Jillian

I couldn’t relax. I couldn’t even keep my focus on the murders. My body hummed with energy, my wolf pacing and snarling at me. The full moon wasn’t for another two weeks, so she was stuck in there for the time being.

It was a good thing too because I had a feeling the crazy beast would hunt Kane down. She wanted him something awful. But the mating of a lycan and a vampire was forbidden, much less the mating of Kane and Jillian. We’d have been thrown out on our ears, excommunicated from both of our families and friends.

“Will you chill out, Jill?” Quin put his fork down and glared at me. “Why don’t you go lay down? Crime scenes always drain you, but tonight you’re as keyed up as you get on a full moon night.”

“Shut up, Quin,” I muttered as I picked at my late dinner.

“Well, no wonder you’re upset,” he continued. “That damn vampire sticking his nose in. You can’t trust a vampire, much less Kane Webb. He’s their King! He’s got manipulation and deceit bred into him.” He picked up his fork and stabbed it into his chicken. “He’s Lilith’s fucking son.”

Didn’t he think I knew that? But it wasn’t that simple. He was my mate. I ached to be near him, to simply be around him. I’d known for a matter of hours and it had turned my world on its head. He’d said he’d known for years. How had he survived this feeling for years?

“We just need to solve these murders and get him out of our hair. He should be in the dictionary under ‘bad boy.’” Quin kept going on and on about how much he hated Kane.

“Quin!” I shouted. “Don’t you think I know all this? Do you think I’m stupid?” I knew vampires weren’t to be trusted. But all the legends said that our mates are the ones we can trust most, that they couldn’t be mated if they couldn’t be trusted. “Shut the hell up. We’ve both been attacked, and by a force too powerful and too tactical. The fact that the vampires found that pin is a very lucky lead.”

Quin opened his mouth to argue, face angry. Voss sat back, wisely keeping his mouth shut.

“No.” I shook my head. “I’ve heard enough of your vitriol. We need to work with Kane for now. So stuff it.”

I shoved my chair back and headed for the stairs, tuning in to my hearing. The last thing I wanted to do was run into my dad.

Voss and Quin could clean up the damn kitchen before heading to their basement apartment. As my sentries, they had to be close to me at all times, a suffocating rule. Dad didn’t have bodyguards day and night. If I thought for one second it was because I was a woman, I’d burn them all to the ground. But, even my strong, capable father had been surrounded by guards before coming into his High Alpha strength. It was a rule, or tradition.
