Piper’s feet seemed to catch on every small bump in the polished wood floor of the safehouse hallway. Jace led her to one of the many, identical rooms—once she was inside, she realized it must be his bedroom. The sheets on the bed were rumpled, as if he had just gotten out of it… or perhaps never made it. Clothes were strewn haphazardly around the room.

Jace closed the door behind them.

Piper turned to face him, the dull weight of the Colonel’s words and threats still pulling her down like a boulder around her neck. “You have five minutes, Jace River.” She was so tired. She needed to catch her breath and clear her head, before she would have any chance pulling off this idea of infiltrating the Senator’s office.

Jace closed the distance between them and took her hand. “I know your father pisses you off, but fuck that guy. Don’t let your anger at him drive you into doing something dangerous.”

“I do dangerous things all the time.” Even she could hear the dullness in her voice.

He gave a small smile. “I know. But you’re smart about it. When you’re out in the field, you don’t let anyone run your life. You don’t let some asshole with a bunch of military awards tell you what to do. Besides, the Colonel doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.”

She closed her eyes briefly, then opened them and looked straight up into the Jace’s dark, caring eyes. “He does know what he’s talking about, at least when it comes to me.”

“He doesn’t know anything about you.” Jace’s face darkened. “That couldn’t be more clear from the way he treats you.”

Piper turned away from him, folded her arms, and faced the door. Jace didn’t know about her past. Staring at the door, she said, “You’ve got three minutes, Jace River.”

Jace loomed at her back without touching her. “The Piper I know faces down military MPs and sneaks into a house full of shifters. What did you see during Olivia’s spell that scared you so badly? Did he… did your father do something to you when you were a kid?”

“He didn’t do anything to me.” She unlocked her arms and let them hang by her side. “He hated me before I was even born.” She turned to face him. The confusion on his face was mixed with a kind of sadness—a concern she’d never seen before, not directed at her, anyway. It worked a kind of magic inside her, prying loose the truth and forcing it up to her lips.

“He called me a bastard.” She huffed a small, mirthless laugh. “And it’s true. I’m not really his daughter. The Colonel fought and killed my biological father. He wanted my mother for his own, but she was already mated to another man. It wasn’t until after he shattered the mating bond by killing my biological father, that the Colonel discovered my mother was already pregnant. Even she didn’t know she had a pup growing inside her. Me.
