Chapter 17

The ice pack that sat over Ben’s eye was starting to make his face go numb, which, given everything that had happened, he appreciated. The man who had approached them at the bar had been unwilling to back down and leave them alone, so it had turned into a fight, which turned into an all-out brawl. At some point, he’d looked over at Imogen and realized she was kicking just as much ass as he was. When there was a break in the oncoming stream of opponents, he’d tried to drag her away from the fight, only to be stared down by her golden wolf eyes. Eventually, she’d relented and they’d edged out of the fight, but not before her hand wrapped around the collar of some random dude and dragged him along with them.

Now, they were in the same room they’d been escorted to that morning, and their new friend was sitting in the chair, facing them. He could still hear the brawl raging on downstairs.

“So, are you going to tell us how an item of yours came to have fae blood on it?” Ben asked, peeling the ice pack away from his skin, thankful that Alec had texted him during the fight with the information.

“How the hell should I know?” he sputtered as Ben felt Imogen begin to pace behind him. A low growl seemed to not only be coming from her but radiating out from her body.

The man’s eyes tracked her movements as she crossed back and forth behind him.

“Shifter tracker.” Ben hooked his thumb over his shoulder to indicate Imogen before he continued. “Fury,” he added, while pointing to himself. “Do you really want to piss us off? Think about it. She’ll run you to the ground, and I’ll drive you crazy and torment you the whole time. All we want to know is what happened to the fae you met.”

“Nothin’. They were already hurt when I saw them.”

Imogen huffed behind him.

“Did I forget to mention? We can tell when you’re lying. So let’s try this again, shall we?”

The guy was starting to get scared, and it made Ben wonder what kind of supernatural being he was. Usually they were tougher than this guy. His heel bounced up and down on the floor while he wiped his hands on his wool-clad thighs. It was his eyes that truly betrayed his nerves, though. He kept shifting between Ben, Imogen, and the door, as though he was trying to figure out how he could make a break for it. The problem was his nerves were giving away his thoughts. Every time the man twitched and looked ready to move, Ben simply moved his body to block his line of sight to the door.

“Look, man, I just bring stuff the boss is lookin’ for. I got nothin’ against no one, but I’ve gotta eat and pay my bills.”

“And your boss is looking for supernatural beings?”

He nodded.

“So why doesn’t he just take you?”

“He knows people will be more trusting with one of their own.
