A Tale of Silver and Roses

Valerie Tomlin is a Bounty Hunter living in New York City. As long as the money is right, she doesn't care whether you get furry during a full moon or have a tendency to turn your friends into frogs. She will do the job and do it better than anyone else in the business. At least, that is the reputation she is trying to build. When the head of the Lycan clan asks her to bring in one of their own on the subject of murder, Valerie jumps at it no questions asked, but things get problematic when she can't seem to pin the guy down long enough to grab him or keep him from looking at her like she is the answer to all his problems. Now Valerie is tasked with helping him get the answers to what is really going on, before they both end up dead... A Tale of Silver and Roses is created by Kailah Maldari, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 38: Say It Ain't So

Standing outside of The Night’s Tavern, I couldn’t stop my leg from doing its nervous shake. I was leaned up against the brick wall outside, and my leg was doing an anxiety dance against it. I tried not to bite my nails; my parents had always tried to get me to stop when I was young but after losing them it only made me want to bite them more. Still, whenever I rose my finger to my mouth to bite, I heard my mother’s voice in my brain telling me to stop. It was almost comforting.

Unfortunately, nothing could comfort me right now. Getting out of the apartment was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Wade and Lonnie were so worried about what was going to happen tonight that they both decided they would do some research and come back with what they found. I told them I would stay put, that I needed rest after all my injuries and maybe a drink too. It wasn’t necessarily a lie. I did need rest and a drink. I just wouldn’t be getting it right now.
