“More coffee?”

I looked up and met the gaze of an imposing, well-built Black man standing in front of me. Thick and solid, he radiated strength and stability. His deep-ebony complexion glistened under the harsh lighting as a coffeepot hung in his large hand.

“Sure. Might as well get a caffeine high.”

A frown marred Kolton’s handsome face. “That bad, huh?”

He had no idea. “Yeah. That bad.”

“You know,” said the owner of The Blue Demon as he poured hot coffee into my waiting mug while I watched the busy morning rush around us. “I’m a good listener.”

“I believe you.” I truly did.

“Why don’t you tell me about it?” Kolton turned to place the coffeepot back on the burner.

I opened my mouth but then closed it.

Kolton spread his large hands on the counter and leaned closer. “Anything you share with me stays between us. I’m a werewolf of my word. I promise.”

“I believe that too.” I thought about it. It would probably do me some good to tell another soul about my issue. Kolton was a strong, capable, and—I’m guessing—alpha, and he would have some valuable insight. But I didn’t want him to get involved. The last thing I wanted was for the werewolf to get hurt or, worse, killed by The Forsaken.

“Let’s say hypothetically that I joined a group of people. Bad people. The worst,” I began, trying to give him as much as I could without divulging too much. “And these people might ask me to do evil things. I don’t want to do them… but I might be forced to. See, being in this group, I can be on the inside.” I shook my head. “Sorry, that came out wrong. What I meant to say is that being a part of this group, I get to glimpse how things work from the inside. I’ll know their plans. Their secrets. I’ll have a better idea of what’s happening.”

“I get it.” Kolton watched me for a moment, his dark eyes focused on my face. “Why did you join?”

“To save a friend.” Totally true. But I felt like Dash didn’t want any part of that friendship. Tough. I was going to find him anyway.

The big werewolf blinked. “And what will you do with their secrets?”

I swallowed some coffee. “I’ll use it against them. I want to take them down. I want to stop them from spreading their evil.”

“Ah.” Kolton leaned back and folded his massive arms over his wide chest. “That sounds dangerous. Undercover-agent shit.”

I nodded. “I guess you can say that.” He was right. I was an undercover agent, come to think of it. That was both exciting and nerve-racking. In all my years of working as a paranormal investigator, I’d never been undercover or disguised as anything I wasn’t. My work had always been straightforward—discover a dead body or missing person and uncover the murderer or those responsible. No secrets or schemes, just straightforward detective work.

I shifted nervously in my seat. Could I handle this? Would The Forsaken buy my lies? I didn’t think I was a great actress, and we all knew I couldn’t do a poker face to save my life.
