Throwing a HISSy Fit by J. D. Light

You point out the scars on a man’s face one time, completely by accident, and he suddenly thinks you’re a jerk… and proceeds to snark you into wanting to murder him.
Rattle snake shifter and alpha of his pit, Cline is actually a pretty laid-back person. There has ever only been one man who makes him want hiss and spit, and that man is one of his son’s closest friends, Frazier. Unfortunately, they need the little warlock if they want save the chosen Esther has locked away on a warded island, and that means Cline extending his protection to the beautiful, irritating man.
