Gregor was grateful for the trees in Tessa’s yard. He reached out with his senses, and when he determined there was no one around, he opened his wings, launching himself into a tree. He stayed perched on a limb until Tessa’s heartbeat calmed. The slow count meant she was probably asleep. He enjoyed her taste in music, even though he was sure she was using it as a means of escape. He often listened to hard rock when he wanted to let off some steam.
Tessa had failed to set the alarm on her doors before she passed out. He was going to stay where he was until she woke up and he knew she was safe. It was too early for her to be asleep for the night, but consuming copious amounts of liquor, if that’s what she’d done, would have her snoozing for a while.
Now that he knew about Dupart and the role Tessa was likely supposed to play in his little empire, Gregor needed to keep an eye on her. He hadn’t meant to hurt her feelings. He only wanted her to see what type of man she had been keeping company with. Most women would have cried, but not his woman. He was thankful to be a shifter than when that bottle had been hurled at his head. Even though it wouldn’t truly hurt, smelling like eighty proof would’ve sucked. He leaned against the tree trunk and settled in.
Gregor didn’t want to take a chance on being seen. He was high enough in the tree that humans wouldn’t detect him. Still, he would wait until the sun was down before he eased out of his hiding spot. Gregor planned on tailing Tessa until she was ready to come home. Home. This was home for her, or at least one of them. What if he had really screwed up with her, and she decided to stay? He would have to convince her otherwise. Or move to New Orleans.
Sitting still for hours gave Gregor time to formulate a plan, at least when it came to dealing with Jacques. He called Julian to get the phone number for Dominic Dubois, the leader of the Louisiana Clan. He was going to enlist his help in shutting down Dupart. It might take a while, but if the man was in jail, he couldn’t bother Tessa.
His cousin answered the phone quickly. “Julian.”
“Hey, Jules. Did I catch you at a bad time?” He was talking quietly, even though he knew humans wouldn’t detect the sound of his voice.
“No, I am waiting on the press conference to come on. There has been another redhead death. Are you whispering?”
“Sort of. I’m right outside Tessa’s house. I was hoping to convince her to come home, but now I might try to persuade her to stay here until these murders are solved.” Gregor was convinced these killings had everything to do with Tessa.
“Hang on, the news anchor is on the screen.” Julian was turning the sound up on the television.
