“I’m sending you a report.”

I scratch JJ’s scalp, loving his purr against my fingertips. “I told you. I’m not doing Wyvern House’s books. I—”

“Not that kind of report. It’s urgent.”

Grumbling, I click over to email. “What could possibly—”

My eyes bug at the pictures on the screen.

A gorgeous blonde with big, brown eyes. Her face is half hidden in a hooded sweatshirt, but she can’t hide from me.

Tall.

Toned.

And so fucking familiar, my hitched breath has JJ jumping to grab my shoulders. “Lilac? What’s wrong?”

With numb fingers, I touch her face on screen. “Sol.”

“We spotted your friend.” Hikaru’s sigh feathers my ear. “Marisol Redfang.”

My fluttering heart stops dead. “Can I see her?”

JJ and Hikaru make twin grumbles.

“That would be unwise,” Hikaru says.

“I want to see her.” I press her face.

The girl in the photo isn’t smiling.

I know that look.

Glancing slightly behind her, ducking her head.

She’s being chased.

I don’t care what her last name is.

Marisol’s my ride or die.

Just want to know where she’s been.

If she’s okay.

If I can help.

Hikaru keeps chirping in my ear, but my vision swirls.

My forehead beads with sweat.

“Lilac.” JJ sucks a breath through his teeth. “Your perfume.”

My belly quivers.

I press my stomach, suddenly sweating and soaking the room in sharp, toasty caramel.

Thought I was in shock, but no.
