Chapter Ten

His first day back in Great Oaks since his mother’s funeral sucked, and though Grant wanted to see Shayla so badly it fucking hurt, he needed to get his head back together first. So he spent the whole morning getting caught up at G. Mitchell Financial Solutions, then headed to Brass Cat that afternoon and locked himself in his office to go over financial records. In the few days he’d been gone, the shit had hit the fan at Brass Cat, though Shayla had texted him everything was under control. Grant didn’t like being lied to.

Sydney had texted him that Detective Jackson, a mountain lion shifter, was now investigating Hunter Knowles as the possible hacker. The first officer Shayla had spoken to hadn’t seemed too interested in investigating anything in much of a hurry. Another fact that Shayla hadn’t shared with him. Sydney had been filling him in about the whole ordeal since she still did some freelance graphic design work for Shayla. Did Shayla not want to burden him, or did she not want him by her side in a crisis?

Being audited was a surprise but probably also part of Hunter’s attempt to get Shayla to admit to being whatever he thought she was. Maybe Hunter needed a visit from a bear with sharp teeth and sharper claws. He growled, and it took a few deep breaths before his claws would retract. He should probably have concrete evidence before tearing into the guy.

I’ll make him confess, the bear promised.

Pounding Hunter into the ground was a satisfying image to picture, but Grant had work to do, so he forced himself to concentrate on the numbers in front of him, double-checking what his replacement, Tessa, had already double-checked, before the CPA checked everything again. Running numbers helped distract him from the crazy shit going through his mind. All the important documentation seemed to be in order, so an impending visit from the IRS wouldn’t be bad, just a time suck.

Whether Shayla was a regular or hiding a secret ability in the same way Grant kept his shifter abilities a secret, he didn’t care. He loved her and he knew with certainty that he wouldn’t hesitate to kill Hunter if he came near Shay. Grant also knew it was too soon to tell Shayla how he felt about her or to reassure her that Hunter would die a painful death if he ever hurt her. Thinking of Grant as a murderous, violent man might not be too reassuring for Shayla. She was probably better off without him, especially if she wanted kids, because no goddamn way did he want to pass on his DNA. He had no idea how to be a father either.

J. D. acted like a father to you. Greg and Aiden are your brothers.

J. D. was a good example. But is it enough? Greg initiated me. Greg and Aiden are not my brothers.

Greg saved your life. He took on your initiation and claimed you as family. They love you even though you’re a dick to them.
