Son of a bitch, he was losing his damn mind.

It didn’t help that he was cranky when he first woke up anyway. He was downright uncivil when it was the ass crack of dawn and he wasn’t buried under his bedsheets.

By nature, Nik was a night owl, as were most of his pack members. He and his board of advisers held most of their business meetings at night, often going as late as 1:00 or 2:00 a.m.

Nik and Agent Asshole had been wandering around the woods for the past fifteen minutes, seemingly going nowhere. More than once, Nik offered—yeah, yeah, through gritted teeth, but hey, at least he was attempting to be polite—to just use his wolf nose to sniff out the body site. And every time, Chang insisted it was “just over here” or “he was just a little turned around.”

By a little, you mean miles, dipshit, Nik wanted to say but bit his lip.

Mostly, he just didn’t think the pompous ass wanted to lower himself to accepting help from a werewolf, but what the fuck ever. Captain Stick Up His Ass was going to have to get over that shit soon, because Nik was running out of patience.

Nik’s temper was nearing explosive levels when they crested a hill and there stood the crew, about half a mile away. “Ah, there they are,” said Chang, carefully making his way over to them. “I told you they were around here.”

Nik grumbled more expletives, too softly for the agent to hear, as they drew up to the rest of the crime investigation crew.

“Dyson,” Agent Chang barked, “give us a report.”

A young blond man with freckles and huge round glasses looked up, startled. “Uh, yes, sir!” He waved awkwardly at Nik, smiling a little. “Agent Nick Dyson,” he said in a voice that was slightly high pitched. Nik grasped his hand firmly in a quick shake, the kid’s nerves seeping into him. “Only, I spell mine with a C between the I and the K.”

Nik raised a brow.

“Um, right,” Nick with a C said, turning to the corpse. “I’m the guy that examines the victims at the crime scene. What we’ve found out so far is that she’s—well, was—a witch. A generalist, for the most part, with a knack for hypnotism.”

“Hypnotism?”

“Yes. A very niche type of magic. She went missing from Savannah, Georgia, about a week ago. Her parents had thought she’d run away with her high school flame, who was a drug addict and a loser. He was always trying to get her to use her powers for his benefit. You know,” he said, wriggling his fingers in the air, a gesture Nik took to mean “magic,” “hypnotizing drug dealers to give them all their drugs without paying for them so he could then turn around and sell them, or hypnotizing bank tellers to give them all the cash in the drawer or the manager to give them the code to the safe.”

“He gets it,” Chang said tersely.

“Okay, so,” Nick went on quickly, flushing.
