hair on his chest.
    “Maximus isn’t a mouse on our planet.”
    “We’re all different.”
    Tac froze when Merit spoke. Tac started laughing at the sound of his squeaky voice. Posy was frozen watching the massive wolf howl while the others snickered.
    “Stop that,” Merit squeaked.
    He clamped his lips shut and stood as quiet as possible. Tac changed back and, smiling, ran a hand over his face. Taking a fast glance at Merit he burst out laughing again. Merit growled and stormed out into the rain.
    “Why am I even here?” Andro asked. “None of these females is mine. Only Posy has a scent familiar, but now we know why.”
    “Obviously things were jumbled in transfer.” Tac tapped his foot on the dirt floor. “I don’t think any of these are Merit’s either.”
    “I thought I was meant to come here,” Andro said.
    “I was certain you were.”
    “Trouble,” was squeaked in a high pitched voice when Merit, dripping wet, entered back into the massive hut.
    Six giant gorillas stormed in after him. All five women were up, scrambling and screaming. The power shifters changed to battle. Maximus grabbed Posy and another by the hand, and with Pax’s help they herded the females to the back of the hut.
    Posy was certain her mouth could collect a thousand flies the way her jaw hung slack. Gorillas were beating their chests as an elephant roared and tossed one into the dire wolf. A small rhino appeared followed by an alligator and a duck.
    “I am dreaming,” Posy whispered. “I don’t think I like Jumanji anymore.”
    When a gorilla came too close Maximus shifted. On tiny feet he raced up the legs of the beast and bit his ass. Each time little teeth took a chunk the gorilla wiggled until he was dancing across the dirt floor.
    “Well, he’s got the moves like Jagger,” Posy said.
    The gorilla bashed into Tac, who tossed him out the hut door. Maximus was airborne. Posy raced forward to stop his rapid decent. Maximus shifted, and they both hit the floor. The elephant who had reared at the sight of the mouse came crashing down over the both of them, stopping short of crushing them.
    Tac shifted and dragged Maximus to his feet. “A for real fucking mouse?” he bellowed.
    “I told you,” Posy said.
    “Crap,” Tac said.
    Posy’s eyes widened. She glanced at her body making certain he didn’t mean real mouse crap.
    She glared at Maximus. “You are disgusting.”
    “You tried to save me.”
    “Run,” Tac yelled.
    Posy howled when an alligator came for her. As she fled Maximus grabbed the tail and the elephant stomped down smashing the jaws closed. Posy heard a snarled, “ ow you bastard”.
    “Good God, Doctor Doolittle would have nightmares.”
    I’m gonna have nightmares.
    A woman was screaming. A tiny petite young woman was dragged a short way across the room by a hyena.
    Posy leapt after them and smashed her purse repeatedly into the beast until it cackled and let its victim go. A solid bash to its temple and down it went. Animals began to slink out the door. Everything died down. Tac and Maximus raced over to Posy and the hyena. They stood over the fallen beast.
    “What shifter is this?” Maximus asked. “He doesn’t look familiar. Why hasn’t he shifted back?”
    “That’s a real hyena,” Tac said. He lifted its face with a booted foot then set it down.
    “I beat up a real hyena?” Posy asked. She felt sick.
    “This female is lucky.” Tac picked up the unconscious woman into his arms. “Nothing is broken. A small wound where he grabbed her, but her jacket took the brunt of the bite.” He assessed Posy. “Whoever’s mate you are better be able to handle you.”
    “A real hyena?” she squeaked.
    “Shit,” Andro bellowed. “A group of jeeps barreling this way.”
    Tac strode away. “Move out. We’ve been compromised.”
    “A real hyena?” Posy whispered. 
    “A real hyena,” Maximus said and squeezed her shoulder, grinning, as he took her arm.
