Chapter 9
Raine stared at the burned-out carcass of his truck. The silver paint had bubbled into black blobs, the interior was crusty, and the windows were all shattered.
âItâs totaled,â Evan muttered, crouching down to peer beneath the sidewall.
Raine looked at the demolished engine compartment. âYep.â He measured the distance from the truck to the front door. âThe guy couldâve just as easily thrown the projectiles through the front window.â The thought that Mariana had been that close to danger the night before tightened the muscles in his neck until his head ached.
âThis stalker has upped his game.â Evan peered into what used to be the back seat. âThere was no hint of violence in the Dallas records.â He paused and turned toward Raine. âThis is directed at you, but if heâs obsessed with Mariana, heâs going to see your new, ah, friendship as a betrayal.â
Friendship. Well, that was one way to put it. The sounds of her sighs from the night before were still running through his head, and he wanted more. A lot more. âIâm aware,â Raine said, ignoring the smoke still wafting from the engine area.
Evan dusted soot off his hands and stood to his full height. Heâd filled out quite a bit since mating Tabi, although heâd been a big guy as a human. Well, he was still human but now had extra chromosomal pairs making him immortal. âIâm new to this world of yours.â
âI know,â Raine said, studying a male he now considered a friend. âHow are you doing?â
Evan shrugged. âFine, I guess. All of the secrecy and uncertainty is a pain, however. There arenât any human males whoâve mated immortals that we can find. Iâm sure theyâre out there, but apparently I have to stay under the radar, so I donât know what to expect.â
âNone of us know with you,â Raine admitted. âSo long as youâre not nuts and trying to take out whole cities, I figure youâre fine.â
âI donât want to hurt anybody,â Evan said, looking like the cop heâd been for so long. âThis new strength is taking some time to get used to, and I have to stop accidentally breaking cell phones or Iâm going to run out of money. My senses are strong, too. I can smell Mariana all over you.â
Raine tilted his head. Was Evan going to warn him off in an effort to protect the fragile shrink? âYour point?â
The cop shrugged, looking around the quiet neighborhood. âIf youâre immortal, why canât you mate her? She obviously likes you, and immortality ainât bad.â
Raine didnât have time for this. âI already explained enough. My time is limited.â
Evan met his gaze directly, and a dark blue rim surrounded his normally blue iris. That was new. âImmortals donât get sick, as far as I understand. So how is your time limited? You really are going to have to explain that.â
âI really donât,â Raine said mildly, acutely aware of the oath heâd taken at the age of ten to protect his family. His reaching
