Chapter 17

Three days later…

“So, you just weren’t going to go?” Cadon asked, clenching his teeth. “I still can’t believe it.”

“Can you drop it already. I explained to you why.”

“Money,” Cadon still sounded pissed. “Because of something stupid like money?”

“Yes, money and the fact that I don’t have any. Money may be stupid to you but it’s not so stupid to me. I actually hate money. I wish I didn’t need it but…” she sighed. “Forget it.”

“I’m not forgetting anything. I told you I would pay you for having to remain a prisoner in this house,” he whispered so softly that she could hardly hear him. “That includes any doctor’s appointments you need.”

She glanced up at Magnar who was sitting on the other side of the room. Kerry still couldn’t believe it was the same man who had arrived at the house four days ago. He winked at her when he caught her looking. She narrowed her eyes back at him.

His hair was neatly styled and gelled. His beard was trimmed. The very pregnant lady sitting one seat up from him was checking him out something fierce. It made her want to laugh. If only that lady knew what he was, she’d probably have her baby right there at that very moment. Only, she was looking at him with lust, despite being nine months pregnant.

The receptionist was checking Cadon out. Make that, the receptionist and the other two ladies in the room. The one woman had the good grace to blush and stare back down at her magazine after being caught. For all intents and purposes Kerry and Cadon were together. He was holding her hand. “Don’t do it again. You need to tell me if you need something. Especially if it’s for the child. Are we on the same page?”

“Yes, okay, fine…I’ll tell you.”

“Good. Glad to hear it.” He leaned in a bit closer, pretending to nuzzle into her hair. “I’m so glad Magnar has agreed to let us go in to see the healer without him.”

“Me too. We would have had a hard time explaining…things.”

Cadon hummed his agreement.

“Um …” the receptionist called, blushing when Cadon looked up. “Kerry Thomas…the doctor will see you now.” Funny how the receptionist was still looking at Cadon and not at her. Her face turning a bright red.

“Thank you.” They both rose to their feet. She watched how Magnar was looking at them. She could see the distrust written in his narrowed eyes.

“There is only one entrance and therefore only one exit,” Cadon remarked, obviously picking up on his animosity as well.

“We won’t be long,” Kerry quickly added.

Magnar smiled, it didn’t reach his eyes and looked tense, as did his shoulders. “Five lives depend on it,” he said, referring to Cadon’s team back at the house.

It was at times like this that she was reminded of what Magnar was. She wasn’t referring to him being a shifter but rather to him being a cold-blooded killer. Make no mistake, he was. He would kill Cadon’s team given half the chance.
