Chapter 8

Kyler had never been so scared. Cooper had been standing in the middle of his office when suddenly there had been a wolf in his place. How he managed the trick was a total mystery, but why he’d done such a hurtful thing was a much bigger concern. Cooper didn’t seem the type to play a petty prank. Again, Kyler looked around the room they were in, convinced that the wolf was hidden somewhere nearby. He had overcome many fears in his life, but he’d never stopped being terrified of wolves.

“Where is he?” Kyler decided there was no harm in simply asking.

“Who?”

“The wolf.”

“I am the wolf.”

Cooper had said that before and Kyler missed it. He didn’t this time. “What the hell does that mean?” The best he could figure, Cooper was being existential. He was the wolf in the way that someone was the walrus by quoting the Beatles.

“It means I’m a shifter. I can become a wolf.”

Kyler rolled his eyes. It was insane. Clearly, all of this was some kind of ploy. But for what? Just what in the world could Cooper hope to gain—oh. The solution hit him so hard he felt like a dunce for not seeing it before. “Is this to get me to hire your firm?”

“What?”

“You scare the hell out of me to get me to think I need to hire you?” Kyler was so disgusted by the very idea he closed his eyes and hung his head. He couldn’t believe he’d been unable to stop thinking of this man who only saw dollar signs when he looked at him.

“Kyler. Look at me.”

Kyler did even though he really didn’t want to. Something about Cooper’s voice compelled him to look up and into his hypnotic green eyes.

“Think about this for a moment. How would I have done that? Wait. Better yet, consider that I would have had to have known you were coming today and placed a wolf in my office. Does that make any sense?”

“It makes a hell of a lot more sense than what you’re trying to get me to believe.” Kyler continued to look around. The copy room was small, but he didn’t trust that there wasn’t a wolf waiting since Cooper had led him here. “Look, whatever you’re after doesn’t matter. I have to go.”

“Not with Renaldo the pissed-off bomber out there.”

“I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. I’m not going to stop living my life because of a threat. This Renaldo isn’t the first man to get angry with me. The only difference here is I didn’t do what he thinks I did.”

“He’s not going to care about that particular detail.”

“Well, I’ll take extra precautions.” Kyler thrust out his hand. “Can I please have my phone back?”

“No. Not until we work something out.”

“The only thing I’m going to work out is myself. I’m going to work myself out of here and then get myself home. If my security people think I need to hire extra help, then that’s
