I walked into the office behind Faline, listening to the sound of office chatter taper off suddenly.
âThere she is, our own miracle child.â This came from a guy called Braxton, who was sitting behind his desk with a grin on his face. He was a shifter of some kind, but I wasnât sure what yet.
âMiracle child?â
He nodded. âCongrats on being inducted into PIG.â
I rocked back on my heels. âHow do you figure?â
Holding out his hand, he checked off his fingers as he said, âAttacked by a Renfield, fought Baba Yaga, got bitten by a vampire, survived a run in with a semi, Reaver likes youâ¦â
âOkay, okay,â I told him. âI get it. Iâm a bad-luck magnet.â
He still had that stupid grin on his face. âOh no, sweetheart. You arenât just a magnet. Youâre the epicenter, and youâre just the kind of human we want on the team. You didnât balk when you had to kill that kid or freak out when you stumbled into Wonderland. No, you stayed strong. Youâre one of us now, Cat McKenzie.â
Although I was shaking my head, I was also secretly pleased that I was being accepted like this. All my life, I felt like I hadnât been, except by Mrs. Brown.
âAlright, thatâs enough, Brax,â Sawyer growled as he came into the room behind me. I turned around to face him. He studied me with cool disinterest, no doubt seeing the bruising on my neck, the cuts on my face and neck, and the dark crescents under my eyes.
I tried to piece together the image of the man who had taken care of me last night and the truth about what he was. I hadnât been lying when Iâd said I didnât care what flavor of supe he was. I didnât. What I couldnât connect the dots on was the two sides of Sawyer.
Breaking into my thoughts, he said, âLetâs go. There was a report of a vampire attack at a convenience store overnight.â
I bobbed my head and followed him, hesitating a step when we got outside. My truck was gone, nothing but a crumpled ball of steel, which left us only one way to get around.
âYouâre insane if you think Iâm getting on there.â I pointed at his motorcycle.
He threw a spare helmet at me. âThereâs no other way to get there.â
I cursed the departmentâs lack of vehicles for PIG. âIâll take the bus.â
He blew out an exasperated breath. âJust get on, pussy cat.â
Resenting the name, and resenting that I liked it more when he said it, I slid the helmet onto my head and walked over to the bike. Sawyer sat astride, kicking the peg to get the engine started. I waited until his signal before sliding on behind him. I fixed my hands to his shoulders, but he repositioned them around his waist. I flexed my fingers, meeting the strong muscles of his stomach.
âSlide closer,â he said, his voice coming directly through a speaker in the helmet. âKeep your good arm tight around my waist and hang on.
