I open it and take it over to the really pretty glass desk. I see the opening that leads into the center and walk inside. This is pretty ***g cool. I tap the table in front of me. He stands across from me as I take the sticker where the trackers sit. “I am going to place this on your pinky finger. I will also have one. Whoever gets to him first,” “Okay, he agrees. “You just can’t touch anything with it until you put it on him. It has to be skin-to-skin contact, I inform him. He holds his massive hands up and then drops his right one. This one.” he nods. “Okay, I laugh. I take his hand and peel one of the tracker stickers with my tweezers. “Mom made me come up to make sure you guys weren’t fooling around,” Andromeda appears out of nowhere. “This place is nice,” she comments. “You’re into planets. I dig that. Finally something interesting about you,” “Go away, the King growls at her. “Whatcha doin?” she asks. “Spy ***t,” I say and gently set the sticker over the center of his finger pad. *Can you see it?” he asks holding his hand closer to his face. “You shou- A croak comes out of me when Andromeda slaps the back of his hand to make him hit himself.

“The tip of my nose,” he licks his lips. His eyes turn down to try and look for it. “Dude, I laugh. “You’re sister is an a***le.” He reaches for his nose and rubs the tip of it. “I don’t feel anything. I told you, I can’t stop laughing “You can stop now, he smirks “I can’t believe she did that, I wipe my tears away. When I look at him, he’s bright red. Even the tips of his ears. Just so you know.

I shake my head. “I’m going to put one on your knuckles. In case you get the chance to hit him.” “Perfect,” he says and holds out his hands for me. I put one right under his middle knuckle and another on his pink finger. I do the same to myself and put everything else away. “What if we get more than one on him?” “Even better,” “Where do you have yours?” he asks. I look up at him and open my mouth to tell him but I don’t think I’m brave enough so I just laugh. “We should go down before your mom comes up here,” I say and laugh at his tracker being right next to mine on my phone. Through the reflection of the elevator, I see him open his mouth to probably ask why I don’t want to answer, but then snaps his mouth shut changing his mind. I turn back to look at him and then look ahead when he doesn’t meet my gaze. The answer is simple.

The tension is cut short when the elevator pings and his mom is standing there almost as if she

She lets out a heavy sigh and turns away to go back to the courtyard. “I was just playing around, Andromeda laughs from the space she and the twins took over near the snacks. “Shut up, Annie. You’re not allowed in Perry’s study anymore,” he growls. “Aww,” her shoulders slump a little as she fakes being disappointed. “What will I ever do? Not wolf bait’s study,” “Annie, both the King and his mother growl at her making the twins giggle. “Whatever,” she rolls her eyes. The king brings over a tray of snacks and drinks to place between us. We’re sitting the furthest from everyone. Silas and a couple of the King’s personal buddies are a few feet away. The light chatter is snuffed out when the unwanted presence arrives with two others. A woman and a man. His eyes scan the area until they land on us. He stares at his brother for a moment before his eyes move to me. “You still have this?” he huffs. “Thought she’d be dead by now,”
