Chapter 6

Korrin’s first instinct was to charge forward. Normally, even people with guns drawn wouldn’t make him hesitate. He started to reach for his shirt, ready to pull it over his head, and then he heard Kris beside him.

Kris. She could be injured. All for what? My pride?

Korrin instead put his hands up. It was one thing to run from a couple of bouncers in a club. It was another to run from police officers with their weapons drawn, especially with Kris next to him. He didn’t care about himself, but he would never forgive himself if he caused something to happen to Kris.

Korrin opened his mouth to say something, but Kris cut in before he could. “Officers? What seems to be the problem?” Korrin gave the two men his best look, thankful that Kris had stepped in. The words that had been forming were a lot less pleasant than those would have been. “Are the guns necessary?”

For the first time, the officer’s hard looks fell. One holstered his weapon. The other dropped it, pointed it at the ground, but didn’t put it away. Korrin felt himself breathe out. He hadn’t even been aware that he’d been holding a breath in.

“Is this them?” the first officer asked, coming close to Korrin. Korrin’s hands were still up; he had frozen completely still.

“Yeah, I think so.”

“Are we who?” Kris asked.

“Don’t play stupid with me,” one of the police officers said. Korrin felt his heart start to pound in his chest. He had been hoping they would somehow weasel out of the situation, with the help of Kris, but it didn’t look like that would even be possible. “You’re the two who started the fight at Club Borealis.”

“Club what?” Kris asked. “Do we look like the kind of people that would go to a club?”

The first officer shrugged, said, “Not really, but we’ve had reports that you terrorized the patrons of Club Borealis tonight.”

“That’s bullshit!” Korrin roared. “We didn’t start that fight!” The officer closest to him immediately jumped backward, hand on the butt of his pistol. The other raised his weapon and pointed it at Korrin’s chest. Korrin felt himself growing hot; rage was threatening to overpower him. He took a few deep breaths, trying to force his anger away.

Don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it. He kept repeating those three words in his head until the rage started to abate. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it.

Still, he wanted to. What would Kris think? And he knew exactly what would happen if he let himself go. If he let the anger take over. If he let himself shift.

She would be terrified. She would never look at him again. She’ll never see me again, anyway, so why does it matter?

His father would be furious with him, but he didn’t care about that.

The only person he cared about right now was Kris—no matter if he would never see her again or not. She didn’t deserve to see what he was planning to do.
