“Rogan?”I finally squeak out.
No response.Wolves don’t talk or bark.They only growl and howl.
Yet no sound comes from the alley.
I stand carefully, my breathing still rapid.“Rogan?”
But he’s gone.
17
Ibrush the gray hairs off my chest.
Gray hairs.Graywolfhairs.
My breathing finally returns to normal, and I lean against the brick wall for a moment.
He changed.Rogan changed.Almost instantaneously.I looked away for mere seconds, and when I turned…
No sound.No bones snapping.No howling or shrieking.
He just…changed.
This isn’t anything new.I’m well aware of his heritage, of what shifters become.I’ve just never witnessed it before.I had no idea it happened so quickly.I walk forward where the tatters of his leather boots, his jeans, his T-shirt lie on the ground.His scent is still thick in the air, and my body reacts.My nipples harden, and I throb between my legs.
My God, I’m in love with a fucking wolf.
I close my eyes for a moment, allow the thought to sink in.Then I pop my eyes back open and attempt to think logically.
I’m here for a reason.If Rogan is behind the vamp murders, I need to prove it.That’s why I’m here.Not to lust after the suspect.
“Get a grip, Hannah,” I say aloud.
I leave the alleyway and head around to the front of the resort.Crowds of people running along the strip.Fear and panic cut through the air as individuals push and shove each other, knock each other to the ground.What’s going on?
I meander through the throng of bodies and make it to the front door.
A security guard stops me.“I can’t let you in, ma’am,” he says.“There’s been a bomb threat.”
My eyebrows nearly fly off my forehead.“What?”
“Move away from the hotel for your own safety.The bomb squad is on the way.”
“Let me in,” I say.
“I’m sorry, ma’am, I—”
“Let me in.”
The guard’s eyes glaze over.No demon here, unless he’s faking.“Of course.”He stands aside.“Go right in.”
Perhaps entering a building in the middle of a bomb threat isn’t the brightest idea, but I’m banking on Rogan.His security is top-notch, probably filled with demons, and I’m willing to bet this is a fake.The upside for me if it is?I can do a search of the place while no one else is present.
The downside?
I get blown to smithereens.
Not on my bucket list, but then neither was falling for a damned alpha werewolf.
