seeing it. Not because he didn’t think she could handle it, but why put her through it? Since he didn’t hear a heartbeat inside, if there was someone in there they were dead. Whoever had done this had violated her belongings and her safe haven.
    â€œCall him,” she finally murmured. “If this was Troy, this has to stop.”
    Hector pulled out his cell with his free hand, tightening his grip around her as he slowly walked them away from the home. He didn’t want her anywhere near the house until it was cleaned up. This was ending now, before Daphne was in any more danger.

Chapter 6
    Five days later, Daphne was about to go crazy. Her boots clicked along the sidewalk as she strode with Saul toward the Full Moon. The city lights twinkled around them and the music and boisterous excitement from people out enjoying their lives was incredibly grounding. Hector needed to work and she wasn’t about to monopolize all his time as her babysitter, but he’d asked her to come see him tonight and she wanted to get out of the mansion. Ever since her home had been trashed, there hadn’t been a peep out of Troy—if he was even the person who’d done it. Deep down, she was pretty sure he was. He certainly wasn’t returning her phone calls, which was pretty damning in her opinion.
    And for the last five days she’d been cooped up in the pack’s mansion. She and Hector had talked every day and he’d been by to see her a lot, but they hadn’t had more than a moment of privacy. Plus she’d been attending school like normal—well, with an escort at all times. There was no way in hell she was going to let some psycho take that away from her. Now she was sexually frustrated beyond belief and had decided that tonight was it for her and Hector. She was pretty sure he felt the same way, though he was hard to read sometimes. He’d been really weird that morning when they’d talked on the phone, but she didn’t know if that was about her or the whole situation and she hadn’t wanted to analyze it.
    â€œSo what’s the deal with you and Hector?” Saul asked.
    Yeah, like she was going to tell him anything about her feelings for Hector. He was the biggest gossip of the pack. “We’re friends.”
    Saul snorted. “Yeah, I make out with all my friends too.”
    â€œIf you had any female friends, you probably would.”
    â€œYou’re my friend and I don’t make out with you.”
    â€œBut you would if I let you.” Of that, she had no doubt. The man would hook up with anyone.
    Grinning, Saul just shrugged in that charming manner of his. While she loved him and understood why females flocked to him, no one got her heart racing the way Hector did.
    Music and laughter spilled from the bar as they approached. Saul went in ahead of her, as was male shifter custom—they had this thing for checking for possible danger—and stopped so suddenly she ran into his back.
    He swiveled and looked down at her with pity. What the hell? He tried to stop her, but she peeked around him and saw some tall blond female plastered against Hector, her mouth pressed against his. And Hector’s hands were on her shoulders . . .
    The sight was like a punch to her stomach. No, worse than that. Unwilling to watch the horrid display—or worse, start crying in front of half her pack—she turned on her heel and stalked down the sidewalk. If it had been any other time, she would have marched up to him and probably punched him in the face. But the last week had left her raw and overly emotional and right now she didn’t trust herself not to make a scene in front of shifters and humans alike. Some kid had developed a sick obsession with her and she was worried she’d somehow caused it. Add to that her growing feelings for Hector and—damn it, she was such an idiot. She refused to cry in front of anyone. It was the only reason
