CHAPTER 12

Arek startled awake, trying to figure out where he was. The warm body draped over his chest helped him remember. Doctor Marconi—Laney—grunted in her sleep like a little cub. Someone knocked softly on the suite’s door—again. That was the sound that had woken him.

He untangled himself gently from the sleeping witch and slid out of bed. Outside the window, pale tendrils of morning sun streaked the sky. Soundlessly, he padded on bare feet across the suite's sitting room to the door on the other side. "Yeah," he said in a low voice.

"It's Bolt. Sorry to wake you. But you need to see this."

"Give me a second." His second in command wouldn't have bothered him unless it was urgent. Arek pulled on his clothes and pulled the comforter over Laney before leaving the bedroom.

She mumbled something in her sleep, but he couldn't make out the words.

He joined his lieutenant in the hallway.

Bolt looked him over. "Was that wise? She's a witch." Unhappiness and anger traveled down the pack bond. What the fuck was this about?

"Not interested in your opinion," Arek shot back. "Why are you here?" He frowned. Justice, Bolt, and he were tight, but they didn’t discuss each other’s choice of bed partners. What did Bolt have against Laney? Arek had slept with witches before.

His lieutenant pushed his hands deep into his pockets. "Someone just called Justice about two dead wolves. They washed ashore on Kirby Cove Beach."

Fuck. "Drowning? Who are they?"

"I don’t have the details. Justice drove down to confirm that they were indeed wolves. He called me and I came here to get you."

"Who found them?" If someone knew the body belonged to wolves, it was probably another shifter.

"The campground attendant is part of a local mountain lion clan. He recognized the bodies as shifters." Bolt rocked on his heels. "The campground has a few overnight guests. The lion wants us to get the bodies out of there as soon as possible."

Right. If regular humans got involved, it would get a lot messier. Dead bodies at a public campground would be hard to keep out of the press. "Let's go," Arek said, heading down the stairs to the first floor.

"I can meet up with Justice again and bring the bodies here," Bolt offered. "You should shower before we go. I can smell her on you." His nose wrinkled in distaste.

Arek stopped, took a moment to collect himself, and then stepped into his lieutenant’s personal space. "What is your problem?"

Bolt started back. It took a powerful wolf to meet an alpha’s stare. Both of his lieutenants were dominant enough to lead packs of their own, but so far, they'd never expressed an interest.

Commanding alpha wolves was a delicate balancing act. Arek dealt with it by encouraging them to express their opinions, but Bolt's behavior tonight bordered on disrespect. Arek’s wolf growled his displeasure.

His lieutenant dropped his gaze. "No problem," he said. "None of my business."

"Let's keep it that way," Arek shot over his shoulder as they walked down the hallway to his suite.
