Chapter Six

As luxury penthouse suites were concerned, the one Andrew found himself inhabiting left a lot to be desired. Not that it was the suite’s fault. Myerson wasn’t crawling with enough wealthy folks to merit the investment in hotels fancy enough to make it into Architectural Digest or whatever magazine served the folks who could afford fancy spreads.

Acknowledging that he was in a huff, Andrew took advantage of the one amenity of the suite he couldn’t resist. A small balcony, just big enough for a single lounge chair and side table, lay on the other side of slightly tinted sliding glass doors. The view of the San Francisco Peaks took Andrew’s breath away and helped him forget that he was here under less than ideal circumstances.

Since their arrival the day before, Caleb had hunkered down with his father and their guards. None of them had needed Andrew’s input, so he sat outside and worked on his puzzle book. The silent treatment was wearing on his nerves, though.

Andrew had a million questions, but every time he walked into the suite, they clammed up. Not a word was spoken until Andrew went back outside and shut the door. He had no idea why they had even bothered to bring him along.

The night before, when Andrew had yawned so hard his jaw cracked and drew their attention, Caleb had shuffled him into one of the two bedrooms of the suite. The one with the king-size bed. Andrew had raised a brow, half in invitation and half in annoyance at the assumption, but Caleb didn’t even notice. He’d been back out the door without a word.

Now he drank bitter coffee from the tiny instant maker in the room and sat in the early morning sunlight. Caleb lay just a few feet away on the other side of the glass door. On the couch. Where he’d spent the night.

It shouldn’t tick Andrew off, but it did. Lost and confused didn’t suit Andrew’s temperament. He had questions and wanted answers, but no one seemed to be inclined to give him any.

Andrew wasn’t sure how much of this had to do with shifter politics or whatever. It couldn’t be a coincidence that Caleb had been stabbed with a silver needle. Someone knew what they were, that silver would poison Caleb.

The thought of Caleb dying sent a tremble of fear through Andrew. What if he’d not found the needle? How much longer would Caleb have survived? From what Monty had said, Andrew didn’t know how he’d managed to make it as long as he had. Without getting more answers, Andrew had no way of knowing how deadly and fast-acting silver usually was on their kind.

Their kind. Andrew definitely wasn’t one of them. He’d not felt this isolated and alone in a long time. He’d sworn to never go back, yet here he was. In trouble because of his brother and sticking out like a sore thumb. He’d come full circle. Left out and alone.

Welcome to Bitter. Population: Andrew.

Determined to shake off his rotten mood, Andrew thought over what he did know.
