I let my eyes trail down his body. “I’m wondering if I can still suck your cock with these fangs.”

A low rumble rolls out of Volik.

Then someone clears their throat. And someone else laughs.

I startle at the sounds.

Volik doesn’t.

I give him a what the hell look. “Did you know someone was coming?” I whisper.

Volik grins. “Da. But I did not know you would say that.” Then he lifts his gaze over my head to the newcomers. “Henry.”

I close my eyes.

Henry. One of the people who just heard me ask if I can still suck cock was the gods damn dean.

The throat clearing happens again. “Volik, Nix. What a pleasant surprise.”

Slowly, I turn to face my boss. “Hello.” Standing next to the dean is a man who looks closer to my age, and he’s clearly the one who laughed. I give him a small wave. “Sorry about that.”

His smile is full of humor. “It’s a fair question.”

Henry smacks him in the back of the head. “This is my nephew, Seb. Pretend he has manners.”

Even though they’re a dozen strides away, Seb still holds his hand out to shake.

I start to step forward, but Volik clamps his hand down on my shoulder with a growl. “Seb.”

I’m not sure if it’s a greeting or a warning, but the guy keeps smiling as he drops his hand. “The pack is gonna lose it when they find out I ran into you guys today.”

The men ignore him as Henry gives me an approving nod. “I’ve heard the rumors of the change but have to say, I like the new look.”

“Thank you.” I smile, even though I feel like my cheeks are going to melt off my face.

“Now.” Henry steps closer. “Tell me the reason for your visit. Is something wrong?”

“Not wrong.” Volik explains. “But we need to get to Tennessee tonight. And I was hoping you knew the current location of Dread.”

Dread? Gee, I’m glad the druid with the portal magic doesn’t have an intimidating name.

Chapter 75

Volik

“My Alpha isn’t here right now,” Henry states as we begin our walk to his house.

I lift a shoulder. “I came to talk to you.”

He does not point out the rudeness of my statement. But it’s like he said, it’s his Alpha. Not mine.

Nix is on my right side, our fingers entwined. Henry is on my left, hands to himself. And Seb is trying to cut behind me. To walk beside Nix.

I send a pulse of gravito out behind me.

Seb lets out a startled sound as he stumbles.

Henry sighs.
