Chapter 12

Adrian waited until the sleek, black car pulled up to the curb before he allowed himself to step out into the light of the afternoon. As he stepped forward, the back window slid down, revealing Michael’s handsome face, creased with what looked like annoyance. His blue eyes swept over Adrian’s dripping clothes, up to the strands of wet hair sticking to his forehead.

“You stink,” Michael said after a long moment.

Adrian wrinkled his nose, glad he had grown dead to the odor. “You try taking a dip in the polluted river and see how good you smell.”

“I thought you were trying to gather information, not go swimming,” Michael said dryly, though Adrian thought he heard humor in his voice.

“If I was only going swimming, do you really think I would have called you to have someone come out and pick me up? I can’t get to my car right now,” Adrian said grumpily.

Michael opened the door and scooted across the seat. “I take it that circumstances would make it unsafe for you to be anywhere near your car?”

Adrian slid in, closing the door behind him. “If they haven’t found it yet, I don’t want to risk them seeing me searching for it. Being chased by a bunch of assholes who want to kill me is one of those things you try to make sure only happens once in a great while. That way, the spark of the moment never really wears off.”

Michael frowned at him. “Something is bothering you.”

“Why does everyone keep saying that?” Adrian asked in annoyance.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but you only seem to babble when something is bothering you,” Michael said calmly.

Adrian hesitated, paused, then clicked his tongue. “You’re wrong.”

Michael smiled, motioning to whoever was driving to take off. “And I’ll take that to mean that I’m correct.”

“Do you want to hear what I learned or do you want to talk about my feelings?” Adrian asked in annoyance.

Michael made a welcoming gesture. “By all means, tell me what was so important that I should drop everything to pick you up.”

“I said to send someone to get me, not come get me personally. Not for nothing. I would have liked a chance to shower and change my clothes before I saw you again,” Adrian grumbled.

Michael raised a brow “Is that you caring about how you present yourself when you’re around me?”

Adrian found himself hesitating again, a bit of warmth entering his cheeks at the insinuation. “Again, feelings, or facts?”

Michael chuckled. “Carry on then.”

Adrian contemplated strangling him but huffed instead. “Alright, so it looks like there’s a group of people who are trying to bring you down specifically because they think you’re one of the strongest pack leaders in the city.”

Michael frowned thoughtfully. “Not inaccurate. Depending on who you ask, I’m either the strongest or one of the strongest. In terms of income, I certainly am the most well-armed.”

“Yeah, well, that’s what’s made you a target in this case. They’re trying to bring you down in the hopes
