CHAPTER ELEVEN

Probably? Had he just said probably? Skye wasn’t so sure she was up for this. Matter of fact, she was certain of it.

She was unceremoniously – but gently – pushed through the gate by Court. His large hand was warm through her clothes, steady. He thought she had courage, which was the only thing that kept her legs moving. If he knew the truth – that she was the biggest scaredy cat around – his opinion would change drastically.

But she wasn’t going to tell him. She wanted him to think she was courageous and bold for as long as she could. Eventually, he would learn the truth.

Her legs felt wooden, and her stomach still rolled from the adrenaline dump earlier. The bourbon Riley had kept feeding her was helping. Otherwise, she would still be sitting in the office with the blanket as a shield.

“Oh, God,” she muttered beneath her breath as they walked farther from the bar.

Every shadow, every sound was a potential attack. Skye was completely reevaluating her love of horror movies. If she survived the night, she was never eagerly watching Freddy Kruger again.

She glanced at Court. He was stoic, solid. Tough. He didn’t appear fazed by the night at all.

Except for when he’d shifted and tore through the vampires.

Skye shivered as she recalled those few seconds that had felt like months. Afterward, she’d made a complete fool of herself and threw her arms around him, just thankful that he was alive.

“Are you afraid of me now?” Court asked in a low voice as they walked.

Skye frowned. Afraid of him? Where did he get that idea? “Why would you think that?”

“You won’t look at me.”

She turned her head to him and gaped. Court grabbed her and moved her out of the way of an oncoming group of people. On her other side, Griffin chuckled.

“No, I’m not afraid of you,” she answered and looked forward.

She could feel him watching her. He was a force unto himself, and she didn’t even think he realized it. It was obvious as they walked down the sidewalk with Griffin a little ahead of her. Anytime someone got too near her, Court pulled her toward him.

Most took one look at his stern face and gave them a wide berth.

“I never intended to shift in front of you,” he finally said.

Skye shook her head in confusion. “Why? It’s part of who you are.”

“You’re freaked enough already with the vampires. Why would I want to scare you more?”

“I like to know what I’m dealing with.”

He made a sound at the back of his throat. “Are you telling me that you’re not a little uneasy about the fact that so many weres are around?”

“What makes me nervous is the fact there are vampires after me,” she said tightly.

Griffin glanced over his shoulder at her and gave her a nod of approval. Strangely, that made her feel better.

They grew quiet as they continued through the city until they reached the outskirts and the sidewalks ended. All around
