Chapter Nine

Carrick

Between several rounds of sex to try to make up for the drought we’d both gone through while we were apart and checking in with Camden and Selene multiple times, Audra and I didn’t get much sleep that night. The ringing of my cell just as the sun rose in the sky wasn’t a pleasant surprise, especially when I saw it was Damien calling. “Fuck.”

Audra sat up, rubbing at her sleepy eyes. “Is it the kids? Is something wrong with Nixon and Nyssa?”

I clicked on the button to answer the call and promptly hit the mute button. Damien could damn well wait while I alleviated Audra’s concerns. “No, sweetness. It’s just Damien being a pain in the ass like usual. Go back to sleep.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah.” I pressed a kiss against her forehead and nudged her shoulders to get her to lie back down. “I’ll wake you up if it’s anything important. I promise.”

She nodded, snuggling against the pillows as her eyes drifted shut again. That’s how exhausted she was.

I waited until I tugged on a pair of athletic shorts, walked out of the room, and shut the door behind me to unmute the call. “This had better be a fucking emergency, Damien. I’m not in the mood for any bullshit. Our grandchildren were just born yesterday. Neither of us has gotten much sleep, and Audra has jet lag from traveling.”

“I’m sure it’s just the birth of your grandchildren and Audra’s jet leg that left her so tired.”

“Don’t start, man. Don’t even fucking start.” The sarcasm was thick in Damien’s tone, and it had pissed me the fuck off. “I’m not going to play your usual game where you know shit you’re not supposed to know and you say cryptic shit. Not today. Like I said, the reason you called had better be an emergency.”

“Sorry, you’re right. Now’s not the time to give you hell, but not for the reason you think.” I had made it downstairs to the kitchen. Partly in shock from receiving such an easy apology from Damien, I dropped onto one of the stools at the counter and braced myself for whatever it was he needed to tell me. “I didn’t wait to call because this concerns Nixon and Nyssa.”

My bear came to attention, pushing to the surface. Fur rippled on my arms, and I struggled to maintain control as I asked, “Is there some kind of threat to my grandchildren?”

“Not an immediate one, no. Our council has received a petition in regard to their standing in the shifter community, and I’ve learned that a similar complaint has been filed with the witch council. In and of themselves, the requests are concerning. But timed the way they were? Less than twelve hours after their birth, and sent to the leadership of both communities? I think it’s something we need to take very seriously.”

The only way it could have been done that quickly after Nixon and Nyssa’s birth was if there were spies in Bear Creek.
