Lycaonia?"
    Magnus shot a look to Meryn who crossed her eyes at him. He smiled. "I heard you are mated to a walking disaster who destroyed the city square and leveled the Council Manor."
    Meryn gasped. "That's so not fair! Kendrick leveled the Council Manor; I just coated everything in flour glue."
    Magnus continued. "I also heard that you started taking in paranormals around Lycaonia since it was not safe for single families to be alone, that they were being hunted down and killed by a new faction of ferals."
    Aiden nodded. "Did you get the report on the necklaces?"
    Magus walked over to a polished wooden sideboard and picked up a file. He began to flip through the pages. "According to the last report I got from your father and René, the necklaces are being created by using the souls of unborn shifters to house the abilities of their shifter parents and also halt the decay process, which eliminates the foul odor we have used over the centuries to track and find ferals. Amongst those hunted to near extinction are chameleon shifters, which give these new ferals the ability to become invisible."
    "Gods help us!" Tarak whispered.
    "Reapers." Meryn corrected.
    Magnus paused. "I am sorry darling, what?"
    "Anne helped us name the super ferals. We're calling them reapers, like the Grim Reaper, because they take souls," Meryn explained.
    Magnus blinked and then picked up a pen. He wrote down the word on the paper. "That is a very apt name."
    Meryn shrugged. "We liked it."
    Adriel felt as if his blood was about to boil. "And why were the units not told?"
    Magnus winced. "At the time, it was believed that this was confined to Lycaonia. Recent events have proved that assumption false. I am counting on you to get the men up to speed."
    Adriel clenched his teeth together to keep from being disrespectful to his prince. "Yes, sire."
    "Well, that's fucking bullshit!" Meryn exploded.
    All eyes turned to the small human. Adriel wanted to throw his fist in the air in support, but knew that would be considered inappropriate.
    "Now, Meryn," Aiden began.
    "No. No more keeping things from me because I'm pregnant. I can't keep y'all from being stupid if you don't tell me things." She began to pat down her jacket. "Where's my phone?"
    Ryuu stepped forward and handed her the small cellphone. "Here you go denka. "
    "Thanks Ryuu." Meryn looked down and frowned. "No service?"
    "Meryn..." Aiden stepped forward.
    Meryn held up a hand, silencing her mate.
    Ryuu pointed to the wooden table in the corner of the room. " Denka , there is a land line."
    Meryn put her phone away and walked over to the black phone. She lifted the handset and reached out to dial. "Dammit!" She had to pull out her phone and scroll through her numbers.
    "You don't know the number?" Aiden asked.
    Meryn gave him a sour look. "I haven't memorized a phone number since like nineteen ninety-eight." She carefully dialed the number and lifted the handset up to her ear.
    Adriel watched the entire process in fascination. He looked over and saw that Magnus had a shit-eating grin on his face. He knew his prince loved the fact that the small, wacky human was going against every protocol established since the pillar cities were created. Adriel knew Magnus had been dying to do something similar for decades.
    Adriel loved protocol. He loved established sets of rules; they were comforting. He always knew what was the right thing to do. But even he had to admit, the processes they had now were broken, and people were getting hurt because of it.
    "Amelia. Hey. No, I'm fine. Listen, can you get a message out to your friend in Éire Danu? You need to tell her everything we have discovered about the ferals and make sure she tells the units. No, I don't know exactly what they've been told. Evidently, the council has been sending out bits and pieces and didn't think it was important enough to let the men guarding the cities know that they could be facing a new, souped up, invisible enemy. I know right? Make
