“What happened?” one of them growled at me.
“I’m a waitress. I ran into Dax—he’s my mate. Or he picked me as a mate. He’s—I don’t know the exact way to phrase it, but we’re mates. Soulmates. The wolf’s hunting me.” I spewed verbal sewage as my mouth struggled to keep up with my brain.
A few of the guys exchanged expressions I couldn’t really read. Reading people wasn’t one of my talents, though. I didn’t think the cops look surprised, at least, which I thought was probably a good thing.
One of them said, “We’re going to need you to get the wolf into the back of our car. When a hunting wolf gets violent, he’s required to stay in a cell until he’s proven that he can handle being among others.
Shit.
“I don’t think he’ll leave me, though. I’m not sure that’ll work…” I trailed off.
They didn’t look shocked by that, either.
“You’ll have to go with him, ma’am.”
With him?
In a cell?
Like… a jail cell?
Fuck.
“Alright.” My voice came out as a squeak. “Come on, Dax. We’re getting in the nice man’s car.”
“Put your hands in his fur,” one of the cops warned. “Hold on tight, and he won’t jerk away for fear of hurting you.”
“Okay.” I heard the restaurant’s back door open, and a few more people came out as I buried my fingers in Dax’s wolf’s fur.
“Hey, guys. We can keep an eye on him,” Elliot said, stepping forward a bit with his hands up in front of him. “We can make sure we keep him in his house.”
“Sorry, Elliot. You know the drill.” One of the cops shot him an apologetic grimace.
“Alright.” Elliot nodded, his lips pressed together.
“What about Sab?” Lizzy whispered to her mate. She was still behind him, as he used his own body as a human shield for her.
Damn, they were adorable.
I wanted a human shield.
My eyes flicked down to the wolf I was holding on tightly to.
Not long until I had one, I guessed. That was good; it would be awesome.
I just had to survive jail first, apparently.
“It’s fine. Maybe it’ll be cool. Think about the story I’ll have to tell,” I told Lizzy, feigning cheerfulness. “Come on, Dax.”
Giving him a gentle tug, I pulled him toward the cops.
