Peta (An Elemental Series Novella, 3.5) - Plot & Excerpts
As he tried to convince Lark he hadn’t slept with Maggie, all I could think was that he was protesting an awful lot for his supposed innocence. “You do whatever you want, prick,” I snapped, wanting nothing more than to use his groin for a scratching post, “I need to speak with my charge alone.” Cactus laughed softly. “Maybe you will make her a good familiar, bad luck cat. At least you’re loyal.” I didn’t even try to stop the low hiss that slipped past my lips, or the way my fur stood at attention. He was mocking me, and hurting Lark. A very bad combination as far as I was concerned. Lark bent and scooped me up, and I had to fight the wave of nausea that rolled over me. My body hurt from the tip of my nose to the tip of my tail, but I didn’t want Lark to put me down. Being close to her helped soothe the pain. “A room, Cactus,” she said softly. He gestured to the left and a doorway opened. “Lark, you know me. Maggie isn’t my type in the least.” She nodded, and through the bond, I felt her certainty about his motives solidify.
