Chapter Six

“This is Maverick,” the alpha wolf said when he answered his phone.

“I need a favor.” Orlando leaned back in his office chair, staring through the glass walls of his office at his squad room. The damage had been mended from when the gunmen had seized the station and opened fire. The bullet holes were gone, the ceilings and walls repaired, the desks that had taken hits replaced, but nothing would bring back the deputies he’d lost that day.

“I heard about the shooting in town,” Maverick said. “Do I need to send some sentries to help out? I know you’re shorthanded since you lost two of your deputies.”

Their loss had been a tragedy, and no one deserved to die that way, but Myers had been quietly under investigation for tampering with evidence, lying on reports, extortion, and a whole host of other charges that would’ve gotten him put in the underworld.

Detective Lewis Keating had been gathering up evidence against Myers before the deputy had been killed. But anytime someone in town gave their condolences, Orlando thanked them instead of telling the person Myers had been a dirty cop.

There was no use tarnishing the police department. That wouldn’t bolter public confidence in them.

“The fun never ends when you live in our world.” He set the spray bottle down on his desk. If humans thought their world was filled with violence and destruction, they had nothing on the preternatural world where nonhumans did a hell of a lot more damage, especially when they had powers to wield.

A human could go into a bank and rob the place at gunpoint. A demon could go in there and level the entire building while setting it on fire by simply producing flames from their hands. Or a guy could slap someone and leave a red mark or bruise. A shifter could do the same and tear half the person’s face off with their claws.

And that didn’t even skim the surface that elves could shimmer in and out of places, and Panahasi could create vortexes to exit and enter through. Vampires could bespell their victims, ghouls existed, along with shapeshifters who could become anyone they wanted to be.

The list went on and on and that was why their world had the Ultionem to police those who used their powers for evil. If humans thought their
