Rule # 18: Don’t spend all your time wishing. You’ll miss all the amazing things right in front of you.

“You keep interesting company these days.”

Myla gripped the wheel until her knuckles turned white but forced herself to let go before she broke her car. Instead, she turned her ire toward her uninvited passenger and the sparkling gray eyes that found humor in her situation.

“So do you. Stalk any other vampires lately, or am I special?”

“Its my job. Unlike your recent tendency to hang out with werewolves.”

“Not by choice. Are you getting out?” She started the car and waited for him to leave, grinding her teeth when he buckled the seatbelt instead. “Whatever. I’m not changing my plans for you so I hope you have a ride home.”

“So what’s up with the wolf?”

“Why do you care?”

“I don’t. Curiosity.”

“He thinks he owes me for helping his pack get to him. I can’t get him to accept that I didn’t do it to get anything in return, but apparently it's a wolf thing.”

Xander snorted. “Watching over a vampire is definitely not a wolf thing.”

“He says they see it as a debt.”

The hunter rolled his eyes. “Awfully noble for a group that fights to the death whenever someone new wants to be in charge.”

“They do? To the death?”

He shrugged. “Usually. Unless the title of Alpha is handed down through a family. Even then though, there are challengers. Anytime they see weakness in their leader, there’s someone vying to take his place.”

“What kind of weakness?”

“Who knows, packs are weird. It could be the way they handle a particular situation. It could be their choice in mate. They act like everything is pack business.”

“Sounds kinda like a family.”

Xander said nothing. His eyes were fixed out the window as if he was looking for something, but the tension in his jaw told her she’d hit a nerve. Not quite sure why the conversation had suddenly upset him, she was glad to see her stop up ahead. When she pulled her car off the street and into the parking lot, he seemed to come back to himself.

“What is this?”

“What does it look like? I’m going in, enjoy your ride home.”

Myla made it all the way to the ticket line before he caught up to her.

“Why here?”

“Why not here? Wes is at his game night, Stone had a pack meeting and absolutely forbid me to leave the apartment, and I didn’t feel like wasting a night sulking at home. This seemed like a good place to not sulk.”

His eyes skimmed over the fair like he’d never seen one before. Music from the cover band was pumped throughout the fairgrounds, the smell of fatty fried foods drifted on the air, and the colorful lights of the games and rides flashed over his face as he took it all in.

“Have you really never been to the fair before? Were you born a hunter?”

“No. I have.” He pulled his eyes away from the commotion and returned his attention to her. “It was just a really long time ago.
