I only got to kill two shifters because Lexar insisted we’d need the other two to actually give us the information we needed. Too bad—I was just getting warmed up. Literally. I had to use my fire because the assholes shifted. In broad daylight. What the hell were they even thinking, right?

They were were-dogs. They looked pretty much like oversized dogs with really big teeth and a nasty growl. But they weren’t all that powerful, not like wolves or lions or tigers. Still, Lexar managed to knock the last two out, and then we had to wait for like half an hour for them to shift back and come to.

All the while, Abraham sat by the door and watched us, a smile on his face, his expression perfectly calm. Maybe he was a monk or something. His calm was unnerving.

“Just give us a name. You don’t want to end up like your friends, do you?” Lexar asked the butt-naked shifters. We hadn’t bothered to tie them up this time. They weren’t going anywhere, and they knew it, so they weren’t even trying to get up.

Or cover up. I could see all their assets perfectly.

“You think you’re untouchable, don’t you,” one of them said. “You killed two dogs. Now the pack is going to get involved.”

“Let us worry about the pack and just answer the question,” I said. The were-dog pack that lived in Philly wasn’t big. I knew a few of them, and the alpha was an old woman who didn’t leave their territory often. They might want to cause us trouble about this, yes, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle—after we were done with the nocturnal bitch. I wouldn’t have killed those were-dogs if they hadn’t shifted and attacked me, so it was self-defense. Add the fact that they weren’t supposed to shift in daytime, in a human neighborhood, and I was sure I would be able to reach an agreement with the alpha in no time.

“Or maybe we should take you to your pack right now,” Lexar said. “You can’t disobey a direct order from your alpha, can you?”

I grinned. “And I’m sure she’d want to know why you’re shifting in daylight and trying so hard to keep that name away from us.”

For a second there, I thought both the were-dogs were going to laugh at us. If we sent them back to their territory, their lives would no longer be in our hands. There’d be a lot more shifters to fight to get to them, but to my utter surprise, the shifters looked terrified at the mention of their alpha.

“You know we can demand pack cooperation, right?” Lexar said.

That was only partially true. Our daddies could, and since we were here on their behalf for the nocturnal bitch, so could we. All paranormals were, in a way, descendants of the Fallen—a product of their magic. Except this guy Abraham, apparently. And everybody here answered to the Fallen one way or the other.

“Our pack isn’t going to
