Chapter 23

The hilltop parking lot was only half full, but Carter knew not to waste his time looking for his father. The chief never much liked the outside world and would already be on the trail back to Supai Village. Carter could do nothing but wait for the rest of his team to arrive.

“Do you want to try and catch up to him on the trail? I’m up for a run if you are.” Kell gave him a concerned look.

“There’s no point. He’ll be on horseback and going a lot faster than we could on foot. Myrine should be here soon. If she was able to get us a helicopter, we’ll still get there ahead of him.”

“So, we just sit here. Do you mind if I ask you a question while we wait?”

Kell looked almost mischievous and Carter knew what was coming next. The ranger saw some crazy things the night before and must have been dying to get the details. She’d shown incredible restraint to wait as long as she did to ask. “Go ahead.”

“This probably isn’t any of my business, and I’m sorry if I’m overstepping, but I just have to ask.”

Here we go, Carter thought.

“Do you know if Han is dating anyone?”

Carter wouldn’t have been more stunned had she broken out into song. “Seriously? After everything you saw last night, that’s the question you want to ask me?”

Kell’s warm smile spread across her face as she raised her eyebrows. “Don’t get me wrong. I have a slew of questions about all of that, but a girl has to have priorities.”

Her attitude was infectious and Carter found himself actually enjoying the conversation. “No, Han isn’t dating anyone.”

“Good to know. So about all that other stuff…”

Carter took a deep breath as he tried to find the right words. Myrine would have been the better person to have this conversation, but he was stuck with it. “There are people in this world—preternaturals—who have special abilities. For a really long time we kept to ourselves. Then, a little over ten years ago, some of the bad ones united and the good ones had to do the same. Myrine formed the Omega Group as a way to keep all of the others in check. We have preternaturals from all over the world and we go wherever others are causing problems.” Carter was actually proud of himself for summing it up as well as he did.

Kell stared at him for a moment, taking it all in, then said, “So, I know that you’re a werewolf—”

“I’m not a werewolf. I’m a shape-shifter that can change into a wolf. No full moon required.”

“Sorry. You’re a shape-shifter. What about the others? What can they do?”

Carter explained each of his team members’ abilities, probably in more detail than he should have. It was nice, for a change, to be able to talk to an outsider about his work. For her part, Kell stayed silent. She didn’t pepper him with questions after every unbelievable statement or question his sanity.
