Kismet squeezed his hand. “How did she know where we were?”
“I don’t know, but I’m going to take the truck to the shop and put it on the lift to check it out.”
“A tracker?”
He shrugged. “It wouldn’t surprise me.”
“She’s crazy.”
“And that makes her dangerous,” he said, casting a glance at his mate. “I don’t want you going anywhere alone until we know she’s moved on.”
“We’re leaving Sunday for my realm.”
“I know, but we’ll be back next weekend. It’s better to be vigilant than to be caught off guard.”
“Okay. I can fight, you know. My dad made sure I knew how to defend myself.”
He pulled into the parking lot of the shop and shifted into park. “I know, sweetheart, and I’m sure you could take her if she was by herself and not in her shift. But I don’t think she’d play fair, so you might find yourself surrounded by wolves, and that’s not anything anyone should ever have to face.”
“Well, I guess I’m not surprised,” she said.
“What?”
“You’re irresistible.”
He snorted. “I only want to be irresistible to you.” He paused before opening his door. “What she said back there…”
She put her fingertip on his lips to silence him. “I’m sure she embellished things for my benefit. I don’t trust her as far as I could throw her. Her aura is messed up—muddy browns and yellows, no goodness in her at all. When she was talking about you, her aura turned a sickly green color and that meant she was lying.”
His brows rose. “You can see auras?”
“It’s part of my fae powers.”
“What does mine look like?”
She gave him an appraising look and then smiled. “Your colors are all that I’d expect of a mated man—pinks, oranges, blues—love, loyalty, honesty.”
“I wish I’d never met her.”
“I’m sure she wishes you and I had never met.”
“Even if I was unmated, I wouldn’t want whatever she’s offering. She means less than nothing to me. Anything that happened before you walked into my life isn’t worth thinking about.”
She smiled softly. “I feel the same way.”
He quirked a brow at her. “Are there any crazy exes on your side?”
“Nope,” she quipped. “You’re the lucky one in that area.”
“Awesome,” he said.
He got out of the truck and entered the code at the large garage door to turn off the alarm and raise the door. It lumbered to life with squeaks and squeals, and he got back in the truck and drove forward into the bay, the automatic lights flaring to life. He centered the truck on the rack and said, “There’s an apartment here you can hang out in.”
“Why do you have an apartment here?”
“The male who owned the business before me lived in it. I let visitors use it if they need a place to crash.”
“I’ll stay with you if that’s okay.”
