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.

Weren’t we just two fucked up peas in a pod.

“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.

I really didn’t need Dexter to start bringing home every mortal he happened upon that was in trouble. We weren’t starting a compound here, for fuck’s sake.

Ghostwriter!!!!

“I’ve been upgraded,” I announced proudly. Corbin and Jude both raised their eyebrows at me in question. “I’ve gone from Creepy Stalker to Sexy Stalker. A definite improvement, I think,” I answered.

Had I broken him? Could you break humans with bad news? Did they short circuit like computers? It did seem he was frozen. Was there a human reset button? Did he need a hard reboot?

“Did you just say ‘he leaked a bit’?” I asked. “From his eyes,” Liam added helpfully. For fuck’s sake.

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