Chapter Thirteen

Kase

That was too easy.

He eyed the door out of the bedroom. Michelle wouldn’t be coming back through it. He’d heard the front door open and close, knew that she was gone.

No, not gone. Her car hadn’t started up yet, which meant she was still on the property. Kase had purposefully installed a gravel driveway for that exact reason. He liked to know if his enemies were approaching. Or friends, on the occasion he’d not felt like being bothered. It was easy for him to duck out the back and avoid any socialization he didn’t want.

Now it served as notice of when she decided to leave. What was she doing out there? More importantly, why had she been so agreeable to his suggestion that maybe it would be better if she left? What sort of agenda was she working on? It must have to do with his funding the lab.

“What else could it be?” he mused aloud, slipping from the bed and putting on some jeans.

Tightening the belt, he left the room, heading down the large curved staircase lost in thought, fingers tapping against the black powder-coated steel railing. Things didn’t quite add up.

First, there was the accusation from Michelle. While he had been in the lab that night, and Kase had been the one to erase the hard drives and cloud backups, that had been the extent of his intervention. The building was his, and everything inside of it was his. Breaking in wasn’t necessary. All he’d needed to do was use his key. He’d left the lab intact, which meant someone had come in after him and torn up the place.

Both the who and the why behind this mysterious player were still beyond Kase. His only idea so far was Jerrik. Could the Magistrate be the actual one behind that? In some sort of messed-up way, was he trying to play cupid to the two of them? Maybe he thought that with the lab destroyed, Kase would finally swoop in to save his mate.

“That’s stupid.” He discarded that theory. Jerrik had other things to occupy his time.

Then there was the thief who’d broken into his house. Another mystery. Or was it? What if they were related? What if they were the same person? Michelle had told him a little bit more about the break in. Of the desk through the wall, among other things. Whoever had done that possessed incredible strength.

Dragon strength.

Someone was following him. Watching him. Possibly even manipulating him. The problem was, Kase couldn’t figure out why. It was starting to bug him, but until he could figure out who the person was, there really wasn’t much he could do about it. That frustrated him. The strength of a dozen men or more, the ability to call liquid quicksilver from thin air, and in his dragon form the power to fly.

All of those gifts helped him exactly nil in his quest to understand what was going on.

Unless she’s right.

Kase snarled and turned away from the front door, moving deeper into his house as he cleared the bottom of the stairs.
