Chapter Eleven

Lucan carefully climbed out of bed, smiling down at the sleeping Jamie. The previous night had been everything he’d ever wanted, more really. That didn’t change the harsh reality of his life and mission.

He gathered up his clothes in silence and carried them into the living room before getting dressed. Lucan slipped on his shoes and made his way to the door of Jamie’s apartment.

Lucan stepped outside and closed the door as quietly as he could manage. If he could hide from the military at Luna Lodge, he should be able to get away from Jamie’s place without waking her up.

That didn’t mean he had to like it. He was a piece of shit. If she asked him later, he wouldn’t deny it. There was no doubt in his mind.

They’d shared something wonderful, and now here he was slipping out in the early morning like some sort of criminal ashamed of what he’d done.

Meanwhile, Jamie slept naked and comfortable in her bed. A piece of him ached to go back and snuggle into the warmth of her body. He’d certainly done so over and over the night before.

No. It didn’t matter. He shook himself, trying to keep focused on why he was leaving to begin with.

Now wasn’t the time for a mate. The incident in town only proved how dangerous things had become for anyone connected to the hybrids.

Jamie might have gotten away from the woman, but the next time it could be more than one, or they might have a gun.

Lucan bit back a growl at the thought of Jamie being killed.

Right now, the best way to protect her was to stay away from her. Maybe it was too much to ask for the Group to be destroyed before they could be together, but at least they needed to get the mind-control crap figured out.

Something in the back of his mind kept needling him, telling him that she was strong enough for this, but he pushed that voice back down.

It didn’t matter how strong she was. He could never forgive himself if she was hurt.

As he crept down the stairs, he thought about A.J. Kinkaid. He had no real memories of the man, other than vaguely remembering the name.

It was strange, really, to have someone he barely knew have so much influence over his life, to have someone who had been responsible for causing him so much pain be a mere ghost in his thoughts.

The scientist would pay. The entire damn Horatius Group would pay.

Lucan lingered for a moment at the bottom of the stairs, peering around the area and listening intently. He was leaving to help protect Jamie.

The last thing he wanted to do was leave if some enemy was nearby waiting to snatch her up. A few long moments of searching revealed nothing suspicious.

He sniffed, but didn’t smell anything surprising. Even the unusual scents of Leah and Jamie were familiar by now. Nikon’s scent lingered, but weakly.

Now, more confident in his actions, he headed over to his bike.
