A few minutes later, he was walking back with his phone, and hit the button to turn it on speaker. My eyes narrowed as it rang a few times, before Tori answered.
“Hello?”
My stomach clenched.
I didn’t want her in danger again because of me.
“This is Alpha Archer Madden. We have your friend Lovene in custody, and won’t release her until we know who she is and what she’s doing here.”
There was a moment of silence.
A long moment.
“What’s this about?” Tori finally asked.
“The fact that we have a female vampire on our territory without request or explanation.”
Another pause followed.
“I’ll be there in ten,” Tori said, before the line went dead.
I grimaced.
Clearly, I had made a bad decision.
Potentially the worst in my life.
If I got my friend killed, I’d never forgive myself.
“There’s a solid chance this woman is your mate, Madden. If I were you, I’d try to smooth shit over sooner, rather than later,” Bauther murmured to Madd.
“Tori is smart. She won’t come blazing in with the truth,”my wolf said.
“I sincerely hope so.”
Ten minutes later,the police escorted a grim-looking Tori into the room.
She was tall and slim, with pale skin. Her strawberry-blonde hair was cut in a pixie, with the longest pieces in the front falling in curls to her cheekbone.
Her gaze landed on me, and I lifted my hand in a wave to show I was fine.
Tori’s lips quirked up a tiny bit. As always, she was wearing athletic clothes. She had on a pair of biker shorts, and a sports bra that resembled a cropped tank. It was the middle of the summer in Wildwood, so the weather was perfect, and we could wear pretty much whatever we wanted.
Her attention turned toward both of the men in the room after she was sure I was okay.
“Show me the paperwork with the reasoning behind Love’s imprisonment.”
The guys were caught off guard for a moment.
Tori added, “It’s not technically illegal for a vampire to visit or live in Wildwood, as long as they don’t drink blood without permission or attack the pack in any way. Did Love hurt anyone?”
There was another beat of silence.
She knew I couldn’t harm a fly with anything other than my fangs.
And while Ihadbitten Madd, it could qualify as a love bite, since we were making out.
“Open the cage,” Bauther commanded.
