She’ll come around; she just needs time, I told myself and hoped to Luna it would be true.

As I walked through the door to Cindy’s place, Secret came running down the stairs, calling my name. I scooped her up, kissed her between her fuzzy ears, and squeezed her until she squirmed. “So glad I have you, kiddo.” I told her on release.

She gave a happy mew, hugged my thigh, and rubbed her cheeks on my waist. How could a girl who ate human hearts be so sweet? “You’re lovey this morning.” I scratched her ears.

“You’re sad.” She purred a bit before looking up with a pout. “And I’m hungry.”

“How ‘bout some tuna fish?” I asked, taking a step towards the kitchen.

She held onto my leg and her ears wilted a bit. “Abby, it's the other type of hungry.” She whispered in a hushed voice.

Hunt? Wolf me stirred from her depression as I froze. I shouldn’t be surprised; she’d used her glamor to hide me while we had hunted Andrew, and again at his funeral. Magic had costs, and I’d been allowing Secret to use hers on my behalf. “It’s only been a few days. How hungry?” I heard myself ask.

“It doesn’t have to be right now.” Her shoulders hunched. “But if there’s a meanie you don’t like…”

Get pup meat, wolf me growled, unbothered by the prospect of hunting a human being that wasn’t a direct threat to us. The cops hadn’t even hassled me after I’d given Andrew that heart attack. Although maybe that had more to do with Rey’s protection on the house and the fact that I hadn’t used my name at Andrew’s funeral than anything else. And, well, Secret had been protecting me, using that energy.

I knelt down, put my forehead against hers, and whispered. “Thank you for telling me. I will find you a heart, but we have to make the next one last a little longer, alright?”

She nodded timidly, “’Kay. Just hungry, not starving.”

“I’ll find something for you tonight.” I hugged her, mind whirling with how the hell I was going to feed her. Would the heart of Scully’s host have worked? Had I wasted a perfectly good heart? Or had the heart been as foul to her as his blood had been? Then I remembered I had just left the body in the graveyard and the pistol was still in my car! Criminal mastermind, I am not.

I let Secret go and called out for Cindy. Nobody answered.

“She went to work. Rey went out.” Secret said.

“Cindy left you here?!” My voice climbed high. No wonder she hadn’t texted me back earlier this morning.

“I can be alone.” Secret sniffed and wandered off into the kitchen.

My throat grumbled at that as I checked my phone. There were quite a few messages. A new unknown number suggested we have a chat and claimed to be Mayor Leary. Cliff said that the NLR was critically short-handed and begged me to take another shift. Cindy, meanwhile, was up at the funeral party for a shift, citing needing money for redoing the kitchen counters.
