I walked out to greet the guys in the lobby. Not in the mood to talk, I nodded toward the back office and Logan, Will, Max, and Brandon hurried off to Doc and Kira. Will and I exchanged nods, both understanding we would talk later.

When they were gone, I smacked a fist into the side of the wall and it left a gaping hole, concrete crumpling to the ground. Luckily, my hole matched all the others throughout the war torn office.

Trent walked in, keys in hand and examined my dent in the wall “Let me guess, you’re jealous of the perp’s damage and trying to get your hole in the running? You’re too competitive for your own good, man.” He smiled but I couldn’t.

“God, Trent I was knocked out, my uncle was taken down trying to protect me, and Kira was here. She could’ve been killed just for being at the wrong place at the wrong damn time. Damn it.”

He tried to place a hand on my shoulder but I moved away “It’s ok man, you-”

I cut him off, yelling “And worse the bastard saw her and now he can go after her.”

Trent pushed my shoulders, got in my face “Jay, it’s not your fault. If the guy ran away when he saw Kira then he probably has no plans to find her later. If he wanted to silence her, he would’ve killed her then and there. Think about it, anyone could’ve found out about you’re injuries after the club today, which I’m so sorry about by the way. News travels fast. Someone probably thought they’d get lucky and finish you off when you were down. They just got more than they bargained for with Doc and then Kira entering the building.”

It made sense but my brain was still too filled with rage to acknowledge it. “He could’ve-” I snarled.

“But he didn’t.”

We stood there in silence.

I saw Trent scan the broken lobby of Doc’s office. I knew what he would see. End tables and sofas upturned and thrown across the room, the curtain over the window ripped apart, hanging off the bent metal rod, typical vet office magazines thrown all over the place, glass and water from the fish tank everywhere, not to mention the glass from the shattered window. It was a mess and I wanted to scream for not being conscious when it happened, for not protecting them.

Trent nodded to me “Do you, uh, want to hit the wall again?”

I did but when Trent said it, it sounded less like a good idea. “I think I’m good now.”

“Good, did Doc get an I.D. on the attacker?”

“No, he was unfamiliar and by the smell of him, he was human. I also thought I scented residual magic when I came to, but I can’t be sure”

He nodded “I don’t smell any magic, dude but it’s possible, either way a human, even one with some power is a strange choice to hire when you want to kill a werewolf.”

“Yeah but it doesn’t tip off the species responsible for hiring him so it was also damn smart.
