Chapter 25 (Jace)

I already don’t like this bear. Well, I don’ t like any of them. Their welcome has been less than warm.

Jordan moves to take her bag off my shoulder.

“I’ve got it,” I tell her.

“Do you need help, pup? I can carry those for you?” one of the bears asks. ‘Jace, please. I know they’re on your last nerve already, but we’re here to make alliances. To do that, we need to be friendly,’ Jordan says in my head.

‘Tell that to our car, Jordan,’ I say, but slap a smile on my face and look at the bear.

“I’m good thanks, Pops,” I say. It worked for Jordan and Balor, maybe it’ II work for me and this guy.

“You know our names, what are your names?” Jordan asks.

“My name’s Darryl, sweetheart. I’m Balor’s second in command,” one of the bears says to Jordan. I try to hold back the growl at him calling her sweetheart, but it doesn’t quite work. I swear I see him look at Balor who smirks back at him. They’re enjoying this.

“Gamma? Isn’t that like, third in command?” the shoulder-smacker bear asks.

I look at him. “That’s right,” I say.
