Even though Preston had kept his distance from Miles and Jasper, he’d heard their conversation. Miles had offered to take them to the warehouse where he and the assassins lived before, but Preston had thought it was because he was Miles’s mate. In part, that was probably the case, but he couldn’t ignore the way Miles had spoken to Jasper.

Preston didn’t know a lot about Miles, and even though Miles had told him he’d been in a lab, too, he hadn’t entirely realized what that meant until now. He’d seen what Miles could do, and it had shocked him, but it had been easy to ignore in the heat of the moment. Now, Preston had to face it.

Miles wasn’t human. Miles wasn’t even a normal shifter. Like Jasper, he’d been experimented on, and he’d been changed. No matter how much Preston wanted to snatch up Jasper and go back home to their life, he wasn’t an idiot. Jasper would never be able to go back, and that meant Preston wouldn’t, either. He wasn’t leaving Jasper behind, not after almost losing him. Besides, from what he knew, the warehouse where the council assassins lived was probably the best place for Jasper to be right now. They personally knew what he’d gone through, and they’d be able to help. Unfortunately, Preston could do neither of those things, and while he wanted to be there for his best friend, in this case, it meant allowing other people to be there for Jasper.

It looked like he and Jasper were going to move in with a bunch of professional assassins.

He still wasn’t completely sure what to think of Miles and the others. Logically, he understood wanting someone to die, especially after what he’d seen today. He was horrified to realize that he was glad the scientists who’d hurt Jasper were dead. They’d never be able to hurt anyone else, although for Jasper, it was too late. But if Preston was horrified by the way he felt now, how would he feel if he killed someone himself?

Wishing someone was dead and being happy about it was very different from actually killing them. Would he be able to share a living space with people who did that for a living? Would he be able to either accept it or ignore it long enough for Jasper to heal?

But even once Jasper felt better, where would they go? Jasper was very much not human anymore, and anyone looking at him could see that. He’d never be able to find a normal job, and Preston doubted anyone would want to date him, although he was ready to beat up anyone who had something to say about that.

“You look like you’re thinking hard,” Ox drawled.

Preston jerked away from him. “I didn’t hear you come up.”

Ox grinned. “Weird, because I’m not a council assassin, and I’m not very light on my feet. I guess you’re too focused on someone else.”

“We found my best friend.”

Ox looked amused. “You sure did. He’s not who I was talking about, though.
