Chapter Eight

Demitrius grumbled under his breath the entire way to his little cabin near the back of the property. Going to the main house had been a spur-of-the-moment decision, but he was glad he made the trek. Though the sun was still up, the mansion had been buzzing with activity. Twenty-two new paranormals had been brought in, all malnourished, naked or nearly so, and frightened of their own shadows.

It had taken months for the Enforcers to locate the coven in the nearby mountains that they’d been searching for, since the vampires were continuously moving to throw them off the trail. In the end, Bannon Murphy had come through, though, and a lot of people had been saved. It was a day of victory, and Demitrius was happy to have been even a small part of it.

He wasn’t nearly as happy about the damn snow, though. Gods, he hated the crap. Seeing Xander standing on his front steps with his arms crossed over his broad chest didn’t really give him the warm tingles, either. The guy looked like he had something on his mind, and judging by his body language, Demitrius wasn’t going to like what he had to say.

“Why the fuck do you live all the way back here by yourself?” Well, that certainly wasn’t what he expected. “I like the privacy.” “Bullshit,” Xander replied at once. “I didn’t even know there were

cabins this far back here.”

It really wasn’t that far from the dorms where Oscar stayed.

Xander made it sound like Demitrius lived on another planet or

something. The reality was that his home was barely a quarter mile from the dorms, though it was on “vampire” lands rather than the new acreage purchased for the shifters. It just happened to back up to the

forests.

“What do you want, Brighton?” If the guy was there to give him

shit about Oscar, he could take his concerns and shove them right up

his sanctimonious ass.

Surprisingly, Xander sighed and relaxed his aggressive posture.

“Braxton called. I’m sure you can guess why.”

Yeah, he knew why. Gossip had spread like wildfire about his

mating to Oscar in the last couple of weeks. He was honestly

surprised that it had taken the alpha so long to come speak to him

about it. While most were happy for him and his mate, there were still

some who were frightened for Oscar’s well-being. Apparently,

Braxton was one of those people. It hurt a little, because he’d thought

he got along okay with the little twerp, but he supposed he should

have known better.

On the other hand, he did like knowing that Oscar had someone so

protective of him, someone other than Demitrius to look out for his

best interests. The connection between them was too strong for him to

see things objectively, but if he was causing Oscar more harm than

good, he hoped someone would be brave enough to point it out to

him.

Xander arched an eyebrow at him and smirked as if he knew

exactly what was running through Demitrius’s head. “Look, I’m not

here to bust your balls. However, when my mate says jump, I ask how

high, how far, and how many times.
