* * *

“Company?” I whisper to myself in the laundry room as I tug on my freshly washed jeans. I find my hair elastic in the pocket and pull my unruly hair into a high ponytail. Put on my bra, change into my shirt, and slip on my socks.

I’m shaking. Why am I shaking?

Who would be here?

The back door opens and closes as Jaxson steps out, and muffled voices chat about something. I creep to the kitchen and watch as he talks on the deck with a shirtless man, who is a good bit shorter than him but broader. The man looks worried. Authoritative. Alert. Like he’s on the hunt for something or someone.

I don’t know much about the hunters or their wolf pack, but if I was a betting woman, I’d say he was one…if not their leader. Anyone else would have knocked on the front door, not come from the woods, shirtless and sweaty.

I move further into the kitchen and look below. More wolves. The rest of the pack. In wolf form, which confirms my suspicions.

The few things I do know about them is they go after rogue wolves and witches (which mean they’re up to no good and out to hurt someone), and they sometimes help the authorities with crimes. My dad mentioned them a time or two, but I was young and it was boring ‘adult talk’, so I mostly tuned it out.

Why are they here?

Is that why Jaxson seemed worried?

I release the breath I didn’t know I was holding and stumble back as Jaxson and the wolf shifter come inside. I plant myself on the stool because I don’t know what else to do.

Our visitor takes one good look at me, cuts his eyes at Jaxson. Jaxson recoils from the intensity but recomposes. “You know who she is, man?”

“Her name’s Rhee. I met her last night.”

Who I am? “Well, I’m not a rogue witch,” I say. “If that’s what you mean.”

I can tell by his blank stare that it wasn’t, in fact, what he meant, and he gives a Jaxson another pointed look before he sniffs the air and heads to the bedroom. A look that says, we’ll discuss later.

It makes me feel like a child, and I grunt with annoyance.

They ignore me and continue on their way. What do they need back there?

I hold my breath as I eavesdrop.

Something about a…witch. Her scent trail led them here. Then to the bedroom. So, it is a rogue witch they’re after. She’s been here.

When?

I think of my dream.

No…it was a dream. I woke to an empty room.

They debate how long it’s been. They can’t tell. Maybe last night before we came back from the bar? No. Jaxson would have smelled her.

Wait…smelled her? Why would he have smelled her?

They decide it was sometime this morning, after he left for a run. He didn’t smell her when he came back because of the food I was cooking. They’re silent for a second. Probably realizing she was in here with me this morning.
