Chapter Nine

THE WITCH-SHIFTER COALITION office was down on Heavenly next to the DMV. I spent the entire drive settling down my protesting lady parts and trying to get the feeling back in my lips. Damn, that Ford Baylor had really done a number on me. Again. If it weren’t for Lily, I might have packed up my squirrel and got the hell out of Paradise. I didn’t have time for romantic complications. Especially from a tall, grumpy, and furry werebear. Why did I let him kiss me? Even worse, I’d tried to kiss him first, and he cheeked me. It wasn’t the first time I’d been kissed, and it hadn’t even been the most passionate, even so, it had rocked the very foundation of my world.

My alarm on my phone beeped. Shoot. I was missing my appointment. I cracked the windows of the car to vent the afternoon heat and went inside.

The coalition was housed in a historical brick two story building with lead glass windows, and large, wooden double doors. Adele Adams, a tall leggy blonde with big, blue eyes that made her look doll-like, greeted me at the front desk. She wore a tightly fitted A-line dress with a deep vee in the front that showed off her buoyant breasts.

“You’re late, Agent Kinsey. I expected you to be here by noon.” She tapped her watch. “I agreed, as a favor to Carol, to meet with you. At the very least, you could be on time.”

The way she said “Carol” made me think she was trying a little too hard to prove she had a personal relationship with Baba Yaga. From what I could gather through the witch-vine, Adele was nearly two-hundred years old and took great pride in her youthful appearance, which meant her magic probably packed a punch.

“Hi, Mrs. Adams.” I tried to look appropriately contrite. “I’m sorry I’m late. Will any other members of the coalition be joining us?”

Her blue eyes darkened, and her expression grew suddenly intense. She lowered her gaze to mine and held my stare. “All of them.”

I shivered. “Uhm, great. I’m ready to start when you are.”

She frowned as if disappointed. “Follow me.” With a flick of her hand toward a door behind the desk, she turned on her four-inch heels and headed in that direction.

The backroom reminded me of the temple rooms of the Freemasons or the Illuminati. Hey, when you don’t date, Discovery Channel quickly becomes a stimulating evening. Six ornately carved high-back chairs lined a stage-like area. Four people, two women and two men sat in the four chairs on the right. The two on the left were empty. I recognized the man in the third chair, Dirk Nichols, the friendly neighborhood chief of police.

Behind the chairs was a red curtain. With dramatic flair, a man stepped out of the shadows to reveal himself. My stomach instantly felt leaden. “Dad?”

“Hazel, sweetheart.” The handsome warlock took the second chair. His tailored suit fit him impeccably, but I knew, his affability, much like his expensive clothes, was all window dressing.
