the tale.
"Now, like I was sayin', these right here sell. But if you're just learning your lady's cycle I
recommend the box that has all kinds in it. Some days women bleed lighter than others. With a box
that has a mix, she'll have whatever she needs."
"Keelan!" Aiden barked. The old man jumped a bit as Keelan raced back to the aisle, he
returned with five boxes that held a variety of capacities.
"Another thing. My wife most days is as sweet as pie. But on the days when she was ahavin'
her cycle, she gets downright ornery. Threw an iron at me once."
"That doesn't sound too bad." Darian commented.
"She had just been ironing, so it was still hot." The older man clarified. Darian flinched.
"Sir, you say that under normal conditions your wife was sweet and good natured?" Gavriel
asked. The older man nodded. Gavriel turned to Aiden concern on his face.
"Meryn is violent and crazy under normal conditions." Gavriel looked as sick as Aiden felt.
"Dude, you're so fucked." Colton whispered.
"If that's the case, I was only going to suggest a chocolate cake, but if you have a feisty gal,
you might want to grab some of the brownies too. Chocolate eases their pain and makes them loving
again. Well, most times." The old man explained.
"Darian, grab three chocolate cakes and five pans of brownies." Aiden ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
"Son, how violent is yer woman?" The older man asked sounding curious. Aiden leaned in
and whispered.
"She knocked me unconscious once with the back of my toilet." The older man's eyes
widened.
"Better get you some chocolate bars. You can throw those from a distance." Aiden nodded.
"I like the way you think." Aiden grabbed the entire box of chocolate bars from the shelf next
to the register as Darian returned with the sweets. The old man rang up his items and gave him a total.
Aiden paid and the men grabbed the bags. They went to leave and Aiden paused. He went back to the
register.
"Thank you very much for your insight. You are very brave and wise to have lived through so
much." Aiden offered him his hand. The older man chuckled and shook Aiden's hand.
"Sounds like you have a firecracker on your hands son."
Aiden grinned wide. "Yes sir, I do, and I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Good for you son. Come back any time for advice."
"Thank you, sir."
Aiden knew that he had found an ally and a valuable source of information on how to take
care of his human mate. Feeling better than he had since Meryn explained her condition he got in the
car and drove back to Lycaonia.

"So where is he now?" Sydney asked.
"Out getting me something from the store. I'm not sure how long it's going to take him so you'll
have to talk fast." Meryn adjusted her cell phone on her ear. As soon as Aiden left, she remembered
the café owner's offer. She decided that while Aiden was out she would give him a call.
"Girl, I can talk fast. Now. Most of the ladies, despite their paranormal selves, are sheep pure
and simple, or should I say simpleton. I swear they share brain cells. There's a real mob mentality
with that bunch. Imagine every single catty, hateful, backstabbing bitch you hated when you read a
regency romance novel and put them in one room and you have the Daughters of Lycaonia Sewing
Circle."
"How did you know I read regency romance?" Meryn interrupted.
"Hasn't everyone?" Sydney asked.
"Good point. Continue."
"Anyway. Most of the women are harmless little sheep, unless they are following someone's
example. In most cases it's either mimicking Adelaide because she really is perfection dah-ling, or
they become backstabbing heifers when they are trying to stay on Daphane Bowers's good side to
avoid retribution."
"So Daphane is the one to watch out for?"
"Yup. Rumor has it she practically had a meltdown when she heard that Adelaide convinced
the council to do that spell to call the warrior's mates to them. She felt like Adelaide was upstaging
her daughter-in-law who just popped pregnant."
"I heard that's like a real important thing." Meryn murmured.
