I laugh and cover my mouth. I close my eyes and shake my head, but I’m grinning as I pull my hand away. [color=#DB7093]”Are you afraid of ghosts, Nic?”[/color] I ask. My tone is teasing, but I also seriously want to know, so if I do have to warn him of a presence. I’ve never been able to see ghosts or spirits unless they want me to sense them. I was never blessed with that gift — for which I am glad — but I do sense them and know when they are around.

He and the bitch he took home left three of my guys bleeding and unconscious in the alley.” Avery growls behind me and pushes into my shoulder. I create an unmovable wall and prevent him from jumping Levi. Which I wish I could have let him do. I start laughing. [color=#006400]”Are you telling me your boys are upset because Avery found someone to bring home, and they didn’t? Levi, werewolves already have a reputation for being territorial, but please, this 1800s treatment of women is a little old, don’t you think?”[/color] I look at him with pure amusement. He doesn’t seem pleased by my reaction, but he also starts to realize how stupid this whole thing is. [color=#006400]”Look, Avery is going to come across you and your people often. He knows to let you have the lay of the land when you come hunting on my property, and he knows who is in charge in Chicago. But if your guys can’t handle a little healthy competition every once in a while, they will get complacent, and then someone will come in here and sweep everything out from underneath you.”[/color] Levi’s eyes flash yellow, and the female werewolf on the desk steps aside, her eyes also shifting. “Is that a threat?” I smile pleasantly and shake my head. [color=#006400]”Not at all, but I am in close contact with the Marrok. Do you want me to tell him what type of company you keep and what a shithole you have your pack living in?”[/color] Levi pauses and breaks eye contact with me. [i]Gotcha.[/i] I walk towards Levi’s desk, the female wolf shifting to stand in the corner of the room. My phone buzzes, and I pull it out to read Nero’s texts, followed by Kimiko’s. I have the upper hand over Levi, so I take a second to respond, but I don’t let my face betray the joy I actually feel from seeing Nero prance around the store, excitedly trying on bags like a fashion model. [center][color=#006400][i]I may have. Don’t worry. She hasn’t crashed a vehicle in years.[/i][/color] I tell Nero. [color=#006400][i]Did you seriously tell one of the wolves they have a limp dick?[/i][/color] I text Kimiko. She really skimmed on the details from earlier.[/center] Looking annoyed, I slip my phone away and look down at Levi. [color=#006400]”As far as I am concerned, last night was a spitting contest. That club is meant to be neutral territory. Besides, we have more important matters to discuss. Call in your second.”[/color] I look at the female cowering in the corner. She dashes out of the room without even looking at Levi for dismissal. I feel faulty, knowing she will likely pay for that later.
