Chapter Nine

Three Days Later

Rocco stepped onto the back porch and the moment he smelled the coffee, he felt at ease. Graham was curled up on a chair, complete with a mug of coffee and a blanket. He’d been tense the last three days, living with Rose, aware of another man close to her. The only reason he’d been able to cope was the fact Graham had no scent, which was fucking weird.

He didn’t like the camouflage that had clearly been added to Graham’s DNA, or whatever kind of shit Milton messed with.

“Morning,” Graham said. “I made a whole potful.”

“I know.”

“You wanted to make sure I’d not done a runner?”

“It could happen.”

“True,” Graham said with a sigh. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’d thought about it. Just so you and Rose could figure out your shit. You know.”

“Why didn’t you try to run?”

“And go where? I ran into this place and I didn’t even know where I was going.” Graham laughed. “You guys are fucking real-life wolves, and I’m this experiment. You don’t have a clue what hope I have with the human world. Knowing my luck, they’d hunt me down, stuff me, or worse, throw me in a cage and experiment on me. None of those options are good. I’d rather take your kind of cage, thank you.”

“Rose’s place is not a cage.”

“I wasn’t talking about this place. I was talking about your actual cages. They were comfy, and I even got a hot woman to give me a care package.”

Rocco growled. “Be careful. You’re lucky you don’t stink, otherwise, you and I would have a problem.”

“Yeah, I am curious, though, I wonder if my farts stink.” Just then, Graham tensed up and then let one out.

“Are you for real right now?”

“Rose isn’t around, and it’s just you and me. I don’t smell, so I guess neither do my farts.” His face scrunched up and he seemed to go a little green. “That was a bad idea.”

Rocco couldn’t even believe he was entertained by this man. In the last few days, he’d come to the conclusion he wasn’t a bad guy, and because of that, he also found it incredibly sad because there was no way of helping him. One day, he was going to die.

“So, now that we know my farts do in fact stink, why don’t you tell me how you’re going to fix things with Rose?” Graham said.

“Don’t.”

“Don’t what?”

“Don’t meddle in something that is not your business.”

“Seeing as I live with you, and I can see you stealing little glances at one another, I kind of think it is my business. Besides, last time I checked, you were still trying to make up for being an asshole. I’m a guy, I might be able to help.”

Rocco laughed. “You think you might be able to help me?”

“Well, I can tell you not to pick your dog over a woman, and I don’t see you with a dog, so I guess that won’t be happening.” Graham shrugged.

“You
