“We should go out to the reserve tomorrow if we want to do this right,” Aden said. “I’ve got a training room if you don’t want to use the grounds for a hunt.”

Darren smiled. “Yeah, let’s go out to the reserve. It’ll be good to stretch my muscles a bit.”

Aden worked quickly at the rest of the knots, unfolding Darren’s body with each one freed. Once they were all on the floor, he rolled Darren onto his back, stretching out on his side next to him with his head propped up on his hand.

“How did you used to stay loosened up? Just on the job?”

“Yes. I never had three weeks of downtime. If things were quiet in DC, then Jasmine would send us out on field assignments. She kept track of possible wolf attacks up and down the east coast.”

“Have you thought any more about contacting some of the freelancers?”

“I decided to wait on that for a bit. Everybody around here is enough on edge without me going out on hunts every night.”
