CHAPTER SEVEN

“THIS MORNING? ARE YOU sure?” Tore stood at the kitchen counter, frowning at his phone. Two weeks had passed since I’d failed to kill the night elf, and the guys had been training me around the clock—even on Christmas day. Swords, knives, hand to hand, energy . . . they drilled me every day from dawn until midnight, only giving me breaks to lift weights and eat the insane amount of protein that had become my normal. If I saw one more chicken breast, I swore I’d lose my mind. I hadn’t had a designated cooking night since the time I nearly gave us all salmonella with my undercooked meat—it wasn’t my fault Gran never taught me how to cook—so I didn’t get a break from the menu ever. But the guys’ methodology worked. Between the training and the poultry, I could bench twice what I’d been able to when I’d first come to the safe house, and I had a sweet four-pack of abdominal awesome. Despite the chill, I’d taken to wearing tank tops. I liked seeing the slight bulges that previously had been non-existent. My muscles were nothing compared to the guys’, but they were more than I’d ever had before, and I was proud of them.

“Were you able to get the coordinates? Or at least a general location? What color was the light?” Tore continued to interrogate whoever was on the other end of his call.

Bodie walked into the kitchen and raised an eyebrow. “Who’s he talking to?” he whispered. He plopped onto the stool next to mine at the island and snatched one of the chicken strips off my salad.

“Take them all. Please.” I was so freaking sick of chicken.

“Nope. You still need to put on some more pounds, Skinny Minnie.” Bodie chewed.

I rolled my eyes and flexed my arms. “Skinny Minnie? Seriously? Have you seen these guns?”

Across the kitchen, Tore tucked the phone against his shoulder and jotted something down in a notebook. “That helps. Any additional information you’re able to gather, pass it on to Johann. He’s going to run communication while Mack, Bodie, and I are on the ground with Allie.”

“Who is he talking to?” Bodie asked again.

“Dunno. Somebody from Elfheim?” I speared another forkful of salad and dutifully chewed.

“Alfheim,” Bodie corrected. He leaned forward on his elbows. “Wonder what’s going on.”

I shrugged, then resumed slogging my way through my lunch.

“Okay, thanks. We’re going to weapon up right now, and we’ll call for the Bifrost in fifteen. Takk for the tip.” Tore ended the call and turned back to the counter to write something else down. As he did, he tucked his phone in the back pocket of his jeans. They were faded, and fitted, and hugged his lower half in places that I probably shouldn’t have stared at. But I did. A lot.

It wasn’t my fault the world’s most irritating guy had the world’s most impressive butt.

“Okay, Pepper, training days are over. It’s time to hit the field.” Tore turned around. I forced my eyes upward before he caught me ogling.
