Chapter 13

I slipped back into my room, using the excuse that I needed to visit the bathroom before heading down, and replaced my nicotine patch. I was going through them faster than I should, but these were extenuating circumstances. If I survived what was about to come and continued to burn through the nicotine at the same rate, then I’d start to worry.

The new patch brought the biting buzz back under control — or as under control as it ever got. I returned to the hall, and Marcus stepped close to me and stayed close as we got into the elevator and headed down to Zella’s room.

If I was smart, I’d tell him right away about Gideon’s brand. Letting him continue to hold me and kiss me like that could only lead to heartache for all of us. But if I was being honest with myself, I was thrilled at being held by him and the promise of satisfying the sizzling desire between us.

And maybe I was crazy. Fate said I belonged to Gideon. If I stayed in Marcus’s world, I’d be Gideon’s whether I wanted to be or not, and even if I wasn’t, constantly being with supers guaranteed that someone would notice the truth about me. Hell, it was a miracle no one had noticed so far.

It didn’t matter how comfortable and safe and turned on I was in Marcus’s embrace. As soon as the wraith, or rather nephilim— Nope, I couldn’t think of him as the same kind of super as me. We weren’t the same. Not even close. As soon as the wraith-angel was taken care of, I had to leave — barring, of course, being insane or dead, and if I was either, then being a nephilim in the world of supers was the least of my worries.

The elevator door slid open, and Marcus’s phone rang. We stepped into the hall as he answered it, and he stiffened at whatever was said.

“Change of plans. We’re meeting Gideon and Jacob in the garage. Union City PD has found another body.”

“Shit,” Kol said. “And we’re going to the scene? Can’t forensics confirm it was the wraith?”

“I thought they could, but apparently not,” Marcus said. “And I have no idea why, so we’re going.”

Kol frowned. “So who’s staying here with Essie?”

“No one.” Marcus shoved his phone back into his pocket, not sounding happy about that. “Gideon doesn’t want to separate the team until the wraith is dealt with and she’s safest with us, so she’s coming along.”

Given how we’d had our asses handed to us last night, I wasn’t certain I was safe with anyone, but I had to agree that I had a better chance of not being captured by the wraith-angel if I was with all of the guys instead of just one of them.

That, and I wasn’t going to argue with Marcus right now. I could still sense his wolf, barely contained within him — now that I knew what the fury radiating from him actually was — and didn’t want to push him.
