Gibson saw it was her number and, smiling, he answered. But instead of her normal voice, she was upset. Tense. She spoke quickly and quietly. “Two men on bikes with weapons. They’re following me. I’m shifting.” She dropped the phone and he heard the sound of her cat’s scream. His own rushed to the surface, his hands fisting against phantom claws.

He grabbed his keys, standing, though he’d been involved in a meeting. Several sets of eyes looked his way. “Mia is being attacked again. Dario, with me.”

Dario took the wheel as Gibson watched out the window. He kept his phone to his ear but the call was dropped. But not before he heard the attack, the sound of teeth meeting flesh, and he hoped like hell it was her cat who was ripping those others apart.

He knew where the trail was. He’d been the one to suggest it to her because it wasn’t so often used by others, and she hated to run where it was crowded.

But cop cars were there when they arrived. Dario put his hand out to stay him. “I know you’re worried, but you can’t do anything with the cops there.”

Ambulances had pulled up. “Fuck that. What if she’s hurt?”

“What can you do for her if she is? You’re not married to her. You can’t ride in the ambulance with her. They’re going to want to know who you are. How can you explain it?”

“I’m not going to sit here watching as she dies. What kind of cat do you think I am?” He pushed from the car but walked around the scene, using his nose to find the spot where she’d hit the bushes. Her phone was there, along with her clothes. He grabbed them and climbed down the small hillside to the street below. It was only about a mile to her apartment so he headed that way, calling Dario to tell him to meet him a few blocks away.

“I’m not saying you don’t care about her. I’m saying be smart.” Dario risked continuing the conversation when he got back into the car.

“She’s one of my cats. Do you think I’d walk away if it was you? Or her brother or any of my people? It’s my job. I am the Bringer. It is my role to keep her and others like her, safe.”

“I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that you’re falling in love with her.”

He glared but Dario had known him long enough to let that go.
