Chapter Seven

Goose bumps appeared on his arms as he parked his car at a free lot. Seeing the two grim-faced enforcers standing by the door to the restaurant turned his stomach into coils. He didn’t get out of the car, not instantly anyway. He needed to gather his nerves and put his game face on.

Even though a week had passed since he’d left the body in the restaurant, Sergio and his wolves hadn’t given up looking for the murderer. Damn the wolves for being suspicious. Then again, what did he expect?

According to his contact, the murder had done the job. It had riled the wolves up. He stared at his hands, wondering when he stopped thinking of himself as one of Sergio’s wolves. All he was now was the words the enforcers muttered among themselves—traitor, bastard.

If they knew his identity and linked him to Abbott’s murder, he would never see the light of day. They’d drag him to the restaurant’s basement and see how many screams they could get out of him.

Feeling uneasy, he took out the bottle of pills in his back pocket. The small white pill stared back at him, looking deceivingly innocent. At first glance, no one could tell that this was the bane of all of Sergio’s problems.

He swallowed one and rolled a second between forefinger and thumb before deciding that he needed all the courage he could get today. The second hit the spot. He leaned against his seat, shutting his eyes momentarily.

The effects would emerge soon. He would be transported to the happy place, and everything would be fine. Shifters didn’t get high easily, but Latitude worked wonders. Wanting another, he flipped the bottle. Nothing came out.

A snarl emerged from his lips. Fuck this.

He fumbled for his phone and dialed his contact. The bastard picked up on the fourth ring, probably delighted in making him wait.

“I’ve been expecting your call,” Grant said.

“I need more.”

Their conversations always went like this. Before this war, he’d thought werewolves were predators. They had existed atop of the food chain. Seeing warriors he had looked up to all his life fall to their deaths had scared the hell out of him.

He had been looking for a way to bring his stress down when Grant had appeared out of nowhere. Latitude was tons better than ecstasy. It hit like a brick and left him wanting for more. One dose led to another. The next thing he knew, he’d become an addict. Grant wasn’t just his dealer but also his savior.

Grant’s chuckle grated on his nerves, but he gritted his teeth.

“So soon?”

“It’s been an awful week. Do you have any idea how I’ve lived? The enforcers are investigating everyone, and there’re the claw marks I left on the window.”

“You were sloppy,” Grant said with no emotion in his voice.

“I did what you fucking asked.”

Desperation leaked into his voice. Grant didn’t speak. The silence turned out to be effective. He began rubbing at his free arm, not realizing all that waiting turned to scratching.
