You’ve got visitors.

Teague chuckled as he read Cass’s text message. He knew he was being watched. At first he thought he was being paranoid, but then he caught sight of reflective eyes in the wooded area that sat across from the fire station after the engine’s second run this morning. And now half way into this shift, another set of eyes that were almost as blue as the first had joined in. Both cougars were blond, one slightly darker than the other.

And now somewhere in the forest, Cass sat hiding behind the shifters watching them as they watched him. They were so fucked if she lost her cool.

I know. Can’t do much now while I’m at work unless they attack. Cass, DO NOT KILL THEM!

He tried not to let on that he knew they were there but he was losing his patience. While he stood outside he kept his sunglasses on and toyed around with his phone, but his gaze was strictly out there keeping an eye on the cougars. Until his phone vibrated in his hand with the message from Cass. It rang this time, and Cass’s name appeared on the screen.

“Hey,” she whispered. “I’m about a mile away. It’s two of them. Want me to grab one? Am I too loud?”

“You’re fine,” he said, giving a wide smile to let his watchers think he still was oblivious to their presence.

He knew that from this far away the cougars wouldn’t be able to hear her voice. They had nothing to compare it with, but from Cass testing out her saber-tooth shifter abilities they’d figured that the Ghost’s senses were better than the average shifter. Cass had taken to shadowing shifters around town, seeing how long it would take them to notice her stalking them. She was getting scary with her tactics, but she was such as sweet talker that they took her antics as a curious new shifter figuring herself out.

“Why don’t you head on home and we’ll talk later?” He already knew her answer before she spoke.

She blew out an irritated breath and then growled low into the phone. “Because you forgot your lunch, again, and I can’t have someone in my clan hangry. I can’t help it damn-it,” she whisper-yelled. “Teague, I think I’m about to ruin my new favorite jacket.”

“What?” It was the only thing he managed to say before the sounds of fighting came through his phone. At the same time, the two lions that were watching him ran in Cass’s direction.

Shit. He’d had his sights on his two watchers. That meant another had snuck Cass.

Without glancing around to see if someone would notice, Teague broke into a run that would let any passer-by know he wasn’t completely human. He cleared the tree line and ran in the direction of their community, hoping that Cass had taken her usual route to the fire station. He stopped for a moment and quieted himself, listening for the fight, sniffing the air to follow the two cougars that had been watching him.
