Chapter Nine

From a shadowed alcove near Illusions, Marshall watched the threesome across the street. The man extended his hand in greeting to Erika. She let her arms fall and accepted it with a warm smile.

He clenched his jaw as a pang of jealousy sliced through him, making him more suspicious.

Kamdyn seemed to reject the guy with a flick of her wrist. Why couldn’t Erika have done the same thing? Instead, his red-headed sprite stretched her hand out for the guy’s wolf to sniff. The man and Erika were talking when Kamdyn turned, leaving the two behind.

Marshall fisted his hands. He had no right to feel the way he did. He’d only met her yesterday, but that didn’t stop his gut from tightening with a desire to make her his. He drew on his years of training in Special Forces in order to stay put and simply observe them.

The deal with the tree suggested something else was going on with Erika. His intuition told him she’d stumbled into a situation she wasn’t even aware of.

With his dragon’s fine-tuned ear, he’d heard the guy introduce himself as Cedric Hawthorne of Finnich Glen right before Erika had turned and fled after Kamdyn.

As Erika hurried to catch up to Kamdyn, Marshall stepped further into the shadows. The females crossed the street and traveled right past him, so close he picked up Erika’s earthy scent.

When it appeared safe, he stretched his neck out to view them once more. He appreciated Erika’s long stride and the supple sway of her hips. A block up the street, the women cut into Santa’s Workshop, a faded brick, three-story building. The place had some magical glow going on that kept icicles hanging on the eves all year round. Only in Nocturne Falls. He shook his head.

Considering it was March, and Christmas was a long time away, he wondered what interested the females in there.

He glanced back to wolf-man, who was also eyeing the women. In a smooth motion, the wolf swung its head toward Marshall and stared, his penetrating, green-golden eyes narrowing as if in warning.

Keep your paws off the redhead, buddy.

Cedric caught the wolf’s glare and nodded in Marshall’s direction.

Some research was in order. How long would this guy be in town? He hadn’t seen him before. What was he up to? What was his history? Why now?

“This looks like a fun place,” Kamdyn announced once the big double doors closed behind them.

Erika took in the huge space filled with toys and goodies both large and small. From the domino games set up to topple at the flick of a marble, to the yellow go-cart positioned to go air-borne over a ramp.

“Yeah, I wish I was a kid again,” Erika said.

They followed a red carpet path deeper into the store. The scent of fresh pine and peppermint filled the air. Twinkling lights covered the ceiling. Holy rock-candy. This was her kind of place. She breathed deeply and felt the solid ground beneath her feet.

A checkout counter occupied the center, where an employee rang up a customer’s merchandise.
