Chapter Four

“What’s gotten Kal in such a foul mood?” Kal heard Dev ask Van in a low voice. Given the three of them remained boxed inside a small farmer’s shed, while sniffing for more clues, it hadn’t been all that hard to hear his brothers’ gossiping voices.

“Did Sal turn him down?” Dev continued.

“Worse. Asked Kal to go on a date,” Van answered.

“A date?”

“Yeah. You know, dinner, bowling, maybe a movie. The works.”

“Why is that bad? Sounds romantic if you asked me.”

Van snorted. “What do you know? Ever taken anyone on a date?”

Kal gritted his teeth. “I can perfectly hear you two assholes.”

“We aren’t exactly pretending to be subtle,” Van threw back from behind a shelf stacked with pesticides. “Just telling Dev here what a piece of work your Sal is.”

“He isn’t mine yet, or anyone else’s for that matter,” Kal muttered, angered by the thought.

This dating thing took a whole lot of work. Tonight, he would come by Sal’s apartment to pick him up. Fucking hadn’t been Sal’s little to-do list on the first date. Kal glared at the farming tools hanging on the wall in front of him while he continued stretching out his senses for anything supernaturally strange. At this rate, his control was going to snap even before the day was over.

“Bingo. Found something over here,” Dev called.

Relieved to be thinking about something else for a change, Kal went over to Dev. He held a spade in hand and had dug a hole in the ground. Underneath soil and small rocks, a black garbage bag peeked back at them. The familiar rotting smell coming from the bag nearly made Kal gag.

“Never a good sign,” Van muttered. “Who wants to open our unexpected Christmas present?”

Kal sighed, hunkering down. Ignoring his hypersensitive nose, he jerked back the top. He grimaced, seeing tightly stretched flesh over the bones of a half-chewed maggoty skull. “Still looks a little fresh. Van, call Terrance. Tell him we found another one. He’ll call the local authorities in, but I think this one’s been drained of fat too.”

“How many bodies now? Three?” Dev asked while Van fished out his cell phone and made the call.

“Four,” Kal corrected, rising, dusting his hands. A queasy feeling settled in the pit of his stomach. “It’s only been a day since discovering the body in the grocer’s and this thing’s speeding up its killing.”

Dev voiced what he’d been thinking. “It knows we’re onto it, although I don’t understand why it doesn’t just run.”

“Well, easy answer to that one. Clearly, it thinks us werewolves aren’t a threat,” Kal muttered. “I don’t relish being in Terrence’s shoes. He’s got to tell the alpha his town’s being trashed by a supernatural killer.”

“Lucky us then,” Van agreed.

Kal squinted at his youngest brother. Among the three of them, Van remained the most sensitive and haunted by the dirty deeds they had to pull over the years for their old pack.

He’d do his part all right, but no matter how hard he tried, Van couldn’t quite successfully mimic Kal’s cold efficiency or Dev’s enjoyment of using his fists.
