Chapter 18

We remained at the motel until Adam returned with groceries. Logan refused to leave until he knew Sadie would be taken care of and fed. Adam had even bought a small microwave and set it on the dresser.

I kept an eye on my phone, hoping for an update from Justus on how things were going with Cedric. We stopped by a Mexican restaurant for tacos and Christian grabbed a booth in the back, keeping his distance. I thought about him tampering with Page’s head and remembered how he’d done the same to me many months ago. Now I knew why Simon wore sunglasses around Vampires. It wasn’t just having a Vampire steal information, but the threat of one erasing important memories.

Justus finally sent confirmation that they’d captured Cedric and were heading to the motel to question him. Adam decided he didn’t want Cedric anywhere near Sadie, so he called the office and rented out a separate room for the interrogation. Justus wasn’t sure when it would all be over, but he said he’d be back the following morning at the very latest.

Logan parked his car outside our rural home. The sun had just set after a long, unbelievable day. I opened the garage and we dragged ourselves inside.

“There’s a lot of room in here to rollerblade if you want to have some fun,” I said dryly.

Logan tugged at the back of my hair and spoke in a scolding voice. “I do not enjoy walking on wheels.”

I let out a snort as we rode down in the elevator. “I don’t think I’d call what you were doing… walking. But the Wright brothers would have commended you for your attempts at flight.”

Once downstairs, I locked the door behind us and removed my coat. “Finn?”

Toenails clicked against the wood floor and a large red wolf paced toward me. The hairs on his face were tinged with grey, and his ears were larger than the average wolf. He didn’t seem like his usual self, but these surroundings weren’t familiar to him yet.

“Hey, Finn,” I greeted, stroking the soft tuft of fur behind his ear.

Logan bent down and offered him the palm of his hand, which Finn’s wolf sniffed. “He’s going to need some time to adjust.”

“How long does he stay like this?”

“Usually by breakfast he switches back.”

I went into the control room saw Christian moving on the security monitor, but he quickly disappeared behind a tree. Sometimes I wondered if he really liked his job; he’d once mentioned an interest in doing something different. Christian had deterred attacks against me on more occasions than could be counted. He never bragged about it either. In fact, Novis was the one who had told me about a number of encounters. But Christian took his failures seriously, and perhaps I should have taken his successes more to heart.

While Logan prepared leftovers for Finn, I journeyed downstairs. Max was lounging comfortably on Justus’s pillow, sprinkling his little black hairs all over the bed.

After washing my hair, I slipped into a pair of loose shorts and a soft black T-shirt.
