Chapter Seven

The hunt for Colton was taking longer than expected. Matt, Nick, and Rio had searched every square inch of town and had come up empty. Matt didn’t think Colton was dumb enough to go back to the nightclub, but then again, he was talking about a pissed-off wolf. Since they hadn’t located Colton yet, it was worth a shot, though he was certain they were going to meet a hell of a lot of resistance from the vamps.

Matt parked a few blocks from Black Dragon and was getting out of his Hummer when unease trickled through him. He closed his eyes as he tried to shake the feeling. The sensation was like sticking your tongue on a nine-volt battery. The tingling lasted for only a second, but long enough that Matt knew he hadn’t imagined it.

"Something wrong?" Rio’s hand lingered on the backdoor, holding it open as he stared at Matt.

He started to dismiss the feeling as unease, but the sensation slammed into him this time. The nine-volt turned into a jacked-up Taser, causing Matt to grit his teeth as he curled his hands into fists.

Shit, that hurt.

He rubbed at his chest as he glanced around. Nothing seemed out of place and he couldn’t sense any immediate danger. Whatever the feeling was, it wasn’t coming from anyone around him. It was more like something that was coming through him.

"What’s wrong?" Nick asked from the other side of the Hummer. "You look like…I don’t know…like you’ve seen a ghost or something."

"Just feeling a bit strange." Matt lingered by the vehicle, trying to get his bearings. He didn’t need to confront any vampires while feeling wonky. The feeling didn’t dissipate, though. It only grew stronger.

A name whispered through his mind.

Jason.

Something was wrong. He didn’t know what, but he felt it down to his bones. "Something’s wrong with my mate."

They climbed back into the Hummer and Matt took off for Grizzly’s. The tavern was crawling with shifters. If Bael had gotten to his mate, someone would’ve called him.

Things might have started out as casual sex between them, but his feelings for the human had gone to a whole other level in only a day.

He pressed a hand over his heart as the pain intensified. It was almost too difficult for him to breathe. Was he feeling Jason’s pain or his own? Both?

When Grizzly’s came into sight, Matt slammed the brakes and got out, not bothering to close the driver’s door. As soon as he walked into the tavern, he scanned the place. The furniture wasn’t smashed to hell and no one was injured. There hadn’t been a fight, yet Matt felt that something was wrong.

Devin gazed at him with an apologetic look while Dustin and Darius wore twin expressions of unease. Devin’s triplets stood by the bar, arms crossed over their massive chests, watching him approach their father. He was acquainted with each of Darius’s sons, and although the bears were considered neutral in Mercury, Matt was well aware how lethal they were.
