Chapter Seven

When Graydon started to follow, Dragos told him, “On second thought, let’s all go back and convene there. I want to rinse the mummy dust off and change into fresh clothes.”

“Sounds good,” Graydon said.

Pia glanced at the sky that was lightening with predawn. The interloper had gorged on plenty of food at the beach party, so Dragos’s body had been fueled recently, but she never did have that smoothie Liam was going to make.

It had been almost twenty-four hours since she’d been able to choke down any sustenance, and not only had she expended a lot of energy, she had also been pumping breast milk for Niall.

She was starting to feel hollow and lightheaded. As much as she wanted the interloper destroyed for good, part of her was relieved at Dragos’s decision. She just needed a few fucking minutes before the next thing happened.

They followed Liam back, and the house very quickly became overcrowded with everyone present at the same time. A few people spilled onto the deck outside the master suite, which made Pia give Dragos a wry scowl, and he returned. It was good to have such a tight-knit community, but it also meant they weren’t going to get any alone time soon.

We need that bigger place, he told her telepathically. Like right now.

I know. She stroked the long, powerful line of his back. We need a place so big everybody can have their own space in it, and then they won’t even notice when we leave and get our own real place.

Both hunger and laughter glimmered in his darkened gaze. I don’t want to take too long before resuming the hunt, or I’d pull you into the bathroom and to hell with everybody else.

Hold that thought for now. We’ll pick it again soon. Pushing his arms away so he didn’t forget and touch her with the mummy cooties on his hands, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him quickly.

Growling under his breath, he deepened the kiss before pulling back. Frustration hardened his features.

By that point, she was so hungry she was starting to feel faint. “I have to eat.”

“Go,” he said immediately. “I’ll be there in five.”

She made her way to the kitchen, where Liam stood at the counter, wolfing down beef sandwiches. Aryal, Quentin, and Grym were there as well, drinking beer and polishing off a huge platter of wings and chicken legs.

Quentin left the food to give her a hug, and she leaned into him gratefully. “The things you and I have seen since getting entangled with this group,” she whispered.

His chest moved in a quiet laugh. “Yeah, the things we’ve seen. Glad you’re okay.”

“Thank you.” She kissed his cheek then stood back and said to all of them. “Thank you for everything.”

Aryal nodded, and Grym tilted his beer bottle at her. They would never talk about what they had done, she knew. What happened in the sentinel club stayed in the sentinel club. But that was okay by her. She didn’t need the details of what they did to Dragos in that beach tent.
