Chapter 18

Toby

I crouched low at the edge of the woods. The building looked the same as I remembered it, though now I could read the sign. The Jag—how clever. At least I knew I had the right place.

The parking lot was pretty empty. Just a few expensive cars sprinkled throughout.

Jet sniffed the air. “Those jaguars have a strong odor.”

Brick turned to me. “Sir, if we can smell them, they’ll be able to smell you. We’d better have Gessilyn whip up something to disguise your scent.”

I shook my head. “There’s no time.” I sniffed the air. It didn’t appear Victoria was anywhere in the area, though I caught a faint trace, indicating that she’d been there recently—probably within the last day. “I need to go now.”

Someone drove up and parked near the front. He got out and went to a door I hadn’t noticed. A bouncer let him in, disappearing inside, also.

It was now or never. I rose and dusted some dirt off my pants. Then I headed for the building like I owned the place. I had more than enough money to start something like it if I wanted to, but I didn’t. I was happiest teaching and taking care of my pack. No, that wasn’t true. I was content. I wouldn’t be happy until Victoria was back at my side.

As I walked across the parking lot, I could feel Brick’s and Jet’s gazes on my back. The others weren’t far behind. If I ran into trouble, at least I wasn’t alone.

My skin prickled with excitement. I was on the hunt and in my element. My ears were hyper-aware of every sound. All the smells intensified. My muscles prepared themselves for action, whether it be running or fighting.

I approached the door, and it opened before I reached it.

A tall, dark, muscular man stepped outside. He frowned and crossed his arms and turned his nose down. “We don’t allow your kind here.”

“I need to speak with someone.”

“Then call and make an appointment.”

I stopped about a foot from him and shook my head. “No, I need to talk now.”

He glowered at me. “To whom, exactly?”

“Whoever’s in charge.” I narrowed my eyes.

“Not if you don’t give me a name.”

We stared each other down. I tried glancing inside, behind him.

He closed the door behind his back, leaving it open only a crack. “No name, no entrance.”

“Can I leave a message for the person in charge?”

“Sure, tell me who and I’ll gladly pass it along.”

“It’s regarding Victoria.”

His eyes widened, but then he quickly recovered, returning to his stoic expression. “So, you want to leave a message for Victoria? She’s hardly in charge.”

“No, I can speak to her myself. I’m sure you’ll tell your boss about this conversation whether or not I tell you his name. You can tell him that I’m not going to back down until her memories are restored. She deserves to know her past.”

He seemed to be fighting to keep his expression resolute. “You need to leave.”

“Assure me you’ll pass it along.”

“I promise you nothing.
