Chapter 10

I was so surprised at something other than Artemis coming out of her apartment door that it took me a moment to realize this adversary meant business. My hands came up just a fraction of a second too late to defend myself, so a fist drove into my temple, and my head snapped sharply to the side. Dark spots scattered across my vision, and I dimly heard a high-pitched cry that must have been Kylah.

“Get off him!”

“You won’t take her!” my attacker snarled. “You won’t hurt her, goddammit!”

I felt the weight on top of me momentarily lessen as Kylah presumably tried to wrench the guy off me, but most of my attention was focused on the fact that his hands were trying to wrap around my throat. I reached up and grabbed each of his wrists before he could start to choke me, and I twisted one hand outward. He cried out but stayed on top of me, so whoever this guy was, he was strong.

“You won’t hurt her!” the guy repeated in a growling voice. “I won’t let you!”

“What the fuck are you talking about?” I managed to growl back.

Did he mean Artemis? It didn’t matter, because I still had a strong grip on both his hands, even if he was still pinned on top of me, and I shoved all my weight to the side as hard as I could to knock the guy off balance. He tipped just enough so I was able to pin his arm and, with my now free hand, I kindly returned the punch he’d given me across the face.

The guy groaned, and in the corner of my vision I saw a small spatter of blood on the floor of the hallway. While he was distracted, I got in another hit, this time to his stomach, and then I shoved myself away from him and scrambled to my feet. A second later, the guy did the same, and I got a proper look at him.

He was a little shorter than myself with reddish-brown hair and gray eyes.

Werewolf eyes.

“What the fuck are you doing?” a voice screeched, and a second later Artemis ran out of the door to her apartment and literally jumped between me and the guy who’d attacked me. “Get the hell off him!”

“Me?” the guy demanded. “He just showed up at your door!”

“First of all, asshole,” I said as I wiped a smear of blood from my lip, which had split when I’d been punched. “All I did was knock. Second, I know Artemis. We came here because we need her help with something.”

“A likely story,” the werewolf guy sneered, and his eyes narrowed in suspicion.

I could see the tension in his body and knew he was at least considering attacking me again, but Kylah stepped between us so she was standing next to Artemis.

“I would think very, very carefully about that if I were you,” the blonde told the werewolf guy in a cold voice. Her hands were ever
