Chapter Fifteen

I made my way down to the Paranormal Regulators Research Department. I scanned my I.D. and waited for the door to open. I expected to see Kyle, a shaggy haired over-achieving teenager who, by the luck of the genetic gene pool, was not only a genius but also a werewolf. He’d been with us for a little over a year. His dad worked up in accounting and shared his full-moon issues.

Kyle didn’t greet me. Instead, a tall slender man with a head of short black hair was standing there waiting for me. His blue eyes screamed familiarity and I tried my best to place how I knew him.

He extended his large hand out. “Josh Wilson.”

I took it and stared up at him. So, this was Rick’s oldest son? Rick Wilson and I had been co-workers up until he had been murdered. Talia, the same woman who managed to break up Ken and I, had also managed to infiltrate Rick’s family, and win over his youngest two boys, Jonathon and Jacob. They killed their father as a sign of loyalty to their new master, Talia. She in turn gave them the curse, in my opinion, of being shapeshifters. They had tried, two months ago, to kill me in both their forms, human and hellhound—they paid for it with their lives.

“It’s okay, I don’t bite,” he said, winking at me.

I looked at him, horrified. His own brothers had literally mauled his father, and left nothing but a mutilated torso behind. How could he joke like that?

Josh’s hand came out to me. I backed up into the hallway to avoid his touch. I caught sight of the sides of his hair and saw the tiny flecks of white creeping up near his ears. His father had had the same salt and pepper hair, and the same blue eyes. I had to admit, Josh looked a hell of a lot more like his dad than his demonic siblings did.

“Are you alright…Ms.?”

I tried to focus on the here and now. Rick’s death had been so hard on me that I hadn’t been able to attend his funeral. I was still struggling with the fact that he was gone, I wasn’t sure I could stand looking at a younger version of him.

Josh took another step towards me, and it took everything in me not to bolt and run. “Miss, are you alright? Do you need me to call someone for you?” He reached out and took hold of my I.D. card and stopped moving. His crisp blue eyes scanned my body. I felt like the newest exhibit at the zoo.

“What?” I asked, unable to stand the fishbowl feeling any longer.

“I…umm…er…you caught me off guard. I wasn’t expecting to meet the woman who killed my brothers.”

Every instinct in my body was urging me to take flight. I checked the hallway to see what my options were. They were surprisingly bleak. The research library was tucked neatly away to keep curious employees at bay. If Josh was anything like his brothers, than I would be fighting for my life all by my lonesome.
