Tris won the five hundred pounds, although Gwen didn't do half bad, arriving fourth this time. Apart from Chloe, she was the only racer to finish without any paint on her clothes. She'd been smart enough to cast a protection spell, so the paint bounced right off her.

Someone managed to get Jack behind the shoulder blades, and although no one was admitting to the shot, Chloe would have bet her money on Tris, who looked far too smug.

They ended up at the pub again, and this time, Gwen stuck to beer.

Chloe thought about her promise to tell Blair the next time they were having a drink with the huntsmen, so, with a fresh beer in hand, she excused herself to use her phone outside of the crowded establishment. She wasn't sure whether Blair had left to see her family for the whole weekend, but she tried to call just in case.

The call went to her voicemail after the tenth ring.

Chloe hesitated as she turned back toward the pub, her eyes darting to the edge of the forest. After debating for a moment, she crossed the road and zigzagged between detached houses to reach the Wolvswoods.

"I have a beer," she announced.

She felt rather foolish upon hearing nothing but silence at first, but after a moment, the vampire stepped into view, his booted feet muffled on the forest floor.

"So I see."

She lifted her hand to give it to him.

"Not my drink of choice."

Oh well, it was worth a try.

"You're on a blood-only diet?"

He flashed her a toothy smile. "If you must bribe me for intel, I'd recommend wine and coffee."

Apparently, her intent had been obvious.

"Come on. You're following me. That means I'm in more danger here than Charles has told me. Can't blame a girl for wanting to know where she stands."

He made no reply.

"Did Charles find the source of the bounty on me?"

"I have no idea."

Chloe frowned. "Could you ask him? I mean, he sent you, right?"

She was grasping at straws.

“I’ll try not to be offended by the assumption that someone like your Charles could order me around.”

Chloe lifted a brow.

“He couldn't?”

“No.”

He wasn't going to make her interrogation easy, was he?

"Then who did order you?"

He looked beyond her shoulder. "Your friends are looking for you."

Let them look for a second.

"It was Levi, right?"

She only knew two vampires. Well, given the fact that they'd met all of three times, she couldn't really say she knew Levi, but no one else came to mind.

The vampire narrowed his eyes.

"I'll take that as a yes. Why is he making you watch me?"

"You'd have to ask him."

Chloe sighed. Asking him wasn't a good idea. Being anywhere near Levi wasn't a good idea. She could have a perfectly civilized conversation—if a little pushy and nosy, perhaps—with just about anyone else, but she lost her mind around him.

"Yeah, right. I'll do that, I guess."

With a sigh, she started to walk away before turning back.

"Wait."

He hadn't yet dissolved into the shadows.

"What now?"

"What's your name?" she asked him. "If you're going to stalk me, we might as well get properly acquainted first.
