The plan made sense. Everyone said so. They were chasing shadows, preparing for phantoms. They needed someone in Pierce Point. And Alison was more than capable. It was only for a few days. It made sense that she should go.

His wolf hated it.

It went against every part of his instinct to have his mate leave him—actually leave—less than twenty-four hours after the mating. But it was decided that it was best to get her to Pierce Point as soon as possible, so she went home and packed her bags while Tessa booked her a hotel and Ian got her fake identification.

Then she kissed him goodbye, and said This is the right thing, Brody. Believe me. And then she was gone.

His Alison.

He couldn’t think, and he couldn’t bear to change and run, so he did what was familiar—he went to the Four Spot diner. He sat in his usual booth. He hadn’t been here much since he’d hired Alison, because they did a lot of business in his living room, and he thought it might be strange for her to come back here. But now he came, and ordered a Coke, and looked at the menu like he always did, pretending to read it.

Patty had hired a new waitress, a fortyish single mother named Trish. She wasn’t as good a waitress as Alison—she tended to forget things, and she always called Brody “handsome,” which grated on him—but he didn’t mind, because Trish’s presence meant that Alison wasn’t a waitress anymore. Alison would never be a waitress again.

It took only a few minutes for word to get out that he was here, shifter information traveling like vibrations on a spider’s web. His first visitor was Quinn Tucker, who was chief of police alongside Nadine. Quinn was already chief when Nadine came to town, but as a former sheriff Nadine was more qualified. Quinn was a bear shifter and Nadine was human. Since he couldn’t decide which of them should have the job, he’d given them both the job and told them to get along or else. One of his spur of the moment decisions, but it was working well so far.

“What can you tell me?” he said to Quinn as he cut into the pork chop he’d ordered. He didn’t really want the food. Patty’s food was good, but his wolf preferred to hunt and eat wild. He’d only come here because of Alison, he realized now. All those days sitting here, not wanting to go anywhere else. What an idiot he’d been. If she ever came back, he’d tell her.

“Everything is quiet,” Quinn said. “But I heard something you might need to know.”

“Yeah?” Brody took a bite of his pork chop.

“You remember Carson Dunne?”

The pack’s former medical man. The man who had doctored Charlie’s postmortem after taking a pile of Brody’s money. He ate his pork chop and kept his face impassive. “Yeah, I remember.”

“He left town right after Charlie died,” Quinn said. “We all figured he was gone for good, but it turns out he isn’t.
