calculated.
    I took a small step back. It appeared the ‘games’ were about to begin.
    Leo moved to stand next to Malik, brushing his shoulder with his. “She’s our Soul, you arrogant fucks. Nothing is going to change that. Not you two. And no one else.”
    “True.” Phila took a sip of his juice, eyeing them over the bottle’s edge. “But do you really want a woman in your bed, your Soul , who would rather be sleeping with two other men?”
    Ticking hatred peered out of my Vaq’s eyes. They were about to explode.
    The Plumas of the east needed to shut their mouths…if only they weren’t enjoying it so much, the pleasure of pissing off my Vaq there in the shine of their livid gazes.
    They wanted a fight.
    No, too easy. They wanted blood .
    Killeg lifted a finger, murmuring merrily, “After all, you do know that we shared an…intimate…moment with Braita. What makes you believe she wants that with the two of you? From all that we’ve seen, she is far more interested in us. Her own Vaq do not satisfy her. Leave it to the ones who know her body best to take care of her needs.”
    The crater opened, and Hell came out to play.
    I squeaked and pressed my back against the wall, grabbing a picture when it rattled to the edge of a table. I honestly couldn’t see a damn thing as grunts and deep shouts filled the air, the Plumas of the east and west so damn fast the naked Human eye couldn’t track them. I only saw blurs of color as my hair whipped across my face in a breeze, only for my hair to fly the other way as my pretty couch was overturned, bodies flying over it.
    My eyes darted to Jax, but Stiller was shoving him protectively into my kitchen.
    I grabbed onto Sweet Pea’s collar when he raced down the hallway, waking from his nap.
    He barked. I closed my eyes and prayed no one died.
    I whispered, “Please stop.”
    A hurled curse and then blood splattered my front door.
    I glared at the life’s blood as it dripped down the white paint. I shouted, “Please stop!”
    My hov-coffee table crashed to the floor, splintering and shooting pieces over the tile.
    My furious gaze slammed to Stiller. “Do something.”
    His purple hair gleamed under the bright lighting of the kitchen. He shook his head. He wasn’t going to ‘play’ with them.
    Dammit.
    It was Jax who raised a gun straight up and fired three piercing rounds into the ceiling.
    I sucked in a harsh breath as my ears rang and gripped Sweet Pea’s collar tight.
    All froze inside my apartment. My now fucked up apartment.
    Blood dripping and clothing torn, shimmering eyes traveled to Jax.
    He lowered his weapon in a sedate manner. “The four of you are wrecking Braita’s place.” He pointed the gun to all my broken items. “I’m sure she’s not thrilled about this development.”
    I choked, delirious hilarity trying to claw its way up my throat. “Yes, I agree.” With the four Plumas paused in their fight, I quickly shoved Sweet Pea into the bathroom and closed the door on him before turning my attention back to the ‘game’ players. Since they were acting like unruly children…or like the killing machines they were, I took a stern tone. “This is unacceptable behavior in my home. The four of you may be Mian, but this is where a Human resides. I make the rules here, not you.”
    Silver eyes narrowed, and Malik growled, “This is not where you are going to live.”
    “It is.” I held my ground.
    Leo took a step toward me. “Braita, don’t make me carry your ass out of here.”
    My nostrils flared, and I stated casually, “Try it.”
    Golden brows rose. “Are you trying to piss me off more than you already have?”
    “I’m trying to get you to understand I finally have my damn freedom. And the two of you are trying to take it away again!” I pointed a finger at Leo and then Malik. “Let me choose where I want to live and who I want to be with. I may be your Soul, but I have my own mind. My own wants and feelings. Do you really want me
