How to Hack a Hellhound (Hellhounds of Paradise Falls #2)

by Shannon Mae

Monsters were out there, but so far all the monsters I’d met in real life had been one hundred percent human.

Quinton was a flame in the darkness, and I wanted to set him free and watch him burn. I would make sure no one ever again tried to put out his fire.

“Cassius wants to know what’s going on with Q and Aiden. He’s pissed. He did adopt them, and then you stole and rehomed them.” I sighed, rubbing the bridge of my nose. “Dex, they aren’t stray pets.” Dex looked offended. “I know that! They’re stray humans. Obviously. I still don’t think you can just steal and rehome them.” I just shook my head. Dex was… well, he was Dex. Not the most human-savvy hellhound of the group.

We weren’t starting a compound here, for fuck’s sake.

“Of course, I would hunt you down in a very nice way and bring you back willingly,” I said, nodding. “Toby always says consent is important. And if you didn’t want to come back then we’d all just follow you around or something. Although we like it here, so we’d all prefer it if you'd stay.”

Sometimes it’s better to grieve someone than to punish them. Grieve the man you thought he was. It’s ok.”
