“We’ve got to get out of here,” I told Sasha, grabbing her arm. “We need to get to Ambrose and Christian.”

She looked at me skeptically. “Hear all those furballs between us and Nightstone proper? I don’t think we’re going anywhere until they’ve finished pissing on hydrants or whatever they’re doing. The boss wants you safe.”

“They’re going to find us,” I said.

“I don’t think so,” she promised. “There’s no reason they’d come this way. The place only gets more… condemned...the further on you go.”

“What are you on about, Nas?” Bane demanded. “Why are you following me?”

He stared at me from too close; I could smell the intoxicating scent of his body and feel his heat radiating off his muscular form, but that wasn’t enough to distract me from what a dickhead he was. For once. I should’ve realized he was a dickhead on day one, and then I wouldn’t be in prison.

“Oh, get over yourself, Bane. I was trying to protect your ungrateful ass, but I think I know who killed Jonah, and right now, I would like to prevent him from killing anyone else. I’m ninety-percent-sure Ambrose and Christian are torturing an innocent man and possibly his lover, so I’d like to stop that too, if you’d be so kind as to get out of my way.”

I gave Bane a shove backward--although putting my hands on that hard, muscular, heated body was a mistake because just touching him activated a throb within me--and headed toward the sound of the wolves, determined to find a way to skirt them. Ambrose and Christian needed to know what I knew, before the situation grew any more dire. And I’d like to give Ambrose a heads-up about what was happening in his pack.

Bane raised his hands to his shoulders. “So sorry I dared to question you for skulking behind me. Stalker.”

“Would you two keep it down,” Sasha hissed at Bane.

He gave her a brief once-over and an unimpressed look that I personally would never give a fierce female vampire. “Who are you?”

“My name’s Sasha. And I’ve been following you around for the last few days not murdering you even though believe me, I can see why it’s very tempting for so many people, so you can watch the dismissive tone with me. I think a little gratitude might even be in order.”

He stared at her, processing that information, then nodded. “Nice to meet you, Sasha. Why are you bodyguarding me?”

“Christian’s orders.”

“And he acted like he didn’t love me anymore,” Bane muttered. Then he hissed across the expanse, “Nasima! Wait!”

He turned to Sasha. “You should get her back to Christian. I’m sure you can get around them without attracting attention--you’re so fast.”

She shook her head. “They’ll scent us. I can’t guarantee I can move faster, especially if they shift.”

Howls split the air, too close for comfort, and she winced.

“It’s all right, Sasha,” I began.

She tilted her head. “No, I’m not sure it’s going to be. I can hear some of them coming closer. We need to hide you, Nasima.
