Description edit
Colton Bishop doesn’t know a thing about ferrets other than they taste good with ketchup. He certainly never imagined he’d end up mated to dinner, but that’s exactly where he finds himself when Sly Jordan lands in his lap.
Ridiculously Simplified Synopsis edit
Summary edit
The Gathering is called. The spell is cast. There is no escaping the Midnight Matings.
Colton isn’t happy with the elders’ trickery, but he’s not opposed to choosing a mate. Sly may not be exactly what he had in mind, but if he can get past his instinct to eat the little ferret, they... read more (warning: may contain spoilers)

Quotes edit
-
“Not that Colton really knew anything about ferrets other than the fact that they tasted delicious with ketchup. As a rare hippogriff shifter, ferrets were a delicacy for him, and even now, his mouth watered at the sweet scents drifting from the animal.”
Colton Bishop -
“I’ve been challenging authority my entire life. I think I can handle one big, bad bird.” “I’m not a bird,” Colton grumbled. “I’m a hippogriff.”
Sly and Colton -
“Would you calm down? No one is out here besides us. You’re as twitchy as a…” “Ferret?”
Colton and Sly -
“Okay, so keep going. Seth and Grant are the two assholes from the conference, and they’re dingo shifters. I don’t think I’ve ever met a dingo shifter before. They sound tasty.”
Colton to Sly -
“That is either the sweetest or most arrogant thing I’ve ever heard.”
Sly to Colton -
“I’m being a dick, huh?” “Just a little, but it’s kind of cute.”
Colton and Sly -
“But I’m your mate. Surely you don’t want to eat your mate.” “Sorry to break it to you, but I do. It’s like having a T-bone waved in front of a starving man. All of my instincts kick in, especially when you run, and I just want to…well…” “Eat me.”
Sly and Colton -
“Colton stared at his mate in shock. Had he just been scolded? It sure as hell sounded like it, and worse, he felt like he deserved it.”
-
“Hey!” Colton grumbled indignantly. “Him has a name, and he’s sitting right here!” He pressed his lips together, and his brow wrinkled. “I mean, I’m sitting right here!” Sly patted him lovingly on the top of his dark head. “Yes, we know, honey. You have to admit that you need me, though. You were a miserable old hermit before I showed up.”
Colton and Sly -
“You two are enough to give a man a cavity,”
Zion Bishop -
“I’d fight Heaven, Hell, Earth, and Martians if that’s what I had to do to keep you safe.”
