Chapter Fourteen

Cerberus

Dumping the last bit of dog food into a bowl, I step back from the fence as the dogs inside gather around the bowl. Usually seeing all the creatures in the animal hospital happy and cared for cheers me up. But for some reason, I still don’t feel like myself. The scene this morning with Soren and Kage has me completely confused.

I just… I don’t understand human men.

And what’s worse, my body still aches from my battle just a short time ago. Had I slept well last night, I’d be feeling more like my old self. But I didn’t. And I don’t like feeling weak when Hades could send more enemies here at any moment.

“Yo!”

I spin around and see Kayla hurrying out the door of the animal hospital to join me in the back. She looks so happy that I try to smile, but I’m not sure I manage it.

She gives her familiar bright smile, and I see she’s changed the highlights in her hair to a pretty green. “How’s the morning?”

I set down the empty bag of dog food and wipe sweat off my brow. “All the kennels are cleaned. Everyone has been fed. All new water. And I’ve checked on all our patients.”

“You’re amazing!” she says, then her gaze goes to my wrapped wrist. “What happened?”

“Just a little dog bite from last night.” Then I add, “Found a scared stray, but couldn’t quite catch it.”

Her smile vanishes. “Come inside, I’ll get it cleaned and looked at.”

I shake my head. “It’s fine.”

But she ignores me, grabbing my good wrist and hauling me inside.

In her little office, she sets me down, opens her medical bag, and unwraps my wrist. Looking at it, she frowns. “That’s the weirdest dog bite I’ve ever seen.”

“See, it’s fine,” I say, trying to stand.

She shakes her head. “Sit, I’ll clean it out and rewrap it… even though it’s mostly healed.”

Slowly, I sit back down.

She hums softly as she begins to clean the small wound biting my wrist left early this morning.

I stare, feeling uncertain, but finally decide to go for it. “I don’t understand hu—men. I don’t understand men.”

Kayla raises a brow. “Does this have anything to do with that hunk you brought in yesterday?”

I look away from her. “Kind of.”

“Come on then, girl, out with it.”

It takes me a minute to find my words. “I don’t have a lot of experience with men. With sex, yes, but not men.”

“Okay,” she says, moving slower as she continues to clean my wound.

“I don’t understand them.”

“How so?” she asks.

“I met a man last night. He spent the night, although we didn’t fuck.” I take a deep breath. “This morning when he was leaving, we ran into Soren, the man from yesterday.”

She whistles softly under her breath. “I bet he wasn’t happy.”

I frown. “He wasn’t. But I don’t understand why.”

She laughs, then seems to realize I’m serious. “Girl, Soren was so into you it was ridiculous!”

“Into me?” What the hell does that mean?

She rolls her eyes. “He likes you!”

I stiffen.
