Chapter 11.

“Go home,” Finn Donnelly had told her.

Easier said than done.

After three years working undercover in the Fangs, Savannah didn’t have a home. The First Flight paid for a lovely suite in one of Sedona’s many resorts. It came with a balcony, Jacuzzi, gym, and swimming pool. Honestly, though, the only amenity she cared about was room service. Order a sandwich, a bottle of wine, and flop on the couch after getting changed into…

Nothing. All her clothes were at her old apartment. Which, no doubt, the Fangs had torn apart by this point.

Oh well. The room came with a bathrobe, and the wine was lovely. She’d survive. Tomorrow, she could start to rebuild her life.

After the second stage of the trial. After she gave Jordan Beaumont a chance to rebuild his life too.

Where was her ‘master’ now? Swirling her wine, she stared out at the moonlit desert. A deep melancholy swept over her. Was he in a prison, with two enemy Dragons watching him like a hawk, ready to kill him in a heartbeat if he made a single ‘suspicious’ move?

The thought kindled a fire within her, an anger that burned away that soul-killing grief. Why the hell were Shifters so blind? Didn’t they see his kindness? A gun goes off, and his first thought was of her. Not himself. Not escape. Protecting her. Didn’t that show his true nature; that, deep down, he was a good man?

True, he was a Worm. As Kin, she knew what that meant. But she had to believe in redemption. In second chances. Without that, everyone was doomed.

We all make mistakes. We must be given the opportunity to fix the messes we make.

On the table, her phone buzzed.

Todd. Again. This was the fourth time he’d called in the last hour. His meeting with the First Flight must have gone okay.

That should have pleased her. Her lover wasn’t a murderer.

Yay.

Damn. Savannah sipped her wine, shocked by her own coldness.

What the hell is wrong with me? I’m sitting here, wound to hell about the fate of some Worm and I couldn’t care less about my own boyfriend.

Maybe that was because that ‘Worm’ treated her a hell of a lot better than her ‘boyfriend’ ever did.

There. That was the truth. A fact she’d refused to see for three years.

I was so flattered that a Bear, a Shifter, would ‘fall’ for a mere Kin like me that I was blinded.

To Todd’s selfishness; his willingness to risk her life; the way he belittled her and ordered her about.

I don’t feel loved when I’m with him. I feel… well, like an ingrate. A silly Kin woman who doesn’t appreciate how lucky she is to have a lover like him.

She remembered Todd’s cutting words this afternoon, embarrassing her in front of the entire Shifter council.

And how Jordan Beaumont had leaped to her defense.

He did that a lot. Even deep in the heart of Ormaz Corp., he made her office a tiny fortress. The one safe place where she could retreat. He defended her, refused to allow others to put her down.
