Chapter Fourteen

THE DOOR OF the hotel room burst open and Autumn quelled a shriek of surprise. Chogan’s form filled the gap. His eyes were hooded with anger, his forehead drawn down in a frown. The other man took three long strides across the room and caught his cousin by the material of his shirt, hoisting the bigger man to his feet and propelling him backward. The two men hit the hotel room wall, a picture knocking from a hook and falling to the floor with a crash, and the scream finally escaped Autumn’s throat.

“What the hell are you involved with?” Chogan demanded.

Blake pushed back, the initial advantage of surprise gone. Chogan stumbled briefly, but quickly regained himself, leaping to his feet and squaring on Blake like two men in a wrestling ring.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Bullshit! I saw those poor shifters, what they’d done to them. How could you be involved with someone who is doing that to your own kind? What the hell do those people want from them?”

“They’re just trying to find out what we are.”

Chogan snarled. “I don’t believe you. There’s more to it.”

Terrified they’d hurt each other, Autumn jumped to her feet. She positioned herself between the two men, hands held out, placed against their chests to separate them. The same heat which radiated from Blake also came from his cousin’s skin.

She turned to Blake. “If he’s like you, why don’t you tell him the whole story?”

“Damn it, Autumn!” Blake glared at her.

Chogan leapt on their exchange. “So I’m right. There is more to this.”

Blake paused and then grabbed Autumn’s hand and dragged her outside into the corridor. A small Hispanic woman wheeling a trolley of clean sheets and mini toiletries passed them by. She gave them a sideways glance, but nothing more.

Autumn snatched her hand from his and put her hands on her hips. “So are you going to explain to me what your beef is with your cousin? It seems to me like he only wants to help, and we’re not exactly overwhelmed by people wanting to help us right now.”

“You have no idea what he’s like.”

“No, I don’t. So why don’t you tell me?”

Blake turned from her slightly and ran a hand across his buzz cut hair. He shook his head as though fighting an inner battle, then opened his mouth to speak. “Chogan doesn’t consider himself—or any of the shifters—on an equal level with humans. He thinks our abilities make us a higher species. He thinks humans should know about us, should bow down and worship us. That’s part of the reason he’s so furious about the other shifters being held captive. In his head, it’s like the masters being held and tortured by the slaves.”

“Wow.”

He looked grim. “Yeah, wow. I don’t know how he’s going to react to the news that you might be able to change humans into shifters. It could go one of two ways—he sees you as the messiah and wants to try to change as
