Chapter Eighteen

Marked for what?

I went upstairs and stripped out of my wet clothes. After putting on a robe I carried some towels downstairs for everyone else. Justina was shivering in a chair beside the kitchen table. I wrapped the large towel around her shoulders and hugged her tight.

“Stupid question here, but are you all right?”

“No,” she said through chattering teeth. “But, I think I will be. Eventually.”

Chase took the towel I offered and wrapped it around him. “I can make us some coffee,” he said.

“So,” Justina said, sniffing, “you knew Eramus was a werewolf? Were you going to share that with the rest of us?”

“It wasn’t my secret to tell. Besides, I only found out a couple of days ago. Even if he’d told me to spread the word, which he didn’t, I still wouldn’t just spring something like that on you.”

“I suspected it,” Chase said.

We both stared at him open-mouthed.

“How could you possibly?” I asked.

“Easy. It was the way he smelled.”

Justina snorted. “You recognize the scent of a werewolf?”

Chase smiled. “Not like that. Have either of you been around a werewolf before?”

We shook our heads.

“They smell too good to be true. It’s like the best cologne ever, but I can’t put it into words.”

“Pheromones,” I said. “I don’t think you can put it into words.”

“He does smell great,” Justina agreed.

“Doesn’t he?” Chase asked. “I was around a wolf once before in a club out in New Orleans. But he didn’t smell as good as Eramus.”

I took a seat beside Justina and put my head in my hands. “Did you know about Nick?”

“Are you kidding me? It must have happened after I left. I’d like to think that I would have at least noticed something strange if I was living with a werewolf.”

She looped her arm through mine and we just sat there, huddled together for a few minutes. I think we stayed close as much for warmth as we did for comfort.

“I could find you a robe,” I offered.

“I’m fine. I think it’s my nerves making me shake this hard. What the fuck kind of day was this, huh? Mr. Hottie is a werewolf, Oz is an assassin, and my ex really was a monster after all.”

She laughed bitterly. Chase walked over and put his arms around both of us.

“You’re going to be okay. Ozzy is still Ozzy, Nick will never bother you again, and I think that if Eramus wanted to hurt any of us, he’d have done it by now.”

Ozzy walked in and we all jumped. He was soaked through, but somehow didn’t seem as cold as the rest of us. He ran a hand through his hair, slicking it back against his head. Even after all that had just happened, Oz was still good looking to me. The silence was a little awkward. So I worked up the nerve to ask what I felt like everybody wanted to know.

“What did you do with the body?”

“It’s in my truck, across the road.”

Maybe you’re too isolated when people
