Chapter 11

As Wilhelm’s house faded from view, I mulled over our conversation. Was I really an agent of chaos? I’d only tried to be helpful since my arrival in town. Even though I grew impatient at times with Spellbound’s bureaucracy, I had no interest in dismantling it. Not completely, anyway. Just a little reform.

Look out, Sedgwick screeched from his position above the car.

I hit the brakes and narrowly avoided a collision with an enormous wolf.

How could you not see the giant mammal in front of you? he scolded me.

I got out of the car to make sure the wolf was uninjured. By the time I made it to the front, the wolf had shifted to human form.

“Alex,” I exclaimed.

The rising leader of the werewolf pack jumped to his feet, completely naked.

“What are you doing running around as a wolf in broad daylight?” It seemed that everyone was indulging in rule breaking now that the council was preoccupied with mud pies and dodgeball.

“Tracking your scent,” he said. “I need you to come with me.”

A hot, naked werewolf was demanding that I accompany him. Somehow, it wasn’t as sexy as it should have been.

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“It’s the council.”

Of course it was.

“They’ve taken over the bounce houses. Kicked out all the children. Markos isn’t sure how to handle it and he can’t reach the sheriff.”

“And you think I can do something?”

“Lucy mentioned that you have a knack for handling them. I thought we might manage to wrangle them if we work together.”

I glanced down at his exposed parts. “I’m not sure how the immature version of the council will respond to the sight of a naked man giving them orders.”

Alex grimaced. “I raced out of the house in wolf form as soon as the message from Markos arrived. I didn’t plan ahead.”

“Get in the car,” I said. I wasn’t excited about the idea of a bare werewolf butt on my upholstery, but I refused to complain. “We’ll swing by a shop on the way into town and grab you clothes.”

“Can’t you do a clothing spell or something?” he asked, sliding into the passenger seat.

I laughed. “You grossly overestimate my abilities, Alex.”

We sped into town, ignoring speed limits and other traffic signs and I realized I was as guilty of ignoring the rules as anyone else. If we weren’t careful, the entire infrastructure of the town could unravel.

I parked in the first available spot and hurried from the car.

“You run into Ready-to-Were and get Ricardo to help you. Meet me at the bounce house.”

He left the car and immediately shifted back into wolf form to preserve his modesty. He took off toward the town square and I ran toward the bounce house.

The scene was chaotic when I arrived. There were actual children huddled off to the side, wailing to their parents. An attractive man stood in front of the giant inflatable bounce house, trying to speak in a reasonable tone to the group inside. I saw Mayor Knightsbridge push Lord Gilder against the wall.
