“It sounds like you know from experience. This isn’t your first run-in with the douche, is it?”

Eyce chuckled darkly. “He’s got some kind of weird obsession with Hex. He tried to lure him to the dark side when we first escaped Hades. He’s made a couple of appearance since then. Nothing like this, though.”

“He’ll be back, won’t he? I mean, before the equinox?”

“Yes,” Eyce responded as everyone nodded their agreement.

“I knew you were going to say that.” Echo sighed heavily. “Okay, well, I guess we better get started. There’s a lot to do and only two weeks until the next full moon.” He tilted his head to the side as though listening for something. “Where’s Gage and his mates?”

“They went into town to get Mac and Sony some clothes. They’ve been wearing yours, but you’re actually a bit smaller than they are. Besides, it will make them feel more comfortable to have things of their own.”

Echo beamed at Hex. “That’s a wonderful idea.” Then he pushed to his feet and clapped his hands twice. “Okay, move your asses. Myst, I’m hungry. Syx, Vapre, you’re in charge of research. Fiero, Hex, this place looks like a tornado ripped through it. Eyce, Onyx, the laundry is not going to do itself.” He stretched his arms over his head and yawned. “I’m going to take a nap.”

“I love it when he gets all bossy,” Onyx said around his grin. “I’m glad we decided to keep him.”

Myst growled and threw his hands in the air in exasperation. “He’s not a fucking puppy!”

Eyce doubled over in laughter. Things had been good between them before Echo came into their lives, but he couldn’t ever remember laughing so much. It was good to know that if he had to live forever, at least he’d never be bored.

“Wait, I have one more question.” Everyone turned to look at Onyx. Eyce was surprised to find the man staring right back at him. “Why the hell are your eyes blue all of the sudden?”

Eyce smirked and shook his head. “I have a theory, but I’m not telling yet.” Then he turned and started to swagger out of the room.

“Just a little hint,” Myst called after him.

Eyce’s grin stretched across his face, and his heart galloped inside his chest. “I got the first one.”
