CHAPTER SEVEN

Rose

Saying that Rose was getting nervous was an understatement. She’d spent a lovely day chatting with Tiana and Dahlia, the wife of Austin who owned the only legitimate bar in town. But in the back of her head, she constantly felt watched. It was ridiculous to think that, especially with the bar only sparsely populated by Shifter Grove inhabitants due to the fire relief efforts, but still, there it was.

When she excused herself at one point to go to the bathroom, the reason for her nervousness became all the more clearer. Cole was unmistakable with his jet black hair and beady gray eyes, the kind that always looked like they were watering. Conrad wasn’t much better, though he was built stronger and wider than Cole. They came as a pair, Rose knew, and she’d always figured that Cole was the brains and Conrad the brawn. Though neither one of them had ever struck her as too bright.

They were waiting for her in the small hallway that led to the bathrooms. In a moment of panic, she wondered if they would jump her, tie her up, and drag her out of there kicking and screaming for the world to see. She glanced behind her and made a move to run back, but Conrad caught her by the wrist and kept her still.

“Hey, relax, Rosey! We’re not here to hurt you,” Cole was quick to soothe her, though his words sounded anything but reassuring. “Kenner wanted to send you a message and we figured it would be best if we gave it to you in person, seeing as you seem to have lost his phone number,” Cole said with a smarmy grin.

Rose bared her teeth reflexively, a reaction of disgust more than anything else. She yanked her arm away from Conrad, who let her do it easily enough, as she glared daggers at him.

“What do you two lowlifes want? I can’t believe you followed me all the way to Idaho,” she said, flabbergasted.

“That makes three of us,” Conrad mumbled, bored, slouching against the wall with about as much enthusiasm as a kid at a history museum.

His eyes tracked her without any obvious emotion other than sheer and undiluted indifference. It was somehow soothing, really, knowing that the chase and stalking game was as annoying for them as it was for her.

“Kenner said that if you’re a good girl and pack your car tonight and get back to Philly, then he won’t have to come and get you personally. But if you don’t behave, then, well… we can do a lot worse than the truck, Rosey, you know that.”

Cole, however, was really enjoying the whole thing. His eyes gleamed with glee and she could clearly imagine the image of a raccoon pushing its grubby little fingers together in expectation of something going down. Her stomach twisted. Yes, she knew they could do worse. Conrad had once beaten up a guy just for looking at her, and Kenner had somehow gotten two of her friends evicted when she sought refuge with them.
