started pushing for babies. Can you believe that? He’s like an annoying mother-in-law.” I pounded my head back against the couch. “Trevor gave me half of this club and we’re living together but he still says I’m pulling away. Now he wants marriage. He told me before, that he’d be around no matter what, even if I were to leave him for someone else. So why has it all suddenly changed?”
    “ The Froekn can be very psychic,” Odin shifted to lean against the couch beside me. “Something about their ties to the moon. Maybe he senses something coming.”
    “ Nothing’s coming,” I looked around at the beautiful club he’d created. All the work he’d put into giving the Froekn legitimate jobs so I’d be happy. “I love him. Maybe I should just marry him.”
    “ No,” Odin sat up straight and then relaxed back when I looked at him sharply. “I mean, don’t give in to him just because he’s insecure. You should marry him only if you want to, not because you feel like you have to.”
    “ Maybe you’re right, I don’t know, maybe it’s a moot point and I’ve already lost him.”
    “ He’ll never be lost to you,” Odin’s voice wavered. “He’s a bonded Froekn, nothing you do will ever keep him away.”
    “ Yeah but you forget that I'm part lion now,” I grimaced. “The cat has changed things. There are times when I feel like my lioness wants me to be with a lion. I get strange urges, focus on things I shouldn't. I can feel her pushing at me like an instinct, like an animal conscious telling me I'm going against the laws of Nature by mating a wolf. It's like she doesn't care about my feelings, there's no compassion to it, just right and wrong.”
    “ You don't give her enough credit,” he cocked his head and looked at me over the top of one leather-clad bicep perched on his knee.
    “ My lioness?”
    “ Aren't you a cat lover?” He frowned at me.
    “ Yes,” I thought about Nick, my gray tabby. I'd never accuse him of being heartless. “But a house cat is a lot different from the wildcat its descended from.”
    “ The cat was born when the lion sneezed,” Odin said with a smile. “They are very alike.”
    “ Yeah they hunt and kill things for fun,” I smirked.
    “ Saved by the Lioness.”
    “ What?” I frowned at him now. “Are you speaking in code?”
    “ It was a show on Animal Planet the other day,” he grinned and I had the oddest image of Odin sitting in front of a TV, in a EZ chair, watching Animal Planet.
    “ You have a TV in Valhalla? How exactly does that work?”
    “ I have something even better,” he grinned like a two-year-old with a puppy. “A device called Hlidskjalf which allows me to see into any realm. It also catches cable.”
    “ It catches...” I blinked several times. “Holy shit, you're Santa Claus!”
    “ Hardly,” he made a face and looked over his excellent physique.
    “ You can see anywhere?”
    “ Yes.”
    “ And you have a beard.”
    “ Yes.”
    “ Asgard does get pretty cold.”
    “ Yes but it's not the North Pole.”
    “ Do you own any reindeer?”
    “ No.”
    “ Elves, red suits, a sleigh? Do you ever have the urge to make toys or fill socks with candy?”
    “ No, Vervain,” he chuckled(rather like Ol' St. Nick). “You're getting me off track.”
    “ Oh right,” I thought back. “Back to your Santa-esque ability to see all over the world and also catch cable. I'd like to point out that I don't even catch all the cable channels and I actually live in this realm.”
    “ If you're finished griping about your lack of channel choices?” He looked at me with a raised brow. It was raised over the missing eye so it was a little disturbing.
    “ Of course,” I waved my permission, “please proceed, Santa. Or would you rather I called you Nick? Like my cat.”
    “ Keep it up and I'll start calling you Vivian,” he warned.
    “ Damn you, how do you know about that? You are Santa!”
    My biggest pet peeve was when people insisted on
