CHAPTER 12

Dex

I massaged her shoulders as I rinsed out my hair. Her purrs as she dropped her head forward had me ready to take her again. Another perk of being a shifter was not needing much recovery time. But I didn’t make a move. I wanted to care for her. I pressed a kiss to her shoulder and turned off the water. Her scent teased me. She smelled so good, like a sanctuary in the storm. With her naked in my arms, the rest of the world didn’t exist.

The doorbell rang.

For a second, I didn’t recognize the noise, as if it wasn’t quite strong enough to break the spell I was under. But Natasha stiffened, turning toward the door. Instead of panic, there was a cold calm in her eyes. The deadly assassin.

“Do you have any other weapons besides the gun in your nightstand?” she whispered.

I nodded as I got out of the shower. “There’s a rifle in the garage and a couple boxes of ammunition.”

She grabbed the bathrobe off the back of the door and wrapped it around herself. My robe was big on her, but I didn’t have time to admire it. She disappeared down the hallway while I yanked on a pair of jeans and went to the door. I raked my hand through my wet hair and frowned.

I recognized the scent coming through the door. I opened it and stared into General Sloan’s piercing eyes. They were light green, almost silver, and while he could’ve been in his sixties, being a werewolf meant physically he aged very slowly. He had silver hair and the body of a fit fifty-year-old, if that.

“Sloan?” I peered around him. He’d come alone. “What are you doing here?”

“Tracking a fugitive.” He sucked in a slow breath and met my eyes as he shook his head. “She’s here.” He ground his teeth. “Dammit. Every cop in Arizona is looking for her.”

I didn’t move to welcome him inside. He was a werewolf, but he wasn’t a member of my pack, and he’d worked with Nero on super soldier research that had ended up killing Jett’s brother. He claimed to be in Sedona to keep the Transparency Collective from exposing shifters to the world, but so far, he hadn’t managed to stop the judge from throwing Natasha in jail the night before the new moon, so he could take that judgment shining in his eyes and fuck off.

“Are you here to tell me something I don’t know?” I snapped.

“I’m here to find the assassin your pack broke out of jail. Stop dicking around with me and let me help you.”

“Haven’t you helped enough?” Natasha spat from behind me.

When I turned around, she was dressed in her now clean borrowed clothes and her wet hair was already braided.

“I’m handling it,” Sloan growled.

“Not fast enough.” I narrowed my eyes. “The judge has taken the super soldier serum, a drug you knew was in development, since the Department of Defense was who funded it. He’s your mess, yet Natasha was the one locked up.
