CHAPTER THREE

Liam had known the moment he was attacked that it wasn't the female interrogator, but even after hours of questioning from other Agency lackeys they still insisted on pinning the guilt on her. His colleague inside the Agency escorted him out of the building with a tantalizing tidbit of information. The woman, Reagan Silas, had been suspended and would eventually be fired and locked away in the Agency's lower-level holding cells reserved specifically for the magic users that the Agency felt had gone rogue. Peterson also slipped him an address in case Liam wanted to enact a little revenge before the fledgling witch disappeared.

No part of him was interested in revenge, at least not on her. The way he saw it, she was as much a victim as he was. Someone had already signed her death warrant without knowing all the facts. Or worse, they knew and were setting her up to take the fall for their failed assassination attempt. He spent another hour combing her neighborhood and asking around, knowing full well word would spread to the Agency that the wolf was looking for her. With any luck, it would ferret out whoever had attacked him.

Later when he'd stood on Reagan's doorstep bleeding from a wound he couldn’t even see, he almost laughed at how perfectly his plan had worked out. Now he had the psychic bastard in his head, and even though the wound was not physical, it was bad enough that the blood had manifested itself in the physical world. Ever since the Special Agent had opened up his mind, something had changed in him. He could see the world she’d seen and was unable to turn it off. He saw his attacker, he felt the pain even though it was in his mind. The weapon of choice this time was a crystal shard that the attacker had stabbed him with while they wrangled in the strange plane of existence that psychics called the Mindscape. The crystal shard inside his mind would eventually kill him, and yet minus the unexplainable blood, he’d look as though no physical harm had happened to him. With his string of bad luck today it would probably all be placed squarely on the shoulders of the young woman he was waiting for.

When she’d opened the door and eventually agreed to help him, he felt his beast stir. The wolf wanted the poor woman more than it wanted to hunt or run free. And when she touched him the man in him growled right alongside his beast. There weren’t many things Liam was certain about in this life. He could count them all on one hand. One, his world had collapsed with the death of his wife. Two, leading his pack was all he was good at. And three, nothing in his life had felt as good as the feeling of Reagan resting her soft hands against his temples as she slipped into his mind. Long locks of chestnut brown hair tumbled over her shoulders and brushed against his face making his nose twitch.
