However, I keep my mouth shut and focus on my boba. Stabbing the straw through the top, I try to focus on anything but the fact that I now work in Homicide, the last division I ever wanted to be a part of. I try to convince myself that it's okay.

Doing something that no

Take it down now! However, he did not wait for an answer. I calmly stepped out from the shadows of the room and announced, "I did."

Havoc broke out again. Shadows pooled at the wolves' paws nearest to Dea and me. I watched with morbid fascination as Tania stood near the window, hands barely moving as she compelled the shadows to do her bidding. The wolves who steadily approached hadn't noticed the tendrils of shadows curling up their paws. They hadn't felt the cold touch of their caress. Fear hadn't stroked its icy fingers through their blood-matted fur because they were practically salivating at the sight of Dea and me. It was a two-for-one deal.
