Chapter Six

Raven wasn’t sure what had woken him in the middle of the night. Jet was tucked against him, sound asleep. Easing from under his mate, Raven got up and slid his jeans on then pulled a T-shirt over his head. Normally he would’ve walked naked to the kitchen for something to drink, but Poppy was in the house, and while Raven didn’t think twice about his nudity, Jet wouldn’t be pleased about his meat being on display.

He walked quietly out of the bedroom, careful not to wake his mate. The house was pitch-black, but Raven saw just fine. Being a shifter allowed him that luxury. He couldn’t see as well as in the daytime but enough that he didn’t bump into any furniture.

He passed the couch and saw Poppy fast asleep. Poppy was a nice guy, but an ugly sleeper. His hair was spread out around his head like neon-green flames, and his mouth hung wide open as he lightly snored.

With a shake of his head, Raven headed into the kitchen. He grabbed a container from the fridge and poured himself a glass of ice-cold water.

Then he heard a noise. A metal clank. Raven used his foot to close the fridge while setting his glass and the plastic container on the table. He moved to the living room then stopped in the middle of the room and listened.

A low curse.

His hearing was exceptional. He knew the sound had come from outside the house. He’d never had any visitors other than people who came to his shop. Raven had never invited anyone over to where he lived.

He grabbed his boots by the front door and slid them on, taking his time to tie them. When he straightened, he went to his bedroom and eased his closet door open. On the shelf, in a metal box, was his .38. He used the key in his top dresser drawer to open the box and removed the revolver.

Raven slipped out the back door. He didn’t want to chance waking Poppy. The gentle September breeze rustled the leaves in the trees and fanned across the grass as Raven made his way around his house with quiet, sure steps.

He saw a flashlight beam in one of the windows of his shop. Had he forgotten to set the alarm when he’d shut down earlier? He couldn’t remember. Jet had come to the shop and enticed Raven away from his work with promises of sucking him off.

Raven had gone without coaxing, but he couldn’t recall setting the alarm. Shit.

He was hesitant to call the cops. Raven wasn’t sure if Sheriff Copache, Deputy Burrows, or Deputy Christopher were on duty. Copache was mated to Moose and knew about the preternatural word. Deputy Christopher was a coyote shifter, and Deputy Burrows was a lion shifter.

If the person breaking into his place of business wasn’t human, and those men weren’t on duty, then a human deputy would take the call, and Raven refused to put a human’s life in danger.
