Chapter 9

Kat had no intention of going to a stinky club and having some sweaty Shifter paw all over her. Instead, she hopped in her yellow car and tailed Prince and Nadia. She knew just how to maneuver her car so they wouldn’t get away. After all, she’d probably staked out roughly three hundred outlaws, although this was her first time chasing a helicopter. The only person who’d ever gotten away from her had plowed through an intersection and struck a Labrador. Kat’s little heart had melted when she saw it happen, so she’d pulled her car over and held the pup in her arms for all of thirty seconds before he had a seizure and died. After that, Kat vowed if anyone hurt an animal in her presence again, he was going to get a dagger in the balls.

So there she was—standing outside a hotel, watching her sister circle overhead in a helicopter. Kat waltzed into the hotel as if she owned the place and took the elevator. When she got near the top, she changed over to the stairs and began climbing the rest of the way. Sweat trickled down her forehead, and she panted.

“You are so out of shape,” she chided, her voice reverberating off the walls. “Six tacos? Great way to impress a guy. Not just any guy, but a Packmaster. Nadia gets a rooftop romance with porterhouse steak, and all you have to show him is questionable meat at a roadside stand. No wonder you’re still single.” Kat tried to swallow, but her throat was too dry from the heavy breathing.

When she reached the top, she opened the door to the roof, then stepped into a small room and approached the outside door, but it was locked. Some places did that to keep all the crazies from going up there and jumping to their death. But Kat knew how to pick a lock, so she knelt down and caught her breath while fiddling with the mechanism.

“Fly me to the moon,” she sang, continuing the lyrics until the door unlocked. She tucked her handy little tool back in its pouch and slowly eased the door open. “Please be true,” she whispered more than sang.

The door cracked open a few inches, and when Kat beheld the enchanting scene before her, she took a seat on the cold concrete. Despite the wind whipping the white tablecloth at the bottom, the candles remained lit inside their colored lanterns. Nadia looked like Aphrodite with her hair blowing in the breeze like ribbons of silk. Prince was doing most of the talking, which struck her as odd because he was always the quiet one around her.

“God, maybe I do have a big mouth,” she remarked.

Kat looked on with a rueful heart, wondering if she’d made the right decision in letting them go without an objection. It wasn’t as if Prince would take her seriously since clearly the better half was currently sitting opposite him, but it didn’t eliminate the sting in knowing she hadn’t even put up a fight.
