as their ax-wielding knights destroyed fire-breathing dragons. She didn’t understand their obsession with the game, but she had to admit that the whole thing was pretty interesting. She was starting to feel pretty comfortable until Mark twisted his hips and farted.
    “Gross man, come on,” Gully objected.
    “What? You know you do it,” Mark retaliated.
    “Ahhh, gross,” Frank protested.
    “What did you eat?” Patrick said, taking one hand off the controller to cover his nose.
    “It’s natural,” Mark retorted.
    “Ain’t nothing about that smell is natural,” Frank replied.
    Mark sucked his teeth in angry defeat.
    Saki had never really hung out with boys before. After all, until moving back to the island, boys seem to think she was invisible. It turned out that when they weren’t trying to impress you, boys were pretty gross. She couldn’t imagine Lane acting this way. For that matter, she couldn’t imagine Dax acting this way, either.
    Saki got up with her glass of apple juice in hand. Her intention was to refill her glass, but instead, she took the opportunity to explore the house.
    The family room’s large red Spanish tiles ended at the three stairs that descended to the main living room. The room had no TV, and it seemed to be an adult space. Outside the wall of sliding glass doors was a huge balcony that drew her across the room.
    She slid open one of the doors and then closed it behind her. Crossing to the railing, she looked down at the pool two floors below. It was surrounded by a white stone patio that led to a small grassy area. Farther out, trees framed the aqua and blue water at the beach.
    The view was breathtaking. It didn’t look like the postcard views of the Bahamas. They could never capture the true beauty that Bahamians saw on a regular basis. The green leaves of blowing trees, the jagged reef rocks, and the glistening water that shifted from dark to light with pools of white sand in between had to be one of the most exquisite sights imaginable.
    Saki wasn’t outside long before she heard the screen door open behind her. Turning around, she saw Frank. Frank was a small boy, shorter than she was. His tanned skin and light brown hair made him cute, though. He could never be an alpha with his small hands and round cheeks, but he wasn’t a passive follower, either.
    “Hey,” Frank said, planting himself next to her at the railing.
    “Hi.”
    “Sorry about that. Mark ain’t used to girls.”
    “I have little sisters. You don’t know how bad they can get.”
    “I have a little sister, too. But she acts like little miss princess.”
    “Well, you can have one of mine if you want to know what little sisters are really like. I have twins, and I don’t need two of them.”
    Frank smiled and stared out at the view.
    “What do Gully‘s parents do?” Saki asked, unable to hold in the question any longer.
    “His parents are separated, but he lives with his dad who owns the Toyota dealership.”
    “Seriously?”
    “Yeah, he’s pretty cool. Sometimes he pays for us to go out for dinner and stuff.”
    “Wow.”
    “Yeah.”
    “So does Dax come with you when you guys go?”
    “He used to. But he doesn’t come by much anymore. Ever since…” Frank looked at her, frozen in the middle of his thought.
    “Ever since what?” she asked, anxiously.
    “Ever since he met you.”
    “Me?”
    “Well, you know. Ever since he became a true alpha.”
    It was the first time any of them had made a reference to their wolf status. She was starting to wonder whether they were wolves at all.
    “Do you mean, since he could shift whenever he wanted to?”
    “Yeah. And since he got the island.”
    She wanted to hear more about the island. Whatever plans she had, they revolved around it. She had to know as much as possible. She figured she’d be able to get information from Lane, but Frank had to know things that Lane didn’t.
    “Does Dax live there?”
    “Sometimes, I guess. I know that he goes
