Chapter Thirteen

Dimitri ushered Gillian into the limo, thankful that Logan and Jake had kept their mouths shut about what had happened at the ball. Despite the missing buttons on his shirt and the tear in the backside of his pants, they’d walked back into the party as if they hadn’t just had hot animal sex during the fancy event. Not that a soul in attendance had expected a quiet night anyhow. With Mardi Gras in full swing, everyone tended to be a little more rambunctious. Making love in the courtyard had added a pleasurable amount of crazy to the evening, Dimitri thought. Even Léopold had simply laughed, aware that his friend had taken his mate right there against the wall. Dimitri supposed had he cared what people thought, he’d be apologetic, perhaps embarrassed. But as Gillian gave him a sexy smile on their way out, nothing but desire for her played in his mind. Even the reality of their problems wasn’t enough to deter him from enjoying her.

As he settled her against his chest, he considered his trip to the west coast had been one of the worst and best vacations he’d ever taken. Almost getting killed was a snag he hadn’t expected. But finding his mate was turning out to be one of his most exciting adventures to date. He knew soon enough, he’d have to settle back down, working for Logan in security in his investment firm and assisting with pack matters.

The only regret he supposed he had was losing one of his favorite bikes. He’d reconditioned the thirty-year-old Harley, and wished it hadn’t been trashed on some California beach. But like every other material possession he’d acquired over the years, he’d never gotten too attached. Things could be replaced. Although wolves rarely died, he’d watched as human friends had submitted to the aging process. On their deathbeds, they never wished for more trinkets.

Gillian’s caress to his arm brought him out of his reverie. He noticed that she’d gone quiet and grew concerned.

“You okay?” Dimitri asked her.

“Yeah, I’m just thinking about things.”

“Things, huh? Like what?”

“Like where we’re going? Wondering why you still need to talk to the witch?”

“We’re taking a trip outside the city…to my home. Jake’s goin’ to round up your things and bring them to us, so don’t worry about your pictures,” Dimitri answered, purposefully avoiding her second question.

“Okay, thanks. I’m not worried, though. I already reviewed some of them…shot Jax an email with a few I thought we might be able to use for the spread.”

“Whatever’s going to happen with Chaz is going to happen soon. I just prefer to be on the bayou for a few days. Get some fresh air. The full moon’s in two nights.”

“And the witch?” she pressed.

Responding with silence, Dimitri kissed the top of her head, hoping she’d relent.

“What aren’t you telling me? I don’t know what it is, but you’re starting to worry me. I’m not asking you to explain what’s going on between you and her, I’m asking about you.
