Chapter Ten

Zack woke, feeling the sunlight on his face. Then felt something wet lick at his cheek and fur that smelled faintly of pie crumbs and bubble gum shampoo. He blearily opened his eyes, unsure of his surroundings at first. The soreness in his ass reminded him of what happened the night before. Even now, he missed the feel of Santino’s muscled arms wrapped around his body, Santino’s lips—

Someone licked his cheek again, and he focused on the tiny invader in his room. The werewolf pup let out what sounded like a happy bark and wagged her tail at him. She had distinctive white fur the color of snow and playful blue eyes. The cat in him lazily studied the energetic bundle with mild amusement. He lifted a hand only for her to pounce on him again.

“Sylvia!” a man’s voice yelled from somewhere nearby.

Zack turned to squint at where the source of the noise came from, behind the door. He groaned, not entirely awake, and realized what was missing. Santino. His stomach twisted into knots. Maybe Santino took it the wrong way when Zack pushed him away last night. Sylvia barked, and he noticed she had something between her jaws. A note.

“Thanks,” he told her, gently taking the note and read it out loud. “Gone for morning patrol. Daryl will come over and be your guide.”

There was a knock on the door. That must be Daryl, since Sylvia was here. He stumbled out of bed and found a fresh pair of jeans from his bag. Zack opened the door.

“Sorry to wake you. I think Sylvia crept into your room.” Daryl wore an apologetic look on his face, then stared.

Zack wondered if he had something on his face, then Daryl gripped his arm, narrowing his eyes.

“Zack, who hurt you?” Daryl demanded.

He glanced down at his body and blushed. “These aren’t—” he faltered.

Color crept to Daryl’s cheeks and neck. “Ah. Santino did seem to be in a good mood this morning.”

Sylvia finally padded next to him and Daryl scooped her up.

“Is that a rare thing, to see him in a good mood, I mean?” he asked.

Daryl hesitated. “Santino’s been in a black mood lately, after Sabine fell into a coma.”

Guilt hit him like a sledgehammer, but remembering Daryl could read emotions, he reined himself. Dangerous, Zack thought. He had to be careful around Daryl Rush. Damn it. He hoped he’d be able to catch Santino and explain the situation. The last thing he wanted was for the werewolf enforcer to hear the truth from someone else.

“Are you all right? Your emotions suddenly spiked,” Daryl commented, the shot him an apologetic look afterward. “I’m sorry, I can’t turn off my ability. It’s kind of natural.”

“I’m fine. It’s just, I was hoping to talk to him this morning,” he murmured. That was part of the truth, at least. He tried to change the topic, hoping that would distract the Esper. “The Beta told me something yesterday—wait. Do you mind if I take a quick shower?”

“Of course.
