Chapter Nine

THEY THREW ON clothes, and Greer ran to the room next door, Shea right behind him. He tried the door, banged on it, but heard only growls and thumps coming from inside. Two different kinds of growls.

“Frost,” they both said in unison.

Fat chance anyone was going to let him in.

With a quick glance at Shea, he morphed to smoke and slid beneath the door just as Darius had earlier. The room was dark, with paneled walls and curtains drawn. In Darkness, he could see well enough: a broken lamp, nightstand on its side, one man-thing and . . . a bear. Frost was a friggin’ bear. Both turned to him when he materialized as panther in the room.

Darius said, “I’ve got this.”

The bear turned to him, his own gray eyes—minus the brown ring—boring into him. Frost tried to ram him, but Greer stepped out of the way with a second to spare. The bear slammed into the wall. Darius jumped on Frost then, taking advantage of his momentary disorientation. Greer saw him wrap creepy long arms and legs, in the misty form he’d assumed, around the bear.

Frost turned and took a chunk out of Darius’s arm. He fell back, his dark mist trying to repair itself. Greer as panther launched himself at the bear then, tearing at his back. He sank his claws into the cool, dense energy that was Darkness. The bear howled, spinning fast and throwing him off his back. He was slammed into Darius, who was making yowling noises as he repaired his wound, and they both fell to the floor. When Greer jumped up, Frost was slipping beneath the door.

Shea!

He followed, his chest so tight he couldn’t breathe. As bear again, Frost had her by the throat. She scratched and flailed at his thick arms. Frost looked up, his eyes widening as Greer flew at him. He dropped Shea and ran.

“You okay?” Greer asked her.

She nodded, her hands at her throat. “Fine. Go.”

Greer shot after the bear. In the wee hours, if someone spotted them, they’d think them wild animals. They crossed a highway and an expanse of dirt. Far from civilization, though he could see lights in the near distance. He remembered seeing it from the road, a large piece of land with a lake in the middle. It had caught his eye because it was odd to see a lake in this area.

Footsteps pounded behind him. It was instinct to check, which he did, though he figured it was Darius, who he saw barreling toward him as fast as a long-distance runner. Greer turned back toward Frost, who was now out of sight. He saw reeds move and ran toward them.

“I’ll handle this,” Darius whispered fiercely.

“That’s what this guy wants, you idiot. One on one. We outnumber him. Let’s pound him and finish this.”

With a grunt, Darius launched himself into the reeds. The sound of two bodies colliding followed, then a splash. Greer rolled his eyes. What the hell was his problem? Why
