many allies that guy has, he’d eventually catch up with me. 

Noah was currently in wolf form, laying beside Amber who was staring at her computer. He drew the short straw and had to take the first shift. When he shifts back, Ryan would take over. Personally, I think the Goddess should have given them the ability to mind link while in their human forms as well, but I don’t get a say in the matter. It would definitely be more convenient.

My only source of entertainment is running circles around Noah’s wolf, and swatting him, or biting his tail. I’ve been captured a few times by Ryan and Matias, who both scold me, saying that if I’m not a good boy, Noah just might eat me.

Love to see him try!

Can you imagine the look on his face if I were to morph into a large three headed beast like my grandmother? It’s an entertaining thought, but for now I think I’ll just behave myself.

The sound of Amber’s phone ringing sends a chill down my spine. Plenty of times in my life I’ve detected danger long before it arrived at my door. The whole Minos’ granddaughter excluded of course. I have no excuse as to how she pulled a fast one on me. It feels like the entire room goes into slow motion as she grabs her phone and answers. 

Matias and Ryan approach her, waiting to see what was being said. Within seconds, Noah’s wolf starts to vibrate, his fur receding back into his skin. From what I gather, he is considered a slow shifter, making the process that much more painful. I know nothing about the sensations felt during this event, but from where I was sitting I can tell you it looks disgusting. My small ears pick up on the sound of his bones snapping back into a different shape. Disgusting might be putting it lightly. 

“Who was shot?” Matias hollers. 

“He doesn’t know for sure, but Jace told them to take shelter.” Amber frantically responds. She continues talking on the phone, asking questions and barking out orders. “Micah Jace and Finn didn’t return with them.” Her voice is just above a whisper, as if she was out of breath. 

Fuck! Kratos? I call out for him, and wait a minute for him to respond to me. Kratos? Come on you dumb son of a bitch, something big is happening.

Still, I don’t get a reply. 

Noah jumps up from the floor, not even slightly embarrassed that his dick was hanging out for everyone to see. “It was Jace. They shot him.” He puts his hands on his knees and leans over due to the exhaustion of shifting. Tears bloomed in his eyes, and the only way I know this is because I was sitting underneath him. He was trying to hide his emotions from the others, but he couldn’t hide from me.
