Annabella looked from Adam’s ashen sober face to Custo’s. Neither was talking and the tension in the car was poisoning the air. The connection she’d shared with Custo that morning felt weirdly severed and distant, though just looking at his profile made her want him all over again. Wanting Custo was a fantastic distraction from the lure of the Shadowlands. That is, if Custo would talk to her or signify in some way that they were in this together. They were a team, weren’t they?

But it wasn’t as if she could ask while third-wheel Adam was right there, especially with Custo riding shotgun and her in the backseat. She’d just have to wait until they were alone again.

The mood heightened the sense that everything seemed shadowed today, the darkest places falling to impenetrable black. A prickly awareness told her that they were being followed. Flashes of adrenaline jumped her nervousness to paranoia. She hugged the fear close to keep her on edge, her mind sharp. Her anxiety, added to last night’s aches, made her muscles and joints complain bitterly, but ballet had taught her to tell good pain from bad pain. Bad pain meant you were hurt. Good pain kept you on the top of your game. This was good pain, a centering pain; she couldn’t afford to lose herself to Wolf again.

She knew they were going to meet others like Custo. She figured they were going to ask for help with their next try. The performance season would open in a few days, and this time she intended to get it right. They’d ask for help, make a plan, and get rid of Wolf.

The day called for proactive, forward movement. Custo and Adam, however, looked like they were going to a funeral.

“Anyone care to clue me in?” she asked. She kept her tone light to counter the oppressive mood.

After the horrible performance last night, and being duped by Wolf into almost going with him voluntarily, she couldn’t stand any secrets.

Custo glanced over his shoulder at her from the front seat. “Nothing for you to worry about.”

Macho bullshit always ticked her off. She countered it with a little bitch. “I need to know what’s going on.”

But Custo turned abruptly back to Adam. “No, over there. I can feel it, not more than a block from us.”

He was ignoring her. Not one hour ago, he’d been inside her, and now he refused to answer.

Adam slowed the car to a crawl and glanced at Custo. “You ready for this?”

Adam was ignoring her, too.

“I want it taken care of,” Custo answered.

Pigheaded men. “Someone needs to fill me in right now, or…”…or she didn’t know what she’d do, but it would be extremely unpleasant for everyone.

“You already know, Annabella,” Custo said placatingly. She didn’t like his impersonal voice. This wasn’t the man who’d just shared her bed and her body. He continued, “I’ve been called in to meet with some of the others like me. I hope to get some information about how to deal with the wolf.
