"I do not have a huge ass," he protested. He smiled when he heard her giggle.

"You know what I mean. I'm pretty tall but sparing with guards always makes me feel tiny."

Etain frowned. "Who have you been sparing with? Does the queen know?"

"Who do you think suggested the lessons?"

Etain rubbed between his brows. "Be careful." He knew he would be calling Ari Lionhart later to threaten his ability to reproduce if anything happened to his baby sister.

"Always."

"Goodnight darling."

"Goodnight brother, may the gods bless your dreams." She blew him a kiss and hung up.

He set his phone down and brought the goblet to his lips.

If only the gods could bless his mate instead, maybe, then his nightmares would end.

CHAPTER ONE

"I am starting a religion."

Etain looked across the breakfast table and stared at the small human. He and Micah had been invited by the prince himself to take their meals on Level One going forward. It was easier to get everyone's briefings done while eating than to have multiple meetings later throughout the day.

Aiden's head snapped down to look at his mate. "No."

"My furries need guidance. And, I'm bored." She looked over to Gavriel. "You've been around a while. How do religions start?"

Aiden's expression became more panicked as he realized that his mate was serious. "Meryn, you cannot start a religion. It just isn't done."

She looked up at her mate. "Why not?"

"Because!" Aiden sputtered.

"I think I would be a great religion." She turned to Magnus. "Right?"

Magnus' lips twitched. "There are worse examples of both religions and religious leaders out there. I do believe you could do better than they."

Aiden shot the prince a dirty look before focusing his attention on his tiny mate. "You don't even update your Facebook regularly, how could you run a religion. What are you basing it on?" The Unit Commander sounded absolutely flustered.

Meryn tapped her chin. "Good point. Other regions have martyrs and shit and I don't feel like dying. They're also usually really smelly, and my stomach is finally settling down. I don't need to make myself sick with my own body odor."

Aiden relaxed a fraction. "See, there you go."

Gavriel chuckled. "These things usually evolve over time Meryn. I do not believe you can just announce it on social media."

"But I've worked out my first commandment already," she said brightening.

Eva's eyes were dancing as she leaned forward. "Do tell."

Aiden growled. "Don't encourage her."

The air around Meryn shimmered, and suddenly she was dressed in a black monk style robe and cowl. "Thou shalt not be a douchebag," she intoned in low monotone syllables.

Across from each other, Colton and Declan folded their hands in front of their chests. "Amen," they said in unison.

Adriel frowned at the grinning duo. "These two should stay in different cities. I fear for Noctem Falls."
