Chapter Ten

Nick knocked on Cadric’s door the following morning, the lack of sleep he’d suffered from the night before finally catching up with him as exhaustion dragged down his limbs. Hadria had come into work with him this morning, and she’d been unusually quiet. He hated letting her out of his sight, but there wasn’t much he could do about it unless they both quit their jobs and stayed in his house for the rest of their lives.

He heard Cadric’s voice growl from the other side of the door. From the sound of it his boss wasn’t in any better a mood than he was. He walked into Cadric’s office.

“Close the door.” Cadric didn’t look up from his computer as he pounded on the keyboard as if the keys needed to be slammed into the desk in order for them to work. With a sound of disgust, he finally shoved the keyboard away and turned toward Nick.

“I hope you have better news for me this morning than anything I’ve received thus far today.”

“I got a call last night. I think it’s the people responsible for Dark Wolf, and they want me to consider joining them. I brought my phone in but I don’t think we’ll get anything from it. They were smart and blocked their name and number.”

Cedric was silent for a moment, before his face relaxed. “So they’ve contacted you. That’s good. I think we’ve finally made a break in this case and we’ll need to use it to our advantage.”

“Do you want me to take the phone to the tech guys and see if they can trace the number?”

“I wouldn’t bother with the phone. Obviously we have a Judas in our midst, and I don’t want them to know that you’ve told me you’ve been contacted. I don’t want you to share this with anyone, not even Hadria.”

“Why wouldn’t I tell her?” Nick didn’t like not being able to talk to Hadria about this. He didn’t want to keep secrets from her.

“Nick, it’s become obvious to everyone here that you and Hadria have become very close. I’d hoped that once it got around that you two were an item that this would happen.”

“To what purpose? Surely you aren’t suggesting that I meet with these people?” Nick took one look at Cadric’s face and realized that was exactly what his boss was thinking. “You want me to meet with these people and you want me to hide it from Hadria?”

The bottom fell out of Nick’s stomach when his boss nodded. He sat in stunned silence for a moment, not knowing what to say. He loved working for the Order, and he wanted the people who fucked up his brother’s life to pay, but he didn’t want to do it at the expense of his relationship with Hadria.

“I know what you’re thinking,” Cadric said as he steepled his hands under his chin. “And I know it’s asking a lot. I think you are the one who needs to do this.
