Chapter Ten

Grant

Grant was lying in bed with his head on the pillow, but there was no way he was going to sleep. Not tonight.

How could he when it was the last night that he might see Amélie?

As he promised, he retrieved the wand from Tempest and placed it on his porch. Tempest would be furious when she found out in the morning, but he would try with everything he had to get it back for the newest bounty hunter. Amélie and her family were just much more important than any object.

The beautiful girl was still sitting on the bar, staring up at the stars when he went inside, closed the door, and slipped into bed.

His stomach was in knots as he imagined what her life must have been like these last few years. Watching her family lose their freedom, watching her father lose his life. The things she was forced to do, the pure heart full of goodness she was forced to harden. It was all so sad, and it made Grant want to find General Hunt so he could introduce him to his lion.

The waiting was torture. He hoped that Amélie would make the right decision and come to him—let him help her and her family—but he wouldn’t blame her if she took the wand and left. Her mother and sister’s lives were at stake. It was a lot to gamble on a promise from a half bankrupt bounty hunter who ran a pack of misfits.

He twisted around in bed and sighed as he stared up at the ceiling, wondering what she was doing, what she was thinking now. Was she already gone?

It was a full moon tonight and the light was shining in through the window lighting up his cracked ceiling.

She was a true panther shifter and was able to move without making a sound. He learned that the first night with her when he woke up and she was already in his room. She had broken the lamp over his head, but tonight, if she left, she was going to break something more tender inside him.

He was remembering how good she felt in his arms on the day of the racetrack when he heard the creaking of the steps that led to his wooden porch. She was outside of his door, but what was she going to do?

Was she there for the wand or was she there for him?

He laid there with his chest tightening as he waited. And waited.

Finally, the front door slowly opened. He turned and stared at the wall, keeping his back to the door as she walked in and leaned against the doorframe.

He took a few slow breaths before speaking. “Is this a goodbye call?

His restless body filled with dread as he waited for her answer.

“Would you be disappointed in me if it was?”

“No. But I’d be heartbroken.”

“Then you better turn around.”

Grant took a deep breath and slowly turned around. Amélie looked like a goddess in the moonlight, standing there in her beautiful summer dress.
