Chapter Six

When Chavez opened his eyes the following morning and Lenny wasn’t in the room, panic tried to set in. He shot from the floor and raced down the stairs, curious when he smelled bacon and eggs.

“Lazybones,” Reno said when Chavez entered the kitchen. “Thought you would sleep the day away.”

“It’s seven in the morning,” Chavez groused. “Where’s Lenny?”

Chavez had always been an early riser, but since he wasn’t working for Mr. Winter at the moment, and as fucked up as this situation was, this was also like a mini vacation for him. And when was the last time he had one of those? Years.

Reno nodded toward the back of the house. “Outside. Korby is keeping an eye on him.”

Chavez was starving, but he wanted to know why his mate was out there. He crossed through the den and slid the glass door aside. The fresh morning air smelled even better than breakfast. Chavez sucked in a lungful as he looked around for Lenny.

His brows furrowed when he saw his mate. “What the fuck?”

Korby’s soft chuckle almost made Chavez jump. He hadn’t seen the wolf shifter to his right. “The beast wandered into the yard, and your mate hasn’t stopped playing with him.”

Chavez crossed the yard and stopped a foot from Lenny. The large mutt growled at him. Lenny’s head snapped up, and he stared wide-eyed at Chavez.

“He just came into the yard,” Lenny said. “I’ve checked him for some kind of dog tag, but he doesn’t have one.”

The fucking dog looked bigger than Lenny. It appeared to be a mixture between a Rottweiler and something else. Its tail was long and fluffy, but it had the pronounced face of a Rottweiler and the shiny black coat. Its ears were pinned back, as though ready to defend Lenny.

Chavez gave a louder, deeper growl, showing his canines.

“You better not be trying to frighten him.” Lenny got to his feet, indignation in his eyes. “He’s just scared.”

Chavez jerked a hand at the dog. “That big fucker is scared? He looks like he can eat you in one bite. No, no way. He’s not sticking around. We’re taking him to the vet to see if he’s got a tracking chip. If he doesn’t, we’ll find out what to do with him, but he’s not staying here.”

“Thor is lost and scared. You need to be nice.”

“Thor?” Chavez nearly choked on the word. “You’ve already fucking named him?”

Lenny narrowed his eyes. “Well, what did you want me to call him?”

“A cab.” Chavez wanted to walk away so he could compose himself, but no damn way was he leaving his mate with that beast. If “Thor” hadn’t had the Rottweiler features, Chavez would’ve sworn he was a mix between a Cane Corso and an English Mastiff. The fucker was the size of a pony.

Lenny threw his hands up. “You’re being impossible!”

Impossible would’ve been taking that beast down if Chavez had to. Even though his wolf was much larger than his counterpart in the wild, the dog was still humungous.
