CHAPTER SEVEN

While Jason was gone, I changed out of my dirty clothes. It was lucky that I had chosen to wear dark colors. Maybe the mud stains wouldn’t show after all. I dressed in dark wash jeans and a deep purple turtleneck, then went back downstairs to call Lucy.

The phone rang only once before a sharp voice answered, “Hello?”

“This is Xoe,” I responded. “Is Lucy home?”

Silence on the other end of the line. After a minute Lucy picked up.

I sighed loudly to show her my exasperation. “What time?”

“In thirty minutes. You need a ride? Lela’s picking me and Allison up.”

“Jason’s taking me, so I’ll meet you there.”

“Thanks again Xoe, I mean it.”

“Yeah, yeah,” I said sarcastically, then hung up the phone.

As soon as the phone clicked in the cradle it dawned on me that Allison had no reason to be there. It was likely that she’d try to include herself in the whole werewolf pack thing. She hates being left out. I guess I’d find out in thirty minutes.

Jason came clambering in through the backdoor a moment later. It still astounded me how fast he could be. Supposedly I should have been able to move that fast too, but the supernatural speed thing was beyond me. I listened as he rummaged through the backpack to find my keys. He came into the living room and tossed them to me.

“Ready to go?” he asked. “I still need to stop by my apartment and change.”

I smiled despite my foul mood. Jason always made me smile, even when he was being sullen and pouty. What might have been annoying from someone else, I found endearing coming from Jason. Xoe, big bad half-demon, going soft. “We’re supposed to meet them in thirty minutes.”

He walked up and put his arm around my shoulders. “Let us go and face your little fiend . . . I mean friend.”

I held up a finger. “Correction, let us go and ignore my little friend.”

Jason smiled and walked me to the front door. We both went outside, locking the door behind us, then headed straight for Jason’s charcoal gray car. Chase watched us from his seat on my porch swing, then got up and jogged after us.

“Where are you going?” he called.

I continued ignoring him as I waited for Jason to walk to the driver’s side and unlock the doors.

Chase caught up to stand beside me. “If you won’t tell me, I’m going to have to call your dad.”

I still couldn’t place his accent, Greek maybe? “Seriously?” I asked.

He nodded, and grinned from ear to ear when he realized that he had me. Man he was annoying.

I sighed and gestured to the backseat. “Get in.”

Jason gave me a startled expression over the roof of his car.

I shrugged. “I’d rather deal with him than my dad.”

Jason still looked skeptical as he unlocked the doors and got in. I slid into the front passenger’s seat and buckled my seatbelt, then turned with a squeak of leather to look back at Chase as Jason pulled out of my driveway.
