I woke up the next morning to the smell of coffee and found Merick in the kitchen. “Hey.”

“Good morning.” He pushed a travel mug across the breakfast bar. “I found blood leading to the basement. I cleaned it up, but I have questions.”

I hadn’t even thought about cleaning the blood up. “Um, thanks, you didn’t have to do that.”

“Was it your blood?”

“No, it was Simon’s he was wounded in an ambush last night.” I sighed. “I didn’t think of even looking to see if they tracked blood.”

Merick sipped his coffee. “You’re going to be late to the office.”

I glanced at my watch. “Ugh, I am. Thanks for the coffee.” I grabbed it and headed out to the Hummer.

Merick followed me. “It had a rough night last night, I see?”

I noted the dents and dings on it, and the fact that the driver’s side door handle looked like someone molded their handprint into it. “Yeah, seatbelt’s busted too, but at least it’s in one piece.”

Merick snorted. “Let’s get going.”

“You don’t have to go with me.”

“Yes, I do. I’m in charge of daytime guards, and after last night and what happened with the press conference, I’m not taking chances.”

I wasn’t sure what to say. “Okay, fine.” Is what came out of my mouth. I climbed into the Hummer and made a mental note to see what the body shop would want to repair it. I didn’t want to drive without a seatbelt for too long, and I didn’t want Levi to see the damage when I returned the Hummer.

Merick climbed into the passenger side. “Are you okay after last night?”

“Just a little banged up physically.” I shrugged. The pack doctor was nice enough to stich me back up. “Mentally, I’m worried I might have caused a huge rift in an alliance and I might not be seeing Simon again.” Even if he lived.

Merick didn’t ask any questions as I headed toward the PIB office. He sat there in silence, and I wondered if he already knew what happened or if he was just trying to give me space.

My phone rang, and I glanced at the screen. “It’s Travis.” Fuck. I didn’t want bad news while driving, but I didn’t want it to go to voicemail either.

I answered it with the hands-free system. “Agent Collins speaking.”

“He made it through the night. I thought you should know.”

“I appreciate you telling me. I’ve been worried about him.”

Travis snarled a little. “Seems he’s worried about you too. He mumbles for you when he wakes up.”

“Let him know I’m okay. He and I can talk when he’s feeling better.”

Travis said something under his breath. “You’re not allowed on pack lands right now.”

“Trust me, I have no intention of going up there unless there're problems that trip my magic.”

“Later.” He hung up on me and I sighed, tightening my grip on the steering wheel as I drove.

“Travis is upset with you.” Merick looked at me. “I should have stayed last night.”

I shook my head. “He’s upset with how the fight turned out.
