Chapter Nine

The rest of the week trickled by without further incident. Then again, Cash had been serious about Cedric not leaving the house again, so there was little chance that he’d be hurt inside his home.

That didn’t mean he was about to let his guard down, though.

There had been times in the early morning hours, while Cedric was sleeping, and Cash was winding down his night, when he was almost sure that someone was lurking outside the doors. The curtains were drawn, and no paranormal could get inside, but it still made him twitchy to feel as though he was being watched right through the walls.

Saturday morning was just the same. It was nearing four o’clock in the morning when that creepy sensation of being stalked washed over him while he was sitting in the living room, idly flipping through the channels on the television. Cash was fed up with it and tired of waiting for something to happen. If this asshole wanted a fight, he was about to get one.

Turning off the television, Cash tossed the remote to the cushion beside him and stomped to the front door, jerking it open and stepping out onto his porch. Even if the guy couldn’t come in without an invitation, he made sure to close the door behind him. Paranormals might need to be invited in, but bullets and knives didn’t.

The night was warm, but a slight chill carried on the breeze.

Everything seemed quiet—too quiet. No frogs croaked. No crickets chirped. It was as if the night itself held its breath, waiting cautiously for what would happen next.

Cash didn’t seen anyone at first, but as his eyes adjusted to the darkness the shadowy form of a man came into focus near the front of his SUV. He hadn’t expected anyone to be so close, but he wasn’t about to turn tail and run.

“Why are you here?” he demanded.

Instead of an answer, a body slammed into him from the side, spinning him back inside the house as the door was slammed behind him.

“Are you insane?” Edan Russo demanded, looking at him like he’d lost his damn mind. “What exactly did you hope to accomplish with that little stunt?”

“What the hell are you doing slinking around my house in the middle of the night?”

Edan released him with a huff before stomping across the room and falling into one of the armchairs. “Saving your life obviously.” Gone was the calm, dignified man he’d met with earlier in the week.

The guy sitting in front of him looked to be highly pissed off.

“That’s not an answer. Why are you here?”

“After Cedric was attacked earlier in the week, I had a feeling that something like this would happen. I’ve been watching your place for the last few nights, hoping my brother would show himself.”

“Your brother?” Well, this just kept getting better. Could he even trust Edan? He’d thought so before, but now he wasn’t so sure.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before, but I wasn’t sure. I knew it had to be one of the original guardians, but I didn’t know which one.
