Chapter 10

Chiron remained in the shadows as he watched Lilah scurry into the hotel. His body was clenched tight with frustrated desire, and his fangs ached to taste the blood of his female. But it was the grim urge to rush forward and toss her over his shoulder so he could take her to his lair that worried him.

There was no way he could avoid the truth any longer.

Not when it was seared into every fiber of his being.

He battled against his instincts, watching the ogress who had turned to glare in his direction. Could she see him? Maybe. He didn’t care. He had a few questions for the female who’d been here with Lilah’s parents.

Stepping forward, he frowned as the female abruptly hurried toward the far side of the garden. She clearly was on a mission. Chiron shrugged. He would track her down later.

For now…

Chiron stiffened, his brows snapping together as he caught an unmistakable scent.

He turned on his heel, glaring toward the thick clump of cypress trees.

“Show yourself, Ulric,” he drawled. “I know you’re here.”

The Were stepped into the moonlight, his golden eyes glowing and the musk of his wolf stronger than usual. He was dressed in a black tee that was stretched tight over his bulging muscles and a pair of worn jeans with heavy shitkickers on his size fourteen feet. Chiron’s lips twitched. He might as well have tattooed badass on his forehead.

“How did you find me?” Chiron demanded.

The Were shrugged, strolling forward. “I have a tracker on all our cars.”

Chiron felt a jolt of shock. He was willing to endure Ulric’s habit of fussing over him like a mother hen, and even his tendency to believe Chiron was incapable of protecting himself. But he’d be damned if he allowed his guard to trace his every movement.

“You have a tracker on my car?” he growled.

Ulric shook his head. “Not your personal car, but you used one of the casino vehicles, and I have all of those tagged.”

Ah. Chiron had almost forgotten he’d grabbed one of the fleet cars when they’d left Vegas. There was no way he was allowing Levet into his Jag.

“I followed the trail to the edge of the swamp, then it disappeared,” Ulric continued. “I had to use my finely honed senses to actually locate this hotel.”

Chiron folded his arms over his chest. His annoyance wasn’t entirely appeased. “I thought I told you to stay in Vegas. You don’t obey orders very well.”

Ulric didn’t bother to act contrite. A good thing. He was terrible at it.

“I obey them with spectacular skill if I happen to agree with them,” the Were assured Chiron with his typical arrogance.

“I’m not sure you have a firm grasp of what obey means.”

“My pledge is to protect you,” Ulric reminded him. “That comes above any orders. Even from you.”

Chiron knew he was wasting his breath. Well, not his breath, because he didn’t have any, but at least wasting his time protesting Ulric’s belief he was in Chiron’s debt.

Still, he couldn’t help himself.
