It took a long time for Daniel to feed. She shook her head. The heel of my foot caught the bag just below the top edge, as it was supposed to. The woman wore one of those fifties-style uniforms that hotels give their maids; this one was mint green with a stiff blue apron. Adam smiled, but his voice was serious. I didn't stick around to hear if Zee passed my message on or not. I remembered how easily Littleton had subdued Stefan and had my doubts. There was a new bar, not too far from my shop, that billed itself out as a werewolf den. For a human it might mean getting a promotion or not, or winning a hard-fought argument. If I'd had half an hour I could have chewed through the leather, but I didn't want to be caught here when the sorcerer returned. So what would a vampire get from Littleton 's actions? I ducked my head into the hole, hoping the ghost who shoved me once wouldn't do it while I was hanging my head down. His lips were curling up now. "A witch who was also a vampire might be able to implant memories, but he couldn't have made Daniel kill. Stefan obeyed. "I'll work the shop today—and tomorrow, maybe longer," Zee said. My apologies," he bowed, a jerky motion that was over so quickly I couldn't be absolutely certain I'd really seen it. "An Alpha who counts on others to fight his battles doesn't stay Alpha long." Adam came to his feet and crossed the living room in four long strides while I waited like a rabbit in a snare, knowing I should run, but unable to move. "Nonetheless, tell us the very last thing you remember before the bloodlust hit." I was so easy. It sounded fine, but I couldn't see why he'd tried not to tell me that. I can't leave him running around in my territory." "She won't question me because I've been locked up in the cells under the seethe for the past week because of my ‘unfortunate attitude' about the Mistress's plans to create another monster. Doubtless they'd find something, too, but I'm betting they'll never be able to explain how a 180pound man turns into a 250-pound werewolf. Maybe Tuesday nights were slow. "There speaks someone who doesn't like…" He actually had to pause and change the word he was going to use. Littletoncontinued to feed. "He's still not shifting," I asked. Leaders who would not mind a reporter knowing who they are. "So," I said, "You want me to go hunt your vampire for you?" If the vampires were asking my help, it was a good sign they didn't know what to do about him either. "I haven't been much of a host. Without a word or an aggressive move, Adam backed him down. "It's loaded with silver," he said, the spike of fear I felt from him made me want to pat him on the back and tell him it would be all right—or it would if he didn't shoot me and Honey didn't kill him. I smiled at him. I couldn't tell who she was talking to, she was still staring at Warren—on whom she had gradually focused in preference to Ben—but Andre stood up and said, "He'll want to bring Daniel." The sky was striped with the beginnings of sunrise when I opened the door. I asked. The thought set my back up. I'd left Samuel and the pack and hadn't seen either again for more than fifteen years, almost half my life. Samuel appeared not to notice anything. I think that I can count on the fingers of one hand the times you've actually said the word ‘women' and not replaced it with an epithet referring to female genitalia." I shrugged, then remembered Littleton 's face when he killed the woman at the motel. Andre was quicker than I was. " I gave him a rueful look. He looked straight in her eyes, not realizing he was challenging her. I have that effect on people." Muttering to myself, I threw on clothing: jeans, yesterday's T-shirt complete with mustard stain, and two socks with only one hole between them. I swallowed my growl and tried to keep my voice as polite as his. "If Honey weren't a woman she'd be someone's second or third." He suggested that there is some trouble in the Tri-Cities." Hey, Naomi, we're out of cheese." "Run." I was a little surprised she fought well enough to take down Darryl, even a time or two. I took it because my mother taught me to be polite. So I got in a car with the vampire who'd createdLittleton because I believed he wanted the sorcerer as much as I did—he couldn't afford forLittleton to continue to run free, making more and more trouble for him. I shrugged. "And what are you doing meeting the Vampire queen? Good. I hadn't noticed that he'd left his cage, too—or that he'd moved at all. I did my best, but my left eye didn't want very badly to open. "I wouldn't call it talking, and he's asleep again. Everyone here was very afraid. Much too worried to amaze him with Bran's powers of deduction. He glanced at Ben. I pulled open the closet door—Stefan's pillow and blanket were still there from the last time he'd spent the day. His breath was shallow and unsteady. My little Rabbit wasn't alone, but it looked worried among all the SUVs and trucks. The closets in Samuel's room and the third bedroom had slatted doors that allowed too much light to go through. I glanced over my shoulder, but he was still looking out the other window. I licked my lower lip and tried not to enjoy the buzz of vampire blood on my tongue. The sudden warmth as the spell disengaged made me gasp. LikeWulfe's had been, his eyes were filmed over and blind. The longer they stay bound before they die, the better the chance they'll rise again. I shut the bathroom door behind me and dropped the afghan I wore on the floor. It had taken a lot of willpower to crawl out of that bed when my whole body wanted to curl up with Warren and sleep. Adam can see to it that they answer your questions without hurting anyone. He laughed. "He said you should check your cell phone for messages." I wonder if she knew that I had money, would she still have killed my baby? I couldn't tell if Stefan wanted me to bite him or not. She gave me a considering look. I looked at Kyle. I tuned him out and concentrated on Warren , as if I could hold him here by sheer force of will. "Air-cooled takes a lot of upkeep," Zee said. I took a deep breath, but all I could smell was the bitter darkness—and that was getting stronger. It's an expression I see a lot around the werewolves. "Stefan and Warren are both out hunting tigers with slingshots," I told him. Okay, that's not exactly what I said. "Call him. He may have saved my life once and taken a bullet for Adam, but that didn't mean I had to like him. I touched his face as he relaxed. I waited anxiously for a smart-ass comment, but Samuel was tired, too. A half hour later there would have been no sign of it at all. I'd written down their names. Between his schedule and my clever avoidance tactics I hadn't seen him for almost two months. ThatWarren had survived being a homosexual werewolf as long as he hadwas a tribute to his strength and intelligence. I reached down to the bottom of the bag, where something else was hidden. I hadn't known vampires could drink tea. He tapped his way along the wall that was the end of the trailer. Pain blossomed like a mushroom in my head. CHAPTER 9 Andre was waiting for me in the parking lot, standing beside one of the seethe's interchangeable black Mercedes, ready to drive me to Stefan's home—as if I were stupid enough to hop into a car driven by a vampire I didn't know. "He's my neighbor," I said. "Yes. "When I'm through with you, you'll be as much of a celebrity as he is. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, I thought, meeting Samuel's gaze. "It took them only a day to bring you to trial and it's been two weeks for Andre." "Is he all right?" "Enough." Reluctantly, I hopped to the backseat. My fur kept his skin away from mine, but that didn't keep his touch from feeling filthy, unclean. So I volunteered to speak with this stranger myself. I could see his friend's situation was eating at Tony—and I had a strong surge of sympathy, and guilt. "How so? The wolves aren't magical like the fae are." Her face went a little blank. Instead I walked along beside her for a quarter of a block. Adam snorted. "How interesting," he said. Even so…"But only if he asks," I added hastily. If Jesse hadn't come in, I would have surrendered myself to Adam, like some heroine from a 1970s series romance, the kind my foster mother used to read all the time.Ick. "Mostly envy, I expect. It was about thirty years old, and both of the smiling young people in it were blond. "He ate me," he whispered in a quietly frantic voice. "Not on purpose, but most of them don't have Stefan's control. I touched my neck. "Doesn't mean we don't have one we don't know about—but there are things we watch for."
