Chapter Three

Jennifer didn’t engage in the verbal battle being fought behind her. No, she simply continued to stare at the bustling city below. Night had fallen, and the landscape filled with sparkling lights and the rapid race of cars rushing down the highways. The world moved on as if no one had attempted to commit murder that very morning at the courthouse.

Her life had irrevocably changed in that split second but everyone one else continued as if it were just another day. She supposed it was for them. For her, it had been both frightening and exhilarating. Even now, when she should be worried about the men in Brett’s group, all she could think about was hauling Brett back to the bedroom.

Instead, she had to deal with a bunch of overgrown, bickering children. Except for Brett. Her mate remained silent and watchful, taking in everyone’s reactions to the accusation of betrayal. Throw a group together, roar out the accusation and then let them fight it out themselves. The plan didn’t always work. There were those who were psychopathic and flat out evil shifters, after all, and didn’t react in any way, but she didn’t sense that in this group. No, her lioness firmly believed one of these males was just an idiot and a sucker for a pretty face.

That didn’t mean she’d break it up. Let them go after each other. It would be a hard and painful lesson to the guilty party. They were lions and sometimes it did boil down to survival of the fittest. Or rather smartest.

Snarls and tumbling growls filled the air, and she found herself easily able to differentiate each one. Listening and thinking back to the event, it took her less than five minutes to discover the person who had betrayed Brett. She imagined it took her mate even less time. The evidence tinkled together, and she had only one question to pose to the gathered males.

She tore her attention from the cityscape and enveloped the half-dozen men in a single glance. “Excuse me?”

Seven sets of eyes focused on her, one pair holding a look of pure need while the other six stared with barely suppressed emotions that ranged from annoyed to furious. Hell, one pair looked like he had homicide on the brain. Oh, she couldn’t wait to kick that guy’s ass. Was she a woman? Yes. Was she a total bitch who fought dirty? Fuck. Yeah.

“What do you need, sweetheart? Can’t you see the big boys are talking?” That condescending question came from Zane. Dead Zane.

Brett growled his displeasure, but Jennifer acted.

Really, when thinking back on it later, she’d probably feel bad about lunging after the guy. But right now, all she could ponder was whether she could get to the male before Brett. Turned out, as she dove toward him, easily leaping the six feet that separated them, Jennifer was quicker.

She didn’t hesitate to wrap her fingers around his throat and squeeze. She didn’t prick his skin, or even tighten her grip that hard.
