Chapter 9

After the worm fight, Logan got the unenviable task of taking Adara to a safe house. Adara didn't exactly cooperate which might be why he stuck to his wolf form as he walked her down the road.

They'd ditched the car a few blocks back. To mask their scent trail for anyone following, Adara shook a vial of cayenne pepper on either side of her - the spice found in the glove box that Titus informed them was part of Stefan's stash. The old spy who tried to stupidly follow two masters.

"I'm tired of hiding," she said, not for the first time.

Funny how she had a hard time talking freely to the man, but the wolf? He got to hear every confession. Couldn't say much with his muzzle, but he could make disparaging noises when she said something dumb.

Like her dislike of hiding. Hiding wasn't always a bad thing. Hiding allowed a wolf to regroup, heal, and plan. But Adara saw it as a punishment.
