CHAPTER 22
Phil
This time, I stayed indoors with Dillon and Ruthie as Good Riddance Gnome Exterminators did their thing. Sedrick was outdoors with them, and I didnât like it. I wanted him inside, with us.
âHow long do you think itâll take?â Dillon asked. His nose was pressed against the glass window. I could tell he wanted to ask Sedrick if he could go out with him but wisely kept that request to himself.
âIâm not sure.â
Ruthie was on the kitchen counter, and I wrapped an arm around her. She was snuggled up tight against her brother, staring out the window. Given the large hedge of thorns Peaches had called up, none of us could see much. Mostly I stared at Sedrickâs back, taking the opportunity to drink in all that werewolf muscle. I shifted, a little uncomfortable when my cock thickened.
âThose gnomes donât stand a chance against all those ogres,â Dillon insisted.
It was another reason I was locked up indoors. We currently had five ogres stomping around in Sedrickâs garden. Iâd already tempted fate with Mildred and didnât feel like tempting it further.
Dillon sucked in a harsh breath, pulling away from the window. His eyes were wide, and Ruthie was his mirror image. âDid you see that?â He pointed at the window, never once looking my way.
Given my position, I couldnât see much of anything. âIâm sorry, but I didnât. What happened?â
âThat ogre bent over, and when he came up, he had gnomes attached up to his elbows.â
âAttached? How?â I tried to get a peek, but Iâd need to dislodge Dillon or Ruthie to see anything and didnât want to do that. Besides, Iâd already gotten up close and personal with enough gnomes to last me a lifetime.
Dillon swallowed hard and whispered, âTeeth. They were clinging to his arm with their teeth.â
I shuddered. Ogre skin was tough, probably the toughest of any of the species. Trolls were a distant second. I wasnât sure how the exterminators worked. Was that it? Did ogres just reach into the ground, wait for the gnomes to try to defend their nest by biting, and pluck them out? And then what?
Dillon answered my unasked question. âHe just tossed all those gnomes into a big, square box.â Dillon finally looked at me, and his eyes were as wide as ever. âWhat do you think they do with them? Do they kill them?â Dillon didnât seem overly upset by the idea. Werewolves were meat eaters. They were hunters by nature. Most likely, Dillon didnât find the loss of life nearly as upsetting as I did. Gnomes were nasty and dangerous, and we needed them gone, but I didnât like to consider what that meant.
âIâm not sure,â I answered honestly. âMaybe your Uncle Sedrick knows. If not, we can ask Mr. Gladstone.â Iâd been surprised when heâd shown up with the ogres. I didnât think Titan Gladstone went out on too many calls.
Dillon gave a firm nod like that was a good enough answer. I was glad because I didnât want to think about it anymore.
