Chapter Eighteen

Ant woke up a few short seconds before Able started to growl. He quickly checked his surroundings. He was in his bed, in his room, which meant he was in his house, and yes Ant needed to be that specific. Also, he was awake, not dreaming. There was a naked vampire snoring beside him, hogging most of the blankets Ant noticed, but that wasn’t what woke him or why Able was growling.

Someone was trying to get into his house.

As he rolled out of bed, Ant glanced at the windows. It was definitely nighttime, and his phone screen that lit up as he picked it up showed it was just after three in the morning. Not the sort of time Bridget would come visiting, and she wouldn’t be scratching at the glass on his back door. She had a key to his front door.

Determined to take care of the issue before Viktor woke up, Ant frowned as Able stood, blocking his way. “What?” He mouthed, raising his hands. But as he did, Ant noticed his arms were naked, and so was the rest of him. Not a common situation for him.

“Good boy.” He patted Able’s head between his ears and then went over to the door, taking down his robe that was hanging on the back of it. Slipping it on and wrapping the cord firmly around his waist, Ant nodded at his dog. “Now let’s go and see who wants our attention so badly, shall we?” He kept his voice low, but as Viktor was still snoring, he doubted the vampire had heard him.

The prospective intruders were at the back of the house. Ant could see that would make sense from a criminal perspective – it was the farthest point of his house from the road.

But Ant was still confused. If the intruders had spent anything more than five minutes checking his place they would have seen the cameras the police installed around his property after his first attack due to one of his earlier cases, and if they had any sensation in their skin at all, they would feel his wards.

Pausing by his utility room door, Ant tilted his head and then winced as someone let out a muffled yell. “Ouch. Damn it.”

All right. His wards were working. Ant listened some more. If the people left his door alone, then he’d just go back to bed and file a report at a more respectable hour. But no. Able was crouched by his feet ready to spring, and he was still growling.

“Guess we’d better ask them what they want before they hurt themselves.” Ant sighed. He wasn’t a fan of confrontation – he didn’t understand what made people act the way they did at the best of times. But, conscious of Viktor
